Lord of Dominion: Starting with Shadows

The first chapter begins by stating that the protagonist is devoid of emotions. However, upon seeing a beautiful girl in distress, in order to repay a debt of five thousand yuan (the protagonist refused to save a man who offered him five million yuan), he still risks exposing himself and causing trouble by helping the high school girl and the old man she doesn't want to give up on.

I'd give it a thumbs up. The writing is generally fine, but the protagonist's character... Is frustrating to read. One review is absolutely right: after reading too many wish-fulfillment novels, I just can't stand this kind of story. It's not that the novel itself is bad, it's just that my taste has changed. The book is still pretty good though.

It's a shame this good book isn't popular. The protagonist's character development and logical actions are all believable, the plot isn't stiff, and the transitions aren't awkward or abrupt. For example, the latest chapter, the nighttime raid on the nightclub, makes the protagonist and supporting characters seem intelligent.

Actually, that security guard job is pretty good, at least much better than running a breakfast shop, and having a real business reduces the chances of being suspected. The new chapter is a disaster. With your abilities, you're afraid of guns? You should have just killed indiscriminately earlier, letting Shadow hide in the car and wait for them to drive off before making your move.

Overall, I think it gets better and better as you read on. The only thing I didn't quite understand at first was the plot involving the replacement of He Jiaming, since the protagonist was initially very cautious, and then suddenly he planned to replace that person. It didn't quite fit his personality.

The author is remarkable; he possesses profound insights, and his writing is imbued with life experience. An eighteen-year-old who can glean useful information from sarcasm and ridicule—what could he possibly fail to achieve? I've quietly found a gem of a read.

Welcome to both new and returning readers.

The main character... Is a bit like a friend of mine who practices Gu cultivation 👍

After being cautious for over 80 chapters, I just charged straight into the enemy's lair and almost got killed 😅 For so long, Shadow didn't dare to use his superpowers. Only when he was about to die did he realize he should take a chance. Honestly, the fact that the protagonist was able to come back alive gives the impression that it's only because he's the protagonist.

The cheat-like abilities and the fog-of-fiction setting are alright, but the protagonist's personality is hard to describe, which is a shame given such a good premise.
