It's pretty good, but there's too much emphasis on describing the male lead's cold eyes and icy voice. Everything else is fine. Has no one looked for the female lead since she left home so long?
I've read all the author's works, and the plot and the female lead's character are exactly my type. I'm very satisfied. The author's writing style is also very good, and there are foreshadowing elements. It's not too mind-bending; the foreshadowing is enough to guess who the murderer is.
I've read the first couple of minutes, and the plot of the novel is quite exciting so far. It starts with the female lead disguising herself as a man, then being discovered by the male lead and forced to delete her disguise to work. The female lead always wants to be a carefree, laid-back person, which is quite entertaining to read.
Author, didn't you say you'd definitely finish it? I've been following you since I started listening to Tomato Music, you absolutely have to update! I'm crying, who understands the feeling of being so satisfied with a story only to find it's been discontinued?! 🥺🥺🥺🥺🥺
The pacing is great, the plot is fantastic, the characters are likable, it's a very comfortable and enjoyable read. By the way, why is such a good novel rated so low? [What?] I really think it's excellent.
The characters are vividly portrayed, the plot is intricately woven and captivating, the story is highly suspenseful with twists and turns that make it incredibly engaging—you won't be able to put it down! It's perfect for someone like me who loves detective stories. Awesome! 🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰
This is so well-written! It feels like a whole ensemble drama series, perfect for a TV series or short drama. Everyone has their own shining qualities, and each episode has its own unique meaning. I absolutely love it! The only annoying thing is, why did I end up following another ongoing series? 🥺😫😫
Despite some minor bugs, the plot flowed smoothly, and none of the main characters were difficult to understand.
It has to end... It has to end... It has to end... It has to end...
It's really good! The ensemble cast is amazing! I feel like the male lead is quite pitiful, but he's also very capable. The female lead is really amazing, and the storyline is very clear! The foreshadowing is also very well done. It's not mind-bending, just start watching!
