It's not enough. I hope there will be a second part. The author's writing style is very good, because it is written in the background of the Republic of China, and the dialogues between the characters are very interesting and have a strong sense of immersion. The characters are also created very well. Needless to say, the male protagonist is witty, calm, chivalrous and courageous, but also very down-to-earth. The deputies Ren Qianli, Wu Qingxian, and Zheng Mao all have their own personalities, and even some very small characters are portrayed with flesh and blood. Every case is also very exciting, not just a running account, full of details and twists. Single male protagonist, no female protagonist, no CP, the male protagonist has a girlfriend in the background, but there is no emotional line ink, the focus is on solving the case, five-star recommendation!
It's very good, the logic is clear, the details are traceable, the writing is very good, and they are all cases, without boring emotional lines. Although the protagonist has a girlfriend, it is completely background. Her name does not necessarily appear once in each case. I hope the author will publish a sequel, and I can write endlessly.
The most interesting thing about this book is that it uses a lot of Beijing dialect, which made it particularly interesting for me to read it while living in Beijing. I always feel that the writing style of this book is a bit like Sherlock Holmes. I don't know if I feel right.
I generally don't like reading novels with the background of the Republic of China, but this one is very interesting. It doesn't add some big background such as politics or the like, and it doesn't have a greasy plot about the male protagonist and the female protagonist. It also doesn't have the background of the male protagonist, Long Aotian, etc. It just solves the case cleanly. The causes and consequences of the case are clearly explained, and there is no open ending for readers to think about. The whole story is very comfortable to watch, a bit like the Six Serious Cases. The description of the customs and customs of old Beijing is a plus. The author's writing style is good and the descriptions are vivid, allowing the style of old Beijing to be displayed in front of readers inadvertently.
The story of suspense and puzzle solving, with the customs and customs of old Beijing as the background, is very interesting. Although it is not a strict case-based reasoning type, the plot development is "unexpected and reasonable". The character of the protagonist, the detective, is good, and there is no CP to entangle, so it is suitable for readers who don't like to watch emotional dramas.
The writing is smooth, each unit case is not long, but the stories are well told.
It contains the customs and customs of the Republic of China. As I read it, I dreamed of going back to Peiping in the Republic of China. There were all kinds of love, hate, and worldliness in the case.
Super pretty! Please continue!
Not enough! Still unfinished! When will the second, third and Nth part be released? Looking forward to the showdown in five years!
The writing is very good, why is the rating so low?
