cons: 1. it's a harem later into the story, but there are no tags for it. 2. translation is not that good, like constantly calling mc "Hamilton detective" instead of detective Hamilton, or Mc's pet is always called "cat Mia" instead of Mia the cat or just Mia for short. then there is some confusion with gender pronouns and first/3rd person povs. 3. pacing issues in some instances other than these, the story is pretty good at least in the 400 chapters that I've read, just not at lotm level despite being heavily inspired by it.
