   [Top Post] I highly recommend this book be adapted into a TV series! "The Devil Reversed" is the most tightly plotted and thought-provoking mystery novel I've ever read. I also admire the female protagonist's strong mind and intellect; she uses the darkest, most sinister reversed criminal thinking to protect the order she wants to protect, remaining clear-headed and unmoved by emotions. Furthermore, the second female lead is also very compelling; each character has their own distinct traits. After reading this book, I can only reflect on how human fates are similar yet different.

   Reader note

   The writing is very detailed. The protagonist's nature, influenced by the system, initially becomes extremely rational. Through this starting point, the various influences and complex cases are described, causing the protagonist's emotions to develop into extreme rationality mixed with excessive sentimentality, resulting in a chilling outburst. It's clear the protagonist is suppressing anger and rage, yet the description also suggests that extreme rationality is restraining their emotions. Other characters are also vividly portrayed, with consistent and skillful writing. I don't understand the specific techniques used, but as a reader, you can write your own reflection based on your feelings, because I know myself very well. In terms of plot, to be honest, I didn't expect this book to be so well-written from the beginning. Every plot point, every stage, and every development was somewhat unexpected. The protagonist's quirks, composure, and the abilities he wielded through the system, along with the helplessness, powerlessness, mistakes, and misunderstandings of other characters, made it seem as if these events were real cases. To be honest, I've seen similar cases described before—don't get me wrong, they exist in reality and in novels. I've seen similar cases described in other novels as well. But what's interesting is that each author has a different approach. How did this book make me feel? Honestly, it evoked stable, funny, satisfying, and touching emotions. To put it simply, the author's writing and plot are incredibly immersive. The immersion is perfect, allowing the reader to experience the corresponding emotions along with the story. This alone is enough to show that the book is of very high quality. Having read novels for a long time, I've learned that any work that can't affect the reader's emotions, regardless of the genre, is a failure. Works that leave the reader feeling numb and indifferent are also failures. It's regrettable to see flawed novels. To be honest, those works are unfinished. The authors have potential, but they lack certain skills and need further training and improvement. I also like to praise them, after all, they are on the road to success, not failures. They have only succeeded halfway, and the other half of the failure is simply due to their shortcomings. Once those are addressed, they will succeed. Okay, I digress. Let's talk about the book's setting. The world setting is similar to urban fiction, without any fantasy power system, but it's relatively close to reality, making it a fairly realistic setting. However, the protagonist has a system, is a so-called "little fresh meat" in the entertainment industry, and starts out on a forensic program. The system's presence is low; it only occasionally grants the protagonist some mischievous abilities. The protagonist possesses both entertainment star and forensic keywords, but not entirely. His rise to fame is mainly through forensic programs. It's clear from this book that the protagonist's celebrity path is very short, with a relatively low presence. The main plot focuses on forensic science. The character design is heavily influenced by the system. Before acquiring the system, it was known that the protagonist's emotions and main abilities weren't perfectly rational; this only began after obtaining the system. However, as other abilities were acquired, the protagonist also received enhancements in other areas. Emotionally, rationality became the primary focus. One could say that the passive skills granted by the system slightly influenced the protagonist, but the protagonist maintained control. Hmm, I seem to have said quite a bit, including a lot of rambling... Consider this my thoughts... Talking about this late at night shows I've been somewhat influenced by the work... In short, for me, this book is of excellent quality.

The cacophony of outside opinions is like "noise attack" to her, yet she can use her scalpel to dissect the truth on the autopsy table! The cases are so intense they'll send chills down your spine! A pregnant woman is murdered, her fetus mysteriously disappears, and everyone suspects a switcheroo. The noise in the meeting room nearly drives Mu Mian to the brink of collapse, but she suppresses her discomfort and distracts herself by doodling in her notebook. This contrast is brilliant! While others are still speculating wildly, she calmly analyzes with her professional knowledge: "Can an eight-month-old fetus be surgically removed earlier?" A single sentence pinpoints the core of the case. The novel perfectly blends the delicate sensitivity of an autistic person with the cold professionalism of a forensic pathologist. Every autopsy is a silent dialogue with the deceased, and every detail hides a twist. The "freak" in others' eyes is a "truth hunter" at the crime scene!

It does not arise because of one person's goodness, nor perish because of one person's evil. Good and evil are determined by people; rise and fall are determined by fate. The people of the world think they are fighting for money, power, or pride. Only in the end do they understand that they were fighting for nothing but illusion. The Dao knows no black or white.

    If you prefer classic IPs, you can prioritize "The Darker One" and "Psychological Crime"; if you're looking for hardcore mystery, "High IQ Crime: The Physics Teacher's Time-Space Trick" and "Torch" are more challenging; "Super IQ Crime" is suitable for readers who enjoy science fiction elements combined with intellectual battles. These works all revolve around "high-IQ games," with no formulaic plots, and are worth reading in depth.
