Novels I Enjoy
Books I like and have bought in full. I don't sort them much; I just add whatever I find. Feel free to take a look if you're interested. I'm a bit picky about what I read, and I only keep going if a book catches my eye. Sometimes I lose interest partway through.

Plot-Driven (Not for Beginners): Urban Fiction ④
The male and female leads shouldn't be too simplistic; they need to have their heads screwed on straight. The plot shouldn't be so predictable that you know the ending after the first few chapters, and it should have the occasional surprise. The writing shouldn't be full of formulaic exam-essay parallelisms or nonstop power-ups driven by impulse; it should have some substance. There are old and new books. The old ones are books I'd reread myself, while new books generally have at least 400,000 w

The author is likely relatively young, probably born around 1991, and knows a little about that era, but lacks many details, including common knowledge about that time. For example, the telephone and pager penetration rates weren't as high as described in the book. Also, phone calls were expensive; it wasn't as cheap as a penny, or you could just borrow a phone.
You're a newbie, and as a long-time reader, I have an obligation to remind you... The minimum requirement is 30,000 words per day, with an average of 50,000 words per day. If you want to achieve something, writing 100,000 words a day is essential. Yes, that's necessary. These are the experiences of long-time readers; others wouldn't easily share them.
It's good, but after watching one case, I didn't want to watch anymore! Criminal investigations in mainland China involve too much detail and various power struggles, with a single case spanning dozens of chapters, making the pace too slow! Why not write about American police officers? A few chapters per case, and whether the case is closed or not, it's just a matter of emptying the magazine!
Bad news: all contracts are settled! Good news: it's free for a limited time, damn it!
Having read up to chapter 172, where the protagonist Chen Bin tries to catch a thief who stole money for his sister using fingerprints, this everyday scene is poorly written. I know the author wants to popularize fingerprint knowledge, but don't you think there's a problem? If money is stolen in our daily lives, do we ever get it back?
This crime novel is so bland and uninspiring; it lacks any sense of anticipation and feels like a first-person narrative, relying entirely on the protagonist's imagination.
Good grass
Having finished reading it so far, I think it's a great read and highly recommend it! There's no silly plot or clichéd storyline! The logic is generally sound, and the villains are well-hidden!
Update soon, I've given you all 29 monthly tickets.
The crime-solving plot is a bit bland, lacking excitement. Everything about the protagonist is revealed through subtle characterization, and the supporting characters are just that—supporting characters. It lacks the twists and turns and the case-within-a-case feel of "Rebirth in '97," which had more vivid character development. However, "Rebirth in '97" dragged on too much.
I've only read the first few chapters, and something feels off. They discovered Cui was a prime suspect, yet they went to investigate on their own? They didn't report it to the criminal investigation team immediately. That doesn't make sense.
