Synopsis

In 1930, I became Britain's bestselling mystery novelist. But I couldn't be happy about it at all. First, I plagiarized. Second, I'm out of ideas. Third, starting that day, every case I wrote about would play out in real life. But none of that was the most important thing. The most important thing was that someone was now blocking my front door: the great detective Charlotte Holmes thought I was her one and only biographer and assistant. The criminal mastermind Mary Morstan was convinced I was her sole restraint and kindred spirit. The elusive phantom thief Arsene Robin considered me her most special audience and closest accomplice. The publisher's editor wanted to know why the hell I still hadn't turned in my manuscript.

"Why would you say something so selfish?"

"I'm just a novelist. Who I want to write about has nothing to do with you, right?"

"What do you mean, my writing is a Death Note? That was all a coincidence. I can explain..."

"What do you mean, you don't care?"

"What do you mean, all you care about is who's the heroine?"

"Let's talk about when I'm turning in my manuscript, then."

New Books That Looked Promising After a Sample

I try out pretty much every new book. If I find one that's good, I add it here. If it gets dropped or goes downhill later, I'll remove it.

Books with a Distinctive Writing Style

A collection of books I personally think are well-written and have a distinctive style. (From a reader who can't find good books anymore and can't stand how so many protagonists feel alike on Maoke.) One off-topic comment: I feel like a lot of books these days get really bad as soon as they get to the romance. Writing more words to describe it doesn't mean the scene is any good. Yuri in particular seems to be the worst offender these days (though maybe that's because I don't read much else). Si

Good Multi-Heroine Stories

The homepage recommends orange-themed lists every day, but I can't find a list of books with multiple female leads, so I have to make one myself. Only books with multiple female leads. No plagiarized stories, no harem power fantasies, no stories where the plot takes up so much space that the female leads become mere props, and no abandoned stories. P.S. I have nothing against orange-themed books; they're just not my thing.

Anime Crossover Reading List

A collection of books that are still updating. Ongoing updates... This list was last updated on 2026.11.8. P.S. I don't know why, but I can't find my other list, which had several thousand favorites, so I'm starting a new one.

It feels like writing about the Sherlock Holmes and Moriarty love triangle on MeowZone has become a recurring theme... Is that just my imagination? It seems like every month or two, someone writes their first book, and then another one finishes.

If you're here to see detectives with unparalleled intelligence who see through everything, professors with unparalleled intelligence who control everything, phantom thieves with unparalleled intelligence who manipulate everything, and Watson... Watson has a cheat code, and watch them unleash their intelligence in case after case, with twists and turns upon twists, then you can leave now. So far, there haven't actually been any tense or exciting battles of wits. So, if you're here to see a beautiful girl with long, straight black hair who looks at you with disdain and calls you a criminal trainee, yet insists you be her assistant; a blonde, wealthy loli who comes to bask in the sun every day like a cat, asking you to accompany her to buy books; someone who occasionally gets all puffed up and hisses; a newly debuted pink-haired phantom thief who declares they are the real challengers and insists you don't miss a single one of her performances; and a fourth mysterious female guest yet to appear—then hurry up and go in!

Does anyone know how much people on Hedgehog Cat (a Chinese online novel platform) typically earn by writing novels? It seems like they earn quite a lot from the tips they receive.

This book is indeed excellent. In Sherlock Holmes fanfiction where the characters are portrayed as female versions of Sherlock and Moses, the protagonist's true identity is often overshadowed, forcing them to use a hidden identity to counter this and gain a sense of control and satisfaction. This makes the protagonist overwhelmed with every story and also suppresses the charm of Sherlock and Moses, making the story prone to falling apart. This book, however, reduces the uniqueness of Sherlock and Moses, presenting them as girls with both traits, making them more human and less reliant on highlighting their talents. The protagonist isn't overshadowed in this romantic relationship; in fact, they are more proactive. Moreover, the "writing comes true" plot device, a kind of divine intervention, both advances the story and maintains the enjoyment. Most importantly, it eliminates the need for a hidden identity, thus avoiding the need to depict the relationship between the female lead and her hidden identity.

The author mentioned four female protagonists, right? Three have appeared so far. Based on my bold deduction, it seems the last one should be Mrs. Hudson. Are there any other theories?
