I Became the Assistant to Holmes, a Sickly Love-Struck Blood Princess

I came back to visit after 26 years. It was one of the few novels that truly captivated me, but I never expected it to have such a terrible ending. The author has disappeared, and the group chat is also empty. Sigh, pineapple buns were so popular just a few years ago, I never imagined they'd become so run-down when I came back to visit. All the authors of the books in the library have disappeared. The story ended in regret, and the unfinished tale remains buried deep in my heart.

This book is one of the most perfectly paced and emotionally complete 1v1 novels I've ever read. I've only ever seen this kind of pacing in works by platinum-level authors like Tiancan Tudou and Jiang Nan. It grabbed my attention within three chapters, not to mention the author's meticulous attention to detail. Every sentence serves a purpose, like a Mohist mechanical weapon—precise and flawless, everything proceeding according to a pre-set plan without a single error. Furthermore, the novelty and audacity of its imagination are unprecedented. Can you imagine Sherlock Holmes being connected to Zhuge Liang? Alright, it's late, I'll stop here for now, and wait for the daylight...

The writing style is excellent, the prose is fluid, the plot is tight, and the words unfold in my mind like a telephoto lens. The two previous books on this app that gave me this feeling are both in the top ten of the SF Novel Network's popularity chart. This book is written at a steady pace, and its future success should be very high. The chapter titles are very evocative, the protagonist is, in some ways, very much like the original character, and the world-building is interesting enough. I hope it continues to be written. It would be truly heartbreaking if this book were to be abandoned.

I feel that most of Pineapple Bun's novels use very anime-style language, which makes them seem quite unserious. Traditional Japanese light novels don't actually use that many internet slang terms, and their writing style isn't that unserious. They don't just say whatever comes to mind; they leave appropriate pauses. I think this novel, by using serious language to write anime-style stories, avoids giving readers a sense of disjointedness and excessive chuunibyou (adolescent delusions of grandeur), while truly expressing the core of anime-style light novels.

If I let you stop writing like this, you probably will never update again. Even though urging you to update won't bring me anything, it's better than letting empty regret gnaw at my heart. So, author, don't stop updating. As long as you update, everything will be alright. Readers don't need to abandon the story. It's you, and it's us, who are longing for the ending of this story.

The first book I read when I first joined Pineapple Bun, but the author's time seems to have been frozen in early 2024... I can only hope everyone is doing well 🙏

Is it fate or destiny? I recently saw a video about yandere characters, and it suddenly reminded me of this book. Two years have passed, but I still can't forget this regret, so I had to come back and reread it.

Since around January 2024, when 🦀-sensei stopped updating, the history of Sherlock Holmes has undergone a dramatic change. We have forever lost a beautiful, white-haired, red-eyed, blood-princess detective—a yandere young lady. This is an immeasurable loss to the biodiversity of Sherlock Holmes.

I rejoiced in your story, so your discontinuation of updates is all the more heartbreaking.

I like the Sherlock Holmes and Watson you created, and I love the stories you write.
