A unique and immersive war novel. Who says only those standing in the light are heroes?
This story is about a protagonist who travels back to the Anti-Japanese War era and infiltrates the enemy ranks. The protagonist doesn't have any special abilities or cheat codes, so it's not a typical "power fantasy" story. However, the protagonist is very tactful and diplomatic, making for a comfortable read. There are multiple female leads, each with a distinct personality.
It's alright, I hope it gets better and better, keep it up! Please add more chapters, author! Hurry up and add more chapters, author!
It's a bit slow to start, but it gets really good later on; I guess the style is changing. It features a harem! Besides the classic battles of wits, there are also romantic entanglements and palace intrigue in this drama! 🥰
So far, the writing is quite good, but it could be made a little clearer.
This book is really good. I haven't read many light novels about the War of Resistance against Japan, but many of them suffer from the conflict between "the protagonist's desire for a satisfying experience" and "respect for historical facts." This novel handles this aspect quite well.
I'm not picky about books, but I don't give many positive reviews. To put it bluntly, I'm not a picky reader, just have discerning tastes. This book, well, it's very good. This novel lacks the typical thrills and dramatic twists of spy novels, but its well-developed and three-dimensional characters and the strong sense of realism make it a very good read.
I've finished reading it. Well, for a writer like Tomato, this style is already quite good! And you can tell the author put their heart into it, so it definitely deserves a five-star rating, right? I won't say much more. I wish the author continued success! P. S.: Multiple female lead stories are awesome!!!
There is no political stance, only content about the red and blue camps fighting for China's future; very few books.
It's really well written. I can't understand why it got such a low score. It feels like someone is maliciously lowering the score. The low score isn't without reason. It had a fantastic start, but the style completely changed from Chapter 16 onwards. What was originally "A Man and Three Agent Wives" was transformed by the author into "A Story of Three Agent Wives and a Simp." I'll give it four stars for now, and add or remove stars as needed later.
