This novel draws on the Lord of Mysteries potion system, and at the same time creates its own original secret world with detectives as the main focus. It is not a brainless and retarded novel, and is much better than 90% of Tomato system novels: 1 First of all, I must affirm the author's attitude. The rigorous literature annotation seems to make me see the squid writing mysteries and learning from the Qing Dynasty's consumption in the UK. The author is willing to spend time polishing the details, which makes him far better than those routine articles, systematic articles, double or even triple authors. As a new author on the platform of Tomato, he deserves recognition 2 The writing is smooth and eloquent, and the potion system is completely established. It is not directly given through narration like Xiaobai's novel. I'm sorry that it is not easy to find the right book on Tomato. I really hate Xiaobai's novel. A few shortcomings: The layout and plot are a bit different from the mystery, but it can be understood in Tomato; the historical and cultural accumulation can be strengthened, such as the description of the church and the place abandoned by God; finally, the villain is a bit facial, and the foreshadowing and reversal need to be strengthened. Finally, it will arouse the emotional resonance of readers. I hope to see it in the next novel. In short, Tomato is a good author with a serious attitude. If you practice well in the future, you can consider starting to preach. Tomato readers are not old enough and have little experience, but they can currently practice on Tomato No. 1
This book is quite good, the logic is reasonable, there is no swearing at every turn, the dialogue is comfortable, and the description of the eighteenth century fits the British nineteenth century background. I highly praise it. It turns out that he is the author of Blood of Dark Night. The previous book was a great one in the early stage, but it collapsed in the middle. I would like to give you a suggestion. Don't become a god in the later stage of this book. Most of the western fantasy will collapse in the later stage. The combat power is too high and it is boring.
This is my second book. My previous book has one million words. I hope you will support this new book. Thank you all (bow)
I would like to give you a suggestion, could you please stop being indifferent all the time? No matter what you encounter, you will be indifferent, no matter who you talk to, you will be indifferent. Those who are more powerful than you are indifferent, those who have a higher official position than you are indifferent, and those who are crueler than you are indifferent. You just don't have the same feeling for non-extraordinary creatures. Let's use another word. Real. What is written is really good, what is bland is really many
It is a supernatural detective who has been transformed into a modern and modern era. The author's writing skills are great. From all the details, it can be seen that he carefully worked hard to check the information and wrote it. It is much better than most 🍅 AI scripts that are shoddy and brainless and have good reviews. After reading more than 300 chapters, the cult and the protagonist are basically being led around, which seems very annoying.
Tomato's superb Western fantasy novel. There are no god-level talents, no cheats for stacking data, and no system that lets you wear a maid costume and talk~ The detailed description of the steam era is very vivid, and the plot description of the detective is also excellent~ It's rare to see this kind of Western fantasy work on Tomato... Worth five stars. [Waving hands]
I want to know. Someone pleads guilty. Why don't you let go?? Collect some gold coins. Someone pleads guilty. No worries. Those who practice black boxing should know that they will be beaten to death sooner or later. Besides, what era was that? How could he bite a gangster for a gangster? Since it is so just? Then all gangsters should be eliminated. Since gangsters can exist. Isn't it commonplace to beat people to death? When did gangs exist? Could it be some serious era? Besides, that gangster has no background?
It's good to watch, the plot doesn't drag on, it progresses layer by layer, and the characterization is also impressive. All in all, it is a good book and worth reading. The only shortcoming is that the protagonist's method is too simple. He has been fighting the devil alone for so long with only a necklace, and his method of dealing with the enemy is too crude. There are no potions, other equipment, magic, etc., Which seems a little unreasonable in my opinion. Maybe they will be added in the future, but in the early stage, the means are still too weak.
It is indeed very good. Just because the author is willing to point out the sources of some sentences in detail to the readers, you can appreciate the author's rigorous creative attitude. This is a big difference from other authors. However, there is no need to compare it with Lord of Mysteries, because this book can indeed be regarded as the pinnacle latecomer of Western fantasy literature. No matter what, the settings inside are basically unavoidable.
An excellent novel. I can say without any hesitation that it is no less than most mystery novels. It is worth recommending. The rating is low. Maybe it's because most people don't like ratings. For example, I usually rate only those who pay special attention 😜😜😜
