Don't spend your whole life in the fields like us.” Zhao Linong did it.

   7.5/10. The beginning was great, but I laughed at the end. It's basically just plot twists and turns... The later part of the plot felt both reasonable and bizarre. But the beginning is really good, so I'll give it a higher score.

All he vaguely recalled was the strange left eye that kept him fed. When that eye saw a corpse, it could tell how the person had died and who the killer was, if there was one. Well, he could be a “Sherlock Holmes 2.0,” “Poirot’s godson,” or “Conan’s big brother”… Or he could just take the civil service exam and become a police officer.

   9.5/10, I love this! Aside from the somewhat complex setup and the initial confusing beginning, it's great. The male lead is a bit like Xi Ping from the other show, a very good character.

There is magic and there are guilds, adventures and heroes. But as a Taoist priest with zero magical affinity, an unusually distinctive name, no food or warmth, and no one by her side, she feels abandoned by the whole world.

    9/10. The pacing slowed down a bit in the middle, and there was too much commentary. But I liked the ending; the flaws don't detract from the overall quality. A very good read.

    9.5/10. I really like the female lead, and the plot is quite good, with a satisfying ending. There's basically no romance; it's more about camaraderie mixed with love. The only downside is that it's a bit long. (The synopsis by "Leg Bro" is really unrelated to the main story.)

Then one day, when he opened the door to his apartment, he found that the familiar hallway had turned into a long corridor. At either end of the corridor stood twelve identical iron doors.
