My Thoughts on Artifact Reading Inspector
"Artifact Reading Inspector" promised a unique blend of fantasy and slice-of-life, and for a while, it delivered. The premise of a protagonist gaining the ability to see the past of objects, particularly artwork, was intriguing, and I dove in hoping for a treasure trove of art history and supernatural mystery.
First Impressions
I was immediately drawn in by the concept. Our main character, armed with his newfound abilities, navigating the world of art appraisal and uncovering hidden histories? Sign me up! The early chapters successfully balanced the fantastical elements with a grounded sense of reality, making the world feel believable. It felt like a breath of fresh air.
What Works Well
The novel shines when it delves into the world of art. The descriptions of various pieces, both Western and Eastern, were fascinating, and I appreciated the explanations of forgery techniques and the stories woven behind each creation. If you have any interest in art or artifacts, this novel will likely grab your attention. The protagonist himself is also a strong point. He's confident and capable without being overly arrogant, making him easy to root for.
Areas of Concern
Unfortunately, my enjoyment waned as the story progressed. The pacing felt uneven, with some plot points dragging while others were rushed. The ending, in particular, left me feeling disappointed and confused. It felt abrupt and unresolved, leaving many questions unanswered. The author seemed to have lost steam, and the conclusion suffered as a result.

Final Verdict
"Artifact Reading Inspector" is a mixed bag. While the initial premise and exploration of art history are captivating, the uneven pacing, rushed ending, and questionable plot developments ultimately detract from the experience. If you're a die-hard art enthusiast willing to overlook these flaws, you might find something to enjoy. However, be prepared for a potentially frustrating conclusion. I'd give it a cautious 3 out of 5 stars.
