I don’t get why the author would write such a good novel and ruin it with his personality. I mean 3 chapters straight about how the Americans are lazy and men being more skilled than women, i wish he would just say china is the best and get on with the story.

At least you didn't give it 1 star, but i personally like the story and if you continue this book you actually won't see much of china being great other than occasional mentions about food

Since we are here ... in which chapter does super humans or people with super powers appear? I'm in chapter 15 and I haven't seen them yet.

Probably in 300+. The very first super human being that i can remember is jason from friday the 13th and freddy kruger? But those things barely affected the plot. They were also easily clapped by mc

Ok, so this is a novel that sells lies. I'll have it just to watch it when I don't have any novels to read or just want a change of scenery.

lmao that's what i was thinking too, but i guess the author didn't want them to be part of the main plot so he made luke tell shield to contain them since they are immortal/resurrection plot armor. there are plot holes here and there but maybe this whole arc was just a side story? idk

I mean... honestly the description of America in this novel seems pretty spot on from my standpoint as a nonAmerican. Just saying, its not just Chinese Nationalism, a good bit of this is genuinely how the rest of us see Americans. Lazy, fat, constantly eating and shooting each other? Thats like 10/10 how most of the word sees America, as a land of violence, guns, and greasy food. The sexism is 100% awful, but im numb to it by this point, and the time period of this taking place is when America still expected the woman to cook so the conversations honestly dont feel forced to me, it kinda feels like the characters just live in that time period still. Doesn’t make it acceptable, but still, its not as jarring and has consistency at least.

i agree with you but the novel starts in year 2003 so it's not that far into past

This is an action/murder series in which a Chinese man is reincarnated as a Caucasian Texan kid in an alternate universe. The title and synopsis are very misleading. Although "detective" is in the name, the MC has not done any investigative work at all. THIS IS NOT A MYSTERY SERIES AT ALL. On the contrary, he becomes a police officer and goes around killing people with excessive brutality. Despite this, he hasn't even been investigated, suspended, or arrested for his crimes. Aside from his system, there are no super powers or supernatural elements at all prior to the series going premium. There is ample racism, sexism, and nationalism from the main character. Women are weak, even if they're police officers and have not demonstrated any kinds of weakness. The Chinese always do things better and are more sensible. Why didn't the author just reincarnate him as a Chinese American, then? There are plenty of Asian people here. This is very off-putting and distracting from the plot. The MC himself is a Gary Stu with great grades, great looks, and great abs. Although he becomes excessively violent and even executes criminals who are incapacitated, there are no legal repercussions, and he's never risked being removed from the force. Is he even human? He feels no guilt, hesitation, or remorse after killing people. He is interested in his system and is savage, but he otherwise doesn't have any emotions. No bitterness, no sorrow, no regrets, no lust, no nothing. His morality is highly questionable, too. Although he has a girlfriend he likes, he wants to replace her with a better girlfriend or even develop a harem; later, he has no interest in dating, so his personality is inconsistent in this regard. His intelligence is clearly only average, and this has left many readers facepalming in the comments, including myself. Weirdly enough, although he was already thirty years old in his past life, he doesn't appear to have any life experiences or to reflect on his past at all. Most people would plan things different a second time in life, but he really doesn't have any interest. It feels like his past as a Chinese man only exists to give him the excuse to continue with making hurtful prejudiced comments. I'm not sure what the point is. It's also pretty bizarre that his system doesn't punish him for breaking the law or murdering people. It's as though it was designed to make a super criminal rather than a hero, and it's abundantly obvious it's not made for a detective at this point since intelligence doesn't count for anything. There is some characterization of other characters, but the story doesn't give them much depth before going premium. If you are looking for another casual action/killing type of series, then you might enjoy this. If you are looking for actual mysteries, detectives, investigation of any kind, or super powers, this series does not have any of them prior to premium. I'm not going to bother paying premium here, and I don't recommend it for others either.

TL;DR: Not Shakespeare, not complex, but fun and easy to read. Come support! As the translator, I've enjoyed translating this novel and I hope to bring the essence of what the author has tried to portray into the chapters you will read. To sum it up in 3 words: Mechs! Explosions! Science! To be perfectly honest, this novel is about your typically overpowered protagonist who does get looked down from time to time but always overcomes the odds with his own special power. He's abit more mature having grown up on his own and just a littttttttle bit dense. Although it always ends up with him winning, it always happens in an interesting (subjective) and fun way that makes me enjoy reading this. The novel has elements of lighthearted comedy from time to time and I do chuckle at how direct the humor is. It's not as smart as say WMW nor does it weave an intricate story much like Ergen's novels. More importantly, its fun and it doesn't try to hide it.
