After reading it, I realized that Tomato's books are rarely good. This isn't one of those invincible, simplistic novels; it has elements of both the imperial court and the common people. The plot doesn't rely too heavily on plot devices; instead, it uses interpersonal skills and a bit of wisdom to solve problems. The story unfolds gradually, and the protagonist slowly matures.
I wonder how many people were tricked into reading this by the author's synopsis. This isn't a fantasy novel about immortality at all; it's a story about a nobody struggling to survive in the lower rungs of officialdom.
It's really well-written, and it portrays human relationships and social dynamics quite well. However, it's a fantasy martial arts story focused on immortality and money-making. I hope the author can move beyond the prison guard theme and write something bigger.
It's so good! I love reading it. It's the first time I've seen such a novel theme. It's so much better than the clichéd, feel-good novels on Tomato. The writing is smooth. The protagonist's character is unique but likable. He's an ordinary person with a longevity buff but no martial arts lineage, so he can't practice martial arts. He works at the bottom and handles complex interpersonal relationships with ease. Alas, aren't we all just little prison guards living our lives?
Although it's about clinging to immortality, it doesn't mean detaching oneself from the mortal world. He enters the inner chamber, and remains very clear-headed. The plot is full of twists and turns. A very good book.
The author is amazing! The plot is top-notch, the depiction of court intrigue is quite profound, and the plot devices are reasonably well-developed. In fact, the biggest plot device is the protagonist's wisdom and shrewdness.
I think it's alright, why are the comments so full of calls for war and violence? The more you write, the worse it gets. The scheming in the prison is unavoidable, but you write about that stuff all the time. What about your martial arts? You don't even mention them anymore.
The author's writing is meticulous and methodical, and even the supporting characters are brought to life. Every event, seemingly trivial in the realm of fiction, is written with such depth that it's captivating. The author truly demonstrates skill. 👍 This is one of the few good books I've read from Tomato Publishing.
The plot is grounded in reality, and the content is detailed and solid. Some novels are full of characters punching and kicking certain sects, with the protagonist possessing a halo of invincibility, rapidly increasing their cultivation level, magical treasures and elixirs falling from the sky, and beautiful women constantly by their side.
This book is good; at least it makes you want to keep reading. If it's a slow-burn type of book, then the synopsis is a bit problematic. However, in this environment where fast-paced, action-packed novels are all the rage, a story that doesn't feature a protagonist with superpowers and rampages for over ten chapters will probably get a lot of flak.
