God of Crime is a popular novel that blends Action, Drama, Mystery and more. Written by the author Han Yeoul. A total of 166 chapters have been translated and the novel is complete.
Seo Tae Hyuk, jailed after being falsely accused.
He will be executed without being able to prove his innocence.
When he opens his eyes, it’s 15 years in the past?
And he’s being possessed by a demon mirror!?
💡 The Anti-Hero Dilemma. The title is slightly misleading. Seo Tae Hyuk doesn't become a "God of Crime" to hurt people; he uses the skills of a thief, an assassin, and a con artist to enact a brand of justice that the law can't touch. It’s a fast-paced "Vigilante" story where the MC operates in the shadows, fighting fire with fire.
"He was framed for a murder he didn't commit and executed. Now, back in time, he realizes that to catch a monster, you have to become a bigger monster—with better skills."
*166 chapters of tension, skills, and a finale that will leave you wishing for 50 more. Complete—but prepare for an 'axed' ending.*
Ch. 1–30 (The Mirror's Awakening): ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ – Excellent Hooks. The MC’s desperation to save his family from their tragic fates is palpable. The introduction of the "Skill" system—where he literally "buys" criminal abilities—is addictive and well-explained.
Ch. 31–100 (The Vigilante Arcs): ⭐⭐⭐⭐ – High Stakes. The "Hippo Case" and early investigations are genuinely psychological and thrilling. The interaction between his "God of Crime" persona and the police creates a tense, Death Note-lite atmosphere.
Ch. 101–165 (The Final Stretch): ⭐⭐ – Rushed Realities. As many reviewers noted, the ending feels "axed." The author suddenly accelerates the plot, jumping from local crime to international mafia wars and a "Ghost of the Past" arc in a way that leaves dozens of side characters and subplots completely unresolved.
