This novel is more like a detective novel so far. Note that I've only read one case and am at the second. The setting of this novel takes place in a prison of an isekaied prison guard years after he's been isekaied. In these years, it seems that he became a prison guard due to the familiarity of the job, and he made the prison prosper.Now, why did I say this was a detective novel? Because it feels episodic, someone has a problem that leads to mystery then the detective uses their tools to investigate and solve the problem. Except that the protagonist's tools are his prisoners, making a interesting scenario where the man's socialization skills are how he accesses those tools. These tools can be used both for the investigation and catching the criminal parts, with the catch that as these tools are people, they can be used to betray.I find this idea interesting, and so far, the novel is pretty entertaining with the character interactions as the highlights.
