The Mender of the Era's Fractures

Hello everyone, I'm Chen, the author of "The Alchemist in High School Will Never Have a Harem." Oh, please don't criticize the title or pen name. As is customary, I received a book review from the author last time, which prompted me to read the work and share my thoughts. It won't be very long, so please bear with me. Please accept my first review. And I've also taken your first comment. In my personal opinion, this book is better than mine. It's a very pure mystery novel. There aren't any fancy settings; it's just a labyrinth of logic and people searching for the truth. The author, as expected of a science student, demonstrates rigorous logic...

My initial impression of this book can be summed up in two words: ordinary. However, as I read on, the story gradually drew me in. The only drawback is that it's a bit too tedious. This is a social commentary light novel, and I'm curious why the author didn't write it like a traditional detective light novel. Doing so would likely have attracted more readers. The author's writing style and source material are excellent, but the character descriptions and development are lacking. Judging from the content and the different titles, the author clearly put a lot of effort into this book, but even with all that effort, it's still just a wild idea...

First, a quick ad for "My Real Sister's Romantic Adventures": I hope everyone will check it out. Actually, switching accounts is quite a hassle, so I'll use this one to write book reviews. I spent two days reading this novel—no, I should say savoring it. Honestly, the novel is exceptionally well-written. The plot, the characters' personalities, the logic—in short, it's the work of a master. My own novels can't even reach a tenth of that level. Let's start with the plot. The first two volumes are somewhat bland, but they also have some twists and turns, making them enjoyable to read. The events revolve around the protagonist, who is remarkably similar to Conan? Each chapter reveals a few details, leaving a small cliffhanger to keep the reader wanting to continue...

The author isn't dead; they're currently on a certain platform.

The author really wants to see the next plot!

I think I saw the author's books on another app... But not these ones, that one was even signed.

My first trip to Shanghai was to learn German; I enrolled in a German language course there. This led to a two-month stay in the city. That time was too short. Shanghai is a huge and bustling city, and what I experienced during that time was only the tip of the iceberg. At that time, I thought that perhaps every corner of this city was filled with dramatic stories like those in novels. I sincerely hoped that Shanghai had legendary tales; I imagined it would be like London a hundred years ago, with its own Sherlock Holmes and Moriarty, or like Tokyo, filled with ghouls, Onmyoji, and all sorts of...

Overall, it's quite good, but there are a few shortcomings I personally think the author should consider. First, the initial detective duo's personality shifts too quickly, creating a strong sense of incongruity. The female detective, on the other hand, is... Well, a bit of a psychopath? Because she's a detective, she twists everything into conspiracy theories and engages in various disruptive behaviors. Also, detective stories should, in principle, provide readers with at least as much information as the detectives themselves; otherwise, readers can't use deduction to find the culprit beforehand, significantly impacting the reading experience.

Even two years later, it's still a fantastic story... Seriously, aren't you considering continuing to write it?

Hey bro. Look at my side of the box. (Howl)
