Synopsis

With the college entrance exams over and nearly three months of vacation ahead, Lin Sen was thrilled to be free from the playtime restriction System. He happily decided to spend the next few months gaming to his heart’s content.

Then he happily climbed into his gaming pod.

But he was supposed to be playing a management and construction game, so why was there an affection system in it?

And most ridiculous of all, why were all the SSR employees in his Western game Japanese?

Bonus scene:

Lin Sen looked at the handsome long-haired man in front of him and asked:

“What, this game has a gacha system too? SSR employees are assigned at random? If I hire more prison guards, can I get a few more handsome cops?”

The long-haired officer hesitated: “Warden, um, don’t we have employee dorms or a cafeteria?”

Lin Sen: “Huh? I don’t remember checking the employee needs option. Maybe I’ll put a bed in the staff lounge and you can make do with that? As for the cafeteria... maybe you can eat with the prisoners?”

The long-haired officer: “...”

Lin Sen: “Aaaah! Which bastard blew up my prison? I’m going to kill him!”

The curly-haired officer and the cat-eyed officer: “Don’t get mad. We can just build it again. Just be careful not to accidentally kill them.”

Lin Sen: “I don’t want to hear it! I’m locking every last one of them in solitary!”

There are no romantic pairings, and the worlds do not merge. The members of the police academy group will all become the protagonist’s employees, standing out from the game’s built-in, brainless prison guard NPCs.

Because the NPCs are so stupid, the protagonist won’t realize that this world is real. He may occasionally get suspicious, but his brainless employees will quickly put those doubts to rest.

Time passes at different rates in the real world and the game world.

This is really interesting; this type is rare. Putting everything else aside, I'm very satisfied with the male lead's personality (just kidding!). He's quiet and well-behaved, yet has his own personality, can be mischievous, is unique, and even stops the Junior Detective League from running around in dangerous places—that's so cool! I really love his values. Author, keep up the good work! I hope the male lead has no romantic partner.

The story begins from a game perspective, with an unintentional redemption—is it coincidence or design? Everything seems unknown, yet the plot unfolds subtly and ingeniously, with each event intricately linked. The writing subtly grips the reader, leaving them eagerly anticipating the rest of the story. 💕💕💕 Keep up the good work, author!!!

Great, a very new Conan fanfiction theme. I wasn't really interested before, but it's appeared on my recommendation list so many times that I finally opened it and, hey, it's worth reading overall. Lin Sen's ability to log out of the game at any time is quite impressive. Although he seems silly in the game due to his lack of strategy, he's still relatively reliable.

The author writes wonderfully!! Having followed this far, every character is very well-developed, especially Mori Kobayashi! However, perhaps because the setting is a game prison, aside from Conan and Ran, the police academy students still seem somewhat distant from Mori.

They've caught up! It's a super good Detective Conan fanfic, especially the beginning, which had me laughing so hard. It gets a bit less silly after they get out of prison, but it's still very good. I love the imaginative premise.

I finally finished reading it! It was so good! I was initially planning to quit after reading a bit because I saw comments saying that the people in the scientific world didn't quite trust the protagonist. But since I couldn't find any other stories to read, I kept reading. In the end, I found it wasn't so bad; a little distrust was perfectly reasonable.

The characters stayed true to their roles, and the writing style was incredibly humorous and engaging, making it easy to finish the book before you knew it. I genuinely laughed from beginning to end; aside from the slightly bittersweet background of the main character, it was all very sweet. Not the overly rosy kind of sweetness, but rather a relaxed and enjoyable atmosphere permeated the entire text. I really loved it, author, keep it up! 💕💕

I've read it countless times. Whenever I'm looking for something to read, I pick it up and reread it. The first time I read it, I thought it was okay but not particularly amazing. However, the more I read it, the more I enjoyed it. It's pure sweetness without any angst, making it a very easy read. Although he's a player of the Fourth Calamity, he's quite friendly to allies.
