Execrated?
"Execrated is a high-octane, no-holds-barred action-thriller page-turner.
Straton City is turned upside down when a criminal mastermind unleashes his version of Hell on Earth. Figures of eminence, people with authority, and even the police themselves are not safe from this shadowy figure. The story follows Detective Jane Harlow as she tries to grapple with her demons and uncover the identity of this force of darkness. Can she survive and protect the city she loves? As deception and danger wait at every corner, and a friend is just someone who hasn't betrayed you yet, the table is set—a table for the high-stakes gambit of life and death, of revenge and redemption. Will she be able to save Straton City and the ones she loves, or will she end up just another pawn in this twisted madness unfolding in Straton?"
It's a good first attempt by the author. It starts off a little slow and the narrative is focused on one thing only but I hope that will change in the coming chapters and we will get to see more characters. Honestly, I would recommend people to give it a try. It might have some potential. The story promises action and there isn't much of it in the first few chapters but I can picturize that the author is just setting a tone. I love the dynamic of the main characters I see so far and would love more interactions with the side characters. Worth a try if you are bored by the usual generic trope of leveling up with systems and OP main characters and isekai etc. I love the attempt at realism.
