Looking for books similar to The Psychological Crime Master. 1. If there's a romance, ideally one character should be on the side of good and the other on the side of evil. 2.

The 1990s criminal investigation setting is very well recreated. Without high-tech assistance, it relies entirely on interviews, investigations, and detailed deductions, making it exceptionally realistic. The rookie protagonist doesn't suddenly become invincible; instead, he grows gradually through meticulous observation and past life experiences, going from being questioned to gradually gaining…
The author's writing is sharp, the characters are extremely three-dimensional and vivid, the plot and concept are first-class, especially the interactive parts, which are full of highlights and very down-to-earth. The characters are intelligent and the story is very enjoyable. It deserves a good review!
The absence of unnecessary romantic subplots and the unwavering focus on solving the case is a huge plus! As a rookie police officer, the protagonist possesses both a raw inexperience and a maturity beyond his years, remaining calm and collected in the face of complex cases, meticulously searching for clues and piecing together the logic step by step.
The author writes so well! The case unfolds meticulously, without any outrageous plot devices or melodramatic twists. It's a great book. I hope it becomes a hit soon, and everyone should come and follow along!
The cases are getting more and more exciting, and the investigation process is becoming increasingly detailed, especially the case of Tang Xiaowu, which is being unraveled bit by bit. The main character is undoubtedly amazing, but the supporting characters are equally impressive. The limited number of romantic subplots is acceptable, and there are no major flaws.
The protagonist, a rookie, gradually gains experience under the guidance of a veteran detective, transitioning smoothly from assisting with odd jobs to handling cases independently. The plot is fast-paced, each case is engaging, and it gets better as it progresses, making it very compelling to keep reading.
I really enjoyed the retro crime thriller feel. There were no surveillance cameras or DNA tests; it was all about running around and thinking. The protagonist's advantage after being reborn was simply having more memories and experience from his previous life; solving cases still relied on solid reasoning, not mindless brute force. The cases progressed layer by layer, the suspense was well-built, the logic was clear, and it got more and more addictive as you watched.
I read three cases, and the writing style was rather vague. There was little professional detail about the investigation process. It only described how the case was discovered, clues were found, the suspects were arrested, and the investigation was completed. The more technical aspects were glossed over.
A rare find among period crime dramas that doesn't feel unrealistic! The 1994 setting is quite realistically recreated. There's no high-tech investigation; it relies entirely on interviews, investigations, and detailed deductions. Small clues like the pickle bag and the lighter are subtly placed. The interactions between the protagonist and his mentor and colleagues are also very lifelike, without any forced sentimentality.
The story gets really good after chapters seven and eight, with the plot progressing layer by layer. It's truly well-written!
