   A seasoned bookworm's recommendation [Admiration][Admiration][Admiration] The first book is a fake dark comedy; the protagonist recites criminal law and fights while reciting it—it's hilarious!!! Others might think the protagonist is a big shot, casually throwing people into the river—it's laughable. The second book is genuinely dark; the plot is fast-paced and exciting, with decisive and ruthless action!!!
