Translation quality: terrible. The translation quality up to chapter 40 is good, but after that it’s like a switch was flipped and now it’s closer to poorly edited MTL. At this point, the translation is so literal that it’s difficult to follow. 2/5 Updating stability: solid. Even though the updates are bad, at least they’re regular. That said, they immediately released 25 chapters into their privilege tier so it could obviously be better. 4/5 Story development: mixed. The cases are interesting, but outside of them the story is too bland. Everything goes right for the MC and he’s never challenged or in conflict with anything else. And while it doesn’t particularly bother me, the “China STRONK” nationalism is particularly fierce in this one. 3/5 Character design: lackluster. While the criminals are interesting and there’s some gray to the morality, the characters we spend the most time with are bland and uninteresting. The romance is the same: bland. It’s also rushed and the characters involved are too perfect. 2/5 World background: uninspired. Normally, I find the nationalism inherent in Chinese novels intriguing, because their take on foreign countries as filtered through the state media and Great Firewall gives a unique perspective on the author’s culture, but here it actually hurts them. The MC transmigrated to a world where nothing is different, except that China is as powerful there as the US is in reality. Other than that, there is no difference from the day-to-day that we already live with so the worldbuilding is something the author just skipped. 2/5 Overall: I’m dropping this at chapter 90-something because of the tl quality more than anything else. While the cases are indeed interesting, there’s just not enough there to justify straining to read the terrible translation.
