The protagonist Zhang Jiu is amazing! He has been patient for nine years and has shown his sharp edge. He has the ruthlessness of the Jianghu people and the obsession to find relatives. He has an online IQ and is decisive in killing. He is not a virgin and will not be aggrieved. He has become a legend in the world of "cannibalism". The character is three-dimensional and emotional. The more I watch it, the more I like it!
The beginning of the story gave me a little bit of a supernatural feeling. I am a long-time reader of supernatural literature. However, the urban story outlined by the author is indeed very immersive, and the story has layers of meaning, so it is worth reading.
From Hengmen Laobaozi's disciple to Jianghu legend, Zhang Jiusuan's life is so interesting! Knowing people and setting up traps, dismantling traps and counterattacks, every step is shocking. The mystery of "Aunt Hong" and the truth about the tragic death of her parents are revealed layer by layer. Eight conspiracies, both light and dark, are intertwined. The sense of suspense and the atmosphere of the world are endless. The more you chase, the more you can't stop!
The setting of "Trouble in the Northeast + Urban Jianghu" is so novel! Anecdotes, secrets of light and dark, combined with a suspenseful layout, the atmosphere is immediately filled! The writing is down-to-earth. The intrigues in the world and the sinister nature of the human heart are realistic and poignant. It has a strong sense of immersion, as if you are following the protagonist through the world!
I saw a wonderful short video about this novel on TikTok and was fascinated. So, I started my reading journey. I couldn't put it down on every page, and every episode took my breath away. This is a surprisingly good book!
After reading this novel, I felt like I got to know the world again. The author's descriptions are very delicate and can make people feel the beauty and magic of nature. And the characters are also very fleshed out, which made me have the urge to become friends with them.
The author writes about the deceitfulness of rivers and lakes and the complexity of human nature in a profound way. Every scam is exquisitely designed. The protagonist Zhang Jiusuan's growth line and revenge line are parallel. The more he reads, the more he becomes obsessed with it. It has already become an advantage for all friends around him who like rivers and lakes literature!
It's so well written! The eight sects of light and darkness, the secrets of the Northeast, and the grievances of wealthy families are intertwined. The protagonist Zhang Jiusuan has grown from a kidnapped orphan to a gangster boss.
Zhang Jiusuan's nine years of hard work from being abducted to being released from prison is written solidly, and the details of identifying people, dismantling situations and counterattacks are not suspended, and there is no forced cheating. The main plot of searching for relatives and avenging mothers is full of ruthlessness, and the charlatanism of "eat people or be eaten" is very poignant.
Jianghu literature + strange things in the Northeast, the sense of suspense is very strong, and I am a Northeastern person. I heard some stories when I was a child. There are many things written that are true and make me curious. Fortunately, this book does not have cheating cheats, so it is more interesting.
