Excellent work I would like to say that so far, the author's writing style, plot arrangement and handling of various details are constantly improving (there may be a lack of details at the beginning, but the extremely tense battle scenes and gripping escape plot are enough to support people's speculation about subsequent developments and the motivation to read on) , the look and feel is always online, there are not even too many storylines or too many words, and the pace is extremely comfortable for me personally (I didn't realize until I saw the latest chapter that it was less than a million words). I have to say that this is a rare masterpiece created by a "storyteller" with great wisdom and social experience. The author always brings surprises to people. Even though he knows that Yang Ming, as the protagonist, can always save danger, he can't figure out the development of the plot, and even more elusive about Yang Ming's countermeasures - just like I even thought from the beginning that Yang Ming would really let his men kill Zhang Zhiqiang to gain life. Then Feng Peng's betrayal and Zhang Zhiqiang's anticipation of this move made me confused about how to develop next. But all this apparent decline is a game within a game set up by Yang Ming. The final "Night of the Long Knife" against Zhang Zhiqiang's remaining forces was even more amazing, making me more and more looking forward to the plot that follows. Another example is the character Zhang Jing, whose design is not likable. I think it was caused by the forced marriage that left Yang Ming's only safe haven. From meeting the protagonist for the first time, to depicting a gloomy and short-lived marriage, to the tit-for-tat battles between husband and wife, and finally jumping off the building after realizing his powerlessness, it is a very full character arc. She has great ideas, has certain abilities and intelligence, but is destined to be unfit to become a chess player (hasty whitewashing measures and uncontrollable subordinates determine her outcome). She supports her brother unconditionally. She has always been firm in this stance and has never changed, but this also destined her to be involuntarily until she died as a martyr for this. The character who was strong but naive, worthy of respect and expected to perform, passed away like a butterfly, without too much sadness, and only turned into a handful of ashes buried in the ground. At least people can still remember her existence. Let's talk about what Yang Ming did in it. It can be said to be watertight and impeccable. I started to think that his passivity stemmed from his feelings for Zhang Jing. Maybe this confrontation will end with the merger of the two? But then every move he made was to lure the snake out of the hole, draw out Zhang Guoan at every turn, and then complete the layout, and finally get to the key point. After winning, he clearly noticed the details and stopped when he saw the advantage. His smooth operations preserved his own strength and then sought development elsewhere. His attitude towards Zhang Jing is very clear. Two people are two people. Such a protagonist does not fall into clichés (there is no such thing as long-term love in Douzhan), and his image is ruthless but principled, and he is almost like a god. His precise sense of proportion, clarity of his own positioning and exquisite layout of every step make his behavior reasonable. My language expression ability is limited, and my understanding of the plot may be biased. I can't think of many words to express my appreciation and love for this novel. I have been exposed to relatively few novels on this subject before, such as Sometimes You Die: The Age of Gangsters, Kong Ergou's Northeastern Past and I have also read The Man Who Played the Qin and Six Paths, but this book obviously gave me a new perspective (probably because the heroine is the ashes of the hero's sister?). In short, I feel deeply attracted by the text. All the exaggerated words can only be summed up in one sentence: good-looking 👍 I look forward to the author continuing his efforts and portraying the story of Nancheng to a higher level 💕
The subject matter is novel and one of the few types that satisfies the sense of freshness. The characters beside him are also well drawn. There is a part in the plot about the pheasant next to the protagonist, Mian Dian Usha's little brother. Although I hate this kind of recklessness, the character's image and personality are immediately highlighted. The same applies to some psychological games. Through some small details, some analysis after the matter is over, it also reminds a careless person like me.
The author depicts the relationships and images of the characters in a way that matches the legendary world, and the plot is also good. It is a good book! The writing is serious and not boring 👍 👍 👍 Thank you author! Please update quickly, every day is so short and not enough
I have read many novels, and this is the only one that interested me to continue reading. The author portrays both the white and underworld characters in such a profound way, as if the author himself has experienced them all personally! 😄
I'm an old bookworm, and now I'm very restless when reading novels. I've read at most half of many novels and can't stand them anymore, so I only read cool ones. But I didn't expect to see a novel that I could read slowly and read to the end. This book is like a kind of magic that makes you read it calmly and slowly. The author writes it very well. I recommend reading it if you like refreshing writing and have an impetuous mind. It's very good to read. This is also my first time to write a review because it is indeed a very good book. The distinctive personalities and realistic characters in it attract you to keep reading.
The author has rich experience, from north to south, black and white, three religions and nine streams, worldly feelings, vicissitudes of life, spring and snow, a native of Lower Liba, and knows everything. The stories written by the author are rich in plot, vivid in twists and turns, fascinating, often unexpected but reasonable. After reading it, I feel like I have enjoyed a rich spiritual feast, which is really a blessing in life! Thumbs up for the author's excellent work and hard work! 👍👍👍👍👍
It's so wonderful. It describes the other side of the past society vividly. The characters are described in detail, their expressions are thoughtful, and the sense of immersion is very strong. It has a feeling of returning to the past society. The description of the characters and the plot direction and reversal make people passionate every time. No one helped me to reach the top of the mountain by walking on the snow, If you are not lucky enough, you can climb Kunlun alone. Come on, author, support 👍👍👍
This is completely enough to make a TV series, and it is a serious TV series. It can be interspersed with the process of the police detecting Yang Ming's gang.
The first time I read a gangster novel, I was mesmerized. The brotherhood, charlatanism, intrigues, weighing the pros and cons, strategies, and foresight. Each character is well portrayed. A good novel is reflected in the characters, plot, and environment, and the character image is the most important. Everyone is vivid, as if they are not a person in the book, but a living person. Yang Ming is brave and resourceful, thinks about things, and plans before taking action. The rise of a small character is well written. It lays the foundation for future plot development, makes some plots happen without being abrupt, and you can never guess the direction of the story. It is not as boring as the same old routines in current novels, which is refreshing. This makes people have the motivation to read on.
The author's writing is really good and looks very graphic. It's just like watching a TV series, the characters are well portrayed and everyone is very vivid. I noticed there weren't any important female characters in the book? Is it a story without a female protagonist? The most important thing is that it is very realistic and scary to watch. Each character in the work has its own involuntary and charming character. This is a group portrait description. I also like Yang Ming, but I also find it wonderful to see so many different autobiographies of little people [already planted]
