Regarding whether Sean's first "leapfrog battle" is reasonable
In fact, I didn't want to write about it because I thought "I understand everything." However, some people have repeatedly mentioned this, so I will refute it. There were also comments that were echoed by others and were deleted directly. First of all, in terms of setting, I think that the Jack class cannot touch the Ace class, which is just my imagination. There is no gap between the "Qi Refining Stage" and the "Nascent Soul Stage" at all. I didn't write it that way at all. From the beginning, my setting, whether it was J or A, was in the "human realm", and A did not enter the "god realm". It is more like a "military rank" that reflects personal strength, rather than a "cultivation stage." In addition, what was the process of "taking advantage of the weak" and "defeating the strong with the weak" for the first time? (Spoiler warning below) Sean used his strategy to force the other team to fight with four King-level Aces and one "preparatory Joker" Ace. It took a lot of effort. In addition, his team had four strong Jacks, so he managed to fight without anyone taking advantage... Are you telling me that this is called "the protagonist has an average IQ"? Is this called "unreasonable cross-level three challenge"? I have to work hard and don't have time to argue; but when I see some messages, I can't ignore them. So I will write my reply here, and any other related posts will be deleted directly. Friends, really, I feel that every word I write in this reply is a waste of time, as if I am explaining why the sky is blue and the grass is green... I try to speak as little as possible. It is useless to speak too much, because everyone who understands understands.

I will be very happy when someone writes a good review; when someone writes a negative review, I will also read it and seriously consider whether to adopt it. For the sake of fairness, I will not delete any "negative reviews" in the book review section unless they are malicious attacks on me, the book, or the characters. However, for all the passing book friends who read negative reviews, I want to say that this book was written seriously by me and has been loved by some people, so it is by no means as bad as some reviews say. Some book friends have a "formulated" requirement for stories. Once the story or characters do not follow the preset pattern in their minds, they lose patience and write negative reviews to vent, blocking future potential readers. The content of negative reviews is nothing more than: the protagonist is not a time traveler, there are too many female characters, the protagonist's level-up challenge is unreasonable, the protagonist's early stage is not enough to defy the sky... Etc. Putting aside whether their judgment is reasonable (which is often open to discussion), this behavior is very similar to the defenders of the "eight-part essay" who use their words and deeds to "rigidize" the possibility of novels. However, I won't talk too much about right and wrong here. What I want to say is that there will not be anything in this world that will satisfy everyone. Books have their own style, some people like them and some don't, it's that simple. Therefore, when book friends see negative reviews, it's not that this book has too many negative reviews, but that I just won't delete it. So please don't blindly believe in good or bad reviews and judge based on your preconceptions. If you like this kind of subject matter, you can try reading it. If you don't like it and the instructions don't suit your taste, we have no luck for the time being, and we hope you can find a book you like. If you like it, you can have a good and exciting experience, right? However, I have to reiterate in the end that any negative reviews that maliciously attack the book, the characters, and myself will be deleted. Happy reading!
There are always some people who feel they understand Edison after listening to some stories. Edison was a real inventor and a businessman, but he was not as despicable as in the book. Tesla was praised for being perfect, and the power war is still being discussed almost a hundred years ago.
Reply to book friend's question about "Half Dozen Fangtang"
First of all thank you for reading. The following contains spoilers, readers who have not read the first chapter are advised not to read. First, why does the protagonist believe that Kennedy is Ace-level and that there are not many people in the stronghold? In fact, the protagonist had already fought many times out of thin air before meeting the Kennedy gang. It can be said that before meeting Kennedy, he had almost been fighting against Kennedy. The corpse of the witch, Tom in the Rain, and the Elegiac Twins were actually all traps set by Kennedy. Then, Ken's team used taxis, phone calls, etc. To directly murder Sean, and he used divine feathers to erase a small area of memory. The clues can show two points: first, Ken's strength is about Ace level, and second, the Judas Ring is not a huge organization in New Testament City and does not have enough manpower. With these two points in mind, the subsequent strategic arrangements will be based on this. Moreover, not only that, the later battle proved that the protagonist's judgment was biased: Kennedy was actually a "super Ace" level enemy. If the protagonist, Emperor Ou, had not drawn the "preparatory Joker" level Arthur Merlin to respond to the advanced protection agreement, the scene would probably have been even more ugly. As for the strength gap in JKQA, I repeat once again, this is the "military rank" that reflects personal strength. There is indeed a huge gap between classes, but it is by no means untouchable (such a world is inherently boring). You mentioned the Undercurrent Street. If the levels were completely crushed and unable to breathe, how did the Queen-level Catherine risk her life to stop the Ace-level slave master? As for the arrangement of the Barton family, the Barton family only has such strength. It is already a huge honor to invite Arthur Merlin to the "Advanced Protection Agreement". There is also a King-level royal-marked musketeer in the family, which is already impressive enough. This is not the world view of a family that covers the sky with one hand. With the divine court, it is impossible for such a family to appear... This is their situation of trying to make up for it. In addition, Jess Barton was actually not good at all. He just met Kennedy who was in full condition and was killed instantly. As for you mentioning that you were unhappy with the situation at the end of the first chapter, well, it was obviously not an empty act, but a "knowing that you couldn't do it". In such a situation, it was miraculously satisfying that Sean could still beat Kennedy. As for Aaliyah being temporarily taken away, "frustration" exists in every book. I admit that this frustration may be a little bigger for online readers (I didn't expect this. I think it is difficult for fragile nerves to enjoy the deeper joy of reading. I actually compromised enough. I really want the reader's experience, so I don't want to lose the author's basic judgment just because of being ridiculed and threatened.) However, even Sean did not give up, so why did we viewers give up? I have written so many pages to explain the setting that I have already decided on... I think that only by trusting the author can we have a better reading experience. As for being hurt by things written by other authors before, it was not caused by me. It is unfair to me to doubt me. Friendly book friends, if you have any further doubts, you can join the group and ask me. I will reply when I have time.

The characters are portrayed delicately, and many characters complement some of the movies.

It has more than 1 million words and only 500 collections. There are no eunuchs here, and the reviews are only 10. It must be 5 stars.
not bad
It's worth 5 stars if you watch it for fun, and 3 stars if you watch it seriously with requirements. It feels like the author focused all his energy on the climax.

In this novel, the protagonist has a relatively gentle personality. The overall plot is pretty good. Small flaws include occasional logical inconsistencies in character behavior, as well as heavy traces of online game missions. Overall worth a look.




I currently have no heroine in my progress. In fact, you can tell the elements of this work just by looking at the title. The background is similar to the Second Industrial Revolution (there is an extraordinary version). What's special is that the protagonist is an aborigine and not a time traveler. I personally don't care about this because the author's writing attracted me at the beginning. The protagonist was originally an ordinary reporter, but because his sister lost contact with his family, he came to the capital to look for her. However, he was caught in a strange incident when he arrived in the capital. The author portrayed the atmosphere very well at the beginning, and the plot was also logical, which attracted me to continue reading.




Mystery represents its genre and the background of the modern era. A good novel, worth reading.
