well i must say MC is playing real game of thrones. In War, in court - deception is everywhere. Sometimes its becomes confusing - Wtf mc gonna do? For what reason he is doing what he is doing. No cheats, no system. MC is like Varis Petyr and Ed Stark in one body - knight, consiprator and politician. Mc is good to his subjects and nightmare for his enemies. He is grey/just but not cruel.

Although the author uses TV series and movies as a basis, he builds his own plot and does not follow the so-called "canon". I recognized several movies and TV series. I haven't watched the rest and I didn't have any difficulties understanding what was happening. Knowing the plot sometimes helps the main character, figure out the general direction of action, but not the details. So anything can happen in the future. The system helps the main character quickly master new skills, but does not make him a superman. At some point, the author abandoned the system altogether. I would like to note that the main character works in a team, you will not see such a thing as the main character dragging everything on himself, and everyone around is just smoking and pretending to be fools. But somewhere around chapter 1000, he clearly started to slack off. He can clearly do more, but the author is very clearly putting spokes in the wheels to advance the plot and it looks somehow awkward. World building is good, mc is not the centre of universe, life goes on for ppl even outside the plot. And as strange as it may sound, characters have character. P.S. as in many detective stories the author forgets to dilute all the tension, there are no pauses between cases at all (there were at first, but disappeared) and it feels like main character sits and investigates cases 24/7 and it feel suffocating sometimes.

Say i read 2 cases in a row and system didn't award mc anything. Did author abandoned system settings at some point? {397ch)

More about Holmes, not much magic.

Started interesting. it is quiet repetitive but still addictive.

Its ok. Read ch311 and than stop. There no point to read acting after that.

No system. Trust me NO SYSTEM! This novel reminds me of anime/manga/lightnovel where mc defeats the villain, only to later find out that there is an evil organization behind him, and later it turns out that there is another, even more evil organization behind the evil organization. Overall MC have only one case through whole novel, at least it feels that way. MC is police detective and police is always late and mc perfectly preserves this tradition. Always step late and whole novel is like that. It is interesting read but at the same time it is exhausting. Sometimes simple police procedure can point shortest way to the clue: like dude without face lying on the ground have tattoos all over the body and none one have enough brain power to check out if he is from known gang (usa). another case: there is a suspect, no, 100% confirmed killer, the police have a real name. What should be done? the right thing to do is to raise all information about him. INCLUDING cash flows. They were running around for 2 days, in the end mc decided to check the bank account... found a clue...

not bad but not good either. MC just doing operations non-stop, stunning everyone in everystep, sometimes his colleagues are so stunned that they forget that they are fking doctors who must do their shit and dont just stand there agape. 0 plot. Mc have no life outside the hospital, he dont eat and dont sleep, well sometimes he does. Mc talking about surgical revolution ahead of time but in 250ch. he just taught one resident how to slap patients on the back. Go write a surgical book, attend a couple of symposiums, distribute videos of surgeries.

It's good and its chill. I hate system but here it is at background so you dont need to mind it at all, so just enjoy slice-of-life of in the world of america "drama".
