No going to the countryside, no going to the countryside, no going to the countryside. I'm saying it three times because it's important!!! Working in the city is great. Otherwise, so many people wouldn't refuse to go to the countryside and do hard labor. Preferably no CP. The male lead can have male and female friends, but not in the main story...
Crime Investigation! Crime Investigation! Please!!!
I absolutely love this kind of book. Romance or no romance is fine, but no romance is best.

It's well-written, with a tight plot that avoids melodrama. So far, there's no tedious romance. The character is decisive when faced with choices, and gets things done efficiently. He's courageous, resourceful, and skilled at interpersonal relationships—quite impressive for a crime drama. There are no annoying family squabbles.
It's quite good, I've been following it. It's about a person who is reborn and realistically plans his life, solves cases, and makes money. It's not the kind of fantasy story where there are no cheat codes or messy harems. It's a breath of fresh air in the male-oriented genre, which I like. I don't like harem/rich harem stories. There's a plot that drives the story, and the description of life after the reform and opening up is quite realistic, which makes it worth reading.
I read the whole book and the only word to describe it was "enjoyable". The main plot was very interesting, from factory worker to researcher. I didn't feel the ending was rushed; on the contrary, it was just right. Good works need to leave room for interpretation. I don't really like writing very long stories.
A good story. The beginning focuses on solving crimes. The protagonist's twenty years of imprisonment in his previous life made him a "criminal killer" in this life. What's remarkable is that he remains clear-headed and positive, constantly reflecting on the tragedy of his past life and truly putting into practice the saying that all hardships become one's wealth.
Author, was the male protagonist born from a stone?
Chen Qingfeng from the novel "Nine Thousand Murder Cases" appears in this book, with a different identity, and continues solving cases. It's quite interesting.
The language is fluent, the pacing is brisk and fast, the plot is engaging, the romance is not drawn out, and the detective work is fast-paced. It's an easy and enjoyable read, not tiring at all. I will continue to follow this book! However, the rating is relatively low; I hope the author can persevere and avoid a disappointing ending.
It's well-written. I'm particularly curious why the protagonist of this novel is also named Chen Qingfeng; I thought the previous novel had changed its name. Both are about reincarnation and crime-solving, but the crime-solving settings are completely different. Did several authors agree to write crime-solving stories featuring Chen Qingfeng? That would be so great for someone like me who prefers simple episodic crime-solving stories!
The pacing is good so far. Later on, should we consider making him a member of a patrol team to solve major cases? Right now, he's relying on his past memories, but later he can rely on his own abilities.
I'm often struggling to get into books, so it's quite good that I managed to read this one. I don't have high expectations; the writing and plot are decent. So far, it's a pure crime-solving reincarnation story with no system or eccentric characters. Although some of the crime-solving details feel coincidental and somewhat forced, it doesn't detract from the overall experience. [OK]
