My MC is a freaking ninja. And I don't mean the dorky Naruto ninja, I mean the original definition of ninja in feudal Japan, which was basically the Japanese word for "spy."

As such, she specializes in gathering information. She doesn't exactly specialize toward crime solving, but her skill set could likely be entirely transferable in that direction.

Maybe? She's reasonably intelligent and curious.

Sim, ela é uma Mary Sue de 500 QI canonicamente. A questão é se eu sou inteligente para desenvolver isso... Em teoria, ela é o ápice do detetive.

Heavens no, they’ll probably have a mental breakdown trying to investigate the witnesses, overcompensate for the social anxiety by antagonizing the suspects, and scare some innocent soul into confessing

Do you know Philip from Kamen Rider W? My MC has that same power, she can access a library of infinite knowledge and just look it up.

Combine with the fact that she's very observant, she would make a great detective.

I'd assume you mean my current one. Aise is... mature but not overly smart in and of himself. "I have a party of 7 people, let's raid this military fort by walking in the front gate!" is one of his go-to tactics.

that said, he surrounds himself by people with better specialties. so on his own? no. with a partner? quite likely.

I think so. All my MCs are relatively smart. One of them does in fact solve a mystery in story.

My MC is a pretty good Detective when she puts her mind on it.
Well, all of the cases I wrote are related to her (and the first one is pretty much impossible to resolve for any character that is not involved in the murders).

Depends, kinda split down the middle with the logical side of What, When, Where and How, absolutely would piece together a mystery, she likes puzzles.

But on the Why or Who questions, absolutely not, negative social skills and ability to read people, would establish the killer by pure freak luck if anything with the motive guess being "Maybe they thought it'd be funny."
