[Ensemble cast, Western fantasy, slow burn, no System, a law student’s fever dream.]
With no golden finger and no System, overworked legal assistant Lu Zhi drops dead on the job. After transmigrating to another world, he barely manages to get a post as a guard, only to be accidentally drawn into a baffling missing-person case.
His days of lying flat are in peril, and the prospect of returning home is nowhere in sight. The deadline for solving the case is fast approaching, and the supernatural world it leads to is both alluring and dangerous: nobles with bloodlines passed down through generations, a church that commands miracles, crowns and scepters that monopolize the few paths to supernatural power, and a social order kept unchanged by power and violence. With nothing to his name, Colin can only rely on the legal knowledge he crammed the night before his exams to forge a third path to supernatural power through a thorn-filled wilderness.
“Everyone should study the law, or he’ll never learn to behave!” Colin declares, even as he faces a thousand cuts.
In short: The Law-Minded Sorcerer’s Supreme Throne.
Okay, I like it very much
