A friend recommended this book, and I initially had high expectations. However, after reading over thirty chapters, I felt increasingly disappointed. The sections involving Sherlock Holmes maintained a certain level of quality thanks to the details in the original Holmes stories, and the sections involving the cult simulator maintained a certain level of quality thanks to the cult simulator game…
Having never read a cult simulator before, and having finished chapter 39, I have to say this book feels very strange. The author seems to want the protagonist to be a crazy, thrill-seeking individual, but the portrayal doesn't quite capture that.
What esoteric religion? As a working-class person, all I care about is my company! Chairman!
The protagonist is a soldier (Blade), who becomes a private detective (Light) due to illness (Winter), and has a military doctor (Blade Heart) as a friend. All that's missing is a template to form the colonel and the lion craftsman.
To be honest, it's fine if the protagonist wants to build a harem, since he's already on good terms with Mary Morstan, and also with Clovis/Emma (her sister). He might even meet my personal favorite medium, Carter Carlow, later on, not to mention the female version of Sherlock Holmes who has always had a good impression of him.
Cult Simulator, start!
A promising future
I came here because of the esoteric cult fanfiction. I suspect that playing a game and recording the experience in writing would be even more captivating. In terms of character development, the protagonist's personality is consistently underdeveloped. He's consistently portrayed as bloodthirsty and ruthless, but this isn't reflected in many plot points.
This is my past, but I have changed now. These are my clothes; I've left them aside. This is my physical form, but it is merely a borrowed possession. This is my name, and it's nothing but an eyesore. This is the woodland, the place where we stifle the light. I was here, but I am no longer here.
There are some
It's well-written, but the gender-swapped Sherlock is really awful. Wouldn't it have been better to just write him as a muscular man? It feels so out of place. A rich girl, her family not telling her the truth, letting her roam around as a private detective—that's absurd. And the detective techniques the author couldn't replicate the real Sherlock's feel. If Sherlock wasn't written as a Sherlock, but as a muscular man fighting alongside the protagonist, that would have been so much better.
