[The rating just came out and will rise] [Urban + multiple heroines + gossip + bar-based intelligence]
Lin You was hit by a car and wound up in the hospital. After being discharged, he was penniless, and his landlady showed up to demand the rent.
Just when he was in a bind, he awakened the [Gossip System] and learned that the landlord was cheating. To avoid being kicked out, Lin You took the landlady straight to catch them in the act.
Watching the landlady beat the adulterous couple, then waive his rent and utilities afterward, Lin You exclaimed, “How is this a gossip system? It's an intelligence system!”
From then on, Lin You began selling information in bars.
Celebrity gossip
The secret affairs of company bosses
The details of power struggles among business magnates
Scandals involving the most powerful families
The whereabouts of criminals
Lin You has it all.
Using gossip provided by the System, Lin You sells countless secrets, learns the secrets of countless people, weaves his own intelligence network, and builds his own power base.
He stirs up the world and gradually becomes the terrifying Mr. Ghost.
No one knows when it happened, but a terrifying figure has gained the power to influence the entire world.
Although the female lead-pushing is a bit drawn out and the explicit content is rather restrained, the writing is quite smooth, the plot ideas are good, and there aren't any particularly unacceptable logical flaws. After searching through a lot of trash, I found this decent read, and it's quite enjoyable.
Based on the synopsis, I thought the male protagonist would become famous worldwide for his intelligence work. However, he only did intelligence work little by little in the early stages. In the early and middle stages, a large part of the story revolves around the male protagonist's business battles, where he brought down many large corporations.
Initially, I wanted to read a novel about behind-the-scenes intelligence. This book doesn't quite fit that category, but it's okay overall. The writing is also good, though it has some flaws. The plot point about buying intelligence on credit feels a bit redundant, and the intelligence merchant is a bit too over-the-top, which doesn't quite fit the genre. Overall, it's pretty good 🍉🍉
Clear logic, fluent writing, tight plot, five-star rating
This story truly embodies the spirit of gossip, yet it's also a good pastime for casual reading.
Well written, with a clear and engaging structure.
Writing a book is hard work, but the plot is worth watching! It was written as "nouveau riche" later on. Sigh, I'm so sad!
Indeed, there are few novels of this type.
I've only read about ten chapters, and it's quite interesting. At least it doesn't feel like AI, which is rare these days. I'm giving it five stars.
The opening was captivating, and the relatable moments earned it 5 points.
