It's much better than most wish-fulfillment novels. Although the protagonist also has a cheat-like ability, at least there aren't any clichéd plots like being bullied, having a saintly side, pretending to be weak to take advantage, or forgiving the female lead. It simply uses the protagonist's halo to solve cases and handle various situations. It's truly the best wish-fulfillment novel I've read recently, or even the best one recommended on Douyin (TikTok).
When it comes to solving cases, it should be as close to real life as possible. There can be some superpowers, but they shouldn't be too exaggerated. There can be a female lead, and there can also be a female supporting character. After all, a good male lead will definitely be liked by the female supporting character. But the male lead shouldn't be too sentimental or engage in ambiguous relationships. A story needs to have life and love to be interesting.
I originally wanted to give it four and a half stars, but I don't know how to give half a star 🤦 so I'll just give it to you as a reward. Definitely a five-star review! The plot is exciting, it's pretty good. Keep up the good work, keep it up, and may good reviews keep coming! 🤔🤔🤔🤔🤔🤔
I'm totally hooked on this book; the author's writing is superb.
Here's a suggestion: For this type of mystery/crime novel, it's not necessary to include romance. It's not that the protagonist can't have love lives, but when the main plot is still developing, suddenly introducing romantic scenes or descriptions of women's sexy figures diminishes the suspense and mystery, making it feel more like an urban harem novel and breaking the immersion.
Please update soon! It's been a long time since I've seen a book like this. Keep it up, author! Don't give up! (Strongly recommend at least 5 chapters a day) Less than 200,000 words, and only two chapters a day! I thought it would be at least three chapters a day (๑˙ー˙๑) No fun~ Goodbye. I'm going to follow the one next door; they have at least three chapters a day, sometimes five or six. I'll read this book whenever I feel like it.
First book review The plot is very fast-paced. Halfway through, I kept wondering whether Yue Dong ended up with Lao Su or Chen Jiaying. They both seem like a good match. This is my first time following a serialized book, so author, please don't let it go astray later on. Keep it up! All I can say is, this book needs to be read in installments. Only 1-2 updates a day, it's so frustrating! 🤦 It's so good!
Unfortunately, I'm not very cultured, so all I can say is "Wow!" It's really good, I've been reading for 24 hours straight and I feel like I'm going to die from exhaustion. When will the author finish updating? Give me a hint so I can control my reading speed.
This is a fantastic book! I can't stress this enough. I hope the author writes more, ideally over three million words. The content is excellent, and I really love this unique style of crime-solving. I have a suggestion: I hope the author can introduce a spatial device. Since it involves cultivation elements, it wouldn't be surprising.
It's pretty good, easy to read. I finished all 207 chapters in one go. The story is fast-paced and engaging; it's a good book and worth reading. We'll see if the later chapters are interesting.
