    The first book features two male protagonists; the second has no romantic pairing. It consists of episodic cases (approximately ten chapters per case) plus a main, longer case. There's no system, no cheat codes, no overpowered abilities; it's plot-driven with strong characters working together. The focus is on solving cases, with romance as a secondary element. Cases are not perfunctory; they have complete chains of evidence and motives. It's not scare tactics, not sensationalist, and doesn't rely on depicting the victim's horrific state to grab attention. It involves criminal investigation reasoning, trace evidence examination (blood, footprints, ballistics, handwriting analysis, etc.), Criminal psychology (criminal cartography), and forensic autopsy content.
