Silent Reading

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.

Some of the themes were a little too heavy for me personally, and I didn't always like the way they were handled, but I have to give this novel top scores, just because it's a masterpiece of writing.

From a technical standpoint, the plotting and prose are perfect. Many readers will love this novel, but it won't rank my favorite of Priest's works.

Making my first review for this novel because it's the most interesting story I've read in a very long time! As usual with Priest, the main focus is not on romance but it certainly is a integral part for the development of main leads. A great read, excellent translation with characters can hook your heart in!

One of my most favorite crime novels. Truly worth reading. Although I may read it again because the plot is so complicated and my poor brain couldn't understand it at once. The romance plot is by far one of the most satisfying plot development I've read. I also like the heavy plot. All in all, very recommended for you people who like reading something with criminal, conspiracies, and things that have to do with police.

To be honest, it's hard to keep my interest reading the first few chapters, it feels bland & monotone. I'm glad I persist though, because I've been blown away by the story. The author is overqualified to write wn imo LoL. MC is the seemingly laid-back, devil-may-care 2nd generation rich man, ML is the carefree, can't-wake-up-in-the-morning policeman. At first, they can't exist in the same place without bickering or maybe plan to kill each other, it's cute LoL. Each character is woven beautifully into the story, basically there's no... more>> 2 dimensional character. The last few chapters is so nerve-wracking I spent the night speed read everything. The conclusions is quite satisfying, though if I can nitpick, I feel a bit unsatisfied there's no extra chapter describing those who sneer & jeer at MC found out that MC is not the bad guy they think he is. I'm so invested to the story, I feel hurt that they are judging & pointing MC, not knowing what MC has gone through, what he has sacrificed. Thankfully MC have ML now, he'll be spoiled to death by ML. <<less

So far, it’s exactly what I was looking for. Recently, I’ve been watching a lot of crime documentaries and had an urge to read a book so I put these two together and found this. All I can say is, I wasn’t disappointed. The action scenes were especially thrilling, and I say it probably has all the elements I was looking for to keep me satisfied. And I’m only 23 chapters in, isn’t that crazy? I just felt the need to give it 5 stars bc of how easily it... more>> lured me in to the point I lost track of time.

ngl, the main reason I’m making a review is to say I have a crush on Xiao Haiyang, he’s so adorable and smart (^з^) -☆ <<less

This is the second novel of this type that I have read. The first one being “Love me if you dare”. This is really my favourite genre to read because it encompasses feelings and wit in a go. The main couple and their character development is great. The crime and romance part are well balanced and neither one overshadows the other. I love it 👍💜

A very interesting read. Plot is good and each characters is special in their own way.

interaction between MC and ML is good.

Only wished that there was more romance and less plot.

When I read the first three chapters, I have a hard time following the story. It may be the translation, my perception in English or because I was really sleepy at the time.

I almost dropped the series since I couldn't really make connections about whats what happened in the story.

After reading chapter four however (with clear head), I begin to feeling engrossed by the story and became really interested with the characters, plot, and storytelling.

I don't really feeling like I 'like' the MC at first since he was being casted... more>> aside for a moment for other characters to make an appearance, but really, I really, really like him.

In my opinion this is a good crime-mystery novel and it's definitely worth your time to at least read the available chapters.

Since it was a little bit too early to have rating, I said I might give it 5✩ in the future when the stories has developed further.

Thanks for the translator for translating this series. <<less
