And I'm pretty sure I had the same issues with the previous books by Uketsu. Great ideas. Love the horror. Love how unsettling it is, but so many times it's over explained.
Strange Houses (2025)
A Japanese mystery bestseller, revolving around a series of unsettling floorplans, in which the reader is the detective - from the Youtube sensation Uketsu. A mysterious windowless room on a house's floorplan hints at a hideous secret A young girl suspects that her cousin's seemingly accidental death was the result of a sinister family tradition Can you uncover the dark secret of these strange houses? When you do, an unforgettable truth will be revealed.
I have read Strange Houses by the same author, and I was so on the fence. It's kind of horror, Japanese translation. It was just weird because the story was based on floor plans, so I wanted to try something else by the author just to see
I think the concepts for these books are so much fun and I'm always loving it at the start, but then I always feel the same where like by the time we get to the last chapter, it gets very like convoluted and I start to get confused about what is even going on.
