The protagonist really doesn't like studying! On the first day I joined the Investigation Bureau, I read a few books and ran out to investigate without even knowing the basics. Although he is said to be a civil servant, he is actually more reckless than a reckless person. He doesn't know anything, although there is a possibility of supplementing the settings for the readers. But I don't even know the background of the major esoteric sects. No matter what god you believe in, there are a few holy messengers, and you have to rely on the Flame Esoteric Cult to tell you the basic knowledge. You, a foreigner, work so hard just for money! There is obviously a lot of knowledge and paths in the bureau, but I just don't choose. I choose the core of the secret sect. I know you will definitely become a professional in the later stage.

"Embers of the Old God"-T3 level. Tags of the work: Esoteric Cult, card cheats, multiple identities. Rating: A. The background setting is quite interesting, simple, direct and consistent in style; B. The integrity is currently difficult to evaluate; C. The author's writing is very skillful, clear and can show the charm of the magical atmosphere. A brief review in one sentence: A novel about esoteric religion that you can give it a try but look forward to with caution. 1. Introduction Kingdom News headline: "Recently, through the unremitting efforts of the Ember Investigation Bureau, we finally locked in Lin Jie Leonard, a fanatical secret cult member who is trying to revive the old god. I believe that in the near future, this thug who seduced the saint, blackmailed the king, and beat the pope will die on the gallows. Light will eventually defeat darkness! " The next day, the Kingdom News headline: "Because Lin Jie Leonard, the director of the Ember Investigation Bureau, took the risk to go undercover to the esoteric cult, he repeatedly foiled the esoteric cult's evil plots and saved thousands of lives.

A large number of hiding pagans were arrested and many dens of evil god believers were destroyed, and I was the biggest contributor to this series of events. Because I rebelled - an excerpt from "The Autobiography of Lin Jie: My Years as an Undercover Agent" 2. Plot, characters and writing level The author's plot arrangement should be the highlight of this book. The protagonist's identity design is quite clever. If done properly, it is not impossible to achieve both hands with both hands, not to mention the possibility of deriving funny plots. The character creation in this book tends to be exaggerated, with a high proportion of extreme characters. The author's writing skills are relatively high, which is a plus point for the quality of this book. 3. Highlights The setting of this book is not complicated, but the style of painting is unified and the logic is smooth. The extraordinary elements are concentrated on the theme of ashes, which not only highlights the sense of weight but also highly fits the atmosphere of the esoteric religion. The power system is simple and intuitive, and the promotion ideas are simple but logical. There is no deliberately mysterious packaging, but enough room for development is reserved. The main focus is not to increase the number of entities, but it is enough. In addition, it is worth mentioning that the author's words can maintain a certain degree of appeal despite a relatively monotonous extraordinary structure, which is the best proof of the author's writing skills. 4. Questions ① The protagonist frequently encounters troubles, the threshold for the fate of the gods is not high, and the way to solve problems is slightly rough... These details make the story give people the bad impression of being like child's play; ② The important characters all have outstanding quirks. Although there may be reasonable explanations, it will inevitably destroy the atmosphere and sense of substitution of the work to a certain extent; ③Goldfinger is too simple and crude. The simplicity is reflected in the fact that it is like copying a card game and lacks proper packaging modification. The crudeness lies in the strength super model. The initial function is similar to being immune to all negative states and has top growth and scalability; ④ There is a lack of decisive highlights. The double identity of the protagonist may be considered a possibility but it has not yet been expressed with enough weight.
