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.

One characteristic is the complex and often morally ambiguous characters. In 19th - century crime novels, the villains were not always one - dimensional. For example, in 'The Murders in the Rue Morgue' by Edgar Allan Poe, the mystery was as much about the strange nature of the crime as the characters involved. Another aspect was the use of detailed settings. London's foggy streets in many Victorian crime novels added an atmosphere of mystery and danger. Also, the detective figure started to emerge as a central and intelligent hero, like Sherlock Holmes in Arthur Conan Doyle's works, who used logic and deduction to solve crimes.
