As expected, Tomato's best works are folklore/supernatural and period/urban novels. Well written.
The author has a wide range of interests, including various martial arts styles, characteristics, and lethality, as well as martial arts techniques from the Northeast and those from the South, various mountain spirits and water monsters, and the slang and jargon of Northeast bandits. The fight scenes are exquisitely detailed, and the plot is intricate and vivid, making it a very exciting novel.
I wouldn't call it a masterpiece, but the theme is novel, the plot is good, and it's not a mindless wish-fulfillment story. Five stars is definitely too much, four stars is no problem. It's just that it's rare to find something like this, so I'm giving it five stars. Keep it up, author! I'm being a bit presumptuous; I've been a bookworm for over ten years.
Written with great style, it's a real pleasure to read; I was captivated at first sight! Speaking of which, the description of Bajiquan is quite detailed; could the author be a practitioner? And judging from the tone, it seems a bit like the Luo Tuan lineage...
It's really good-looking; someone must have boosted the rating.
The writing is excellent, the logic is clear, and it avoids clichés. It's a top-tier book among Tomato's selections; finally, I've found something of exceptional quality among Tomato's offerings! 😢
The author writes well and has solid professional knowledge, but the word count isn't high enough, the target audience isn't broad enough, and there aren't enough readers... Anyway, I'm here to rate the book and have already given a gift (a free one), hoping to encourage the author to update more chapters.
The story is intricately plotted, the characters are vividly portrayed, and the evil of human nature is depicted very well. It's a rare gem. I'll definitely continue reading the author's new book; it's truly captivating. If you're impatient, I highly recommend this excellent work.
This is a very good book. The writing is smooth and concise, and the characters, introductions, and relationships are vivid and well-organized without being cumbersome. Some slang and otherworldly journeys make you feel like you are there. It's a combination of mythology and reality, with a sense of the late Qing Dynasty and early Republic of China.
The book is very good, but there's a bit too much focus on the interactions between the two female leads. It's mentioned in almost every meeting, even more so than the interactions between the male and female leads. It's not that the book is bad, but the frequency is just a bit excessive. Everything else is great.
