As an author, I’m impressed by this novel. The way you’ve created a small, isolated town with its haunting steel bridge and eerie atmosphere is brilliantly unsettling. It immediately draws the reader in, establishing a sense of foreboding that builds throughout the story.Shouichi is a well-crafted protagonist, and his internal struggle with grief and the slow unraveling of his sanity feels incredibly real. The tension between his everyday life and the strange occurrences he faces keeps the reader on edge, wondering whether he’s losing his mind or confronting something far darker.I also appreciate the way you’ve woven in the romantic subplot, which provides a brief moment of light before the growing sense of dread takes over — it adds a nice emotional layer to Shouichi’s journey.Overall, this novel is a captivating psychological horror that masterfully balances character development with suspense. It’s a compelling read that keeps you guessing, and I can’t wait to see how it all unfolds. Excellent work.
