This book has many advantages. The two biggest ones are that it is truthful and logical, and that almost all the people in the book are smart. It's hard to imagine how much thought the author put into making the strategies of these forces closely linked. In particular, even if each character is in a moral vacuum, he will still have the emotions and logical thinking of normal people. I was also impressed by the detailed character creation. I put aside about a hundred chapters without following it, but when I read it again after a month, it was still able to connect seamlessly. Remember each character's stance and emotions. This is rare.
The tiniest tomato bran I've ever tasted! This is not much better than that (forget it, it's just a story about a certain male protagonist's gangster plot)! Each supporting character is portrayed in a three-dimensional way, and the story lines are interlocking. It's so good at writing! Every character seems to be real in the author's writing, and the supporting characters are also fleshed out and have names. These people in the group portrait, the "good" ones make people fall in love immediately, and the "bad" ones also make people sigh and sigh. They are not the kind of villains or tool men with facial makeup, which I like very much! Ps Ah Man is such a cute girl, a growth-oriented heroine, I almost became a mom fan
I think this is true love for women Pei is strategizing, Chen is kind and smart, and there are no stereotyped stupid women in this article, and there is no female rivalry who snatches men away from traditional women's videos. Every woman has her own name.
As long as it doesn't suck, it's definitely not difficult to score over 9.5. Every character is very fulfilling, and everyone chooses the part that benefits them after weighing the balance. Everyone knows how to use an abacus, but some abacus beads jump on other people's faces, and some abacus beads jump on other people's faces based on their strength and positive direction. It's too painful to catch up on updates, friends, so I decided to refresh the game from the beginning. The last time I wrote this review, the rating was 8.8. Now I come back and check it out at 9.2. I look forward to breaking through 9.5, My dear book friends. Although I don't know which idol can be made into a TV series, I still look forward to that day! Such fine chaff deserves to be appreciated by more people.
I came from The Book of Death and like the author's generous writing style. Even if each character appears is only described in a few words, the characters are full-bodied, three-dimensional and flesh-and-blood, and the speech can reflect the character's characteristics, rather than a stereotyped facial expression.
I feel bad for this little girl, and I feel bad for that little girl, too. Although the eldest lady is too pampered and even appears as a villain, she is so cute and it is pitiful that she has been kept hidden. Every woman written by this author is very attractive, good or bad. The two female protagonists, Pei, who is meticulous in everything but has no plan but is bent on revenge, Man, who is rough on the surface but is attentive and compassionate, the eldest lady who is spoiled and unruly but will protect the overall situation and protect her shortcomings in front of outsiders, the second-room lady who is very much like a tall girl, the cowardly and gentle sixth lady, several maids, the princess who hides in the dark, the ruthless mistresses of various houses...
Seeing that the author and the teacher were worried about the lack of traffic and finishing it early, it was my first time to leave a comment on Tomato, hoping that the teacher would see that there are still readers who are supporting it! The logic is rigorous and closed-loop, and the characters are three-dimensional and vivid. Many reviews have been written ~ but what I like is that in an imaginary world, there are so many intelligent women fighting for their own various positions, not just for men. It becomes even more ironic every time I see a character like Lu Yunyuan speculating on the various behaviors of big women from his own narrow perspective. I am very much looking forward to the development of the plot in the future, such as the hidden clue of Lu Er's life experience, and the princess's future strategy. I will follow up closely [shy]
I know it's not normal to consume CP in the book of strategy, but Chen Man and Lu Yunye are also very good at it! It's really rare to find a heroine like Chen Man who is bold, careful, kind, principled and smart but doesn't know she is smart. The contradictions in Chen Man make her character shine even more. At the beginning, based on Chen Man's own narration, I thought she was really a stupid beauty who didn't understand anything. But the more I watch, the more I find that her behavior is impeccable and she is brave and resourceful. However, due to her background and experiences, she is always a little unconfident, but she is also very self-consistent. It's really awesome! Although there are many silent but considerate and gentle male characters like Lu Yunye, the author's detailed portrayal makes him fuller. For example, he would care about correcting Chen Man's evaluation of him, and would listen to Chen Man's search for words along the way but remember everything. The charm of this silent and guiding loyal dog is simply too shocking. Compared to The Book of Death, I think the portrayal of this pair of CPs is more detailed, vivid and moved me. I can completely follow these two people and understand how they are attracted to each other. I am really looking forward to the follow-up development of these two people. This CP is almost unmatched in the entire network. [Sending my heart] In addition to being brutal, Miss Pei seems to be playing a big game of chess, and I am also looking forward to the subsequent interpretation of this game. I feel that everything has just begun, but I have already played a lot of games, and the pace is really fast, so fast that I didn't even react without paying attention. I started fighting again and finished the game [laughing and crying] I hope the author will update more quickly [crying] My savage CP must be stable and happy! !
A godlike author, I almost cried when I came across this book from the author's last book. Too authoritative and awesome. How could he unfold all the events so slowly and unhurriedly by changing the perspective, exaggerating the mystery of the heroine, and then explain so many things clearly one by one. While reading, I felt like I was colluding with the heroine. She knew a lot, but not too much. Oh my gosh, it's so appetizing. Prioritize. Too authoritative and awesome. Is this God? Boss, I'm in love with you. . The author's ideas are always very good! The creativity is novel and the ideas are lively. The characterization is three-dimensional. Too authoritative. The author must persevere, you are the one who appeals to me the most! 🩷🩷🩷
The author's last book was great, and this one feels even better. The author is very good at setting up suspense, like hooks one by one, to tempt people to keep reading. But it's not like being a Riddler. The suspense set up will be answered quickly. Many twists and turns are unexpected and reasonable. Whether it is the revenge line of the heroine or the growth line of another heroine, it is satisfying enough. The description of the characters is also a highlight. Whether they are villains, supporting characters or minor characters, they are all very three-dimensional. If you close your eyes, you can tell a lot of impressive characters. Everyone has their own position and concept weighing, and everyone is very vivid. To sum up, if it can maintain its current level, this will definitely be a rare tomato masterpiece and worthy of strong recommendation.
