Charlotte's Mystery Casebook

An elderly man living alone writes his book, but no one reads it.

The author is currently participating in a three-month call for papers and has work commitments, so updates for this volume may be slower (although they've never been fast). As compensation, updates will resume for one to two months.

The author will resume updates next month. I apologize for keeping everyone waiting.

The author is currently busy with graduation thesis and defense, and will resume updates after this period. Hope readers will understand…

A truly perfect mystery light novel! Absolutely not to be missed! I usually read these books as a guest, but today I've created an account and am posting a review. Personally, I feel this book has elements of *Gosick*, but it successfully breaks free from the constraints of the Sherlock Holmes series in its clash with its setting (should I complain about how incredibly captivating the Sherlock Holmes series is?). Importantly, this book's setting isn't a direct copy of the Sherlock Holmes series—frankly, aside from both being set in London, they have virtually no similarities. Of course, it's also perfectly acceptable to read it as a Sherlock Holmes gender-swapped read. ...

This book is very well written. Not just in terms of writing style, but also in the author's attitude towards it. Only writing done with heart can resonate with readers. I can feel the emotions the author poured into this book. Several years have passed, and despite a busy academic schedule, the author has still managed to consistently update the book and actively interact with readers (although sometimes they're late, hahaha (￣y▽￣)~*smirking). That in itself is a miracle. From the initial volume to the current fifth volume, I can clearly feel the subtle changes in the author's writing style, and the characters have become increasingly vivid. This is especially evident in Charlotte. At first, she gave me a...

I apologize for the lack of updates during the Chinese New Year holiday. I've been busy all year and haven't had time to focus on this work. I'll resume updating the saved content during the holiday, averaging about one update per week. I hope you can understand.

The book's real title is *Charlody—The Miracle Flower*. *Charlody* is Charlotte's name, and also a variation of *Charlady* (the maid). As for why, please find out for yourself within the book!

With its British-style writing, elegant style, dynamic scene changes, familiar yet unfamiliar characters, and seemingly familiar yet completely different plot interactions and cases… it must be said that this book is among the best light novels in every aspect. Aside from the slow update schedule, its quality is guaranteed. The characterization of Charlotte, in particular, is practically perfect. Of course, the question of how many more volumes Watson will remain a staunchly straight man remains to be discussed, but I believe readers hope that the two protagonists can break free from the constraints left by Arthur Conan Doyle a century ago (after all, this book isn't set in an alien world…).

I've been following this book since the first chapter and I'm so touched that the author is still updating!
