[Journey to the West + Greek Gods + Mystery and Case-Solving + No System, No Cliches + Darker Themes, Not Recommended for Minors]
Jiang Liu graduated straight into unemployment, living in an era when classic novels were being radically rewritten.
In the rewritten Journey to the West, Zeus helps Sun Wukong defeat the Green Ox Spirit, while the Carp Spirit wields a Greek spear.
Only after joining the “Literary Archives Management Company” does he learn that all of this is the handiwork of Westerners who transmigrated into these stories.
His job is to enter the books and expose the “Number Zero Transmigrator” who is rewriting myths.
But what awaits him is a succession of bizarre murder scenes.
Any monster or immortal could be the killer, or the next victim.
From the “Chen Family Village Massacre” to the “Mysterious Death of Sai Taisui,” he solves riddles in search of the ultimate culprit.
(The mystery surrounding the Number Zero Transmigrator will continue for quite a while, but rest assured that the other murders along the way will be solved quickly.)
(You will share Jiang Liu’s perspective. He knows no more than you do, so the clues are fair: you can put yourself in the detective’s shoes and solve the cases, or simply enjoy watching the protagonist in action.)
(If you have any questions, I can answer them in the comments.)
(I won’t introduce too many mythological figures at once, so readers unfamiliar with Greek mythology or Journey to the West can enjoy the story too.)
(I’ll do my best to update quickly.)
