Finally found a novel different from the typical political fiction novels on the market! It would be even better if the wife had a past life story. These days, almost all the wives in novels have powerful backgrounds; it gets boring after a while. Keep it up!
The premise of a reincarnated protagonist using memories of his past life to solve crimes is quite good; I actually got hooked. The progression in his career is decent, but the romance is a bit lacking—the way he rejects advances makes him seem hypocritical. The money-making and investment aspects haven't even started yet, so there's still plenty to see.
A good book, highly recommended. The male protagonist is full of positive energy, and his portrayal of human relationships and interpersonal skills is very realistic. As for the female protagonist, as a good man who has stayed with him his whole life, bearing his children, yet never experiencing wealth and luxury, a loyal and devoted male protagonist shouldn't just share hardship.
It's quite good and realistic, without any exaggerated plot twists or deliberately contradictory elements. Thumbs up!
Overall, it's pretty good. The most important thing is that the protagonist's promotion is entirely within the public security system. It's not just about solving cases or switching tracks halfway through. Actually, this kind of promotion system is very difficult to write because the promotion paths are too narrow.
I'm deducting one star because of the bullying incident described in Chapter 145. Don't use today's school situation to speculate about schools 2000 years ago. Schools back then were completely different. I was a rural student who experienced that era firsthand, and I'll tell the author the truth: 1.
The case studies are well-presented, and the author's writing is also quite good. Despite not being an official within the system, the writing captures the essence of grassroots life within the system, making it very relatable. However, the upper-level narratives feel somewhat reminiscent of other online novels.
It's quite realistic and very detailed. Jushan's writing style has improved a lot, and his writing skills have also improved. Keep it up, keep it up, keep it up, keep it up! May each book be better than the last.
It's well-written, definitely a 9 out of 10. I was a little worried at first seeing the rating of just over 7. There are over 2000 comments, many praising its quality, but also many maliciously negative ones. Looking at them, there are quite a few blatant bashing, either accusing the protagonist of covering for someone else or saying he was stunned by a beautiful woman.
The writing is good. I hope the author keeps it up, makes the plot more realistic, and gradually increases the difficulty level. I also hope the characters become more well-developed. Keep it up!
