Synopsis

Are you sure that the world you see is real? Traveling through the foggy city during the Industrial Revolution, what Lorne saw when he opened his eyes was not the prosperous era under the steam world. Weird forests, crazy whispers, strange monsters, and the non-existent true God. This is not the best of times, this is the worst of times. The world is divided into two completely different sides by "mystery". In such a world, Lorne first became a corpse. Facing a sacred notebook that seems to contain the secret of time travel. Fortunately, he awakened to the mysterious "bookstore" where he can view item information and continuously evolve its functions. Under the guidance of "mystery", he accidentally became the most dangerous profession in this strange era - a private detective. Cultists who abide by good intentions, Rippers who like women's clothing, witches who are keen on reform... As he got closer and closer to the mysterious world, he finally saw the god that everyone believed in in this era. Something weird... "Shh... Don't talk, they can't see."

It's pretty good. The plot alone is quite attractive.

Is it based on some elements of Tantric Buddhism, Silent Bookstore?

How to put it, like those "old-fashioned" western fantasy and steampunk, I like to set the protagonist as a detective, accepting and completing commissions (adventures); but this is really written as a detective article. Unlike the title, this "Goldfinger" bookstore is just a decoration, providing a place for the protagonist to view item information and his own character information. Specific things need to be brought into the "bookstore". I feel that the setting is a bit tasteless, and it has not reflected much of its role as a "bookstore". Is this house not a bookstore? It can also be a detective agency, or there can be a clue wall. Even if there is a golden finger, the protagonist is not in a hurry to use it, nor is he in a hurry to explore. Once he knows that there is an extraordinary world, he is not in a hurry to improve. At present, he is completely passive. Let's talk about the plot. This is a setting modeled after "Sherlock Holmes", but the protagonist is neither Holmes nor Watson, but a character similar to Watson. He is a person who shares a house with a detective. He is set up as an assistant. The plot only triggers the second case now. One case took a long time to unfold the plot, and so did the second one. This book should really be called "Detective in the Fog", omitting the bookstore at the end. The bookstore is of no use at all. It is just a detective story. The extraordinary setting is not very brilliant. Is it the same as a traditional detective story.
