   A story with no cheat codes, no system, and a truly dedicated think tank—a rule-based mystery that's incredibly rare. The male lead is a high-IQ, super-straight man who helps his teammates get through levels, and he's very compatible with the American player. But for some reason, the author openly wrote about their pairing in the side stories, which made me less interested, haha. However, the mystery plot is still very rigorous, and readers can clearly see the male lead's thinking. It's not the kind of story where you just use clever tricks to get through levels. The story is fresh and unconventional. Highly recommended!
