The Ten Best Anti-Japanese War Novels
Looking for something similar to "Where the Smoke of War Ends" ("Beacon Fires and Runaway Soldiers"). It's one of the best novels about the War of Resistance Against Japan I've ever read. The writing is excellent and feels very authentic, with lots of vivid detail. I read part of it before, then lost track of it. After searching for years, I finally found it again recently.
Looking for Realistic Republican-Era or Period Dramas
I like calm, everyday stories without awful relatives: just a happy family working hard to earn money and improve their lives. Keep the golden finger subtle, not overpowered.

Looking for Stories About the War Against Japan, No Bright Sword, No Spy Warfare, and No Special Forces Operations
Special operations are all small-time stuff. Can they wipe out several Japanese divisions in one go? They need a golden finger. Without one, how could they make a major impact in the War of Resistance? No matter how you write it, it wouldn't be realistic. I want something about commanding hundreds or thousands of tanks and heavy artillery, or using drones, missiles, and information warfare.

In the boy's China, there were no schools; his school was the earth and the mountains.
I personally think it looks great, so I'm giving it five stars. The only thing I don't like is that there's space to store things, which allows me to buy more Japanese items for free, making me feel a bit miserable 😄
This is a pretty good book! Don't be so demanding! If you have high expectations, go read world classics!
There are quite a few female leads. Also, author, please don't kill off Kamikawa Mishio. The author shouldn't kill off the protagonist's woman.
Reward yourself with a five-star rating
It's rare to see books like this on Tomato 🍅. Many people read spy dramas, enjoying the seriousness and various crises, but I don't like that. I'd rather have a story about someone contributing to the country while also dating.
The plot is well-structured and layered. At least after a few days, it's still readable. Unlike some spy novels, which are too tightly paced—after all, we're all busy people—if you wait four or five days before rereading, you might find it unreadable and have to start over. Otherwise, it becomes disjointed and you have to delete it.
Super exciting and enjoyable! A very good book, keep it up! 👍
I've never read a book set in the Republican era that's so enjoyable. The characters are vividly portrayed, and the whole book is all about excitement, but it doesn't feel like a run-of-the-mill story. Instead, it's refreshing and captivating. The male protagonist is also quite successful in love. The book's epic battles and daily life in brothels are all mesmerizing.
I like the good-looking and interesting storyline.
