Lighthouse America + plutocrats + high IQ + ruthless decisiveness + relentless money-making + cyberpunk + villain protagonist + cunning + Marvel
In Lighthouse America, the difference between the middle class and the homeless is just one line.
Shen Jueyin, a former Wall Street elite, is reduced from the start to a basement-dwelling Brooklyn rat with tens of millions in debt.
His mother is critically ill, his credit is ruined, and on the eve of his eviction, he awakens the Eye of the Kill Line.
Everything has a breaking point. The moment it is reached, everything collapses! And he can see that point with perfect clarity!
So in a country where you “die” if you run out of money, he becomes the one exception.
He extracts a million dollars' worth of gold from a wrecked car, takes down a swaggering godfather at the poker table, and short-sells an arrogant conglomerate on Wall Street.
Doctors, detectives, tycoons, Hollywood actresses... They all kneel before him, because he holds the only pair of scissors that can cut the line.
Some plot elements draw on the Marvel Universe to reflect the real world. The Kill Line storyline is researched as thoroughly as possible to reflect the realities of America's kill line.
Leave a malicious one-star review to help the author ward off bad luck.
I've finished reading Chapter 33, and I think it's okay. There are a few places where I feel forced to show off, but it's not a big problem. The urban superpower is not very powerful and has a lot of brains. Goldfinger is just a smart little assistant. For this kind of slow-burning novel, it is best to write more strategizing and witty plots. This kind of plot is difficult to design, but once it is written, it will be much better than a mindless and refreshing novel. Finally, Hell's Kitchen and Hammer Industries appeared. I hope it's just the same name and not turned into a time-travel comic, which would be boring. Come on, author 🍉
After a day of listening to books, I found that this novel is good, and I give it a five-star rating. I personally like it because I have read many system articles before. They do not create the protagonist out of thin air to take out a bunch of things or put a bunch of things in. They do not talk about the conservation of mass at all. The essence is that the author is lazy or lacks the thinking to solve real problems, which is short of cognition. The main reason is laziness. If you do a little research on artificial intelligence and popular science knowledge, you will come up with some ideas. So far, I have read Chapter 39, and I have not found anything about harems, CPs, or pretending to be cool. There is some realistic reference content that can keep readers engaged.
The entry-level article closely follows current affairs, with sophisticated writing style and tight rhythm.
The author is trying to write a story similar to Game of Thrones, and write about the cruelty and complexity of real life in an American world where superpowers and reality are intertwined. The superpowers and strange organizations in the story are just the background and seasoning. The main focus is on mapping reality. As for whether the ability can support the author to write such a work, it remains to be seen.
The killing line exists in any country, but this one is written in such a real and concrete way, it is very beautiful, and it reminds the world to "never forget the original intention"
In the vast starry sky, his left eye saw countless lines. Holding on to those billions of lines, he was eager to save his mother and walked towards the unknown road...
This book is very good, but the rating is obviously low. The rhythm is reasonable and the methods are superb. In addition to the golden finger, it also has its own intelligence. It can be put into the library.
This book should be called "How to Become a Psycho"...
Awesome feeling
Very well written, very immersive, recommended
