I hope the protagonist doesn't become a tool for those in power, sending money and gifts to their superiors; I just want to write their own legendary story.
Wang Yao arrived in Shanghai during the Republic of China era, thus beginning his legendary life. The novel subject matter and rich illustrations make this a worthwhile read! I've read the latest chapter, and it's so good! It vividly depicts old Shanghai and features a wide variety of martial arts sects. It's novel, exciting, and I can't put it down!
I'll give it five stars right away. Author, look at me! I'm not just reading for nothing. I'll urge you to update, generate electricity, and give you five stars. I'll even call in people to help you. I was going to offer some suggestions, but I think I'll pass and you can do it yourself. Come on!!!
This is the first time I've read a thief novel with a time-travel element! It was quite enjoyable! It's a good book, but please avoid things like two girls being kidnapped or filler content! They're annoying! Almost every book has that! And the rescue is always a success in the end! 😳
It's a thrilling watch. The protagonist's own legendary story is a novel theme, as he travels around the world developing his own power, making his economy, culture, and technology strong. Personally, I think that in the later stages of development, we should focus on finance, military, and technology, and also prioritize the development of our family's descendants, nurturing and cultivating them gradually, rather than allowing them to grow unchecked.
It's a pretty good book. The plot is well-structured and not mindless. The girl subtly hints at something from the beginning: how can an illiterate man be worthy of the world's richest woman? Don't let it become too complicated! 😐 If this were a political story, it would flop. Much of it would fail censorship. It would involve going abroad, establishing a puppet state, engaging in politics, economics, technology, and procreation... Well, more than 5,000 chapters! 😎
It's quite comfortable to wear. Keep it up! 🙂 Classic novel 🙂 9 points
I got points, thank you everyone 😎
Well written! Keep up the good work!
If you write quickly, I'll finish this short novel in no time.
