Book review. Love game.

I didn't think it would come this way. It's fucking good. It's fucking fun.

9 Points or ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ☆

An elaborate abduction story with some purpose to read, but of course there's a money story involved because there's a ransom, but more interestingly, there's a love, a passion, or something like this between a kidnapper and a beautiful victim.

The plot / storyline is good, plain-looking, but very fun, easy to read, easy to understand, winning from beginning to end, winning success. At first, it was thought to be a typical kidnapping investigation, but not because the hero is called a kidnapper or a kidnapper player. It shows the processes that the hero does to achieve certain goals. It's more of a thriller than an investigation, but there are some puzzles to find in the end.

This book has a little bit of a character debate about the sale of women's services. It's like an idea from two sides of the provider and the recipient, which is interesting. The chemistry of the heroine is good, but love doesn't make sense, but there's something hidden in it.

It's about a quick move. It's a direct step through the hero's mind. It makes you see the complex idea of planning a kidnapping game. Some points may be annoying, but I always want to know what the hero is going to do next. It's very interesting. It keeps reading. It's enjoyable. It's not boring. It's very addictive.

Guessing is quite difficult, many of the events are unexpected and the peak is because I don't know what this is going to be, but there are some points to guess, but I feel like it's peak anyway. I believe many people shouldn't guess.

In the end, after the abduction, there was a huge peak, but it wasn't unthinkable, it was thought to be like this, but it wasn't very attached. It was like wanting this.

Overall, it's very fun, very exciting. I don't think it's this genre. If it's an investigation, I might not like it this much. At the end of the peak, it's a lot. But going through a smart and complex-minded protagonist might be annoying, but it's not boring. Anyone interested can try it. I recommend who is a Keika teacher fan club already, shouldn't miss it.
