I'm such a fan of this series. The first part had me guessing the whole time, and I was still wrong. Just the right amount of noir detective mixed with sci fi and some cool supernatural aspects. I can't wait for the next adventure!

This novel does a pretty good job of setting up it's premise, introducing it's main character and most importantly capturing it's genre. It may be another reincarnation/system story but it's gripping due to it's pulp detective noir vibe out the gate. Then immediately upends it by moving in an even more fun direction. If you like the Altered Carbon this novel is shaping up to be right down your alley.

The story is very good, at least until the Black Noir arc, which is unbearably boring and tedious, since Noir doesn't have a drop of charisma and all I wanted was for Homelander to appear again, but it seems like he was completely forgotten. It's a shame, the story was really full of potential.

It's a book with elements of noir graphic novels, very intriguing. Not more of the same, but a well written and entangled story. It hooked me! If you like this type of novel and is on the fence about reading this story, just go for it! 🇧🇷

After the empress ruined the regent,

Xuan Yin had just opened her eyes when she was almost sent away by the smell of pig feces. After a long time, she finally accepted that she had transmigrated into a female " crown prince " who had been beaten into a pigsty. In the face of her brothers who were eyeing the crown prince's position covetously, she pretended to be innocent and treated it as playing with the cat and walking the dog to pass the time. As for the only person she had her eyes on, the Ninth Imperial Uncle, she couldn't bear to kill him all at once, so she planned to keep him as her own food reserve for fun. When she had enough fun, she would tie him up and cut off his flesh to let him bleed. In the end, she was relied on as she kept him. The fragrant food unknowingly made her a butler. She wasn't allowed to drink human blood, and she wasn't allowed to take concubines. She looked up at the half-covered moon in the sky and regretted for the umpteenth time that she should not have " raised a tiger to invite trouble."
