Shusuke Michio - Ikenai - The Essence of Puzzle Mystery!

Solve the mysteries hidden in the four chapters!
Chapter 1: You must not look at the cliff of the bow-thrower.
Chapter 2: You must not listen to that story.
Chapter 3: You must not notice the mystery of the painting.
Final Chapter: !?

A trick for the reader that Shusuke Michio has set on the final page of each work.
Solve the mysteries of the photographs and diagrams.
After solving the mystery of each chapter, there is an even more surprising truth!?
An unprecedented puzzle mystery.

(Commentary)
This might be more of a puzzle than a novel.
That is because this work has no ending.
It is we, the readers, who create that ending.
You follow the case with the help of photographs and maps.
While reading, I thought for a moment that this wasn't a novel, but a puzzle.
But that must be Mr. Michio's intention.
He wants us to enjoy the mystery freely and solve the truth; perhaps that desire has culminated in this style.
Although there is no solution chapter, most mystery fans will probably be able to reach the basic conclusion somehow.
I was able to solve the mysteries of the first and third chapters, but I only managed about half of the second and final chapters, and I couldn't reach the truth of the whole thing.
In the end, I managed to learn the full picture by referring to articles online.
Reading articles like this makes me feel like Mr. Michio has even factored in online spoilers and is enjoying it himself.

Furthermore, a sequel titled 'Ikenai 2', created with the same concept, has also been published.
I am thinking of taking on the challenge soon as a form of revenge.
