On its own, Sealed Room is perfectly enjoyable and deals with familiar themes of the series.

Perhaps the exception might be 刀城言耶 - I'm keen to try one of the short story collections, as the individual stories sound like puzzle-oriented novellas. <br /><br />My first of two bundles of Chinese novels - or rather, novels written in or translated into Chinese - has arrived! 🤩 Just started on Chan Ho-Kei's 'Man Who Sold The World'.
