Description

Links are NOT allowed. Format your description nicely so people can easily read them. Please use proper spacing and paragraphs.

Childhood, upbringing, family background, social relations, traumatic experiences…

We keep reviewing and seeking out the motives of criminals, exploring the subtlest emotions driving them. It’s not to put ourselves in their shoes and sympathize, or even forgive them; it’s not to find some reasons to exculpate their crimes; it’s not to kneel down before the so-called “complexity of human nature”; nor to introspect social conflicts, much less to alienate ourselves into monsters.

We just want to have a fair trial – for ourselves and for those who still have hope for the world.

This is extremely good.

The details, the subtly flirting b/w the main chracs, the flow.. Everything, is exceptionally thought out and interwoven well.

Of all the books I've read, this easily takes up the No.1 place on my list.

Thankyou so much for translating

[Technically a 4.6, but I'd prefer it be rated higher than lower].

Despite the story being a bit dull at the start, the pace picks up once we know who the two MCs are. Although their personalities can sometimes be "unstable", there's a overall grasp, and they can end up being the people you love the most in the universe.

The main plot... is a bit convoluted. Of course, the arcs generally make sense, despite the occasional confusion and info-dumping. It's the majority of the story and gives life to the world,... more>> really. Whilst showing us how cruel humans can be, it also brings with it hope. Admittedly, there are some rollercoaster-like twists that get your head spinning in a not-so-good way, but you can understand the shape relatively well if you ignore the blurriness.

Meanwhile, the romance is rather slow-burn. I think this is my favourite part of it, actually. It takes a realistic pace that makes us, the readers, desperate for more. Kind of like drugs, really. Despite the difference in personality, both MCs work well to discover the truth, and they're equal in one way or another. When they're in troubled waters, they will sit down and communicate, though it takes some time.

Side characters... To be honest, it was hard to keep track sometimes. Some had one-time uses and others were remembered in volatile segments. Of course, I still understood and possibly sympathised with some, but there were too many to keep track of, which makes a bit of sense,
Spoiler

considering the crime-organisation thing.

[collapse]
Let me give you an example of why I got confused. Here are some surnames that appeared: Zhou, Zhen, Zhang, and Zheng. Perhaps my memory is too bad for this, but I'd prefer not to have so many major guys with surnames beginning with "Zh." Seriously.

The ending was satisfactory. That's all I'll say for people who wanna know without reading. ☺️ <<less

It's the one of the best bl novels i've ever read. Unlike many other webnovels which are written in a light hearted fancy way (well, I'm not critizing them, they r entertaining in their own way), it has a more serious and philosophical style. The plot is 10/10, writing is suberb (well it's Priest afterall), and the characters are very interesting. The relationship between MC and ML is realistic and amusing, yet very touching, especially in the later chapters where Feidu's past is slowly revealed.

(I've read many crime novels... more>> where everyone else beside MC and ML seem to be brainless, but this novel is certainly not one of those. Side characters r all unique and capable in their own way.)

MC-Captain Luo is a policeman who is smart and good at his job, but he's no Conan. He solves crimes not by his super duper intelligence but in a realistic way as a police officer with the help of his equally capable coworkers. He's openly gay, a good captain who buys breakfast for his subordinates, has a cat, and overall a very charming character.

ML- I have a soft spot for this CEO boi. Fei Du is an especially well written character even by Priest's standards. His personality is very interesting. For most ppl, he's a flirty flowerboy who plays around. In Captain Luo's (early) opinion, he's a dangerous person whose mind is scarily close to that of criminals, yet still a pitiful child who is neglected. But as it's slowly revealed in the story, his actual personality is much more complex and deep than u might think. He's a genius in criminal psychology, and a rich second generation, but he's not OP at all, and his involvement with the police is reasonable and well explained in the later chapters.

In summary, I strongly recommend this novel to anyone who enjoys a crime lated and psychological type of story, with a slow but heartwarming and straightforward romance between the characters. <<less

Priest goddess with her blessed hands has done it again!!! My cup of tea ah, psychological thriller, mu*der cases, detectives and a mysterious second rich generation smart MC. Although the protagonists might come off as super OP billionaire and crime genius I personally loooove his whole character design. We can see hints of a dark past and trauma, giving an idea of the reason why his train of thought is not like most people. The contrast to the normally righteous law abiding and good person protagonist is wonderful and fresh,... more>> the struggles he presents and how his relationship with the ML develops is really good. Anyways this is a story with some dark, cool and mysterious vibes, amazing world building and portraying of emotions, thoughts and feeling. If you are into this kind of stuff–– welcome to heaven! <<less

I'm here to give review but I don't know how to because this novel is truly awesome.

FIRST, DON'T BELIEVE THE 1/2 STARS ON THE REVIEW.

Damnnn. I can say this was a heavy read. you may get bored as there is full crime solving & less romance. But it doesn't feel less. Sometimes my head was going around 360 degrees. It's too complicated. But l also learned alot about human nature.

I JUST WANT FEI DU'S READING LIST.......... like come on man, I already collected a few of his book collections and... more>> I want all. Those are fire.

Atlast the love between them is not sugar but honey. When you feel it you'll know the difference. They are sweet, bold, ruthless and SHAMELESS. Many times I face palmed on their behalf. Their car son is very cute. AND WHAT'S MORE CUTE, THAT PRESIDENT FEI USING IT AS HIS SHELD FOR HIS CUTE CRIMES SO HIS POLICE MAN WON'T BE POUTING.

One got criminal - thugs gang & the other got the gang of police (thugs almost)

But this book is highly recommended. I never was interested in Priest's books as they are too heavy (& I lack patience) But after this I downloaded their each work to read. <<less

The best novel that has ever happened to me. I lost sleep over it. Can definitely tell how much love and effort the author has put into creating the mysteries, the fictional world, the characters. I loved both the MC and ML, and I normally have issues of either or both of them in most other novels! I couldn't stop reading, only when my eyes forcibly close themselves! Truly recommended. It's gonna be hard to find another novel that can top this.

This book is one of priests best, no doubt about it. The plot is complicated, hard to keep track of if you’re not used to the genre and VERY plot heavy. The romance is secondary, but oh so sweet!. All the negative reviews I’ve read are form people who, either are not used to the gente (police crime/drama) or do not like plot heavy stories and can’t keep track of everything.

it takes a while for everything to make sense but IT DOES! The plot is very well constructed, Priest explains... more>> everything at the end and the ending is very satisfactory. There’s a couple of lose ends that are expected form this kind of story, since tying al up in a perfect bow is unrealistic. BUT the main players get their retribution, our heroes all have moments to shine and the main couple get their “happy ending”.

the story is heavy, the cases are heartbreaking and does made me think of the nature of evil, if real justice do exist and how a victim can turn into an aggressor. In true Priest fashion, the writing of full of literary references, is direct and to the point, and her characters are smart and charming.

the main couple are just adorable!. Luo Wenzhou is just to die for! For once he does not have a tragic backstory, he is proud and shameless but cares about other people. He feels like a human being, an ideal cop that can just exist in fantasy, and funny to no end. I loved this character, and it’s on my golden priest trio (Luo Wenzhou, Jing Beiyuan, and Zhao Yunlan).

Fei Du, my poor little baby, he is just too adorable and too scary. Idk I think priest has a type for aloof, cold and mysterious beautiful men who have a dark soul and a rotten perspective of the world, that somehow does not turn them into villains. And I’m all for it. Contrary to other characters who are similar (Bai Li, Shen Wei who in my opinion are kinda scary) Fei Du is so fragile it makes you want to keep him in your pocket and fight against everything that made him like that. Some parts of his past, when revealed, made me drown in my tears. He is a baby and most be protected, I don’t care if he is OP, he makes it up with his personality.

Finally, for everyone who likes priest, this book is a must! So well done and beautiful and cruel and entertaining!. 10/10. <<less

This novel was started with full knowledge that:

  1. I have an immense distaste for cop-propaganda, and that includes your average television crime-dramas.
  2. This book is cop-propaganda.
Folks, I have to tell you, if you have a rational aversion to cops, do yourself a favor and skip this book entirely. Despite my better judgement I read it anyways. And Skipped. And searched. And skimmed. And selectively read. The writing style is good, the plot is complex, and Priest never really fails with literary references, but the slow-burn of the main couple could not save... more>> it from being a nightmare of crime-drama tropes that make me exceedingly uncomfortable.

tl;dr Disappointed but not surprised. <<less

Read it on E. Danglars, for complete translation.

While I do enjoy reading this novel, I also can't recalled most of things happen on the whole story. It's way too too too too complicated, too many names, too many accident to the point at the end it feels lackluster.

Also for someone who need a plot and romance like me, the novel won't fully satisfying as the romance is only very bare minimum. Oh, the CP is Fei Du and Luo Wenzhou.

And again, as a classic problem: the main couple is too... more>> OP while the others a bit bland, except my darling Lang Qiao. <<less

If you've heard reviews saying that this book isn't for those looking for something romance-centric, definitely take them seriously. The romance probably accounts for around 5% of the entire book and I guess I was a little disappointed as a die-hard fan of another popular bl crime-thriller (Breaking Through the Clouds/破云).

I think 默读 is quite well-written for its genre, and things I particularly liked are: 1) Its cast of lovable characters, 2) Scenes capable of making me laugh out loud and 3) Often I would chance upon quotes that make... more>> me linger in thought. I can definitely respect it as a book where a lot of thought has gone into writing it (nothing less expected of Priest). But you'll definitely have to be willing to use some brainpower if you want to follow the story. Personally, at some point, I was suffering from such an overload of information and names that I started skimming everything just so I could complete the novel. <<less

After binge reading the novel for two and half days and nights, here I am to leave my first review on NU - Okay, what can I say, how can I describe this fulfilling story with such fantastic plot - although second arc gave me a little scare haha - ahem! Now if you are a newcomer who stumble here, on this page then what are you thinking more for, just click the first chapter and start the journey.. a worthy journey.

Ok so first of all this novel is only for people who like to read detective-criminal stories so those who are only into stuffs like romance, fluff, meng, etc can say goodbye to this novel now.

This novel also requires patience if you want to read it. I almost dropped it because the beginning part of this novel is just not interesting. But as more chapters I read, I got engrossed into the story.

The ml, Fei Du is stated as a coward but he is actually not. He just has a... more>> phobia of blood and that's normal. He's a millionaire and has a company but he's always there to help solving cases with the police department. How does he have time to help them when he runs a company? Well he hired people to manage his company so that's why he has so much free time. Also, he's familiar with the MC, who is the captain of the police department and his subordinate, Tao Ran so I think that's why a civilian like him always gets access into the department. Fei Du seems like a typical playboy who only knows how to fool around but he actually got a big brain and he's also quite sassy.

The MC, Luo Wenzhou is a capable police officer who is both smart and strong. I don't have much to say about him but he's a good character.

Every crime+mystery scene is well thought and written but you should read it carefully because sometimes it can get confusing. I will say this again, if you don't like crime solving type of book, then you may go away now. For those who want to read more chapters of this novel, y'all can read it on wattpad. The chapters are up to chapter 55 as I'm writing this review now. Here's the link, https://my.w. Tt/qxoXjdFOb3 <<less

Fei Du will forever be in my heart. This book will forever be part of me.

I actually first read this novel years ago. A long time back. If I’m being completely honest, I didn’t enjoy it all that much, mainly because I wasn’t the biggest fan of Fei Du nor did I care much about the cases themselves- the connections, the psychology, society and morality.

I was a very different person back then. Perhaps it’s why I disliked Fei Du, I was quite similar to him- lost, but with a goal.... more>> Low empathy, lack of fear, insensitive, no guilt, no remorse. That is until I met my own ‘Luo Wenzhou’ The one who taught me the importance of empathy, the one who taught me what it meant to ‘live’ and ‘love’.

when I turned to the book the second time, it felt like a whole different story, one that was filled with so much hope, suffering, ideals and perception. I couldn’t dislike a single character, haha if I’m being honest, the one character I disliked was Yang Xin.

While the cases are amazing, I still strongly hold onto the fact that Priest’s stories aren’t for everyone, I’ve personally experienced that, which is why I believe she’s a genius. One who can incorporate so many different viewpoints and make it make sense from all sides and perspectives. It’s beautiful and I’ll always love Priest!

This book was amazing, I didn’t want to part from it at all. I really really love Fei Du.

The romance is beautiful. But it’s quite funny how my ‘Luo wenzhou’ is more like Fei Du haha.

rating : 5/5. <<less

This series has to be one of my top fave books / series of all time. I legitimately think I could and would enjoy writing a lengthy thesis about it. It's a series that I enjoyed so much that I put off reading the last volume for MONTHS because I didn't want the series to end.

What kind of story is Silent Reading?

First and foremost this is a detective story. It involves police and politics, corruption and manipulation, wealthy overpowering the poor, and the list of potential trigger warnings... more>> for it is quite lengthy. There are some genuinely gruesome and upsetting content in the cases though most of it is seen afterwards and not experienced by the reader-- for example there's a scene where a girl encounters a killer but we don't see what happens and only find out about the aftermath as you read on.

This is also a story about love, friendship, trust, family, and relationships. The special investigation squad really feels like a found family and it is lovely to see them all working so hard to protect each other especially in the last volume when sh*t really hits the fan. There's positive and negative relationships of just about every kind. Some characters are close to their family and have a loving relationship while others despise or have trauma with theirs.

Finally it is a story covered and intertwined with theming and allusions. One of my favorite things about this series is how each book / volume is named after and related to another work of literature. I have not personally read all of them before but I admit I am curious to do so and return to Silent Reading and see how that changes my impression of things. Real quick here's a list of the novels in case you would like to look into them before starting Silent Reading;

  • The Red and the Black by Stendhal (1830)
  • Lolita by Vladimir Nabokov (1955)
  • Macbeth by William Shakespeare (1606)
  • Demons by Fyodor Dostoevsky (1871)
  • The Count of Monte Cristo by Alexandre Dumas (1844)
Who are the main characters?

Without going into details here's a little bit about our main squad:

  • Fei Du - a rich young man with a traumatic past who is interested in psychology and has a keen analytical mind. He is incredibly intelligent and determined to figure everything out (from the cases to his repressed memories) with all he has even if it hurts himself in the process. He acts cold and calculating and is determined not to trust or let others too close.
  • Luo Wenzhou - the head of the special investigation squad, he appears carefree and lighthearted but cares so deeply. He wants to protect his little family of investigators no matter what. (He also has a cat named Luo Yiguo who is hilarious every time he shows up).
  • Tao Ran - deputy captain of the squad, he has strong big brother vibes. He's serious and kind and a good foil to the flippant and brash Luo Wenzhou. He's constantly shaking his head and hoping everyone can get along (at least for a little while).
  • Lang Qiao - part of the special investigation squad, she may not be as quick on analyzing the clues but she makes up for it by being decisive and taking action. (I really appreciated her not being fridged or a damsel -- in fact she often would rush into action and saved Xiao Haiyang a few times).
  • Xiao Haiyang -he starts out in another unit but gets transferred into the special investigation squad in the second book after having worked with them closely during the first book. He's new and has a lot to learn but his incredible memory helps him pick up on some clues that others have missed. His sense of righteousness is strong but his self preservation is weak.
What is the plot of Silent Reading?

Each volume revolves around a certain case that the special investigation squad and Fei Du find themselves wrapped up in. The characters and cases that they work on are complicated and nuanced, I felt a little like a detective myself as I would take notes while reading and try to piece together clues. This includes not only the current case but the little tidbits we would get about the main character's dark past and puzzling how it has affected him into who he is today as well as hints at a large scale conspiracy manipulated by some shadowy force that was directing the characters around to their whim. After reading each volume I would have a list of questions that I had generated that still remained and I hoped I would get more clues to in the next volume.

I also appreciated that the cases seemed to become more complicated and tangled as the series continued. Suspects and victims were not mutually exclusive, What seemed simple at first glance would be revealed to be a cover-up and the characters would pursue the loose strings and uncover what really happened.

Here's a bit more info about potential triggers in the series;
Spoiler

tw -- please note that all of these warnings ALSO APPLY TOWARDS MINORS AND CHILDREN: s*xual ab*se and assault, brutal violence and physical ab*se, mental and psychological ab*se, animal ab*se, death, mu*der, drug use, torture, dismemberment, neglect, human trafficking, cult-like brainwashing, manipulation, conspiracy, corruption, police, politics, trauma, cycle of ab*se, social standing as an excuse to treat people as lesser (rich targeting the poor, strong targeting the weak, men targeting women, women targeting children, etc.)

[collapse]

I'm unsure if this would be considered a trigger but just in case;
Spoiler

There's a few times where FD acts cheekily towards LWZ and LWZ alludes to 'punishing' FD with s*x. I believe both characters are aware that this is meant as a form of teasing and play between them and if FD did not consent LWZ would not continue. They both know if FD teases LWZ to this extent that he's egging LWZ on purposefully and is consenting (sometimes this is an attempt to distract LWZ from asking FD questions that FD does not want to answer). Ultimately we know that LWZ wouldn't harm FD but I felt it was worth a mention. This series also unfortunately falls into the trope of one male character always tops and the other always bottoms -- to the extent that when the bottom complains or suggests switching roles the top acts offended or like he doesn't hear the other. It's like some bullsh*t pride thing that pops up from time to time in gay media that the bottom is less masculine because he's on the receiving end. Personally I think LWZ would thoroughly enjoy any type of act with FD as long as FD was doing it with him. And that's not to say a person can't have preferences-- I just get frustrated when the tops act insulted at the mere thought or implication of being the one on the receiving end.

the false advertising for this book gave me trust issues ngl.

at least the first four cases of the book were slightly engaging unlike book 5, where sh*t hits the fan in the most bizarre way possible and has the most underwhelming conclusion. Like god what did I expect. There was constant dismissal of character exploration/development in favor of some big plot convergence which like? U are really gonna sacrifice ur characters and plot coherency for that? Sike.

trauma exploration? Lies. Dont fall for it. They were right about the novel having... more>> dense and complex writing tho. Complex enough to lay out the same info over and over again bc it was expected of the reader to, I dunno, not get it or be able to hold onto the info themselves? Ive no idea. Honestly if the writing is intentionally written to be unnecessarily complex and literally need a flowchart to even follow through one paragraph of dialogue, it's just really not good writing. <<less

"In the grand scheme of things, this novel is about finding justice and fair trial and that desperation can either bring the best or the worst out of people."

I thoroughly enjoyed it but half of it would be due to my interest in the main idea and heavy topics. Can Ci Pin and Tai Sui (both by Priest) were faaaar deeper and original with building the concepts and creating meaning with all involving characters and plot. It makes sense for Mo Du's though since Priest would have to be careful... more>> with writing about such topics.

There's a decent amount of development of romance and characters. Things only really start going after the first case for the main ship, but their development is prolonged for the whole novel (not a bad thing considering why, but can be unenjoyable). I loved the slow and cautious development between Fei Du and Luo Wenzhou, additionally with how Priest weaves it into the plot so you get to see them together most of the time.

Per usual with her novels, it takes a little while for things to actually start going. For me, the first case was not interesting and doesn't leave much of an impact. The further cases became much darker, which I found more intriguing. The ending was more on the side of coming to a realization for me, that if you look back you see how everything added up to what I quoted.

Most of the trigger warnings were to a severe extent. The only one that was not heavily depicted were the drugs in the first case. The ones that are the most severe are pe*ophilia, psychological ab*se and child ab*se. <<less

My absolute favorite Priest novel, written with her usual brilliance. I prefer her modern novels as opposed to her historical ones (not that they are not equally amazing) as there is such a dearth of serious well written modern, mystery danmei. Props to priest for doing her research, each case is a delight to read and try to solve, with a phenomenal conclusion which ties everything together.

E. Danglars has a completed translation up which is very well translated so just read this already.

This novel sits firmly in the crime/thriller genre and so makes it harder to rate. Unlike romance centric stories which I rate on enjoyment/entertainment value, a story in this genre gets a more critical eye I think and opinions will vary a more.

Imagine a world where Jack the Ripper, Ted Bundy, Zodiac Killer, and hundreds like them are all living and operating at the same time and place and card carrying members of the Association of Sociopaths And Psychopaths (ASAP). Now imagine that this also exists, the Rich and Powerful... more>> Folks United to Support ASAP (Disclaimer: the RPFUS-ASAP may also qualify for ASAP themselves but being rich and powerful gets you more than a card). How much you buy into this will probably determine whether you think it's a wonderfully intricate crime story or a ridiculous jumping the shark story.

There are 5 arcs in the story and follow the same pattern. A "simple" crime/mu*der victim and the perpetrator/criminal starts off a chain of events that leads to a bigger web of criminal activity (drug trafficking, police corruption, pe*ophilia ring/mu*der, etc.). But behind that is an even bigger conspiracy that connects all the arcs together.

Now onto our crime fighting gang led by the 2 mains, Fei Du and Luo Wenzhou. The crimes and trying to solve them takes center stage but in between all that, the 2 are trying to build a relationship. The relationship between them is pretty entertaining, well written and a bit of fresh air in between all the relentless darkness of the crime stuff. <<less

This novel is very well written, you can tell our Lord and Savior Priest planned it all before starting.

Fei Du is a very complex character that grows a lot throughout the whole thing, Luo Wenzhou is fun and caring, I love all the nick names people give him.

The side characters were interesting too, always multi-faceted and deeper than what can see the eye.

The mysteries were very raw and instigating, I loved it. Can't wait for the donghua and other future adaptations!
