[Multiple Heroines + Romantic Comedy + Light Novel + Galgame + Anime]
Shen Cheng stayed up all night finishing a romance mystery game where every choice led to a bad ending.
Furious, he ranted at the development team, only to open his eyes and find himself inside the game world.
The bad news was that he knew how it ended, but not who the culprit was or what had happened behind the scenes in stories that never appeared in the game.
The System gave him no world-defying combat abilities. All it left him with was an ignored detective agency and an identity that seemed hopelessly chuunibyou: detective.
To avoid getting caught up in the plot, Shen Cheng set a few rules for himself:
Take no cases, mind his own business, stay away from the heroines, leave school on time, and never work overtime.
But on his first day as a transfer student, a girl who was supposed to meet an unfortunate end sat right beside him.
Soon, one incident after another followed: secret photography, false accusations, disappearances, and lies. To hide how he always seemed to sense danger in advance, Shen Cheng had no choice but to grit his teeth and investigate.
But the more he investigated, the stranger things became.
“Detective, I’m counting on you again this time.”
“You say you won’t get involved, but don’t you always show up?”
“This time, you’re not going off on your own.”
Looking at how lively his agency had become, Shen Cheng fell into deep thought.
All he wanted was to quietly slack off.
Why did these troublesome girls keep trying to make him take cases?
A great book, and the author's writing has improved significantly. From the initial case where readers could understand who the thief was, to the later descriptions of the bank protagonist's logical thinking, and then the step-by-step mystery of the recording incident, readers really wanted to follow the protagonist's reasoning to find the real culprit.
Excessive verbal descriptions are generally considered taboo in novels, but this book is an exception. It's vividly written, with precise time management, truly giving the feeling of a detective story, rather than a romance novel disguised as a detective story (although it is a romance). Five stars.
The author's dialogue writing is quite good, the content is decent, and the detective's perspective is interesting; it's not a mindless story. However, I feel there are some issues with Chiharu's character development. Her attitude towards the male lead and others is too detached, and she always seems to take the male lead's actions for granted.
The plot and character development are good, but there are too many consecutive short dialogues and a significant amount of repetition, resulting in a fragmented rhythm, low information density, and a poor reading experience. I hope the author can improve on this. Overall, I still recommend it; good luck to the author!
It's pretty good, it has a light novel feel to it, and the pacing is decent, but there aren't many readers [what?]. Does nobody like light novels anymore? 🤔 The author updates very slowly, so there's just not enough to read. 😫😎😎
It has a light novel feel to it. The writing structure is complete, and the language is fluent and smooth. The writing style is quite good for Tomato Novels. However, as a detective novel, it focuses less on cases and more on the daily interactions between the characters. It shouldn't be read as a suspenseful detective novel.
Wow! This is the most enjoyable Japanese light novel romance I've read recently. The detective story is well-developed, and the characters are very vivid and appealing. The male lead is a bit stubborn at the beginning, but he gets much better later on. I really love it! Author, please keep updating! 😘😘😘😘
I'm not sure how to rate it, but the logic is very clear, and the writing is very smooth; it was a delightful read. The plot is also excellent. The minor plot points are seamlessly integrated into the mystery without affecting the overall experience; it's very reasonable. Truly a masterpiece! 🤦
The author's writing is good, and the story is decent, but there's a problem: the timeline regarding their ages might be set at 19 due to Tomato's choices, but the story actually takes place around the second year of high school, and there are some issues with the characters' age design.
Chapter 27 now... Well... I'm exhausted [petrified]. I guess everyone has different tastes. It's quite enjoyable if you don't think too much about it 😄, but if you take it seriously, there might be some flaws...? [What?] The reason I'm giving it four stars is: from the moment you started writing, you had already surpassed most people.
