This has a very interesting premise, but sadly the overarching plot points feel very disjointed. None of the events feel connected, even though the story repeatedly tells you that they are. The FL is actually a super fun character. It's nice to have an FL who is both strategic and witty. The ML is...interesting? His night personality is cliche, but it's kind of fun to see how unhinged he is. The day personality is also cliche, albeit a cute one, but you practically never see it. They do hint that the FL and ML have gone through similar bad experiences in their childhoods, but it's lots of hinting and not much telling. Hopefully, that point would be expanded on in the future. The magic system in this world is fairly interesting, but you only learn a bit about one facet of it, jewel magic. (The pun wasn't intended, haha) The concept of using magic via jewels isn't new, but it's an interesting system! The art style is really pretty, and I love how glittery stuff feels. I really wish the plot was more cohesive.
Storyline: 2 years ago...After treating a patient who collapsed in front of my house, patients piled up one after another. Why do they keep getting left at my house? Syrinx, an illegal jewelry craftsman, finds a patient sprawled out in front of her door again…Is this man…the greatest villain in the novel? I’m not a healer!
Syrinx, who was reincarnated into a novel she had read in her previous life, and Heimdal Wespergo, the villain and final boss in the novel, came to her house as a patient.
Syrinx never wanted to get involved with the original characters, but she keeps getting involved with Heimdal…can she keep her back alley business and secretes with this crazy man following her around day and night?
Pros: - Competent FMC with interesting skills and goals for revenge. - The Jekyll & Hyde personality of the MMC and how he gets jealous of his alter ego when the FMC mentions him - Unique setting in the underworld where the villains have their own backstories and ties to the overarching plot.
Cons: - The investigation/action scenes drags on too long.
