Honestly, I've never read such a good assassin novel. Other assassins only talk about love and only kill men, not women. This novel is really great; it kills everyone, regardless of gender, and the pacing is fast. Each mission only takes four or five chapters at most, unlike other novels where killing one person takes ten or twenty chapters, and the whole novel ends with only a few kills.
This novel is actually quite good. The pacing is relatively fast; unlike other novels where killing someone drags on for dozens of chapters, it resolves most incidents within ten chapters. It kills both men and women, and there aren't any stories where you can't resist beautiful women, making it much better than some novels that merely use the guise of assassins.
I've searched for over a dozen books, and this is the only one that doesn't portray a saintly character; he kills women just the same, and it's incredibly satisfying. The only downside is that it gets a bit bland towards the end, but with only about 100 chapters, it's unlikely to stay that way. It leans towards a male-oriented genre, and the protagonist's character is very well-developed, showing a clear transformation from novice to expert.
Personally, I'd rate it 8-8.5 On Tomato, which is pretty good overall. However, there's one thing that's really hard to ignore: the protagonist goes to dinner with classmates all the time, and they always seem to know he's an assassin. Is the barrier to entry on the dark web really that low? It feels like anyone knows about the assassin world.
Generally, it's recommended to improve writing skills; the current space isn't large enough, so a more comprehensive personal space is needed.
It was alright, the logic was somewhat there, but there weren't many climaxes, it was rather bland, though that might be because the climaxes were too fast 🤦. The emotional aspect was good, there wasn't much ambiguity, just pure physical needs.
I've read over 300 chapters, it's good. I saw some complaints in the reviews about "forced female lead" and "female lead being a drag," I'm wondering if they didn't read carefully? Or is it because other publishers are charging for it? At least I haven't seen a female lead yet!
Decisive, authentic, and very detailed. Does the author have some side hustle? 😏
It's really good; I read through all the installments in one go. I've gradually caught up with it and it's reached 600,000 words! Still great! I'll keep following the updates! Finished reading! 😭 This is the second book I've followed for so long. I really love the style of this book. I love it!
The beginning was really good. It follows the protagonist's journey from a novice to a master. There's a system, but it doesn't seem to have a strong presence. I haven't seen it much since. It's truly the best novel about assassins on my bookshelf. I've read many, but this one is really captivating. The protagonist is ruthless and decisive, never afraid of enemies, and there's no female lead.
