Straight out of another LLM. Please name some books in this style, since it seems to be on the tip of your tongue.

    Could you expand on how it's pulp-fictitious? Or noir? Or "rugged" detective? Why the "rugged"? I've never heard of the word "hardboiled" referring to anything but eggs.

      "Hardboiled" is a common term used for a certain genre of detective novel.

      I don't know of any novels, but I do know that Calvin and Hobbes poked fun at this genre in some of the strips.

      I suppose the comic books for Watchmen could fall into this same genre somewhat.
