A refreshing change in the genre of light-hearted fantasy novels.
Why do all the novels written by this master have the surname Gao, bro? 🤭🤭🤭
This is one of the few excellent novels I've read on Tomato Novels. I hope it won't be abandoned!
After looking for a while, it turns out he has X-ray vision. The same jade gambling, the same revitalization of traditional Chinese medicine, the only difference is the protagonist is a middle-aged man nearing fifty. Although he's an older man, it doesn't stop him from sleeping with women: a former model, a beautiful doctor, a kindergarten principal… um! It seems that if he were to be even more promiscuous, there would be many more women waiting for him to sleep with.
Almost 50 years old and with such strong kidneys, how come they're still so powerful?
A middle-aged man. Well described. Even without ability, he tries his best to finish his life story. Even with ability, he clearly understands his own needs. His IQ remains consistently high, except for the occasional impulsive middle-aged man. Not bad at all. 5 Stars. Keep it up! Although 99% of middle-aged men feel helpless, reading a lighthearted novel can still boost one's spirits.
If you didn't join the harem, it would be quite a good watch.
This is a good book that's been let down by its title and cover. The story is highly readable, and the female leads are all vividly portrayed. However, it has two flaws: First, the male lead is mostly seen washing dishes, and the female leads are either married, divorced, or have had ectopic pregnancies, or one is someone else's mistress—none of them are original wives.
Novels of this genre likely have virtually no readership among those born in the 1980s. Give it five stars to encourage me! The timeline differs slightly from the actual situation.
This author is quite insightful and worth reading. However, perhaps 30% of people will enjoy it, 30% will be indifferent to reading it, and the remaining 30% will not read it at all because they are self-righteous.
