This is a pure detective (realistic) novel that I particularly love. There's no romance, no deliberately portrayed handsome men and beautiful women. Although the protagonist is Gu Xincheng according to the title, it actually portrays a realistic group of criminal investigators.
It's a great show. The cases are short and the plot doesn't drag. Most importantly, there's no romance (at least not after reading over 100 chapters)!
A very good book, a pure crime-solving story without any messy romance. The crime-solving process seems simple, but the logical reasoning is clear and the evidence is conclusive. Unlike some books, it doesn't go off on romance while solving a case. Most importantly, there is no individual heroism; everything is the result of everyone's joint efforts!
Wow, I finished it already! It's so sudden, I haven't had enough! This novel is so good, I haven't written such a long review in ages. This book is full of fast-paced cases, which is really to my taste. It's amazing that it has such a low rating; how could I finish a novel of over a million words so quickly?
This is a very realistic crime novel. Gu Xincheng is less of a protagonist and more of a portrait of the entire criminal investigation team. Amidst the tense case-solving, you can occasionally glimpse the vivid and unique personalities of each member. There's no romance to distract you; everyone is focused on solving the case.
I really enjoyed this book. I started reading it because there was no romance, but I found it to be really well-written. Every story was fast-paced, and I felt that each case involved a culprit who was both unexpected and plausible. Some of the murders might have been committed over something trivial, but the writing was still quite good. Thumbs up!
This book is quite well-written, so why are so few people reading it? The plot is concise, and there's no cloying romantic subplot between the male and female leads. I personally enjoy this type of book.
Personally, I thought it was pretty good. The story unfolds smoothly and doesn't drag on. There are no romantic subplots or artificially emphasized heroism by the male lead.
The plot unfolds logically, without glorifying or exaggerating the horror of the case. The investigation meticulously unravels the mystery, eliminating suspects from the initial most likely culprit to the final, seemingly impossible one. While a bit verbose, it feels very realistic. A highly recommended book!
No romantic subplot, no dragging, awesome!
