Editor's review

This book centers on ordinary white-collar worker Jiang Yan: starting from the successive appearance of supernatural ability users around him, it gradually draws out Bureau Nine's deeper investigation of the City of the Lost and the protagonist's recovery of his own memories. Suspense is densely planted and the conspiracy unfolds layer by layer, carrying the typical flavor of urban supernatural suspense. Author Crazy Ivan keeps tight control of pacing, hooking readers from the opening with anomalous events and then expanding the world through Bureau Nine's investigation line, keeping readers and protagonist alike in a state of incomplete information to deepen immersion. Jiang Yan's transformation from ordinary person to awakened memories is the core engine driving the plot. Suitable for readers who enjoy urban weird tales, ability-user organizations, and conspiracy reveals. While reading, pay attention to the links between the appearance of ability users and the protagonist's memory fragments—this is key to understanding the whole picture. Overall it leans toward fast-paced genre fiction, good for concentrated weekend reading; those who prefer slow-burn literary or realistic fiction should choose carefully.

Best for concentrated weekend reading; avoid long gaps that break the suspense chain

FAQ

Is the protagonist an ability user from the start?

No. Jiang Yan begins as an ordinary white-collar worker. After supernatural ability users appear around him one after another, Bureau Nine intervenes to investigate, and he gradually recovers his own memories along the way. His identity shift is an important thread driving the story.

What is Bureau Nine's role in the book?

Bureau Nine is the organization responsible for investigating supernatural incidents in the City of the Lost. As the situation escalates it becomes deeply involved, serving as the key institution linking the various ability users and conspiracy threads; its investigation process forms one of the main narrative lines.

Is the pacing fast, and is it easy to get into?

The pacing is on the fast side, opening with anomalous events and dense suspense that quickly grabs attention. But the first few chapters carry a lot of information, so read several in a row before deciding whether it suits your taste.

About the author

疯狂伊凡 Author

Very little verifiable information is currently available about the author writing under the name Crazy Ivan. Public sources contain no clear record of their real name, nationality, dates of birth and death, or English name, and the existing catalogue includes only one work by this author, The Alien Apostle. Classified as science fiction, the book suggests that the author writes around such themes as future technology, extraterrestrial civilizations, and the human condition. Because this is the only work available for reference, it is still difficult to sketch the full trajectory and style of the author's writing; judged by its title and genre, however, The Alien Apostle is likely to centre on contact between visitors from another world and human society, combining imagination with reflection. For readers, the author remains a name still to be discovered, and more public information is needed to clarify the number of works and the direction of the writing.
