Conan: Why Beika Town Feels Like Heaven

Dragonhair
Crossing over to Beika Town — a place where the crime rate utterly crushes Gotham's — is a rather helpless situation. But who says Beika Town must be hell? Here, thirty years pass like three months, granting you virtual immortality. Here, the Suzuki Group shines as an infallible beacon of financial investment. And more importantly... Here, criminals never recant their confessions — unless their lawyer is Eri Kisaki. Here, criminals plead guilty based on circumstantial evidence alone — unless their lawyer is Eri Kisaki. Here, criminals are all flamboyant showmen, masters of putting on a performance. They scatter clues everywhere and still dare to call it a "perfect crime." Here, even when the police arrest the wrong person and lose a case in court, prosecutors only blame their own lack of ability. Here, police achievements can be "carried" by others, marriages are assigned, and even fatal wounds aren’t a concern — death itself is warded off by the Grim Reaper. "Setting aside the one flaw that your career advancement is stuck because of a frozen timeline, this place is a paradise," says Inspector Kiichi Higashino of the Tokyo Metropolitan Police Department’s First Investigation Division.

GlaringError here! As I have already mentioned in my author review I am restating it here since I am getting tons of comments about it, that I am more of a reader myself than a writer, I made this novel in an attempt to capture my fantasy world residing in my mind into words.. Writing is new for me.. The premise of my novel is inspired by many great works that I have loved over the years. And some elements I have in my novel that are slightly similar to them but it's just the skeleton of it, the real meat of the plot is entirely my own cooking. Some of the influence that is more noticeable is from The Runesmith (By Kuropon), The King's Avatar (By Butterfly Blue) and Shadow Slave (By Guiltythree). I have immense respect for these legends and I can only hope to follow in their footsteps. To all those who comment just by judging the name, at least give it a chance before letting your opinions be known. Thank you.
