A Certain High Schooler's Detective Diary

Includes the police academy group, everyone gets saved

Important warnings up front. I'm sensitive and afraid of getting yelled at, so let me cover myself first:

1. [No CP. The genuine villain doesn't get whitewashed, but may get some special treatment (if that even counts as special treatment (?))]

2. [This kid is not a good person and has a low moral compass. Readers who read novels to earn good karma, please don't run headlong into the danger zone. If you insult me, I'll insult you back (sort of).]

3. [This is my first novel. I'm trying to cook up something for myself, so there may be logic problems and amateurish writing. The longest thing I've ever written in my short life was an 800-character essay for the college entrance exam. I've never even written a short fanfic, so my writing ability is limited (bows). If anything makes you angry, please close this page immediately and come to the blurb for a sincere apology: Hontoni sumimasen! (loudly)]

4. [I'm genuinely afraid of failing to write childhood friends well, so here's a warning: there are freely interpretable Rei x Zero and Hagi x Matsuda pairings. They're not a couple and there are no confessions, but I don't know how childhood friends act around each other. I'm afraid I might make it a little too gay for some readers, so I'm warning you off in advance... Aaah... If it doesn't feel gay to you, just treat it as a regular no-CP story (please).

Mostly, I'm afraid of getting yelled at.

Anyway, if you can accept those two pairings, you can also read this as a completely no-CP story (bows).]

Important: Pay close attention!

5. [This novel contains forum posts.]

6. [This novel features a System, but it's not a typical one.]

7. [Contains a little dark humor.]

8. [OOC warning.]

9. [I have a bit of a chuunibyou streak (at least when I wrote the outline for this novel).]

10. [My procrastination is terminal. If you know a cure, please tell me in the comments (sincerely).]

11. Updates usually come when I'm out of reading material. My cafeteria's roof is half-collapsed, so for now I update every other day. Sometimes things come up and I go a day or two without updating, so don't wait around for new chapters. My sleep schedule is also cursed.

12. [A mountain of original headcanons ahead.]

Imori Yoshimi, formerly Lin Jiami, was an ordinary, miserable Chinese high school senior who'd been back in school for two weeks. She got hooked on anime and manga after watching Detective Conan once in middle school, and became an ordinary shut-in.

Her current situation: she stayed up late in her dorm reading manga, then went to sleep, and transmigrated in the most ordinary way possible.

[Why wasn't it reincarnation by truck? Is it because those reincarnation-assistance products aren't allowed on a fully residential school campus?]

The brown-haired little girl, shrunk from seventeen to eleven, sat in an unfamiliar room and thought this to herself.

*

Good news: the System has brought her into the world of Detective Conan. For a fan girl, transmigrating into an anime world is like a mouse finding a rice jar.

Bad news: she's on the villain's side from the start in a kids' show, and her fate is sealed.

The little girl, suddenly codenamed Marsala, calmly lowered her head and typed into the support System's chat window: "Buddy, if I die, can you Systems take some responsibility?"

The support System on the other side of the screen replied coldly, "Dear user, I'm just a customer service agent and manga forum relay."

After a happy year of cuddling with Ai-chan, Marsala returned to Japan to visit her other fictional crushes, only to realize something even worse:

The remade version of the Detective Conan manga she'd transmigrated into seemed a little off.

Oh, for God's sake. Why are the good guys making such a damn fuss? How do they seem more like they've read the script than she has?

I'm talking about you five cops!

Rei Furuya, you undercover agent! If you keep making a big show of tearing down the Organization's bases, she'll report you to Renya Karasuma for filing fraudulent expenses, got that?!

Hehe, trying to get through review for the ninth time.

Sixth revision: April 11, 2023. Why does this blurb keep getting sent for review every few days? (Extremely annoyed)
