Now I finally understand why it got a 7 out of 10; honestly, I think it should be an 8.5. I'd give it a slightly higher score of four. The downside is that it drags on way too much, repeating unnecessary events over and over, making it hard not to suspect padding. Another point, while not exactly a flaw, but one that many might find unacceptable, is that the male and female leads are too ordinary.
Each case is logically clear and well-reasoned. Most importantly, the male protagonist is a very normal and upright person. He's not a greasy, jealous type; he's portrayed as honest and down-to-earth. There's no cold-blooded, aloof characterization. I believe that to reach a high position, one needs to be tactful and diplomatic, not just cold-faced.
It's good! Finally, I've found a historical detective novel that doesn't involve national or family feuds.
It's pretty good! The plot flows smoothly, the pacing of the cases is excellent, and the underlying stories are relatable without being forced sentimentality or preachy. The male and female leads are well-developed; the male lead is calm and upright, while the female lead is quick-witted and generous. The supporting characters also have their own distinct personalities.
This book, honestly, has tons of typos, and character names are constantly being copied and pasted. It was okay at first, but it got really annoying after a while, so I'd give up on it for a bit. But the plot is genuinely good; it doesn't treat the reader like an idiot. It has twists and turns, and it's mind-bending, much better than many crime novels.
It's pretty good. The female lead mainly serves as a hinter; the male lead handles most of the investigations. The plot doesn't feel drawn out; even if it does, it feels necessary. There's no unnecessary rambling or dragging on. Especially the male lead—he appears cold but is actually very straightforward. He's direct with the woman he likes, and he's serious when necessary.
I've been reading it for two days. Are you guys serious?! This book gets a 7+ rating?! Doesn't Tomato (the publisher) give it any publicity?! The very first case was incredibly thrilling. My reading time might have been a bit short, as I mostly listened to the audiobook. I even got a little scared listening to it late at night. But I'm fine during the day, so you can read it without worry.
Overall, it's very good. This is one of the few ancient suspense dramas I've ever watched that has a rather scary plot, and it's rare to find one that actually gives you a sense of immersion. The development of the relationship between the male and female leads is quite gradual; it's not love at first sight, nor is it an irrational, life-or-death love, which is quite good.
I've been reading a lot of forensic stories lately, with fewer focusing on trace evidence examination. This one is really good, the writing is witty, the male and female leads are likable, and the story is engaging. So far, there aren't any major flaws. Keep up the good work, author! 👍👍👍
The plot is quite good, but some dialogue is wordy and a bit tiring to read at times. The family relationships are very heartwarming, and there are also some funny moments. The writing style could be improved, and the author needs to be more careful. Even the female lead's name was written incorrectly... I did too... Also, I suggest the author avoid repeatedly explaining things unnecessarily.
