Description
Reality…will swallow you. Ye Xiao, the criminal investigator whose hobby is eating and who never knows how to read the atmosphere, encounters an unimaginable case. As usual, there is a dead body from a homicide case. But what is slightly different this time is that— They find the deceased’s own, destroyed hands in his stomach. Exactly how much pain had he endured to die by eating his own hands? This is not the only strange mu*der case. And behind all the cases is the same hidden figure… Like this, Ye Xiao and his partner, Su Mu, start to carry out the investigation. It’s just that Ye Xiao’s cold colleague, who looks unfazed even when encountering mysterious events, seems to be…pretty strange too?

My Thoughts on The Real Awakening
"The Real Awakening" caught my eye with its blend of detective work, supernatural elements, and a touch of the psychological. After diving in, I can see why it's garnered a solid 4.3/5 rating. It's a gritty, engaging read that definitely isn't for the faint of heart.
First Impressions
Initially, I was drawn in by the classic detective webnovel premise: a pair of cops solving crimes. The first volume introduces us to Ye Xiao and Su Mu as they tackle a particularly gruesome case. It's not groundbreaking, but it sets the stage well, establishing the dark and often disturbing tone that permeates the story. I immediately appreciated the author's willingness to delve into the macabre.
What Works Well
The strength of "The Real Awakening" lies in its characters and the mysteries surrounding them. Ye Xiao, with his easy-going, sometimes annoying personality, provides a compelling contrast to the cold and calculating Su Mu. Their dynamic, while initially ordinary, has plenty of room to grow, and I'm eager to see how their relationship evolves as the series progresses.
I also appreciate the author's commitment to exploring dark themes. The cases are not sugar-coated; they're gritty, bloody, and often disturbing. This commitment to realism, coupled with the supernatural elements, creates a unique and immersive reading experience.
Areas of Concern
One aspect that I found a bit frustrating was Ye Xiao's initial disbelief in the supernatural, despite encountering clear evidence of it. While it's understandable that he might be in denial, it sometimes felt a little contrived. However, this didn't detract too much from my enjoyment of the overall story.

Final Verdict
Overall, "The Real Awakening" is a compelling and well-written detective webnovel with a dark and supernatural twist. While it may not be for everyone due to its mature themes and gruesome content, those who enjoy gritty mysteries with complex characters and a touch of the supernatural will find plenty to love here. I'm definitely hooked and eager to continue reading as the translation progresses.
