What... this novel is amazing. Why are the ratings so poor on this site? This novel deserves at least 4 stars. On websites like Naver, Kakao, and Ridi, it's rated very highly with thousands of reviews. There's some bias going on here.

The novel is well-written, with clever and engaging side characters. The main character is very intelligent and makes full use of his abilities whenever possible. He isn't completely overpowered, and the power scaling is well balanced. The plot is also unique: the main character is a detective in Murim... more>> who solves various cases. It sounds boring, but it’s not. There are many epic moments where the main character outplays others. There’s never a dull moment because all the characters are intelligent and make the Murim world lively. The main character constantly works hard to solve more difficult cases and grow powerful enough to take on formidable enemies.

I recommend this novel to those who want to read about a smart main character who uses all his tools to grow stronger and outsmart other intelligent characters. He isn’t weak, but he also isn’t the most powerful, which is nice since it creates actual tension throughout. <<less
