“Sometimes, secrets we can’t fathom crawl through the shadows of London.”

The protagonist finds herself trapped in a horror VR game that was set in 19th-century London, a city teeming with crime. She wakes up in the body of Jane Osmond, the assistant to the cynical and socially awkward genius detective, Liam Moore.

Her goal is simple: reach the game’s ending and return safely to the real world. However, as she and Liam unravel the mysteries of their cases, the game’s features gradually disappear, and the world, which should be mere data, feels disturbingly real.

“Who am I?”

To make matters worse, her memories of her real-life self start to fade, plunging Jane into shock.

Then, she realizes one more unsettling truth: the gray eyes of Liam Moore, who is supposed to be just an NPC, are always fixed solely on her.

I'm shocked that I'm seemingly the first review on this.

First off, kudos to the translators. You're doing great, not only are the translations clear but you've really captured the mood.

Where to start? I've read so many transmigration, reincarnation, world hopping stories that I was starting to feel like I would never find anything truly unique, but this series has revitalized me.

The elevator pitch for this series would have to be Sherlock Holmes meets Lovecraft but it's honestly much more than that. It doesn't just feel like a retread of old... more>> works, and the characters don't just feel like thinly veiled Sherlock and Watson (although they are a clear homage). There are some obvious similarities and parallels but they are still their own unique characters and their dynamic is really lovely.

The "romance" is both slow burn and fast paced at the same time. What I mean by this is that Jane and Liam have a very close and affectionate bond from early on, caring deeply for each other and performing a lot of casual skinship. While they haven't kissed, they give the feeling of an already married couple in how familiar they are with each other, as if they've known one another for ages.

The characters feel fleshed out and full of life. Jane is pragmatic, strong-willed and adaptable. She's honestly a bit of a bad-ass. She struggles with issues of morality and identity in a way that feels both thoughtful and realistic. She's practical and self-reliant but she doesn't feel like one of those characters who would step on someone else out of supposed self-preservation. She's a good person even if she doesn't think of herself as such.

Liam is seen as a bit of a cold-hearted brat by others but is infinitely warm and soft towards Jane. It's refreshing to see a male lead who is so emotionally vulnerable and generous with a whole series of quirks. He actually feels like a person rather than an archetype.

As for the plot, the story arcs whiz past but they are jam-packed and still feel incredibly impactful for how short they are. Each new side character introduced is unique and a fun addition, the world building is fascinating, the horror and mystery is tantalizing. I'm very much looking forward to where the rest of this adventure will take me and I recommend others to check out this gem. <<less

Absolutely DEVOURED this series in 1.5 days. Yes I pulled an all nighters for this. It has everything I want in a romance fantasy story that includes lots of action and lore (that it can be kind of crazy).

it's a Sherlock Holmes meets Lovecraftian horror. You can tell A LOT of research went into the locations of London, with very detailed descriptions and street names. Also the style of writing (especially at the start) is a lot like those mystery stories set in Victorian era. But don't get tricked because... more>> this is NOT your average mystery story.

Main characters are fun but my favourite is definitely the FL because she genuinely feels so relatable. Her comments and monologues are also very funny and you just can't help but cheer her on when she succeeds or cry with her when you watch her break down. And yes, she has several identity crisis at the start and in the middle of the story which I feel is SO RARE when it comes to isekai stories in rofan. <<less

Ladies and Gentlemen, this novel is a hidden gem of the ages. I never expected the turn and atmosphere of this novel. I love it all, the plot, the mystery, the refreshing romance, and the horror. Not to mention the EXCELLENT translation. This is like horror Sherlock Holmes meets fantasy Manhwa. The characters are clever, mysterious, and most importantly alive. I am entranced by the complexities of our FL in her sense of self and journey. I implore you to read this novel, you won’t regret it!

THIS IS SOOOOOOO UNDERRATED BRO ISTG. It's so rare to find a transmigration k-novel with ACTUAL horror/mystery.

Everything about this story amazing?!?! The FL and the ML is smart asf, and their dynamic are so hot. The story is a constant ride of rollercoaster of depression and cuteness overload but all I gotta say is that it's sooo worth it, totally recommended!

Given that this novel won an award in its country of origin, you should know that it's pretty good! This is a horror/romance/fantasy that is super fun to read. I don't know if I'm a bit numb to horror in general but the horror in the novel wasn't very scary imo, I feel like the focus of the novel really isn't so much about being scary but rather, it focuses more on developing the characters and their relationships if that makes sense.

The romance is very satisfying! The author spends a... more>> lot of time fleshing out their interactions and how they see each other which makes it so heartwarming and believable.

Mild spoiler about ML:

Spoiler

When I read the blurb, I thought the male lead would be the smart and solemn type, but he's actually adorable!!!

He's clingy, he's pouty, and so so cute! My gosh, I wish there would be more novels with this kind of male lead.

[collapse]

Now, while the other reviewers mention that it's a mix of Cthulhu/Lovecraftian horror and Sherlock Holmes, I would note that the Lovecraftian horror isn't exactly like pure Lovecraftian horror.
Spoiler

At some point in the novel, it really gets a more fantasy/magical world feeling, like Harry Potter. The FL even says something like, "I thought this was horror but now it's fantasy???".

[collapse]

Weak point of the novel?

Spoiler

Overall, everything is good, but I think the biggest weak point of this novel is that there was a bit too much to fit into such a short novel. If this novel were somewhat longer, maybe 100~200 chapters more, and there was more time spent on building the plot and side characters, I think it would really be a lot smoother and poignant.

[collapse]

All in all, awesome novel, and it's perfect for binging! <<less
