The Fog City Detective

Since the pinned introduction isn't visible, I'll go along with everyone else's suggestion. Let's talk about the downsides: First downside: The male lead is a complete weakling. If you can't accept a male lead with such poor fighting skills, you can leave now. Second downside: The dreaded single female lead. If you're looking for urban romance, you can leave now.

Please give this a thumbs up, everyone. Fifty points are enough for this chapter, but ten likes per point aren't enough.

Everyone, get your group water skills ready! 🤫

#Recommendation# This is a recommendation post, everyone should check out Xia's books! What is the charm of a good author? It's that no matter what book they write, no matter the subject matter, they always have a group of loyal fans following them. I regret not knowing about Xia's books sooner, and not joining this big group sooner.

I've already read two of the author's books, both detective stories: *The Thief Cop* and *The Foggy City Detective*. My simple assessment is that the author's plot and case design are superb, but the detailed descriptions are slightly lacking. After some thought, I realized this isn't a matter of writing ability; anyone can write detailed descriptions, it's just a matter of how well they're done.

#BookRecommendation# Here's a summary of the cases in *The Detective of the Foggy City*: I. The Manor Will Case (A First Try) II. The Lost Item Case (Falling into a Pit) III. Outsmarting the Pink King (First Display of Talent) IV. The Haunted House Battle (His First Encounter with Him) V. The Scouting Adventure (The Desperate Father in the Hospital) VI.

I was really enjoying it, and in my excitement, I was about to recharge 1000 yuan to get a cute character. But after entering my bank card PIN, I came to my senses and immediately regretted it. The page showed insufficient balance. Whew, I instantly breathed a sigh of relief. Thank goodness, I didn't have that 1000 yuan. Haha, hahaha, sob sob XX

I think Xia Xie is the best character-developing online novelist I've ever seen. *The Overturning Hand* tells how the protagonist develops his weakness from scratch. Because it's so gradual and natural, readers might not even notice or care until the foreshadowing is finally unraveled and the story explodes.

Having read two more of Xia's books, I'm increasingly convinced that Xia is the epitome of "satisfying read." Firstly, he precisely controls his strengths and the core elements that attract readers: intellectual battles, dialogue, and subtly inserted personal messages (laughs).

Why did the famous detective suddenly perish in a fire? Was he murdered by enemies or embroiled in a secret conflict? Why would a second-generation rich kid pretend to be mentally ill and go around catching ghosts? Is it a family conspiracy or is he playing dumb to deceive others with ulterior motives? Why do patients who die in hospitals mysteriously revive and then mysteriously disappear?
