The artwork was lovely! The mystery made sense in the end, but it wasn’t very satisfying. It felt like it was going through the motions: a character seems suspicious. whoop. misdirect. And I honestly think they forgot about Saito in the end. her whole thing was being bored and above everything. if you're so bored, why are you on this freaky island???
I do want to acknowledge writing mysteries can be difficult, especially with keeping suspense and not making it easy to figure out the real killer/villain. I love mysteries, but I don't know if I could write a convincing one myself.
