Taste-Tested Picks: Solid Reads and Hidden Gems
These are solid reads and top-tier picks I’ve found by testing the waters and reviewing them. Some are labors of love by their authors; others have settings and themes that personally caught my interest. They’re all good stories, at least while I was reading them. I hope the authors keep up the good work, and I hope you enjoy them too. P.S. New books have a higher chance of being abandoned during my trial read, so please bear with me.

Is the author writing novels out of pure interest? Before writing about American business, didn't you even consider what readers of this genre actually want? Stop rambling on about the business investigation bureau; it's endless. With the protagonist's wealth, he could easily arrange a meeting with high-ranking officials and no one would bother investigating him.
Advantages: 1. It has the feel of a traditional print novel. 2. At least up to the latest chapter, the protagonist's character design is still quite good. 3. It has a style reminiscent of European and American detective novels. There are many drawbacks, but none of them are major flaws; they are simply issues with the author's ability.
The Chinatown storyline is terrible. A white person treats the elite Chinese community in Chinatown better than their own parents, but cares more about ordinary, lower-class Chinese people than these elites do.
It has a bit of an American TV series feel to it; some of the disjointed or jumpy parts are like those in American TV shows—the editing isn't good, or the scriptwriters didn't handle them well. 😂

Well, the antagonist is portrayed as too powerful, creating a sense of helplessness. The protagonist has money, connections, and superpowers, yet he's still led by the nose by the villain. He's constantly being schemed against. If you have superpowers, why play mind games with the villain?
I've only read a few chapters, and it doesn't feel like a typical online novel. The protagonist transmigrates to another world, but instead of starting from his rise to power, the story begins more than ten years later when he has already become a big shot, which takes away a lot of the fun.
It's too stream-of-consciousness; a lot of content appears without explanation, and the jumps are tolerable. It has a certain physical style, but it's too messy. It might be better if it were polished. Another point is that the protagonist seems very cool, but why would someone ask him to be a detective? I don't understand, what's the point of being a detective? American capitalists are the coolest.
I can only say the author is brilliant with this writing style, but just look at the monthly votes—in the current online novel environment, a large portion of readers can't stand your novel. It's written for a minority; only a seasoned bookworm like me can finish it. If you want to make money, I suggest changing the style for your next book.
