Synopsis

At Bureau 749, a heretic cultivator walks with a black dog at his heels and a zombie standing guard by his side. He's an expert at tearing out sinews and skinning people. He used to prey on the wicked, yet somehow ended up with a sterling reputation.

Ji Zuodao, male, 19 years old.

He's no good person, though you can't really blame him.

After all, his several masters taught him nothing but crooked schemes, underhanded tricks, and ways to profit at others' expense.

His masters often said that if you wanted to live long and live well, you had to know how to "pick a side."

You had to stand with the good people, preferably with an official position to boot.

Ji Zuodao thought it over. Hey, that made sense.

From then on, everyone in the field said Bureau 749 had a ruthless investigator who hated evil and was skilled at tearing out sinews, skinning people, stripping bones, and carving away flesh.

Only Ji Zuodao knew how convenient this official uniform was. As long as he claimed he was on official business, punishing the wicked and eliminating evil,

he could get a whole pile of flesh, sinew, bone, and skin for free. The victims even had to thank him, and his colleagues would praise him for protecting the people.

What a splendid path to fame and fortune, with sustainable growth!

Colleague: Zuodao, we've caught a demoness over here.

Ji Zuodao: Well, aren't you a pretty little thing? Hmm? You dare try to tempt me? Don't you know I'm in need of a beauty's skin?

Colleague: Brother Ji, we've caught a remnant of an evil cult. He's got a stubborn mouth. Help me interrogate him.

Ji Zuodao: What a proud and unyielding fellow, truly made of iron! Excellent. I'm just in need of a sword made from a spine.

I'm more interested in historical settings. Farming, fantasy, palace intrigue, romance, or male-male pairings are all fine, as long as the writing and plot are good. Ideally, there shouldn't be any misunderstandings between the leads. These days I drop so many novels before I even get halfway through. The ratings are ridiculously inflated, and I don't even want to get started on the leads' characterizations.

No Female Lead!! Truly No Female Lead, No Romance, Read Carefully!!

Don’t recommend ongoing stories with heroines. If a story isn’t finished and doesn’t say it has no heroine, ask the author whether there is one first. For "I Became Invincible After Rejecting the System", the author said it has one heroine, so absolutely do not recommend it. The requester really will get mad.

The plot is novel and the content is rich. It's just that the author's writing is a bit too short. Assuming the author is a skilled writer, capable of 800 words per hour, and considering there are 12 hours left in a day (excluding meals and rest), that's 12 * 800 = 9600 words per day, 30 * 9600 = 288000 words per month, and 12 * 288000 = 3456000 words per year.

It's really exciting! The characters are all very human, and it's rare to see a protagonist like Tomato's who isn't just a stereotypical psychopath. Also, this book currently has no female lead, so if you like books without a female lead, feel free to jump in!

This is a great read! My second excellent 749 novel. It's about a rogue cultivator but with a government-affiliated organization. The protagonist solves cases cleanly and efficiently, even taking bribes along the way. The main characters are also quite well-developed and have good personalities. Currently, there's no romance and it's not lewd. I finished it in one go, how come it's only this short? [Please update more!]

There are no brainless female supporting characters. Compared to Tai Sui's novel, it's less arbitrary and more literary, with a touch of the wicked. Keep writing, the rating won't be bad.

It's good. I like the protagonist's decisive killing style and the officials who get things done. The only problem is that Seven Seven, the zombie, appears later on. One person and one dog is fine; there's no need to raise a daughter anymore.

Everyone in the story is flesh and blood, and has their own intelligence. The protagonist is ruthless, committing murder, arson, extortion, and all sorts of evil deeds, only targeting evil cultivators and demons. From initially being indifferent to 749 and the country, he gradually grows into a pillar of the nation and its people.

First of all, it's very exciting and very nice. The protagonist is wicked yet righteous, and his methods are also very brilliant, somewhat reminiscent of Huo Zi Ge. Secondly, when I first saw the book reviews comparing it to Tai Sui Ye, I was initially drawn to this book because I thought it was the best imitation of Tai Sui Ye.

It's absolutely fantastic! I love this kind of villainous protagonist; please, please, please don't add a female lead! It's so rare to find something so to my liking.

It's really good! It offers a different kind of enjoyment compared to "The Corpse-Dissecting Grand Duke." Anyway, the main characters are all very handsome. I hope the author updates 100 chapters a day, thank you!

It's incredibly good! It's not just a gory, violent thriller; it's a story with clear distinctions between good and evil, human relationships, and a touch of passion and adventure, with a hint of (jianghu, the martial arts world) spirit. It's a thrilling story with decisive and ruthless action. It's especially, especially, especially, especially, especially good!
