   I still really love this book... It was the first non-romance novel I secretly read in my dorm during high school! I love the world-building, the family and friendships between the main characters and others. The supporting characters are also very well-developed...

An entity calling itself the Undercover System offered him a chance to come back to life. How long he could live depended on how much trust he could earn from key figures in the new world. What kind of world? A death-obsessed little detective versus a distillery? Got it! It's all just a bunch of tropes!

   These are spin-offs without any romantic pairings. Although Detective Conan has fallen apart, I still miss a few of the spin-offs... I love reading silly posts from people with pseudonyms; they're perfect for entertainment.

   It's also a spin-off, with tight logic, an interesting plot, and exceptionally well-developed characters. My favorite crossover novel from the British and American genres I've read so far. It's a book I can reread repeatedly.

   I just finished reading it. The author clearly put a lot of thought into the character and world-building. I'd give the setting a 9 out of 10, the plot an 8, and the characters are quite well-developed. Overall, it was a very good read, definitely worth the money.

   Similar to another book by the same author, "Reason," this is a lighthearted romance novel with a comfortable and engaging storyline, even without a romantic pairing.

   Curator note

   This isn't a story without romance, but since the romance aspect is minimal (and it's still platonic), I included it. It was very enjoyable to read; the protagonist is very powerful, and even with the romance, it's within my acceptable range. Seeing everyone captivated by my sister's charisma made me feel at ease. However, I don't know why the pacing felt very fast when I reread it. Perhaps it's because I was following a serialized story, so it wasn't as enjoyable when I binge-read it later?

   I haven't finished reading it yet. I put it off for a while because of my studies. I heard the ending is quite tragic? But I can accept it, because the overall tone is rather gloomy.

    I read this book a long time ago; it was one of my first books on this genre. I still remember the time the female protagonist spent living with her grandmother and the little girl.

    For some, the idea of ​​a woman dressed as a man might be off-putting. It's a rather lighthearted and enjoyable story, but I quite like it. Suitable as casual reading.

    Although it's labeled as a romance, I thoroughly enjoyed reading it. The female lead treats everyone like NPCs in a game. The author supposedly has some scandalous gossip, but it hadn't surfaced when I read it, so I'm including it here anyway. The female lead's shady dealings and killing sprees are very satisfying, so it's not suitable for those with high expectations of the female lead's morality.

The protagonist doesn’t steal the spotlight from other characters. They have a nasty personality, a sharp tongue, and a scheming streak. If you like protagonists who are sunny, cute, kind, cheerful, gentle, considerate, and captivating, the kind of person who’s someone’s light, or if you’re looking for goofy antics, showing off, healing, melodrama, and the like, please read with caution.

    It's a male protagonist novel. I like it because the protagonist is very well-developed and his emotions are layered. I like both of this author's previous Sherlock Holmes books and this one.

    This is a novel with two male leads and no romantic pairing. However, the female supporting characters are really great; I especially like this book (because in novels with two male leads, the female characters usually have a weaker presence, but this book handles this issue very well in my opinion).
