Ideally, the protagonist should take a leadership role, but shouldn't be overly glorified. The story should be reasonably grounded, with no forced, specious arguments. Thanks.
Recommend Some Good Books with Basic Common Sense
No school or academy settings, school beauties, goddesses, empresses, harems, male-male pairings, saintly heroines, teams where one person drags along several deadweights, or characters who act less than human and look for someone to own them.
Can Crime Investigation Stories Start Differently for Once?
In nine out of ten crime investigation novels, the opening has the female lead being told to file a report and leave the team. It’s so off-putting. They don’t even consider her abilities; they see a woman and immediately reject her. How shallow do you have to be to become a team captain? Why not think about why she was assigned to your team? What’s there to like about a man like that?

I've watched two parts and they're really good. I hope they get adapted into a TV series. They're really great! Also, if there's to be a couple, I'd prefer Ma Jiye, haha. Mainly because he's a nice guy and he's henpecked.
I really enjoyed Ningning's story. Traditional crime fiction from the last century is rare these days, especially from a female protagonist's perspective. The author's plot is excellent, and I hope they write more stories like this. I've read the previous book, but it had a lot of male characters staring at the female protagonist's appearance, and she often had a condescending air about her…
It's quite good. I finished listening to the first part. I had read the beginning of the novel before, but I didn't expect the later plot to be even more exciting. The audiobook is also good. To be honest, the quality of the characters pursuing the female lead is really just average.
It's both a social realism and a classic mystery, combining Agatha Christie-esque domestic drama with Sherlock Holmes-esque evidence-gathering skills. The detective team feels real, not just props or robots. Most importantly, it authentically portrays the unique atmosphere and customs of a small town in the 1980s, making it perfectly suitable as a period novel. It would also make a great film or television adaptation.
I've read 70% of the chapters in the second part of the first book, and the cases are all well-written. Our Guo Ning is an exceptionally capable detective—highly skilled, cheerful, cheerful, emotionally intelligent, warm, friendly, and charismatic, etc. However, I'm starting to consider dropping the story. Ever since Dr. Liang appeared, I haven't really wanted to read it anymore.
The first season was absolutely amazing! I especially loved Guo Ning!!! A sequel is so wonderful!!! 🥰
The second season is still of high quality, and Chen Guoning is still the same energetic and charismatic character. Thank you so much for making a second season; it's just not enough!!!
The story is good, but after Liang Zhirou appeared, Ningning felt like in typical romance novels where the female lead automatically takes away the male lead's spotlight upon his arrival. It's not that it's bad; the story has been quite engaging since the first season. It's just that I personally don't really like this character and story (everyone is different, and I still enjoy every story).
I read the first book three times, and I never expected to see a sequel. It maintains the strengths and quality of the first book and is definitely worth continuing.
Putting aside emotions, the plot is extremely good, the case twists are brilliant, and Ningning is a wonderful character—smart, decisive, and with her own ideas. However, I absolutely, positively dislike the unexpected couple that appears after chapter 425. If you're bothered by unexpected couples, you can skip this part. Honestly, if I considered them, I would give it one star.
