This is the best police novel I've read on Tomato. Not every leader is a stunning beauty, and not all veteran police officers are incompetent except for the protagonist, who is the most capable. The male lead's character is very well-developed; he was already highly skilled in his profession before his rebirth, so he solves cases quickly.
This is an amazing read; the author's previous book was quite daring. It starts with a tense, high-stakes series of major cases, then the protagonist is transferred to a village where he learns how to interact with the people. He's then transferred to a department for a nationwide manhunt, reaching the climax of the plot, before being promoted to a high-ranking position.
The pacing is good. I love the female lead's boldness in love and hate; once you start reading, you're hooked. Later, when she thinks about things, she considers things from the male lead's perspective, showing concern and sympathy for him. The female lead's presence doesn't hinder the main storyline.
The details are incredibly realistic; almost every plot point has a real-life counterpart. This book essentially replicates the work and lives of frontline police officers. Of course, there are some exaggerations, otherwise no one would want to read it!
This isn't one of those traditional stories where the protagonist claims to be easygoing but is actually incredibly lazy. The protagonist is the "no desires, therefore invincible" type—he's assertive when necessary, diplomatic when appropriate, lazy when he can, and if he can't, he speedruns through the game and then tries to be lazy again. It's quite enjoyable to read.
A perfect score is a must! This is an excellent police fiction novel. The cases are grounded in reality, yet it's not just about cases all the time; it feels very realistic. Unlike other novels that start with some evil organization targeting the protagonist, or those that begin with a relentless pursuit of the killer of their parents, this is truly a breath of fresh air.
8.0/10. A hilarious portrayal of the daily life of a detective team. While some bloody scenes are briefly mentioned, the main focus is on the small-town life of those who are giving their all to get off work on time. It's fun! I'm not looking for genius crime-solving skills; I'm just looking for a protagonist who is clear-headed and can let go of things easily. As long as I don't want to improve, I'm the king of the world!
Out of 5 stars, I'd give this novel 4 stars for now. It's still a bit short; I'm afraid giving it a perfect score would make the author arrogant 🤭. The author seems to have worked within the system. The novel blends idealism and realism, with a grounded plot that's thought-provoking. Highly recommended, a rare gem! 👍
It's so good! I kept refreshing it every three minutes to catch up on the latest episodes, it's never enough!
So far, it's really well-written, and I hope it can maintain this level. The premise is promising, the writing is solid, and the plot is reasonable.
