Trainee Homicide Detective

So-so

Author, please update soon! This is the first novel I've ever read that's so good.

The plot lacks depth, with too much dialogue and insufficient detail in the cases; it reads like a diary entry. Instead of writing too many cases, it would have been better to carefully select and describe a few good ones. Even with the protagonist being a crime-solving genius, the cases feel solved far too easily.

Please update faster, I really like this book.

The protagonist is portrayed as too powerful and too successful. Every case he's involved in is solved. There's no case he can't catch or solve. Even a 40-year-old veteran detective captain can't solve a case, but he, a recent graduate and trainee police officer, can. It makes everyone else seem like fools, and only the protagonist is smart.

Overall, it's alright, but it's a bit like a diary entry—a bit bland and lacking in dramatic tension. Also, there's no direct evidence for things like the murder in the cornfield or the murder involving traditional Chinese medicine; it's all speculation and deduction. Then the suspect just lies. I don't believe that stubbornness alone could produce evidence. The prosecution probably wouldn't approve it.

The crime-solving plot was well-written, but the family drama was terrible.

It's pretty good, I like watching it.

The writing is fluent, the emotions are genuine, and the case is not deliberately mysterious. It has the feel of old-school Japanese classic mystery, making it a very comfortable read.

What's the point of brainpower? It's about first lowering your IQ to raise questions, then regaining your IQ to give answers. If other detectives were to leave clues everywhere like in novels, how would they ever solve a case?
