This book is more exciting than Ma Xiaohu's The Cheating Man
It feels very good, the plot is twists and turns, and the story is fascinating. I hope the author will continue to work hard and dedicate wonderful things to readers.
The thought is quite delicate, the words are appropriate, and the writing is good, but it is written slower. Of course, as a reader, I hope it will be faster. However, being fast also has the advantage of being able to write a long paragraph in one go, so as not to miss out on inspiration!
When I first read this book, I felt that many of the plot designs were similar to Ma Xiaohu's "The Old Man", so I criticized it sharply. However, as I continued reading, I found that there are many different places. After reading more than 70 chapters (the chapters are a bit exaggerated, many times, half a sentence occupies a line, a word occupies a line, and there is a blank line between each line, which is a bit ruffian), the overall feeling is that the writing is still very exciting. Ma Xiaohu and Ma Xiaohu each have their own strengths Delete the "one star" in the previous review and change it to "five stars".
A nice serialized novel
Very exciting, super exciting
Although exaggerated, it is acceptable. It's not as exaggerated as what other authors wrote, like an anti-Japanese drama.
A very wonderful work
I have never been so serious about writing a composition!!! The story of this book is not procrastinating and the conception is rigorous. Although there are no gorgeous fighting scenes, it is still enjoyable to watch. I think the excellence of this book lies in the fact that it is both sentimental and righteous, as well as heroic in its ability to become a hegemon. At the same time, the writing style of this book is also very simple, which also shows the author's maturity and stability. A mature and steady person can naturally produce a mature work. Certainly! There is no perfect person or thing in the world. This book also has its own limitations, but that still does not prevent it from becoming a good classic work.
Wonderful and beautiful
