My Thoughts on Professor Moriarity Wants to Retire
"Professor Moriarity Wants to Retire" is definitely a unique read, especially if you're a fan of Sherlock Holmes with a taste for the bizarre. The premise alone hooked me: Moriarty, tired of the whole crime consultant gig, tries to peace out of England and ends up knee-deep in cosmic horror and, well, a significant physical transformation. It's a wild ride, and so far, I'm enjoying the chaos.
First Impressions
The initial chapters are a whirlwind. Moriarty's personality is noticeably different from the calculating mastermind we know, but I found this interpretation refreshing. He's quirky, a bit unhinged (understandably, given the circumstances), and surprisingly charming. The story throws you right into the action, with Moriarty's plans for a quiet retirement hilariously derailed by a Goddess and a whole lot of eldritch shenanigans.
What Works Well
The blend of genres is surprisingly effective. The mystery element is present, but it's intertwined with adventure, comedy, and a healthy dose of Lovecraftian horror. The writing is solid, and the author does a great job of creating a sense of unease and wonder as Moriarty navigates this new, utterly bonkers reality. I also appreciate the protagonist's calm and cautious nature. It's a nice contrast to the madness unfolding around them. The master-servant relationship is also shaping up to be quite interesting.
Areas of Concern
While the story is engaging, I can see how some readers might find the numerous references a bit overwhelming. A familiarity with Cthulhu Mythos definitely enhances the reading experience.

Final Verdict
Overall, "Professor Moriarity Wants to Retire" is a promising and entertaining read. If you're looking for a fanfiction that dares to be different, with a dash of cosmic horror and a gender-bent Moriarty, this might just be your cup of tea. I'm eager to see where the author takes this story, and I'm definitely sticking around for the ride. I'd give it a solid 4 out of 5 stars.
