I think we need to give credit to koji suzuki for creating not only ring but dark waters. he is another horror writer that is great at creating a suspenseful and frightening scene

If you ever feel like you have no idea how to make the characters in your story get something extremely important for the final confrontation/climax/whatever, just do this!

koji suzuki wrote the book that started the j-horror craze in the western world (which is the ring) and he could not care less. man wants to be remembered as a girl dad first and foremost, and i respect it heavily.

"I'm glad they took the most problematic parts out of the Ring out of the movies" you mean the queer parts??? The parts that gave the novel meaning and depth, it's critique of masculinity and society? The challenging and subversive parts meant to make people examine themselves and feel uncomfortable with the status quo? Cuz those are the parts they took out

I'm never gonna refer to Koji Suzuki as Men Writing Women-core, because frankly he's just not. What he is is what men-writing-women SHOULD be like.
There's this amazing line "like any high-school girl, Tomoko paid a lot of attention to her hair, shampooing it every day, that sort of thing". Absolutely perfect. This cis guy tries to make a list of things young women do to take care of their hair, and is just like. Well... Wash it. I know that part, I do that. But then she does other stuff too! What other stuff?
That was I get a laugh and no-one had to breast boobily anywhere. eta: after a moment's thought this is still from Asakawa's perspective so it's like. Correct. men writing men thinking about women (badly) IS very much Suzuki's style.

“What I feel was not so much a desire to be reborn as an unbearable revulsion at the thought that Sadako Yamamura and everything she represented would rot away at the bottom of that well, unbeknownst to anyone”.

The book Ring by Koji Suzuki is so sad when you think about Sadako. She’s born from a mother who possesses powers of seeing the future, and inherits these powers. Her mother and father are first accepted by the public, but soon turned on and have their lives made hell. Her mother kills herself, and her father nearly dies of pneumonia bc he thinks he can give himself powers. Sadako grows up having to keep her powers to herself, and holds a grudge against the world that tore her family apart.
People seem to forget how Sadako died. She was raped, and then murdered. Her anger and fear and rage against the world that hated her and her family is so much, that her powers imprint onto a VHS tape AND ARE HER MEMORIES ON THE TAPE. She’s so angry and sad and I felt so much for her while reading. She wants to see the world burn, to tear apart everything with her bare hands because the world is so unendingly cruel to her.
