If you're looking for a harem novel, I have to give you a heads-up. The male protagonist, Asakawa Lu, is a character in the book, a copy of the consciousness of the real-life Lu Chuanqian. The female protagonist, Asukai Shi, is a consciousness clone of Xu Qishi in reality. Because the real-life protagonist was rendered a vegetable, Xu Qishi, who possesses superpowers, plans to create a copy of the male protagonist's consciousness and then insert it into the real-life male protagonist's body to revive him. Of course, there's nothing dramatic about these two couples, and it's not a debate about which one I love more. If you don't see this as a problem with the clone strategy, then it's fine. From my personal perspective A harem story with a protagonist resembling Baki, featuring a combat system, mystery, and supernatural powers, is quite interesting. However, the romantic storyline is still somewhat underdeveloped. And the part about drinking poison was the most cringe-worthy for me; I almost gave up on the book.
The concept itself is actually quite good, but every volume throws in something weird and disgusting that I couldn't stand it after finishing the first four seasons. The main character always seems to make a mistake for some reason, even though they could have avoided it—that 3-15-39 thing was absolutely hilarious. And every time they try to get into something profound or morally stimulating, it ends up being incredibly clumsy. I can't empathize with the idea that killing a bunch of animals would somehow lead to the male and female leads arguing.
This is so explosive, comparing it to other books would be considered a spoiler. Finishing the ending felt as satisfying as staying up all night to complete a second playthrough of "The Serpent's Fate."
Reflections after reading
After reading the whole thing, I feel like I have something to say. Although probably not many people will come to the long comments section to read the whole thing before reading the main text, I'll still leave this as a disclaimer. As a mystery novel, it incorporates superpowers, but each trick doesn't feel like blatant cheating, which is what keeps readers engaged. After all, the author himself stated that this isn't a typical mystery novel. While the foreshadowing isn't exactly subtle or overt, it does make you feel like there was something there beforehand when it's revealed. However, the protagonist's insistence on ignoring some discordant elements is also a bit unsettling. The protagonist's combat power is the most frustrating I've ever read. He's undeniably strong, able to crush everything, but he always seems indecisive or gives the impression of forcibly suppressing his strength. Honestly, the final boss's identity and the boss battle were really, really painful to watch. It's not that it's illogical; after all, there's only one possibility for the boss's power level. But the way it broke the fourth wall was really frustrating. I could say I only managed to finish watching it because of the momentum from the previous plot. The most frustrating part is that I don't have the ability to write a better ending. If I were to change it, I would have to change the underlying logic of the world and the boss's character settings. My favorite part was definitely the red and blue text battle between the mystery club members and the final boss. It was truly mind-blowing, giving me the feeling that: "How can they cheat like that?" Another memorable part was when the detective went to fight in the Marineford War. Honestly, it would have been better if they hadn't added the final monster element; it felt like watching Deus Ex: Mecha.
This ending reminded me of the ending of QD's post-apocalyptic romance game, it felt very similar, but the ending was much better.
