   The first book features two male protagonists, the second has no romantic pairing and can be read as a BL (Boys' Love) story. It consists of episodic cases (about ten chapters per case) plus a main, longer case. There's no system, no cheat codes, no overpowered abilities; it's plot-driven, fast-paced, and tightly paced. Crime-solving is the primary focus, with romance as a secondary element. It covers criminal investigation, forensic science, trace evidence examination (blood, footprints, ballistics, handwriting analysis, etc.), Criminal psychology (criminal cartography), and forensic autopsy. The main plot revolves around drug control.
