Decapitation: Kubikiri Cycle - The Blue Savant and the Nonsense User by NISIOISIN
4.0
"Isn’t there something really scary about people who knowingly, consciously, use others as stepping-stones?”
My thoughts after re-reading "Decapitation: Kibikiri cycle, The blue savant and the nonsense user"
Written by NisiOisiN
Illustrated by Take
Re-read?:
Last time I read this book was back in 2017-2018? so with how bad my memory actually is it felt almost as if reading this book for the first time, and yes, it surprised me a lot with how great NisiOisiN's first book is.
The story:
A nameless narrator goes to an island where the most brilliant minds of the world are gathered, after a murder takes place, he tries to discover who the culprit is, not because he is a good-hearted guy but because it would ruin his schedule
Enjoyment:
The first 3/4 of the book are really slow but with some very interesting dialogues it never feels boring, the first part does an incredible job at character and world-building while the last 1/4 is just a blast to read when the story picks up it really picks up.

The verdict:
It's a very slow book, some parts feel like they drag on for too long but in the end that really didn't matter, the good writing makes up for all of that. The last 70 pages of the book are especially good and what makes this book so memorable, decapitation is an 8/10
