Synopsis

[British and American TV + on-screen comments + comedy + characters' mistaken assumptions + no romance in the main story + Sherlock]

[Complete, so read without worry]

(A quick warning to anyone considering this: this is a BBC Sherlock fanfic. The heroine is an office worker who survives by relying on on-screen comments, and she has no great abilities. The System is just a jerk. If that's not your thing, don't read it; cut your losses and leave. There's no need to waste time commenting to tell me it's badly written 👌 To clarify: there's no pairing or romance in the main story. The bonus chapters and little skits after certain chapters aren't related to the main story. If you don't ship them, don't read those parts. If you can't accept the bonus-chapter pairing, you can leave now. Writing is hard, so let's all be understanding.)

After transmigrating to Scotland Yard as a clerk, Lynn has only one wish: to live long enough to collect her pension.

But can someone explain why she can see [plot comments] from the real world floating in front of her?

At a crime scene, the comments spoil the plot, so she casually saves Lestrade from an untimely death. Unfortunately, this also draws the attention of the most troublesome man in all of London: Sherlock Holmes.

As comments float overhead saying, “Benedict Cumberbatch is figuring out what you had for breakfast,” Lynn just wants to run.

System warning: [Stay away from the main cast = 100% chance of death].

To stay alive, she is forced to become Sherlock's “human cheat code.”

Sherlock: “Eliminate the impossible, and whatever remains, however improbable, must be the truth. Lynn, what do you think?”

Lynn stares at the comments and reads them aloud in a flat voice: “I think the gardener is suspicious.”

Sherlock's eyes shine: “As expected, only you can keep up with my thinking.”

Lynn: “…”

Help, I'm really just reading the comments!

Any Original Stories? I’m Sick of These Same Old Popular Plots

Recommend some fresh, original fantasy novels. No mainstream tropes, no lousy rebirth stories, no urban novels where the protagonist shows off and bumps into a beauty around the corner, and no apocalyptic stories with superpowers or a System. Are there any fantasy novels outside those categories? Ideally, something with a fresh premise and theme.

Although it's not a romantic story, the interactions between the female lead and Sherlock are hilarious, even though it's probably quite frustrating from her perspective, haha. The plot made me feel very relaxed and happy while reading. Author, I'm hoping for some subtle sweetness! 😢😢

I personally think it's especially beautiful. 💕 The female lead, Lynn, isn't a true genius; she needs the help of the system and the comments section, but that actually makes her feel more real. She's slowly growing and gradually developing a sense of belonging. The bond between the three is just so wonderful! 🥺🤭 Also, the bullet comments are really great and fun.

The plot is quite interesting. The female lead can point out clues through the comments that even Sherlock Holmes sometimes doesn't know, and later, other viewers imagine her going from a retired top agent to a god with a godlike perspective? 🤔

For new readers, I'd like to mention that the author seems to get into a better flow as the story progresses, and the female lead's character also develops gradually. It's a typical story where you just have to get through the early stages. It's very good, author, keep it up! ⛽ ... ⛽⛽⛽⛽⛽⛽⛽⛽⛽⛽⛽⛽⛽⛽⛽⛽⛽⛽⛽⛽⛽⛽⛽⛽⛽⛽⛽⛽⛽⛽⛽⛽⛽⛽⛽⛽⛽, I was a little nervous at first, but with the new chapter coming out, the female lead suddenly became more presentable, and it was so satisfying.

I really like it... The main character is so cute! The comments section is also very active, and I especially love that the comments are on the same side as the main character, and they'll lend a hand when the main character needs it. I love that; such humane comments!

Well written, the theme is very novel! Now that the Dihua (Dihua) brand is mentioned, I'm no longer worried about the female lead being in danger or harm. I hope there won't be any romantic pairings later on, since Sherlock's personality is really awful. No forced pairings! It's already very interesting, and I hope the updates continue steadily. 🤭 Sigh 🤦

Honestly, it's an indescribable fondness. It has an absurd feeling of actually finding gold in history. I really, really, really love it! So please keep writing! I will watch it until the end!!!

So cute! Sherlock's imagination is spot on. Our Lynn is such a cowardly but actually quite shrewd guy, and Watson is such a reliable, normal person in this world, hahaha. Even though I haven't finished watching it yet, this CB is just adorable!

This is absolutely amazing! I never realized how enjoyable Dihua (a popular Chinese online literature platform) is. I was so engrossed that I stayed up until 4 AM without feeling sleepy. I've never read Sherlock Holmes before (I've only looked into it). The author's writing is incredibly delicate; even if you don't know the original stories, you can still read it.

Overall, it's alright. The female lead's boasting scenes are quite enjoyable, and the plot and character design are pretty good. The only downside is that Sherlock Holmes is somewhat out of character (OOC). The other characters are okay, and Watson is also good; it's just that Sherlock Holmes is too out of character. If you can accept that, you can give it a try...
