For Middle-Aged Readers: Smart Characters, No Goody-Two-Shoes, Decisive and Ruthless, Highly Rated
Urban, System, reborn, fantasy, or gaming novels are all fine, as long as they’re good, the characters are smart, and there’s no saintly protagonist. Bring out any books on your shelf that fit the bill!

Any Stories Set in Republican-Era China About a Patriotic Protagonist Determined to Save the Country?
I want a protagonist who cares deeply about the nation and its people, and is wholly devoted to serving them. Saving the country should come first, with romance as a side plot. I’ve read too many Republican-era novels about talented men and beautiful women. I want to see stories from that era that are about more than love: great figures and martyrs who broke through the darkness in search of the light and feared no sacrifice.

Looking for Stories That Obviously Look AI-Written, the More Ridiculous the Better
There are way too many AI writers nowadays, aren’t there? Not only is the barrier to entry low, but the quality is wildly inconsistent. I feel like they will squeeze many traditional writers out of their room to grow in the future. I guess writers will eventually have to emphasize at the beginning, “Not AI-generated, entirely written by hand.”

Well written and exciting content
Great 👍. It is not easy for a young author (guess) to write about the troubled times of the Republic of China so well. I look forward to more experienced works coming out.
It's a good book, you can understand the good and evil of people by reading it, and people are fickle, so you can't be cautious about others and don't be harmful to others. What goes around comes around. The importance of educating children well at home.
Real, exciting, wonderful and vivid! Even though I know there are fictional elements, it still feels real.
It's very interesting. I haven't seen a book like this in a long time!
It's refreshing and the plot is very coherent. Come on
I hope more people can read such a good story about thieves in the Republic of China. It is obvious that the author can see a lot of things in the story that are usually inaccessible in the article. A lot of information is very interesting and very thoughtful. It is really exciting. Justice will eventually defeat evil. Let us wait and see this wonderful King of Thieves series.
It is very attractive. The author perfectly integrates the main line of creation with the historical conditions and historical figures of the Republic of China period. It can be said to be a rare and good novel. The author works hard, I like you! 👍
Compact/coherent/character description is in place! /It would be perfect if there were more updates!
Finally, I have read the complete text. This book is worth recommending. It has both the righteousness of family and country and the feelings of children. Moreover, although the descriptions of various behaviors of Rongmen are not true or false, there are traces to be found. What is false is true and what is true is false 👍 👍
