I would like to say that this book is a good read.The writing quality of author is good there very very few errors and the ones that is there can be glossed over and doesn't leave an impact on readers.So far the story is developing pretty well, most authors usually rush during the early chapters but here it's well paced.The characters are well thought out, bot the usual 3rd rate villians and side characters. MC is also well written and some can relate to him. He is dense at the start but he is the process of development, author gave a good reason for this as well.The updates are good since it we getting quality work from author.As for world building, it is slow since the world changed and mc needs to explore but I will say it doesn't leave a bad taste.Overall if you read up till here then read up till chapter 57. Then decide whether you want to continue or not.
Honestly whenever I review a original on this site/app I usually start with stating how rare it is for me to read a original and let alone leave a review on one, and then go on a long rant about how most originals here are not good etc.Today I'll skip that to say that is truly one of the few great original novels on this site.I was recently craving some detective novels after I watched The Mentalist for the 4th time (only till the red john)So instead of buying a popular printed book I decided to find one on Novelupdateș. Com.There were fewCrazy DetectiveNetherworld investigatorGenius detectiveSuper detective on a fictional worldBut I didn't like the protagonist's of the first two. I wanted someone more like Sherlock Holmes or Patrick Jane from The Mentalist.The Genius detective is actually not badAnd then there's Super Detective. This I actually read all the available chapters on machine translation. Definitely not a detective story, well atleast not how you'd expect but a good Marvel fanfiction. Although first few chapters are pretty bad.Anyway during that time I came across"100 Ways to Solve a Murder"Honestly if it was any other time I would not have clicked on it at all. Because of how rarely I read originals.But it came to me just at the right time. Like it was fate.I had very low expectations and Although the reviews here did give me some hope.And I have to say those reviews are not wrong.It is a very good story. the author does take some inspiration from Sherlock Holmes for his character but really almost all detective shows or books are in some aspects.Just keep reading it.At first it might seem slowOr just some romance novel (even tho romance isn't bad either)I'm not a professional critique so I don't think I'll be able to give detail reviews why I like it. But I'll just say what I knowFirst the Grammar, which is very good, at least to me. I have a hard time immersing myself in originals here because of how many I find awkward sentences or wrong grammars. Here I had no problem at all.Second the characters. honestly if I hadn't read the story at all and someone described the male protagonists to me I'd probably wouldn't read the story at all. But here it fits and it works. I like the main characters.I rarely or even never read romance stories. But when I read only first chapters of the books which comes off more as a romance than a detective book I still read on. Mostly because of the characters.If I have too say, it is both a detective novel and a romance novel.Writing Style and Storytelling : I don't how to distinguish between bad and goodBut from what I have read I realy liked the style and I like the storytelling and that's all that matters.Anyway I would recommend giving this a try to everyone. It is definitely worth reading. I recommend reading the first volume (about 70 chapters? Before a review)
So, while the story is mostly enjoyable, I have been having trouble with the mindset of the MC. he was raised as an assassin. From 3 years old. While I don't know what a child assassin mindset would be like...I would assume he was trained to be patient, listen, be aware, take in information before acting, and would generally be colder and more indifferent to people. Unfortunately, while he has his moments of brilliance in planning and fighting, his overall attitude, intelligence, social perception, and thoughtfulness are equivalent to some of the worst Japanese isekai protagonist s I have ever read. In other words...he's dumber than a baked potato. Then there are the side characters...everyone has this laissez faire, forgetful attitude that makes it near impossible to treat all but a few of the characters with any sort of seriousness...no matter their importance or power level. That, and the translation quality make me rate this book lower than it could be.
I just really, really, really like this story. It's wholesome, kinda epic, has Slice of life, Sports, Music, Romance and everything I love to see. Besides, Birdie is best girl ever.
