Espionage in Republican-Era China: The Eight-Treasure Lantern

This is a novel about Shanghai spy war during the Anti-Japanese War. The protagonist is a killer with a clear conscience. He is ruthless and has no goals in life. Everything is for money. He loves the motherland, hates the Japanese, and kills the traitors. The author originally created a bloodthirsty lone wolf, but the whole article can never get rid of women, especially women with love and justice, including wives and children. In addition, this article has always insisted on using Shanghai dialect to write dialogues between local Shanghainese. I am very disgusted and just skip these dialogues whenever I see them. The Shanghai dialect is a niche dialect, and the dialect in each paragraph is very difficult to read, but the author ignored the readers' suggestions and tried his best to show off. In short, this is a relatively alternative anti-Japanese spy war novel, and a large number of women who are related to the protagonist have become the main clues of the novel.

The perspective is unique and speaks directly to people's hearts. The protagonist does not talk about benevolence, righteousness and morality, but other characters can understand each other deeply. The psychology of different characters is described in detail, which fully explains the sadness and helplessness of preferring to be a peace dog rather than a person in a troubled world. It is a rare good book and the author is a great talent!

The characters are distinct, not stupid, the plot is tense, not depressing, not preachy, and has a strong Shanghai flavor. It is unique among the lone wolf anti-Japanese novels of the Republic of China.

The character of the protagonist in the early and mid-term is very cold and basically ruthless. He does not take sides among the Kuomintang, the Japanese and the Red Party. It should be said that he is quite selfish. However, it is this kind of character that allows him to survive in troubled times and kill more Japanese when he is useful. The protagonist has great martial arts skills and the fighting scenes are quite exciting!

Very beautiful, the characters are very unique, but there are too few. I will read it in one day and wait for the update.

The angle is novel and unconventional. The protagonist's martial arts are not against the sky, and his mentality is gradually growing. To say that this is a refreshing novel is a bit derogatory to the work, but it does seem to be quite enjoyable. The only flaw is that the cruel reality is too realistically depicted [face covering]

I hope the author will continue to work hard to update, the characters have distinctive characteristics, are agile, and the writing is very good!

After reading this book, I feel that it is quite good. The content and the relationship between the characters are also reasonable. Let's see what happens to the protagonist in the future.

The description of human nature is penetrating. I am Zhong Yuan's novel. I hope the author will update it soon.

The description of the journey in the heart is very accurate and practical. No one is a sage, and no one can do without a Bodhisattva's heart. He also has thunderbolt methods, selfishness, and the righteousness of his family and country.
