1. Introduction

In 1902, in the Lemoyne state, he successfully hunted the stone man Nun Yunuvi and obtained the special card "hard as stone".
In 1910, New Hanwei Nuozhou, hunting the banshee siren, [powerful flesh and blood]! Hard as stone! Start up!
Fight fiercely all night, fail, and get the special card "lumbar muscle strain", which can be upgraded to "lumbar disc herniation"
This is the western part of the United States of America in 1899, far away from civilization and deserted.
Vampires, werewolves, banshees, and piranhas roam the wasteland and can turn your internal organs into external organs in the blink of an eye.
Seriously, you were born in the wrong time and place.
2. Plot, characters and writing level
The plot contains two lines, light and dark. The light line is about the upgrade of the demon hunter, and the dark line is about investigating the hidden truth of the original body.
In terms of characters, the author intends to adopt a tough guy style, which complements the subject matter and background.
The author's writing skills are excellent, and his sense of atmosphere and pictures are quite good.
3. Highlights
I have been interested in the Western Shadow theme for a long time. Basically, I have to give it a try as long as I have some exposure to it. For authors with certain potential (@北海 Mujing), I will even ask if it is a Western Shadow theme every time I open a new book. However, the few books I have found so far are of decent quality, and the remaining ones basically fail to grasp the scale of reality and extraordinary. Either they are overly realistic and become historical novels, such as "The New Gods of North America" (this book is actually quite good);
The overall look and feel of this book is impressive: First of all, the theme of the Western Phantom is right in my personal sweet spot, with gangsters, duels, aboriginals, canyons, train robberies, gold rushes, hurricanes, voodoo... For readers who are tired of traditional online novel themes, the above elements are undoubtedly attractive; secondly, the flavor of this book is relatively pure, and both monsters and extraordinary abilities are in line with the American style, which is different from the perfunctory and game-heavy, only reskinned Compared with other novels, the reading experience is not the same; again, the author shows a very thoughtful plot plan at the beginning. The secret of the protagonist's original identity, the sacred hunting ritual and other heavyweight hooks are unfolded one after another, mixed with the current real-time plot of fighting against monsters. People can't help but look forward to the subsequent development of the story. Finally, this book better reflects the wild west style, and the life and death showdown between tough guys and monsters makes people hooked.
