This book was really bad. There were venomous snakes, tiger venom spider eggs, unicorn wolves, weird owls, buddhas and martial arts. The premise (I think) is that someone was trying to investigate a serial murderer, but the plot was really hard to follow. I'd give it 1/2 star if I could. It could be that the book lost something in translation, but I finished it because I needed it for a challenge. Glad it's over.

The following is my review of the plot as I read so it does contain spoilers. The non-spoiler version is that this is a poorly translated/poorly written book about a detective/space explorer who tries to solve a couple murders and is quiet sexist along the way.

This book is about Ji, a strange explorer who is regarded as “an ordinary person but an ordinary person who is slightly stronger than an ordinary person” (of course, very ordinary). At the start, he is attacked by Han, which may or may not mean Han Chinese and uses a variety of animal similes while being captured by people still using oil lamps. Why no one brought a gun is unknown. Also unknown is why chapters two starts in the middle of the conversation.
For star explorer why does this all seem to be historical? This is followed by another animal simile, “even with the big cow, as long as it is not out of the box, he will help you.” Also, a bit of necrophilia for fun, good times.
I saw someone’s else comment that turtle may mean cuckold. I feel like mortuary and house/room/brothel have been confused. That word does not mean what the author/computer used for translation thinks it does. Fragrance building appears to be whore house. Despite the idioms and my confusion on what this has to do with space, the plot is pretty linear: Go to whore house, madam will not help since can get new whore. Now we have in order to avoid stunned snakes. If you google that you get lots of adds to weight loss and male fertility pills so take that as you may, it seems to be a set phrase in poorly translated adds. Furthermore, “murderous murder” is the worst kind.
I wonder if this started as an RPG or video game. The space stuff has shown up now. It is as if Chap5 remembered it was supposed to be sci-fi. Also, more animal idioms, “treading the horse” and I wonder if these are really idioms or just the author being random. As the story progresses, I think you should also put your initials on the embroidered bag you use to pay an assassin. Also, I want an embodied vulture purse. We had a Penacostal earlier and now town Presbyterian day, really makes you wonder what was meant.
Mind oddities, plot is still straightforward and boring: Caught guy who did murder with overly simplistic Sherlock like deduction, guy kills self by blowing up, and now think he was hired and find clue, go to visit one of the victim’s clients. A long-dead cheetah may be my favorite animal phrase now. Either these are aliens or this author has never seen a pregnant woman. There are corpses buried under the monk’s bed and there are Jedi in this world (as well as the Presbys)? Of course, the main character is good at gambling and a blue boy threatens him so he threatens back and leaves. Also, his hair wants to run away. Why did we switch from cm to inches?
Now there is a new dead person at the inn. People have all sort of odd things on their face in this book. The black cockroach seems worse than the knife and red calf. Now, we have spider eggs that were being sold, and the suspect has a flute that controls snakes. I like that the snakes are not only toxic but extremely embarrassing. Do they chew with their mouths open, talk about inappropriate topics at the dinner table? This still reads like an RPG campaign, and random birds came and helped. Now there is a handsome man in a blue dress with a jade doll next to his mouth.
More murderous murders being recounted. We just matched the headless bodies so a surprising bit of continuity there and a secret group with a really dumb name, “poisonous blood league.” Above pretty man is back and was in the casino. He is the one who summoned the birds. They also discover that the corpses are being used to hatch more spiders. Pretty man is now a girl and had 36D bust and despite fighting snakes and summoning birds, is now helpless and naked with a few cockroaches/scorpions. Not sure why, that is inconsistent. Also, at 2/3 of the books, I guess the author felt some fan service was needed. Assassin monk has been broken out of prison.
Well, this story got sexist fast. Pretty man becomes completely useless as a woman and is called 36D girl as if her breast size defined herself. Also, apparently, she is only “naughtily cute” on weekdays.
Owls are symbols of death in China so that makes sense unlike every other animal. Also, someone stole the corpses to steal the spider eggs. Now we have unicorn wolves that are the offspring of a wolf and unicorn. It does not say which is the mother, my bet is on wolf, but you never know. Wow, the description of Wei is awful, “Fragile little woman” who screams. Apparently, the author and Ji completely forgot she fought the snakes before. Also, somehow Ji carries Wei and fight these unicorn wolves. Ji uses the pearls to stun the owl and, in the confusion, kills the king wolf and the rest flee. Wei heals Ji, and Ji is still deeply condescending to her, no surprise there. The owl was possessed by the evil man and is now gone.
The book ends in the secret bad guys room where they talk of how the assassin monk has escaped, how they stole and replaced with fakes the spider eggs, and then the laugh evils, because how else would we know they were evil. Also, by the bad guys saying this, the author and Ji never have to bother to figure it out on their own. Now, there are more bloody deaths, and all are teenage girls who are implied to have been raped.
It ends leading to a new case and I really hope there isn’t another book. Also, why in the world did the author feel like this needed space when everything except the watch which is powered by magic anyways and a few through away refences to other planets is fantasy. The main character even forgets occasionally that he is from another planet and says across the sea.

Very bizarre machine translation fail of a bad book. For others, the plot is spoilered, to help work it out
Ji Feiyu is our hero. Ace super galactic omnipotent agent, just landed on this world escaping something, and now trapped because his ghost scorpion powered bracelet is out of juice for an indeterminate amount of time...
He's a stranger, so local cop decided to fit him up for a murder at the local brothel. But, being ace galactic super dude, he Sherlock Holmes his way out of the accusation & promises to solve the crime in two days. The local cop likes the cut of his jib (or cow?) and agrees. But if ace agent can't solve it, he's for the guillotine!

Off they toddle to the brothel, which has a tortoise gardener / door keeper. Ace Ji checks out the scene of the crime and then decides to hang out at the bookshop, as knowledge is power for a super ace galactic agent with a name....

He spends two days hanging out there, and one of local cops is sad, but the other is up for killing the galactic agent with a name... Just before the 2day deadline they head back to the copshop /cowbox for a Poirot reveal by our named hero, who uncovers that the turtle is the culprit, cos he's left handed. At this point the cow's stomach is smouldering. (I feel this is an important plot point for the future, though I'm unclear right now)

Everyone goes to arrest the turtle, demonstrating piss poor ability to arrest the "murderous murderer", who is using his turtle-ness as camouflage in the rockery cave. Eventually some boy gets him, but before they can question him the turtle bites on a poison tooth and explodes, in a very visceral description.
Luckily, our super ace agent spots this and rescues the friendly local cop by hiding behind a (table?) so no blood lands on them. The rest of the arresting posse (8people. They couldn't arrest the tortoise with 8people?!) are splattered with blood which then turns into cock roaches & eats them.

Turns out the turtle is a minor player, and there is a Big Bad plotting more wickedness
Probably the same Big Bad that turned super galactic agent Jis team from the bestest ever into suspected traitors!.....

Our super ace galactic agent is chatting with the local cop about next steps, trying to negotiate freedom. Whilst he might out Sherlock Sherlock Holmes, a negotiator he is not, and has to take poison in order to have his handcuffs removed... Hopefully the local cop won't be late in doling out the antidote!

They talk about a possible clue, which super sleuth dismisses as false immediately, for reasons. The arrival of another cop supports his deductions. The new cop also announces to the room that he has farted. I don't know why, but a detail like that must be critical to the plot. The violence of the stench isn't mentioned explicitly, but it must be pretty rank as they hotfoot it out to the temple.

In the temple our agent first pretends to be a fortune teller (the purpose escapes me) and then they hook up to drink rain and tea with some ne'er-do-well who is hiding from his Pa cos he can't pass an exam. Super ace galactic agent spots clues that tell him the dim boy was "upside down with a woman" (that's how dim he is!) who must be our dead girl.
They decide that the dim boy had got bored with the girl (and scared of disapproving Pa) and got the turtle to kill her, then killed him. I currently have my doubts - this is someone who doesn't know how to sleep with a woman, this is not a Big Bad.

As they are walking to the brothel an assassin leaps out at them, like a zombie cheetah (q: zombie cheetahs, faster & fiercer than regular cheetahs or not?). Galactic wonder agent makes short work of dispatching the assassin (a: zombie cheetahs less fast than real cheetahs. Stupid assassin should've brought his A game).

They finally get back to the brothel, and check out an attractive bookcase containing porn, which gets our agent a bit hot under the collar, and tedious poetry and a bamboo stick...

The next day they all toddle back to the temple, ostensibly to arrest the dim boy but (of course) our galactic super ace has another idea (he's more like House, I think, throwing out new ideas in the hope that he'll be right once, than Holmes with careful deduction) and he accuses the head monk!

Duh duh duhhhh...!

Turns out that this guess is right, the monk was also sleeping with the dead girl, but probably the right way up as he got her up the duff, and went on a killing spree because he is a cad.

A search of his room reveals the Chamber of Secrets (I'm really hoping that a basilisk doesn't leap out!) which includes the dead body of the dim boy and lots of skeletons, some of which were dead before the head monk moved in. Because of course this mess of a book needs more crap to happen...

Also, the super agent's ghost scorpion powered bracelet is starting to glow....
Jump to Harley or Halle planet, and secret squirrel underground bunker where the galactic space bureau, former employers of wannabe-Holmes, hang out. Three luckless people, tasked with hunting down the "traitor" are being harangued by the Boss-Man. And entirely reasonably harangued, can I add, as they admit that they haven't been trying as hard as possible to hunt down our hero. No wonder they are #2 - 4 in the agency!

Our agent appears to have gone travelling in this world, to play with mountains and rivers. He winds up in some dead-end town, gets a room at the inn and then goes to gamble.

More chapters than necessary pass on the gambling, but it winds up that, OBVIOUSLY, super agent wins big, pissing off some blue dude and the owners of the gambling den, so he steals the blue dude's sword and then uses it to kill the four bouncers. He's a bit psychopathic, this agent, and I'm not clear how he can be such an ace spy if he makes such as spectacle of himself wherever he goes.

Anyway, he gets back to the inn to discover someone's being poisoned. Stuff happens (I don't think the author even bothered to make it make sense in the original language! it certainly didn't in the machine-translation!) and psycho-agent identifies the killer, whose done it for / with snakes. Nourishing, poisonous, vomiting headed snakes.

The big reveal is made by - I swear on all the good books - the space agent, who is not native on this planet, using an ancient ivory flute (I'm thinking NOT a euphemism, but who knows) to play ancient snake charming music. How he can play the flute or knows the music is best left unthought-about.

Snakes come out to say hello. Lots of snakes. Lots of snakes not really under psycho-agent's control, and the snakes are PISSED. Understandably. I mean, they'd been chillaxing in the river, minding their own beeswax, when this violent dude plays with his ivory flute and makes them come into the hot land.
As you might imagine, hacked-off poisonous snakes promptly vomit / spit their poison everywhere, killing everyone except our dude (who's acquired a magic tortoise amulet), until they do attack him.

The end seems to be in sight, but I know it can't be as I'm still only 55% through, goddammit! And yes, magic god person rescues the psycho-agent and kills / banishes the snakes. Then magic god person realises that he's just rescued the arse from the gambling hall who stole his sword. Yup! magic god person and the blue gambler dude are the same person ....

Agent Ji wakes up after the snake venom stuff and there's an.... uh... let's call it info dump though I did not get it all...

The bodies in the Chamber of Secrets in the killer monks are bodies from four mass murders over the past year (note that this doesn't tie up with the info when we were in the CoS, but logical this book ain't), but there's a puzzle why the heads are separated from the bodies. Ji leaps to the bonkers conclusion that the bodies are being used to incubate tiger venom snake eggs, and the other cops go along with it because super space agent.

Someone mentions that he owes the blue gambler dude magic god thanks for saving him, so he goes off to say thanks only to discover that the dude-god is in fact a princess-goddess (prob). The princess is astounded that he recognised her as the dude, as noone has ever seen through her disguise before, despite her 36D boobs.

Let's pause there: someone with 36D boobs (and it's repeated several times, so it's definitely intended) thinks that everyone buys the "I'm a dude with moobs" line. facepalm

I lost the track a bit here, as to why they are wandering about in the woods, but the are, after a seedy interlude where the super agent has lascivious thoughts about the princess...

So, they are in the woods when they are ambushed by 60 wolves. nay! 60 wolves with "sharp corners on the forehead" 60 UNICORN WOLVES. Why have I never heard of unicorn wolves before?! More books must have unicorns wolves immediately! Good books, I mean, that don't waste such an awesome idea on a tool of a character and a mess of an undercooked plot stew.

Will the psycho-agent beat the unicorn wolves, or will they take him? I can barely wait to find out!

I'm so sad.... after the high point of the 60 unicorn wolves, the author clearly had no idea what to do :(

Briefly: super agent killed 30, realised he couldn't kill the rest on his current energy, so used two pearls to knock out an owl that was controlling the wolves. Once the owl was out of the picture, the wolves slunk off.
He & the 36D boobed princess head back to the first town unaware that #2 - 4 agents in the space agency were narrowing down on the ghost scorpion bracelet.
At the cop shop, the agent finds out about some rapes and murders via poison. He's not that bothered by the rape, but the poisoning gets his dander up - that's the worst! - and he swears to get the baddies. The only way to do that is to go on the books of the fuzz.

The end


Seriously? what happened there?it just went Poot! CBA with more plot. Done.

All that time, the unicorn wolves, the turtle, the nourishing, poisonous, vomiting snakes, and then just, meh. :(

Long ago or possibly far in the future, in a galaxy far far away or right here, somewhere near Japan, on a planet that wasn't his home appeared an ace agent of the Galaxy Security Action Bureau. His name was not important and subject to constant changes, like everyone he came into contact with. His gender, unlike the other characters seemed constant and male. Possibly because he was an alien he was never referred to as he and she in the same paragraph. How manly and adult!

Dude, as I will henceforth refer to our MC, has a head full of secret agent smarts, a body full of super human strength with kung-fu grip and a ghost bracelet that is dying. He is arrested and immediately put in charge of solving the murder of a local hooker. Which he of course does by reading local travel books. But wait, the murderous turtle is clearly just the tip of the conspiracy iceberg. Fortunately dude is there to lead the team of detectives who are too busy screaming like little girls and falling down "Plop" to solve the string of murders. Murderous turtle - dead. Murderous monk - dead. Murderous head of some agency - dead. Murderous got too tired of taking notes and lost track - dead.

Dude goes walkabout to solve these murders. Survives the Nanxun poisonous blood alliance, twice, figures out a casino game that isn't at all based on math and takes the casino for mega-cash, charms snakes that come from spider eggs, fights and beats the unicorn wolves and meets a sexy little cross-dresser princess who hides her 36D boobies in a snazzy jacket. Happily ever after? But wait!!!! The unicorn wolf horn is charging the dead ghost bracelet. Dude's home planet gets word of him. To kill or to save, that's for someone else, clearly not the author, to find out. We end on a happy note with dude flirting with his little cross-dresser and scandalizing or titillating the local aunties.

I can't help but think that if I could just get a solid translation for "catch the head", this book would reveal itself to be a work of staggering genius. And although you might think that the farts and the hookers and the turtles and the unicorn wolves and the poisonous blood alliance and the stacked princess points toward a teenage boy author, I have figured out the secret. He slipped and talked about Jedi galaxies. Ladies and gentlemen and Adults!, I present George Lucas, with his nose like a dangling.

Interstellar super explorer: star explorer was a treat... It's made reading anything else feel so easy and enjoyable.

Plot synopsis under spoiler tags in case anyone else wants to partake in this particular joy.

Ji Feiyu has landed on planet X while fleeing from the Supergalactic Agency he works for. It's never made clear why he is fleeing and there are occasional scenes through the book of them chasing him.
He is almost immediately attacked and has to 'elbow hammer' his way out the situation. He's accused of murder, then given 2 days to solve it. A prostitute in a brothel is the victim. Someone at the brothel is repeatedly referred to as a turtle, but with some creative use of google translate and urban dictionary I think he is actually meaning a stupid person (or a cuckold...). Eventually (after spending 2 days in a bookshop) he announces the 'turtle' is the murderer. The 'turtle' bites a poison capsule and explodes, poisoning everything he touches in the process.

We then move on to a murder at an Inn while Ji is leaving that area. In the process of investigating this, he accuses someone (the names aren't even consistent) and plays a flute to prove he did it with poisonous snakes. All the snakes come out and attack everyone in sight and will go on to attack the whole town. Ji is injured and a mysterious blue god figure appears and rescues him. Somehow this transforms into him finding multiple bodies in a secret chamber under a monk's bed, some of which are headless. All the headless bodies belong to a particular tribe and are being used to incubate tiger venom snake eggs. This is a plot by the Big Bad of the book and we have a few scenes of them talking to each other about how they are going to get Ji.

Mixed into the last 75% the author has realised that every good book has a love interest (or at least a female character). So the blue god turns out to be a bit character that we met earlier in a casino, but is actually the Emperor's daughter who has 36D boobs. We know this because it is mentioned every time she is, so it must be a vital plot point (right?!?). They go into the woods to investigate what has happened to the bodies now they have been discovered and find that some have been stolen (to get back the eggs), but while they are investigating they are attacked by unicorn wolves, which are exceptionally vicious. Somehow Ji manages to fit with the girl on his back to protect her and the fight ends after he throws pearls through the wings of the owl that is controlling the wolves.

The book then finishes with Ji and the character that attacked him at the start both saying that they will solve the murders in a few days and going off to do this.

Ji Feiyu was apart of the Galaxy Security Action Bureau until he wasn't. Follow along as we solve a murder, spend time in a bookstore, avoid snakes and look at mysterious symbols. This book is a poorly translated adventure
