April 12, 2025Sha Qing
Official English Title: Killer of Killers
Official English Publisher: Rosmei
Length: 93 chapters (3x books planned)
3rd Person POV
DNF @ 10%
Leo Lawrence (MC, FBI agent) is a very rigid and boring character. He spends most of the time having a crush on his sister’s boyfriend Li Biqing. I wanted more time focused on the serial killer ‘Sha Qing’ and delving deeper into the crimes.
So yeah for a danmei crime thriller I’m just not finding it very thrilling. It made me wish I was reading ‘Wine and Gun’ by Mengye Mengye instead because it’s far superior to this.

No puedo creer que me haya metido a leer esta historia.
Desde el principio me encantó como se iba desarrollando toda la trama y llegué al capitulo 71... Sí, no lo terminé. Pero no lo terminé porque con todo el RESPETO la autora se cagó en Leo.
Para mi, Leo estaba siendo un gran personaje y me encantaba que tuviera unos principios tan fuertes sobre la justicia, me gustaba un montón que también tuviera problemas "mentales" puedo seguir diciendo las razones por las que me gustaba Leo pero ya no vale la pena porque lo que hizo la autora con Leo no tiene perdón. Habría seguido la historia por Sha Qing pero no quiero seguir perdiendo mi tiempo Y SEGUIR leyendo como arruinan el personaje de Leo. Ya sé como termina y tal y ah, estoy muy decepcionada.
Si quieres leer algo que tenga angst, adelante o si solo quieres conocer a Sha Qing, también lee. Pero advierto que es un recorrido y un final agridulce para nada satisfactorio.
Por favor lean las advertencias.

From the title alone, The Killer of Killers, you’d expect intense, gruesome scenes. But instead, it’s more like “...and then he died.” I didn’t feel any of the horror or suspense I experienced when reading Silent Reading or Kaleidoscope of Death.
My issues don’t end there. Leo and the killer he’s trying to bring to justice—a person he obsesses over daily—interact more like a school bully and a top student with a flirt/fight dynamic. I dropped this at 28% because I wasn’t willing to waste any more time. This novel literally put me to sleep. Twice.
Luckily, I got to read it before buying it blindly.
Would I recommend it? No.

Read trigger warnings before reading!!!!
"In my heart lives a demon, please turn into a rose vine and bind it forever."
The premise of this story is super interesting and it is what initially captured my attention. I have not read many 'dark' romances so a plot like this was very new to me. I think it could have been an amazing story. The first half was really captivating and fun to read. Then once it started to slow down towards the end of the story.
There are multiple issues with this book. First the blaring issue you can find in the trigger warnings, but also the authors pacing was off. I think this book would have benefitted with more chapters including the main characters relationship rather than the amount of chapters in that one place at the end of the book. Their relationship was not fleshed out as much as it could have been, and it felt a little strange that Leo even liked Sha Qing? There really wasn't much of a reason for him to fall in love with Sha Qing. The main couple definitely needed more chemistry bc them being together did not make much sense.
Multiple points of the story didn't make much sense, but most of them were minor things you could ignore.
I'll be completely honest there is only two reasons why I rated this 3.75 and not lower,
1. I actually really like Sha Qing,,, listen I know he's a serial killer but hear me out...
2. I started reading this story around 1-2 years ago and have been waiting for the translation to finish for so long that I feel like I put so much time into this book that I have to rate it higher.

I really wanted to enjoy this, but I couldn't. The novel started off pretty good and exciting, actually. However, it couldn't keep me hooked as the story progressed. The author had really good plot ideas. They could have been executed better.
There were a few things that the author didn't explain, plus a few things that just didn't make sense. For example: (1) The author didn't explain how that lawyer knew that Sha Qing was arrested. (2) Daniel received the notification for the bank transaction made by Yuvre (or whatever his name was). If they were being prey for the hunters on some island, how were they even allowed to have cell phones? It just doesn't make any sense. (3) There were not many details about Sha Qing's past. A little more detail could have been better.
For the two main characters - Sha Qing and Leo. They were like, okay. Their chemistry was okay. Ah, how I wished their chemistry to be deadly and crazy... but, anyway... Towards the end, that particular rape incident left a bitter taste. The FBI agent was like, "I know what I did was a mistake, but I'm not going to say sorry for that." And I was like, WHAT? Anyway... A sorry couldn't be enough for what he did. But yeah, Sha Qing forgave him.
Yup, this has a happy ending, and they are living happily ever after, which I couldn't care less about.

No sé si alguna vez se han topado con este meme del ex-presidente argentino, Alberto Fernández, en donde mira a la pantalla completamente impactado. Bien, así me siento yo tras haberle puesto fin a esta historia.
Tal vez, lo más prudente sería hacer la reseña una vez que mi cerebro haya procesado todo de forma crítica; sin embargo, dentro de poco, seré una Angeline universitaria y los universitarios son conocidos por contar con poco tiempo para, pues, vivir. Por lo tanto, trataré de expresar mis pensamientos del modo más coherente que mi intelecto actual permita.
La premisa de Sha Qing es sumamente interesante. Promete un romance entre un agente del FBI, de nombre Leo, y un asesino serial que se dedica a cazar a otros asesinos seriales, el dichoso Sha Qing por el cual he estado atormentando a todos mis conocidos —me disculpo por las personas a las que les habré hecho spoiler—. Uno se pregunta cómo florecerá una relación entre ambos, puesto que sus principios no podrían ser más dispares entre sí y, como he repetido hasta el cansancio, es difícil convivir con alguien cuyos ideales son totalmente opuestos a los tuyos. Tarde o temprano, estas proyecciones que se tienen sobre la sociedad y la vida en sí colisionarán.
¿Cómo me sentí yo cuando eso pasó? ¡Ja, terrible, por decir poco! Me estresé una vez y me estresé otra vez. Mi cariño siempre se vio inclinado hacia Sha Qing, desde los primeros capítulos de la novela, y, si bien reconozco que sus métodos no son éticos, ya sabemos que yo veo las banderas rojas de color verde si el personaje me cautiva. Aceptemos una verdad innegable: Sha Qing cargó esta novela en su espalda. Si hubiese habido otro protagonista con la misma moral absurda de Leo, lo más probable es que mi calificación sería más baja o no habría terminado el libro de plano. Te amo, Sha Qing. Eres divino. No importa lo que digan.
Mencioné a Leo, así que aprovecho la oportunidad para insultarlo de nuevo: hijo de la desgracia, eres más denso que el osmio. Había cosas que resultaban obvias —por amor a Jungkook, se recalcaban un mínimo de setenta y cinco veces en la historia— y Leo nada de que veía más allá de su nariz. Citando a mi querida Milagros: «Deja de romper las bolas. ¿No hiciste lo suficiente ya, pelotudo?». Al comienzo de Sha Qing, sí, admito que Leo me agradaba, pero él mismo se ganó mi desprecio por un capítulo en concreto. Terminé de leer con un sabor amargo en la boca porque, si bien Sha Qing quiere ser la inspiración del nuevo álbum de Mitski y Lana Del Rey, yo no soy él y a Leo jamás podría perdonarlo.
Por lo que respecta a la trama, los casos fueron interesantes. Los motivos de algunos asesinos fueron despreciables, pero al mismo tiempo fue un aspecto que le añadió realismo a la novela porque existe gente así y peor en el mundo. La narración de la autora fue magnífica. Logré leer los primeros 59 capítulos en español y a veces me quedaba releyendo los párrafos pensando en lo bien que escribía.
En conclusión: le habría dado 5 ✩, pero Leo arruinó un tanto la cosa para mí —nuevamente: fucking Leo—. Mi veredicto final es de 4,5/5. Todos sabemos que yo trataría a Sha Qing mejor.
PD. Qué buenos gustos musicales tiene la autora. Hubo mención a Tyler, the Creator.

Muchas veces ves que todos leen los mismos libros, pero hay una vena rebelde en ti que quiere leer algo más y de repente, una página te recomienda una novela no tan conocida, AN AMAZING ENEMIES TO LOVERS, sobre un agente del FBI y el asesino en serie que apunta a los asesinos en serie que persigue y dicen que es lo mejor han leído...
Y de pronto se despierta su interés; caes y caes fuerte; ¡Tanto que terminas ignorando el resto porque es MUY BUENO!
Referencias excelentes a videojuejos como Rule of Rose o Silent Hill... o a hechos de nuestra era moderna como la partida épica de ajedrez del Deep Sea Blue vs los mejores jugadores del mundo ajedrecista y vemos como aplica este razonamiento la autora para podre armar a sus casos sobre los asesinos en serie...
Nos intruce a peleas entre mafias, seres del bajo mundo, con problemas pero con sus propio modo de pensar y velar por sus intereses... demostrando que el mundo pueder ser una terrible influencia para nosotros...
Nos entrega personajes descarnados, astutos, con diversos matices y colores, problemas oscuros y profundos, defninitivamente más reales...
Los elementos de análisis del comportamiento y psicología criminal son brillantes. Me gustaría hablar más sobre cada aspecto, pero sería un spoiler. Odio los spoilers.
Créanme cuando digo que esta historia es fascinante, la química de los personajes principales es tan intensa que temí que mi DRIVE colapse varias veces, personajes secundarios bien desarrollados a lo largo de la novela, llenos de giros y vueltas, obtienes algunos indicios de ellos, algunos personajes completamente inesperados y moralmente grises que a veces son un doloroso recordatorio de lo que realmente se ha convertido la justicia en este mundo.

3/5. The main storyline took approximately 10 days to conclude. However, I encountered difficulty finding the translated extras, and MT proved to be cumbersome to navigate. My immersion in the story was often disrupted by stereotypical portrayals of certain characters, which detracted from its overall quality.
The author draws inspiration from popular American police procedural shows, influencing the depiction of various factions and demographics within the story. While the narrative exhibits promising elements, it would benefit from a nuanced approach to character representation.
In the event of an official English publication, I strongly recommend enlisting the expertise of a sensitivity reader and a culturally competent writer to support both the translator and the author. The dynamics between the two main characters, Leo and Sha Qing, are a highlight, showcasing intellectually stimulating interactions. Despite Sha Qing's role as a serial killer, his character is compelling. However, Leo's characterization is marred by a particular rape scene, which significantly impacted my perception of him. This incident leaves a regrettable impression of him. Leo's actions undermine his credibility and render him a hypocritical figure. No matter what he did after I do not like him. On a side note Sha remember “an eye for an eye”.
Ultimately, Leo is hypocritic, failing to reconcile his actions with his purported beliefs. Despite this, I recognize the untapped potential of exploring this a lot more, particularly in delving deeper into Leo's character and exploring themes of hypocrisy.
TW ra**, child abuse, se**** abuse, death, parental loss, blood, and dis\memberment. These elements are pervasive throughout the narrative, characteristic of the police procedural serial killer genre.

Mystery ✔
Great plot✔
Enemies to lovers who try to outsmart (kill?) each other while having interactions that will make you blush because it is so freaking HOTTTT✔✔✔✔
Sometimes, you see everyone is reading the same books but there is rebel streak in you that wants to read something else. Suddenly, a stranger in a discord server recommends a not-so-well known novel, AN AMAZING ENEMIES TO LOVERS, about a an FBI agent and the serial killer who targets serial killers he is chasing, and they say it is the best thing they have read... And even though translation is not complete your interest is piqued. And you fall, you fall hard; so much that you end up mtl-ling the rest of it because it is SO DAMN GOOD!!!!
My mind has been completely blown away.
The behavioural analysis and criminal psychology elements are brilliant. I would like to gush more about every single aspect of it but it would be a spoiler. And I hate spoilers. Just believe me when I say this story is riveting, the main characters chemistry is so hot to the extent that I was afraid my Kindle was going to combust, well flesh out supporting characters throughout the novel, full of twists and turns, some you get hints of them, some completely unexpected, morally gray characters who are a painful reminder at times of what justice really has become in this world, and a very satisfying ending.
Last extra made me choke up at the end. I am so glad I found Sha Qing! Thank you dear stranger in the discord server!!!

I really really wanted to love this so much... I just couldn't. First is the characters themselves. Peaple were always saying how much tension they have but I didn't feel any of that at all.. The plot would've been great but the execution?? And next is Sha qings feelings themselves.. honestly I don't feel like he loved Leo at all and was just using him to further his plans.. at most it was admiration.. and for him to use Leo even after knowing his deepest fear was a shitty move.. Imagine if he had died, I don't think Leo would have recovered and actually i just think this should have been a tragedy. There's nothing compatible about the two of them. It doesn't even make sense. Ntm what Leo did to him in prison..

it's like a death note AU where Light ends up with L instead of "dying pathetically to his own hubris". the cases are not as intricate compared to the ones in 破云 and 默读 but the serial killer x detective trope is always a good time lmao. the ending was a tad bit too happy and idealistic (and predictable!) and many other plot points in the book seem too outrageous and convenient, like they were just there for the protagonists to have some sort of "plot armour". oh but something really refreshing about this book that i enjoyed and wish more danmei books will adopt too is that

Ugh I loved this book😫 the perfect mix of everything I like in a book, extreme sexual tension, ACTUAL enemies to lovers, enemies who wont hold back on physically harming each other while making out, psychological aspects, crime and serial killer x fbi!! UGHHH

I thought romanticised rape was bad, but now I think I hate deliberate rape "as punishment" that the rapist feels no guilt over even worse. Story was really excellent cat-and-mouse up to this point -- author ruined it for nothing.
