The laws and regulations of the Republic of China era were designed for the poor, and the situation in the foreign concessions was even worse. In short, the protagonist of this book is a useless troublemaker who loves to show off, and he's surrounded by bad luck, bringing death wherever he goes.
The French Concession was a grand stage, and the era and location were highly anticipated. 😍
Actually, the author's choice of setting was poor. Detective stories could be set in modern times, where the legal system is sound, and even powerful figures can't suppress the truth once it's uncovered. But in the Republican era, for the wealthy and powerful, the truth itself isn't important; what matters is what kind of truth they want.
Updates are already slow, and you dare to be so lazy? How infuriating!
Just reading the synopsis is suspicious. Set in the Republic of China era, so chaotic, what's with this suspense and mystery? What are they trying to do besides develop and make money? World War II is just around the corner!
In Shanghai during that era, corrupt officials and businessmen were rampant, and people's lives were fragmented. It was very difficult to write a good story about a small character who survived in such a chaotic environment. Such a character had to be clever, insightful, resourceful, and have no bottom line.
Are there 270 more chapters? Is there anything to follow?
Well written. I recommend a similar new book, "My Detective Life in Southeast Asia".
