Quite confused by all the positive reviews. It's very obvious that the only thing Author knows about US they learned from action movies and memes. MC is said to be "Detective" and is given the "Super Detective System", but the author has no idea how police or detective work. MC is more of a "Killer, but somehow legal in this world weird cop system". There is no "Detective work" in the entire novel - the cases solve themselves, often accompanied by violence. MC kills indiscriminately, uses scavenged firearms taken freshly from corpses (big no-no) and so on. He would've been better established as a merc, not detective. The translation is sub par, the character are carboard cutouts and stereotypes, the names are often nonsensical etc. It's obvious that the story is not what is "written on the tin". Very disappointed.

Violent acts were presented in a way that was acceptable for the general readership of that time. It was not about shock value through extreme violence but about creating an engaging mystery where violence was just one element among many, such as the social context, the characters' motives, and the intricate plot twists.
