This was really enjoyable to read, even without the romance (which, btw, is not necessarily needed for a book to be good). But sometimes there are certain parts where it's getting kinda predictable, and Loki, one of the main characters, has too much resemblance to Sherlock Holmes. But I think it's not that bad, especially since this book is (maybe, I'm not sure) inspired by the series.

Love the scientific approach of the writer in terms of problem solving

If you're an avid fan of murder-mystery novels and loves to make your own deductions thus you take every cases seriously (like me). Then this is not a book for you. But if you just wanna jam with the characters throughout their adventures, I advise that don't take it seriously.

2ND DISCLAIMER: Walang mat-trigger dahil sariling opinion at review ko ito. Kung ayaw niyo sa opinion ko, then stop reading.]
The writing style was okay, may problema lang ako sa mga kulang-kulang na punctuation marks. Massive example nito ay yung mga nakakalimutan na end quotation marks sa (ibang) dialogues. Para sa akin ay nakakairita kasi mar-realize ko na lang na tapos na pala ang sinasabi nung character. It sets off the mood ng pagbabasa.
Sepaking of Dialogues. Sa pagbabasa ko sa librong ito may time na nagc-cringe ako sa sinasabi ng mga "antagonist" sa story. Best example nito ay nung nakidnap si Lorelei at nakasuot siya ng princess gown.
"Your gown is perfect for this game, don't you think? You're like a princess who needs a saviour" -Maggie
Maybe it's just me. Pero parang ang cliché ng dialogue na yan and it's uncanny. Also, sometimes yung ibang mga dialogues (specifically yung kay Loki) it's pushing its way para maging quote, yun yung feeling ko dahil it doesn't comes off natural.
For the Characters. The two MCs (Lorelei and Loki) are fine, dahil nagagawa naman ng writer na bigyan sila ng "mystery" kung ano nga ba ang nangyari sa past nila. Though, hindi ko lang maintindihan kung bakit hindi ako ganoon naging kainteresado sa past nila. There are also times na nakakalimutan ng writer kung ano nga ba ang impression na ginawa niya kay Lorelei. It's like ginagawa niyang vulnerable si Lorelei para maligtas si Loki kahit na nararamdaman ko yung strong personality ni Lorelei. But other than that nakakatuwa ang interactions nilang dalawa
Si Luther at si Maggie naman. I think napaka-one dimentional nila. Yes, we know na si Maggie ay yung parang right hand nito ni Luther, pero yun lang ba talaga iyon? I wish na makita ko siya magbigay ng iba pang emotions at sariling decisions. Para sa akin isa siya sa mga interesting na character kung nad-develop pa siya sa series. Si Luther naman, isa ring one dimensional character. Y'all know why? Dahil nagstick lang tayo sa sinabi ni Loki na "Master Manipulator" siya. Tbh, I don't see him as a threat sa dalawang mc, dahil hindi ko pa nakikita ang mga subtle manipulation techniques na pwede niyang gamitin. But I do see him na "namanipulate" niya si Maggie but I want to see him in action. Maganda sana kung minanipula nalang niya itong si Lorelei na umalis ng Q.E.D Club kung saan muntik-muntik nang pumayag si Lorelei, kung saan magkakaroon ng malaking conflict between the two at doon ipapakilala ni Loki ang kanyang kapatid bilang isang master manipulator. Instead na dukutin si Lorelei dahil wala iyon sa area ng mga manipulators.
Si Rosetta, another one dimensional character. Ano lang ba ang alam natin sa kanya? Well, she's a friend of Lorelei na nakatira sa White Hostel ma kasama sa Paranormal Club. And that's it. So far, wala nang iba.
Same with the police, parang hinahayaan lang nila na sina Loki at Lorelei lang ang maginvestigate sa mga cases. Throughout the 1st book, naisip ko lang na paano kaya kung si Inspector Estrada ay kinukuha lang ang credits ng dalawang bata para mapromote lang siya sa trabaho? Yun ba ang dahilan kung paano siya naging inspector? Idk.
In addition, yung mga mysteries na nandito sa Project Loki ay mabilis ko lang malutas bago pa man ito mailabas. Pero, I somehow enjoyed it kahit na may mga errors dahil I'm intrigued kung ano pa ang mangyayari sa plot. So I'll give it 3 stars 🌟🌟🌟

why are the admins of the school not doing anything about the murders and mysteries in their school 😭 are they unaware of what's happening or do they just not care about their students? and why is there a case almost everyday? minus one star for those unrealistic parts and also bcus jamie annoys me.
+ i know this is fiction, it's not reality, but come on 😑 these high schoolers are solving cases almost everyday and no one's asking why they're allowing students to be involved in solving it. and no one was questioning why there were so much murders in their school. bffr, good book tho 😁😁

AH! YES! FINALLY! Matagal na kitang gustong gawan ng book review!
Loki and Lorelei holds a special place in my heart. I can't help but to re-read it again. The book is action packed, good as a starting point for detective genre. Since day one, anticipated ko na ang mala Sherlock Holmes mystery ng plot. The more I read, the more I learn. HAHA.
I'm halfway volume 2 na. It gets better and better.

Decided to give this a try since I've heard so many good things about it. It's a mystery story and I rarely see wattpad books in that genre plus I heard the author is a fan of Detective Conan so I was more intrigued whether or not this will have the same type of mysteries the anime had.
The main characters and their interaction felt kinda cliche at first but they grew on me anyways as they're likable in their own way. The mysteries are on the simpler side but they're fun to read nonetheless and the biggest mystery with Loki's past is the most interesting. To be honest, with them in uniforms and this being set in school, I was expecting them to have cases like trying to find a thief or something and the murders will be stuff set outside of their school but to my surprise, the suspects and victims of the cases shown are all students from their school. It makes it feel morbid but also fun to read as to how the murders would be done. I'm also glad they explained how the main characters got the answers to the mysteries presented to them as it's really entertaining.
In short, I liked this one and would wanna read the rest.

Loki is basically high school Sherlock. Personality, cunning, approach to social norms, intelligence.
This was a fun read, though! Interesting problem solving scenes, nice puzzles, some scenes were kinda scary tbh so I guess the author did a good job with that--setting the scene and ambiance
Clark High had students being murdered here and there but seems like life goes on???? Students aren't very much affected? Lorelei moves on with life despite seeing a dead body? No trauma whatsoever? But it's fine, I guess I shouldn't be looking for much real-life accuracy here of HS students....Actual police inspectors are asking for a 17 year old's counsel LOL (not saying the youth are incapable, only that police/authorities aren't likely to be welcoming of a teenager's insights into crimes and surpass the former's abilities).
(Wish Loki's less of an annoying git though and that Lorelei is given more personality aside from her daddy issues. But hey! It's only 11 chapters. Surely there'd be nice character development later on.)
Overall fun, would read the volume 2 when my reading schedule's a bit freer 😊

This book was honestly entertaining, especially if you're into mystery or detective stories. It gave me that nostalgic Detective Conan vibe, and as someone who's a huge fan of it, I had fun following the clues, trying to piece things together, and guessing what would happen next.
The writing style is easy to follow and keeps you engaged, and I can see why so many readers enjoyed the mix of mystery, humor, and a bit of drama.
That said, I wouldn't say it's mind-blowing or unpredictable. Some twists were quite easy to catch, and there were moments when I wished the tension was built up a little more. But despite that, it still worked for me, mainly because it didn't try too hard to be overly complex. it's the kind of book you can read for pure enjoyment, where you just sit back and let yourself have fun solving mysteries with the characters.
I initially rated it 3 stars, but the more I thought about it, the more I appreciated the entertainment value and the detective flair that hooked me in. So 3.5 it is! If you're just looking for a good, easy-to-digest mystery that gives you that crime-solving excitement, Project Loki is definitely a solid pick. 🕵🏻♀️

This book keeps being recommended to me by the Wattpad app and my friend that I finally decided to give it a try.
After reading it, I can finally say that it's the type of book that grows on you over time. If you're a fan of Sherlock Holmes and other mystery authors like Dan Brown, this story will be pretty predictable. Most of the cases in the book are very much similar to other mystery stories/movies/series. Overall, it was an okay book for me. The writing was pretty good and I commend the author for being able to pull this off. Clearly, writing this genre required a lot of reading and researching by the author and I think he did a great job in that aspect.

4.5 stars ✨
Unang-una sa lahat, if mahilig ka sa romance, this book is not for you. Pero I can't deny the fact na ang lakas ng chemistry ni Loki and Lorelei dito. 😅 Tsaka okay rin ang writing style ng author dito. Hindi boring kahit na wala rin masyadong comedy. Medyo may pagka interactive rin ng very light kasi nga pati ikaw mapapa-isip kung paano i-solve mga mysteries nila dito. And may mga natutunan ako dito lalo na sa pag decode ng message. Hahaha
If fan ka ng Detective Conan, Detective School Q, or other mystery/detective shows, I'm sure maguhustuhan niyo 'to. Highly recommended! ✨

Hi! I really love this book. i started reading this book since 2020. and i can say that it already became a part of me while growing up. i also discovered it when the pandemic started. and i can say that it was one of the books that helped me by keeping me entertained and distracting me from the said chaos we are facing at that time. i highly recommend this book to those who loves reading a book which has a theme of mystery, thriler, crime, suspense, ect. this book will really test your patience and skills.

Pagbalik sa mga araw na nagbabasa pa lang ako sa Wattpad, ito yung isa sa mga librong hinahangaan ko. Bawat eksena may laman. Parang chess ang tapatan ng mga tao dito dahil may kanya-kanyang strategy yung main characters at mga kontrabida.
For the love of mystery, paniguradong magugustuhan niyo rin ito.

The book who made me love mystery, thriller, detective stories.
worth reading!!
Every cases they solve will alter your brain, will make you think and question, dive into deeper interest as they solve.
