It's very good. It's rare that it's not a system story. The protagonist doesn't have any cheats and relies purely on his own tricks and his own sharp tongue. If I insist on talking about Goldfinger, the butcher is so small that he is simply a hexagonal warrior. 😏
Comprehensive rating: Tian-level mid-level This is no longer an ordinary novel. I can't imagine that Tomato will see such a masterpiece. The protagonist is a pure saint, the saint in "As long as saints die, thieves will never stop". Based on the basic national conditions of medieval European countries, which were divided and divided, with weak royal power, local autonomy prevailing, backward productivity, and the feudal manor economy occupying the main body of society, he uses secular financial capital to operate. It deeply integrates the executive system with the church theocratic religious system and breaks through the two extreme models of single royal autocracy or pure theocratic monopoly, and develops a characteristic development path of symbiosis of politics and religion, capital-assisted theocratic governance, and taking into account the maintenance of social spiritual order and the stability of material and economic circulation.
Protagonist is lawful evil + medieval + capitalism + unscrupulous + self-centered + women but no masters + career writing + fast pace + pure cool writing without feeling aggrieved + liar + that's all I can think of for now It's super good-looking (´艸`). The protagonist is a pure capitalist, the kind you see on street lamps, but compared to the Middle Ages, it feels like it might be considered an improvement? To achieve the goal by any means, debate or murder can be very interesting. This book should be regarded as a career novel. There is some love life but not too much, and there is not much description of it. There is a woman (Xiao Ka, married) who is not a prisoner. Xiao Ka is still very capable, not a flower vase.
The protagonist is a pure bad guy, he pretends to be very good, and there is nothing embarrassing about him so far. The plot is a standard bloody accumulation of capitalists. The writing is not very deep, but there are no obvious poisonous points. It is very smooth to read the latest chapter in one go. Looking forward to further updates from the author
It's well written [like it], but the pace feels a bit fast, and the bishop's private life should be mentioned more. You must know that most people who read novels are just mediocre people, hedonists among the elite class, rather than career enthusiasts. Therefore, in order to meet the public's taste, I feel that there should be more mentions of the protagonist's private life, some enjoyment, and some hobbies mixed with the protagonist's career.
Mad, this book is incomparable, I was so immersed in it. Maybe it's because I've read too many books, and I can't stand those mindless, correct and refreshing articles, and I feel nothing. Instead, I like to read dark articles with a bit of philosophy. Although I always feel uncomfortable and depressed when I read them, I just can't help reading them.
This book can no longer be evaluated with just one word of good. It is the only masterpiece in Tomato for so long. The god here does not refer to a single touching heart or a single refreshing point, but a wave of thought caused by modern economics and cognitive logic in the old Western society. It also contains a small part of the racial conflicts in the old West. The characters perfectly unfold the inner struggle and spiritual perseverance of the characters. Using faith as the surface and human nature as the background, it perfectly interprets a demon who occupies the body of God but is fully aware of human nature and has monstrous ambitions. As a theology-themed book, this can be said to be one of the best in this genre. (This is my first time to comment so much, and this is also the only book I want to comment on so far.) It is useless to say more, please enter the text 👍
Yes, the story is quite interesting, and the plot develops smoothly, but you can't read it with your mind. Many characters in the book are too strange. The theory of blood is still mainstream in this period. Most of them are in the stage of ignorance, and it is difficult to be bewitched by the greed of capital. In ancient times, there were still a lot of people who believed that glory is more important than fate. What's important is that the period was at this stage. Many supporting characters, especially nobles of noble birth, had unnatural ideological changes. They had been brainwashed by the social structure for decades, and were changed by the protagonist's behavior in just a few days. It was very unreasonable, and it felt like they were forced to change for the sake of the plot. Moreover, the entire book assumes that information spread faster in the Middle Ages than in modern times. It takes time for the modern stock market to crash. In the book, everything collapsed in one day. The queen ran away a day in advance and issued a reward, which was recognized by the farmers. With such efficiency, the feudal dynasty was simply invincible. You must know that in China In ancient times, the time spent to find a person was calculated on a monthly basis. In modern times, it is not said that a person can be caught after running away for a day. Anyway, if you don't care about the details, it is quite good to read 🤦 Capital fraudsters cloaked in religion against the background of the Hundred Years' War between Britain and France. The subject matter is good [laughing]
It was so enjoyable to watch... The protagonist is purely capitalist and profit-oriented, and is not aggrieved at all. If someone targets the protagonist, the protagonist will immediately fight back. And although there is a lot of philosophical content, people like me who don't know much about philosophy can completely understand it. (As a side note... The protagonist is really a succubus...)
At first, Xiang thought this was another vulgar time-travel novel that relied on a "Ponzi scheme"-style routine to enter ancient times. After reading it, he was surprised to realize that the structure of this book was far from that. What it really writes deeply is the complexity of human nature and the weight of language. The author is good at using dialogue to inject soul, so the characters are vivid and full of life, and every confrontation has an undercurrent. There is no simple opposition between good and evil in the story, but a collision of human nature based on different positions and experiences. All choices have their roots and costs. It can be said that this is a work that has truly found its own narrative path - it does not cater to routines or simplify human nature, but only uses the tension of language to unfold a thick picture of the human world.
