This is a rare example of a non-brainless, wish-fulfillment story among time-travel novels. The gangsters are actually a reflection of the helpless choices made by the lower classes and the social stratification. The carefree life in the martial arts world is merely a fleeting illusion for the lower classes; courage and cunning are just struggles in the cracks.
I love the author's writing style, especially this kind of urban novel. I finished it in one go and am now waiting for someone to tell me when it's time to finish! I saved up several chapters and read them all at once, only to find out it's on hiatus 🤦. Will it continue writing?
The book is quite good; you can tell the author put a lot of effort into it, which deserves praise.
It's a very good Hong Kong variety show. The setting and plot are excellent and quite logical. The writing is also good. The only drawback is that the plot moves too slowly.
Why is there no lament for the scoundrels?
The conflicts are constant and the show is very exciting.
It's really good; it could be adapted into a film or television series. I feel the title lowers its overall quality.
Although it's a story about gangsters, it has no Hong Kong style at all; instead, it has a Northeastern gangster vibe, especially reminiscent of the style of "Fake Ring".
Very good-looking and worth recommending
Well written, keep it up!
