Description Supposing Books 新世界より [Shinsekai Yori] (From the New World (Novel))

What a book! That was a monster, with 900+ pages.. Took me so long to finally finish it. But it was absolutely worth it. I watched the anime version first and fell in love with it, so I decided to look for the actual novel. It wasn't translated officially, that's why I read fan translation. The worldbuilding is stunning! The author constructed all the things related to a "new world", from history to biology of this world. It was rich, detailed and interesting to read about brand new world in the future. And with all the tranquility and peacefulness of this world, the plot twist comes when you realize that the world is not as innocent as you thought. I really love utopia-turn-dystopia books and this story delivers it good. The truth was chilling and horrifying. The plot is amazing. Sure, there were some boring long parts, but generally, it was full of excitement and mystery. The whole novel consists of three parts, combining the childhood, teen years and adulthood of the characters. The idea of "cantus" ( psychokinetic powers), minoshiro and other genetically engineered animals, death feedback (attack inhibition) was used so cleverly that you wouldn't even question it. There were plot twists at each parts and heart-breaking events. The book was incredibly depressing... The characters were great, especially the main ones. I really loved Satoru, Shun, Saki and Maria. Their friendship, love and support were too strong, although sad things kept happening. So sad that I didn't want to believe it. Here, the fine line between villain and hero was erased, giving us a really complicated story. There were some intimate moments and some kind of new things that is not quite right for our current society, however they were what made the book interesting and fresh. Honestly, it was one of my favorite science-fiction novels of all time!

Criticize About Books 新世界より [Shinsekai Yori] (From the New World (Novel))

漫画とかアクション映画が好きな人には良いと思うが３０年の構想と言う割にはまだまだ内容が浅いと思う期待しすぎたかいろいろと無理がある設定や先の読める展開には多少がっかりした何より神道や仏教が妙に描写されているが特に意味はなくデザイン的なものだった点に関して何とも言えない気持ちである

(5/10/16) Everyone tends to look at this Goodreads page for the complete book rather than the volumes/parts, so I'm going to make a note here - these are my thoughts of the first part of the novel: https://www.goodreads.com/review/show...

A remarkable world was built by Kishi in a intriguing perspective. The smart use of daily life activities embedded the hidden mechanisms of how everything would happen. At the same time, character building is done in a complicated but surprising approach. Overall a big epic book and a enjoyable one. Slow at start but it gets intense and mesmerizing really quick. I read this in Chinese.

Amazing. Without giving too much away, one of the best dystopia/utopia sci-fi novels I've ever read.

Simply stunning. The concept, worldbuilding, characters, plot - 10/10. One of the best science fiction book I know. I am so grateful that someone translated this into english.

Probably the most creative and interesting science-fiction world I've ever experienced.This book has blown me away on several different levels and I find it ridiculous that it's still not licensed in English.Kishi's writing is well-structured and unpredictable. He likes to go into details, but not once have I felt bored by them. In fact, my only problem with this book is that a year after finishing it, I'm still craving for more information. The story has concluded nicely, but I feel like this

Solid 4.4 stars. This was captivating and affecting throughout, despite being fan-translated (very well). I imagine that Id give a 4.5 or higher if Id read this in its original language.Pros: I loved all the characters, villains and protagonists alike Saki especially, I think shes a great protagonist. I also loved the world so, so much. Its so interesting and since its sci-fi, nothing felt arbitrary. The whole plot was a real page-turner; the author did a super good job at getting me hooked on
