domestic violence, s*xual assault, child abuse, mu*der, p*dophilia etc etc etc

just because this is a supernatural novel DOESN'T f*ckIN MEAN IT DOESN'T HAVE TO MAKE SENSE. Tell me why there are so many obviously dumb and or evil characters with ABSOLUTELY NO DIMENSIONS whatsoever?? TELL ME WHY THE GOVERNMENT IS ALLOWED TO mu*der PEOPLE (they pretty much willingly allowed that girl to get stronger at the expense of all the ppl she killed and will kill - that's what I mean by that statement) TO CREATE HUMAN WEAPONS. (Let me define "mean sense" for you, I mean THE AUTHOR DIDNT EVEN EXPLAIN THIS TO THE READER!!! MAKE IT MAKE SENSE TO ME!! I need to be guided there not hit with a sledgehammer and be told ya "that's just a sledgehammer that exists now. Why? Who cares" Well no sh*t mf) TELL WHY THE IF THE MC KNOWS THE PRESENT PAST AND FUTURE HE STILL CANT SEE EVERYTHING COMING??? Do not tell me one thing and ignore it at your convenience at certain times. This reads like a superhero cartoon comic. It doesn't make sense. But the problem is that this is not placed in an alternate world bc it was OBVIOUSLY WRITTEN to be in the modern day at the moment supernatural events start to become public. SO DONT MAKE RANDOM DECISIONS THAT WOULDN'T MAKE SENSE OUT OF NO WHER when you tell me something else has to make sense and exist bc that exists in the real modern day. YOU CANT HAVE BOTH. YOU CAN'T DEPEND ON BOTH. either get better writing skills, do a worlding building explanation paragraph and build your own world OR MAKE SENSE WITH PUTTING THIS IN MODERN DAY. It's doable! Supernatural can be logically written in modern day! YOU WERE DOING IT FINE FOR THE FIRST 5 CASES. and what number case is this idk? But f*ck this potential. Seriously everyone is dumb but the leads. It's pathetic. No 3d characters. It's really pathetic only bc the writing went from heaven to earth and then now hell so quick. There is no use of dramatic irony, there is no foreshadowing, there's no tension, there's no literary device at play other than a lack of brain cells and enjoyment for the hell of it and f*ckin netizens. I don't care if this is bad writing. I care that I was baited to think it was so good in the beginning. Smh. Don't have expectations. Read it if you want a superhero comic

Imo it is very obvious that the author when conceptualizing this novel, fully planned out the first and second case with some of the third. The author probably outlined those completely and had some concept of a way they wanted to end the entire novel as well, but the stuff In-between was made on the go imo. Essentially the basis of this novel was probably the first case. Bc that's the one that has the god tier writing. Regardless, the very evident drop in writing quality begins with the variety tv show (specifically probably the 4th ep shooting around there). Does it mean it is bad writing? No. But it is not the same. In fact arguably I think the author changed the MC's personality very slightly to be able to fit in the romance with the ml. Arguably it could be considered "character growth" but sure. The difference between the definition of growth and change is the difference in the writing ok. All I'm saying is that..... f*ck variety tv show plots sincerely. No one ever makes anyone besides the leads look smart in them I swear to f*ck. The concept of logic literally disappears in them; it's mind blowing. /Rant

This is still for what it's worth highly entertaining "crime" (the crime is more or less less well written as we go on and that is why I added the "") and supernatural novel. If you like the idea of superheroes, you might like this -- don't get me wrong there aren't any, but the concept of the powers are there.

"I regret to tell you that refusal is not allowed. Starting today, I will be the chief director of this show." The villain asking the psychics to battle royale for a reality tv show....

The bit that just made me completely give up on this book is when the MC was accused of mu*dering someone and they had it on camera. At this point, a lot of people know about the powers some people have that can basically distort reality.

During the first 100 chapters, the ML is a big mystery and it was super fun trying to guess who it was. (There were like 4 candidates) ML is Song Rui. They have an adopted kid together (the kid is dead though, his parents killed him). It was kinda weird that ML is a lawyer and psychologist at the same time? I guess the author wanted to make the ML OP so he doesn't pale in comparison to the MC.

Some of the cases felt real. It can happen in reality which made the story feel interesting. Song Wen Wen's (Song Rui's cousin) boyfriend was a pe*ophile and eyeing her niece. She needed to make a tough choice, saving one child or other children that can fall into his hand if they decide to swipe it under the rug. The reactions of parents felt realistic even though it showed the harsh cruel reality. She chose to save more kids and sent that bastard to prison. They are scared that society will punish the victims that were harmed. My favorites crime-solving were the mundane crimes that were realistic and could happen in real life. For example, there was a wife that was constantly getting beat up by her husband. She was scared of him and felt helpless, but MC showed her that she needed to fight back and find her own independence. Watching the MC lending a hand to normal people living their life and exposing mu*derers was the bread and butter of the book. MC revealing his past and the crimes that Song Enci committed was also a big highlight of the book.

It was tiring to read netizens blaming and sending hate comments to MC even though MC has proven his abilities many times. When the plot started to move away from realism, the MC got mary sue. He just uses his OP powers to subdue the sus people with the jade power. Some of the villains are also really s*upid or stubborn for no reason. Even though the facts are laid in front of them, they still refuse the MC's help. MC gets painted as a saint in one moment and the devil in the next. When the plot started to bring in Taoism priests the plot went to supernatural power really fast. Some people actively cultivate. That felt super weird because it's a modern world. If cultivators are super powerful then why aren't there more people doing it? It felt like the author wanted to end the story ASAP and used cultivation to fill up the plot holes.

The ending happened so fast that it can leave you confused about what you just read. The MC planned everything to the end. The big boss villain Song Enci, MC's senior sister, was a pawn in MC's big scheme. She killed MC in the past with a cruel method that made him experience hell. He wanted to break the yin-yang jade pedant so no one can become god anymore. Song Enci's past deeds will make your heart boil since she committed horrible crimes and only repented when she finally died. Her actions caused many people to die and she didn't feel sorry. She was spoiled rotten by her master, who was also MC's master. Master hates MC because he killed his brother, but MC was forced to kill his uncle because his uncle was trying to become a god. To become a god you need to sacrifice a lot of people so MC killed him to stop him from mass mu*dering. The MC becomes a god and kills her, but assimilates with the last dragon to save the whole world. Everyone forgets his existence except the kid and ML. Then he lowkey disappears for 3 years and comes back solving a crime. People that interacted with him before don't remember him but felt a deep connection. MC's brother and some rich dude are the side couples and I really liked how they rekindled their relationship. MC's brother wasn't real and his mother created him to make more money and controlled his life, but MC saved him. He bound his life to his boyfriend. (Lol the second couple had more romantic moments than the MC and ML) The ending is open-ended, but MC said he is a normal human now and can live with the ML. I don't think they even kissed or tumbled in the beds throughout the story. At least the ML saw the MC taking ice baths. I kinda wanted to see some action, but life.

As of chapter 209, they haven't got together yet. The ML is the pro-active one and MC accepts his approach. Not sure how MC feels about the ML but he does appreciate the ML and regards him as his only friend. Wouldn't recommend to readers who are looking for fiery romance because the romance is quite slow and uneventful.
