Pure White Devil

With one eye shut and one eye open, he seems to be officially demented. He remembers not his name, but has a vague recollection of the buddy he made a living with — a miraculous left eye. Just by looking at a corpse, the eye could determine its cause of death and its killer (if one exists, that is). Great, he can become “Holmes 2.0”, “Poirot’s Godson”, or “Conan’s Brother”…… He might as well visit the police station and take the civil service exam. But who would have thought the world to change so fast, in the blink of an eye, mu*der was no longer a crime. The “law” had long since departed the world once upon a Halloween over five hundred years ago. The future generation referred to that day as “End of the World”. Of course, humans are always exaggerating. The world was fine, there was no destruction, all that’s destroyed was just the society of mankind. Loud singing befits the dark alley. Revelry belongs in the depth of hell. Amidst the vast wilderness, must exist a Kindler. When all have settled to dust, I will be the King of the world. ————– Prologue of the “Song of the Exile” serialization

## My Thoughts on Pure White Devil Okay, let's dive into "Pure White Devil." This one's been on my radar for a while, and after finally taking the plunge, I've got some thoughts. It's a blend of action, fantasy, mystery, and even a touch of shounen ai, all wrapped up in a post-apocalyptic world – quite the cocktail! ### First Impressions Initially, I was a little lost, and I get the feeling that's intentional. The story throws you right into the thick of things, and understanding the world's rules and terminology feels like a puzzle you have to piece together alongside the main character. It's a bit disorienting, which could be a turn-off for some readers looking for immediate gratification. ### What Works Well What really grabbed me was the gradual unfolding of the plot. The author masterfully doles out information, creating a compelling sense of mystery. The MC's amnesia adds another layer to this, as we're discovering the world and the protagonist's past simultaneously. I also appreciated the unique blend of genres. The supernatural elements, combined with the crime-solving aspect and hints of romance, kept me invested. The power dynamics between the characters also seem intriguing. ### Areas of Concern The initial confusion might be a hurdle for some. If you're someone who needs to understand everything from the get-go, you might find yourself frustrated. The slow burn can be rewarding, but it requires patience. I can see how the initial lack of clarity could lead to some readers dropping it early on. ### ⚠️ Spoiler Warning I'm not going to delve into plot specifics that would ruin the experience for new readers. ### Final Verdict Overall, I'm giving "Pure White Devil" a solid recommendation. While the initial confusion might deter some, the slow-burn mystery, unique genre blend, and intriguing characters make it a worthwhile read. If you're a fan of intricate plots, amnesiac protagonists, and post-apocalyptic settings with a supernatural twist, this might just be your next obsession. Just be prepared to be patient and trust that the pieces will eventually fall into place.
