    The first book features two male protagonists, the second has no romantic pairing and can be read as a pure romance. 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 with strong characters. If you're open to crime investigation, you might want to check it out. The focus is on crime-solving, with romance as a secondary element. It avoids sensationalism and doesn't rely on depicting horrific victim suffering to grab attention. It covers criminal investigation reasoning, trace evidence examination (blood, footprints, ballistics, handwriting analysis, etc.), Criminal psychology (criminal cartography), and forensic autopsy content.
