I’m a Phantom Thief But I Faked A Marriage With An Investigator

“Everything that sparkles is mine.”

It’s been 10 years since I took on the role of Gemma, a jewel-stealing thief in a game with extreme difficulty.

Today, I was doing the stealing that the system told me to do to avoid a bad ending…

“Gotcha.”

“Huh?”

I was caught by Inspector Raven Hunt, the investigator who was persistently pursuing me.

[Enter the bad ending route.]

‘System! Give me one more chance!’

However, it was not the system that gave me a chance to live, but the enemy.

“You choose. Prison or marriage?”

* * *

My fake marriage to the man who arrested me…

“We’re divorcing as soon as we get that damn ruby back.”

“I’m already looking forward to that day.”

We are just together to find the missing ruby…

“Our child. The responsibility is mine and yours together. So don’t think about running away again.”

The man who seemed to be disgusted by the idea of having fur on him raised my cat with me.

“The only jewel I want is my wife Gemma.”

He began to say things that made my heart flutter.

“Raven, if you do this, I will report you.”

“Marriage registration.”

I… Maybe I didn’t steal the jewels I was told to steal, but I stole this man’s heart?

A fun read, author actually made use of the Clark Kent disguise method and its hilariously well done.

... more>>
Spoiler

MC is a phantom thief who by daytime works as an assistant in the officer of the police that are chasing her. And not a soul suspects anything because the dorky girl obviously cant be the femme fatale thief skippin around town. She happily plays sneaky tricks to ensure her ongoing freedom

[collapse]

But even more surprising, the male lead actually has brains, he actually does great work as a detective which serves to give MC all kinds of fun trouble and cold sweat. In spite of her actually being good at what she does.

At this point I reached a big thing happened and I am curious as to how it will play out😁 <<less

I finished reading this novel in, I think 7 days?

It's enjoyable despite all the flaws.

The main characters interaction is fine, romance is good, sometime cheesy sometime plain sweet, but I mean, that's love, innit?

... more>> There's no love rivalry or that kinda crap.

Female lead often felt pathetic, but I can sympathise with her. She's wise, but sometimes dumb. She's also sympathetic and kind-hearted. She's a bit arrogant and sometime annoying, but it's within her "Gemma" character design (I mean, the game character)

Male lead often felt pathetic, too, unfortunately I couldn't sympathise with him. Like, he often blamed himself for something he's not guilty of, and he's quite harsh towards other, probably because he is also hard towards himself. He hates criminal as much as he hates himself, but he doesn't hate criminals who can be reformed.

He is quite cold-blooded at times, but ultimately good. He can readily kill armed criminals without remorse, though, he would never hurt non-violent criminals (he didn't even punched or retaliate against Gemma when he got kicked by her). He's also righteous, not self-righteous, and would often put himself in danger in pursuit of justice.

The conflict, tho, isn't very good. I half-expected this to have a mystery genre or police drama sprinkled in, but there's neither mystery nor police drama. It's a damn shame....

Light spoiler about ending:

Spoiler

The ending arc and the ending itself isn't very satisfying, but I can't complain much. I just hoped for the world to be another world, but in the end, it's really just a game....

MC decided to live within the game, which is fine. However, I hoped for, at least, an explanation about what really happened.

Unfortunately, here's zero explanation of what happens to her in real life. Like, real zero explanation. Even how she got her consciousness inside the game wasn't explained properly. What if she died IRL, what if she died in game, what if...? There's a lot of what ifs.

All in all, it's not a very good ending. Happy ending, yeah, but a sloppy one.

This has been a great read so far. 19 chapters in and I'm excited to see where this goes.

A few small things which stand out to me so far:

  1. The setting is unique for this type of story, think the lighted-hearted and larger-than-life elements of Lupin crossed with a Phantom-Thiefy Isekai story and light game mechanics sprinkled on top
  2. The protagonist has the odds against her, but she's cunning and a bit of a planner
  3. The ML is a brilliant detective. There is a moment in C13 where he shows deductive powers on par with some of the best fictional detectives.

Absolutely loving this story, whenever I check my updates I scan to see if this one is there so I can read it first!

It's an Urban Period Fantasy story that also uses the Isekai framing of being s**ked into a video game. You'd think thats too much going on at once, but the world building flows so naturally it's easy to grasp. I love the personality of the Female Lead, a woman who just wants to have an easy, normal life with her cats but gets suckered into acting like... more>> a femme fatal thief. Her choice in a day job is brilliant, but also ridiculous enough it makes you realize she's not as normal as she thinks she is.

The Male Lead hasn't been overly featured yet, but his professionalism and sharp thinking is something I immensely enjoy already.

If you enjoy Isekai and Villainess romances, but have been getting tired of the Medieval Fantasy setting, this is a perfect read. <<less

Damn this is one of the most engaging MC and ML development I've ever read here in novel update. They have such a fun dynamic, whatever your first thought was when you saw the cover, it's exactly that and more. My only regret is that it doesn't have more translated chapters.

The novel is nice refreshing to read.

FL is smart, cute and sometimes cunning. I find her inner monologue funny. She uses situation for her advantage as its a given as she sees it as a game but she's very naive to emotions I would say. Despite playing everything as a game she's kind-hearted and warm. The game character gemma adds charm of arrogance in her.

ML is handsome, cute, rich straightforward and very down to his self claimed morals. He never wanted to hurt any criminals who doesn't hurt others or... more>> unharmed. He's not a very powered character but ruthless to actual criminals and he's very quick witted. I like him for his witty nature.

Spoiler

ML is the lost son of hunt family the youngest master.

He was kidnapped by some mafia gang and there he was bullied and harrased and forced to kill others. He was asked to kill dorris hunt as he doesn't know he was his son

[collapse]

Story is nice somewhat giving sherlock vibes in start but that's it then it takes a complete rofan turn.

I like the author use of DC characters naming sense and overall European ambience vibes. <<less

I still am obsessed with kaito kid so this made me soooo happy seeing a story about a phantom thief. So far its okay, it hurt me since she got caught so quick because I expected a thief who is un-catchable yaknow? I guess I was expecting too much. Dont blame me, blame Kaito Kuroba 😔😔

It's fine? The idea is very fun and the dynamic of the FL and ML are enjoyable, however one thing bugs me a lot. Even though I really like Gemma's personality, there hasn't been anything substantial to prove her ability. Yes, off screen she's a super famous thief, but on screen she just feels mostly like a bumbling idiot. I think she deserves more care than currently. From the first few chapters to now she never gets a W. I guess what I want to say is that I love... more>> the character, but I was hugely disappointed seeing the typical 'ML walks up, FL tamed, ret*rded and submissive from now on' switch being flipped. Anyway, can't wait to see what happens next. <<less
