(Continuation from yesterday)

One of the hardest things about Kaoru Takamura and Ryotaro Shiba's novels is that they have so many characters.

Of course, I'm well aware that the writers are working on characterization to avoid this problem.

Give them nicknames, make them behave in a distinctive way, change the way they say lines of dialogue, etc., however, with my small brain capacity, I can't remember all the characters.

To be honest, I'd like to see three people chasing the killer and three suspects.

As for Ryotaro Shiba's "Ryoma Goes", he was so powerful that even the characters who did not move in the novel appeared -- honestly, I forgot about the contents.

I believe that one of the best things about the so-called "Light novel" genre of books is that the illustrations (often "moe" pictures) help the reader understand the story.

And I believe that a "movie" is what you get when you expel all the words from a novel and make everything into illustrations.

Therefore, it is seldom the case that a movie is more difficult to understand than a novel, but it is also true that there are many people who are furious as a result of a novel being made into a movie.

Well, each person has his or her own "conception of the work," and this is something that cannot be helped.

Anyway, I don't find value in 'reading through long and difficult novels', but if possible, I would like to 'enjoy novels as novels' in my mind.

In my case, I read books by linking people and things that are similar to the people I have met and the things I have seen.

I'm interested in how people other than myself "watch" the characters and the site, in the novel.

However, in response to Kaoru Takamura's novel, I am not qualified to criticize her novels with saying 'It's too long! Please make it more concise!'

This is because the columns I contribute are always criticized for being too long.
