As long as it's a book about fighting the Japanese invaders, and the logic is sound, and it's not some kind of absurd or ridiculous story, I'll give it five stars!
It's great! It's my type, and there's no female lead yet. She's also hidden behind the scenes. After watching it, I suddenly had some new insights. Because I exist in the "present," I'm conflicted about the "past." The protagonist is also initially thinking in the "present." Later, he suddenly realizes that his ancestors didn't know the future, so they strived for it.
A well-written, enjoyable war novel about resistance against Japan. The protagonist is a Taoist priest who descends from the mountains; it's a very fantastical portrayal of the war and worth reading. There are virtually no flaws. The system inventory they implemented later was a real pain. Since it's a light novel, why not just have unlimited space or the ability to enter and exit different spaces? That would be safe and convenient. 😏
It's a pretty good book. The writing style and logic are generally good, except for the somewhat rushed ending. However, endings are generally difficult to write in this genre, so this isn't really a major flaw. Overall, the author really put a lot of effort into it.
It's a great read. The protagonist is very intelligent, with a clear mind, rational and prudent actions, and is extremely cautious. As an underground worker who never shows his face, he's definitely a master. I've read the whole thing; there aren't any flaws. Plus, he has some pretty good plot devices, making it a very exciting and satisfying war novel. It's just a shame that there aren't enough chapters yet; I want to read more.
It's alright, a lighthearted read. But the cultivation part... The protagonist meditates and cultivates every day, using those skills—doesn't that increase proficiency, even if it's slow? Is the setting that it can only be increased through merit points? I've read up to chapter 92 so far, and I've noticed that I haven't used several skills yet.
The writing is skillful and concise, with an engaging plot and ingenious concept. Although the characters' abilities are ridiculously powerful, it doesn't feel out of place. It's a very enjoyable read, free of unnecessary female hero tropes. It's a refreshing spy-themed crossover story, with a gentle breeze blowing through the valley. The animals in the story are all adorable, and the street urchin is so ambitious and cute.
The story organically combines a protagonist's "golden finger" (a powerful, overpowered ability) with the War of Resistance against Japan. The writing is excellent, with few flaws and high levels of excitement. The author is eagerly awaiting updates. The story begins in Shanghai, where the protagonist blows up numerous armories, Unit 731, and the Izumo-class battleship.
A lighthearted, enjoyable read, but not overly exaggeratedly so. Five stars.
Although there are quite a few broken records, I feel very comfortable looking at it so far.
