Carrion comfort = Satsuriku no chesu gemu (Volume # 1)

The novel delves deep into the psychology of evil and manipulation. I'm curious what inspired the author to explore these dark themes so intensely.

I found myself wanting more momentum during that stretch, but I wonder if it was a deliberate choice to develop the characters' mental states.

The ambiguous nature of the antagonists' abilities makes me wonder whether Simmons wanted us to see them as literal or symbolic of human darkness.
