With a kilometer-long range of perception and the ability to control movement, isn't your caution unnecessary?
The protagonist has a likable personality; he's cautious and righteous, neither overly saintly nor cold-blooded. He's intelligent and resourceful, but his cheat ability is a bit too much. A ten-meter perception space would be enough, and a larger storage space wouldn't be a problem. This powerful cheat ability allows him to do far too much. The writing is good, the characters are well-developed and relatable. The story is currently around chapter 30.
That's truly amazing! They even have a kilometer-long warning system and still manage to create a 007-esque stealth feel!
It's written very meticulously; I haven't seen any flaws yet, and the plot flows smoothly without any overly confrontational or defiant statements. It portrays a character who, despite his seemingly insurmountable position, is actually quite powerful, carefully surviving through subtle psychological descriptions and details.
I initially liked it, but now that the female lead has appeared, and it's Qin Huairu! Even an original character would be better. Anyway, I can't accept it yet, so I'm turning it off. Those who like this kind of thing can keep watching! 😂
I've read the latest chapter and so far I'm enjoying it. The protagonist is quite cautious, and he's alone, without any family or anything like that, which is great! There's some repetition in the descriptions, like the pig-slaughtering scene; the descriptions are almost identical, making it a bit padded out, but it's still acceptable and doesn't affect the reading experience.
This is a story set in a different era. The male protagonist is very cautious and adept at assessing situations. Although he has a special ability, he doesn't abuse it. He lives a down-to-earth and hardworking life, showing a rare clarity of mind. It's not a wish-fulfillment story, but it's full of the warmth and realism of everyday life.
In that depraved era when human trafficking was commonplace, ambushing and selling people was the norm, survival was incredibly difficult. Even a strong man could easily be captured and sold by gangs if he went out alone. Sigh! Also, the author should really rewrite the introduction; I almost missed this book.
The rating is a bit low, mainly due to the first ten or so chapters, but the circumstances at the time weren't unexpected. In a chaotic era, a child's finances and resources were inherently unsecured, so excessive caution was always warranted. As for the spatial abilities, they were merely for expansion and contraction, and detection; they had no offensive power.
Am I not looking carefully enough? Is the kilometer warning only for one direction or for the surrounding kilometer range? Even if it's only for one direction, shouldn't it just circle around and be done with it? Why is it so troublesome getting close to a city? I've even encountered the Japanese several times. What's the use of this warning system? It's written in too much detail, which is a bit tedious.
