Review Detail of sinkingship in I Transmigrated As A Prison Guard And Suppressed The Princess

Having read the 40 available free chapters my verdict is: A pretty okay "strong guy hiding his powers" novel. The translation has made some strange choices (cultivation is "evolution", acupoints are "shoulder bones") but it's pretty good if you ignore that. The basic story concept is that the MC's cheat allows him to get stronger by imprisoning and/or killing (also maybe torturing, not entirely clear) "sinners". Every time he imprisons or kills someone, his cheat pops out with a list of all the crimes they've committed and rewards him according to the power level of the criminal, thus, he works as a prison guard in the imperial dungeons where he is often given tasks to imprison/execute powerful criminals. When the story begins he is already stronger than all the strong experts around and about at par with the "old monster" style experts hidden behind the scenes, so he can more or less do what he wants (at least in the "starting zone"). However, after 40 chapters, "what he wants" isn't really clear. His personality hasn't really been fleshed out at all. He uses his OP powers to protect the few guards who are closest to him but lets other guards die without batting an eye. He also helps the princess in the title (after suppressing her in the first chapter of course) but only enough to not let her die. Every time he saves her he immediately becomes cold again and says some one-liner about not getting involved with the imperial family (even though saving her life over and over again is about as "involved" as he could possibly be with her). Oh, and he saves her by punching her face over and over again. This happens many times. It's very "hilarious", and probably only so the author can tell everyone that his main character isn't a simp. Mostly, what the MC seems to "want" is one, to secretly kill the ghosts and demons haunting the capital in order to farm them like exp and get stronger and, two, to earn mortal money so he can buy a house. Anyway, even if the humor falls a little flat and the story doesn't have a clear direction as of chapter 40, I still feel like it's a solid recommend. The MC is the archetypal super strong "good to his friends and ruthless to his enemies" characters, so nothing ground breaking there - not adding or subtracting points. Meanwhile, the cheat is somewhat unique and gives the author a good excuse to exposit about how bad the baddies are even after they're dead and assure the readers that the MC isn't a psycho who kills indiscriminately. I read some reviews that said that the author seems like a new author, and I don't know if that's true or not, but I feel like they're a pretty good author. At least, they were able to write a few cool and even moving scenes in the first 40 chapters. So, again, a recommend overall.
