   Highly recommended! A masterpiece! It's so good! I haven't read such a pure crime-solving story in a long time. It's rare to find a novel where the female lead, without a romantic partner, can understand animals. Every case is thrilling, keeping me on the edge of my seat. The plot is tight, and the plot device isn't overly overpowered. It's not just for show, but it's very engaging. The concept of talking to animals is particularly novel. The little monsters like Yue Sui, Tian Sui, and Chi Sui are all adorable and have well-developed personalities, each with their own unique traits. The protagonist has strong moral values, is intelligent, logically sound, and doesn't drag things out. He has a strong sense of family and country and a great love for his country. I hope it doesn't falter later on.

   The first book was super good, and the theme was quite novel. I wonder when the author will update the extra chapters.

There is a couple, but basically no romance. 🤣
