Synopsis

The gods exist. The Supernatural is real. But poor foolish Mortals can never pierce through the Truth hidden by the Veil. They say Ignorance is Bliss. But for Adam, such Bliss woven by a lie is worthless. In his opinion, Ignorance may be Bliss but --- Knowledge is power. This was the truest fact; something Adam built his empire around. ---- He wasn’t always this rich. He wasn’t always this powerful. There was a time he too struggled to earn enough for the treatment of his sick and dying mother. But one day, on a Halloween night, his life was forever changed. His eyes were opened to a completely new Reality. The truth that was hidden from the eyes of all normal humans. An entirely different world, rules, and society exist just in front of us. Follow Adam, as he uncovers the Truth about his identity, the power in his blood, and his adventures as he rises to the throne that is rightfully his. To attain his goal, he will not hesitate. He will even become the God of Crime if that is necessary. --------- The story will be moderately slow-paced during the First four volumes as I set Adam in the world and slowly develop the world-building and Adam starts to adapt to the new reality. I know it might not be to the taste of everyone, but I believe it's worth it. We discover the world together with Adam and how he will grow from someone who knew absolutely nothing about the supernatural world to being someone no one can ignore. This will be a long road and I would be happy if you are willing to walk this road with me. ---- (Alternative title: Midnight Prince: Empire of Sin) [ Tags ]: Mature| Grimdark | Gore |Netori | Harem | Milf | Young & Mature | Supernatural |Action | Gang War | Criminal Empire | System | Gigolo | Handsome MC | Weak to Strong MC | Antihero| Neutral good to Lawful Neutral Evil. | Showbiz | Psychic | ****** ) ----- Disclaimer: The cover picture is AI made and is the art for Adam as [Magician] Patreon: https://www.patreon.com/HikaruGenji Discord: https://discord.gg/3v2xvhvD6j My other work Son of The Hero King: https://www.webnovel.com/book/son-of-the-hero-king_24153504605334705

Crime Prison Island

After the nuclear war, the world was controlled by twenty mega-corporations that established a global government. Governed by AI, it judged everything. Gao Xin, who had only wished to live a peaceful life, inexplicably became a scapegoat for the elite and, unable to pay the imprisonment fee, was sentenced to ten years of exile on Crime Prison Island! On this island, there were no laws, no constraints, the only order being the numerous game arenas set up by the officials. The criminals could only participate like racehorses for the entertainment of the elite. Yet, on this prison island filled with Radiation, cyborgs, and many powerful villains, Gao Xin had no strength, no talent, and no background—like a sheep thrown into a crocodile pool, no different from being on death row. How could an ordinary person like him survive under the oppression of the strong, the geniuses, and the wicked? Unless in this world, there was a path, a path that allowed even the weakest to continuously break their shackles.

I would recommend 'The Devotion of Suspect X' to beginners. The story is about a murder and how a brilliant mathematician gets involved. It's written in a way that is accessible even if you're new to Japanese crime novels. 'Out' is also a good start. It shows the lives of ordinary women who get caught up in a criminal situation. And 'Snow Country' can be considered too. It has elements of mystery which can draw in new readers.

One characteristic is the focus on the investigation process. Japanese crime novels often show the meticulous work of the police or detectives. They might spend a lot of time on interviewing witnesses, analyzing evidence, etc. Another aspect is the exploration of social issues. Many Japanese crime novels touch on problems like bullying in schools, problems in the workplace, and the pressure of society on individuals. This is seen in novels like 'Out' where the difficult lives of factory workers are a backdrop to the crime. And the endings are often unexpected, leaving readers with a sense of shock or deep thought.

Some excellent Japanese crime fiction includes 'Coin Locker Babies' by Ryu Murakami. It tells a dark and strange story of two boys abandoned in coin lockers. Then there's 'In the Miso Soup' by Ryu Murakami as well. It's a disturbing yet captivating read that takes place in Tokyo's seedy underworld. 'The Informer' by Sho - she - Tanaka is also worth mentioning for its unique take on crime and the criminal underworld.
