Generally speaking, I am not very interested in killing people with superpowers, as I am afraid that the protagonist will be too arrogant. But the plot of Balloon Man actually has a little twist and reasoning. Quite fun
An interesting crime story
It was recommended by a netizen. When I saw the three words "Balloon Man", I couldn't help but think of the human-head balloon, a shadow of my childhood. I immediately felt very interesting. Without paying attention, the afternoon passed. The story is very complete, the author's tone is a bit cynical, which fits the protagonist's "outsider" character, and the writing style is a bit green. However, most of the plot arrangements are relatively good, and the first few chapters are particularly interesting. It's a good work.
