After transmigrating into the Gallagher family as the nonexistent second-oldest sibling, Luo Er (Lin Yuan) has just one creed: in this fucked-up world, you can only rely on yourself.
A GTA 5 System hidden in his phone is his only trump card. With money, you can have anything. Without it, you can’t even afford a Glock.
On the streets of the South Side, he starts by stealing a car, then teams up with his hotheaded younger brother Carl and local tough Mickey, working his way from robbing convenience stores to cracking bank vaults. Meanwhile, the family’s alcoholic dad, his sister who can’t handle pressure, and his self-important younger brother are always creating new problems for him.
This is a crime saga written in bullets and tire tracks on the South Side.
(The author is uneducated and didn’t even finish seventh grade. I only watched the first season of Shameless, too. I’m just writing this for fun, so feel free to criticize. I won’t delete comments, and I don’t read them. I’ve only figured out the general plot; everything else is up to chance. I’ll write whatever comes to mind.)
This is really well-written, a niche crime novel that I absolutely love, but I don't know why so few people write this kind of story. The author's writing is quite good for Tomato (a Chinese online literature platform), with logic and a clear storyline, and it's not like most fanfiction that just repeats the same plot. It's really great, I just don't know why nobody reads it, haha.
Of all the GTA-related novels, this one is truly excellent at this stage. Other GTA novels don't feel like GTA at all, especially the dialogue; it feels like it's written for people who have never played the game.
Niche genre, so the requirements aren't high, just don't abandon it prematurely. It's a bit choppy and uncomfortable to read at first, but it gets better later on; at least it's improving. At least it's readable and not mindless. Those in the comments section, don't make such demands on a niche genre! Keep it up, author!
The writing is good; looking forward to the old heist, the apocalypse, and Perico Island.
Great, a very novel concept. The combination of GTA and Shameless is quite unique 🤦
The writing style may be lacking, and sometimes you need to carefully consider it to understand what it means, but it's really good; the flaws don't detract from its overall excellence.
The main appeal is the novel concept, combining shamelessness with the GTA system.
So far it's not bad, will follow up with a rating.
One of the few articles that focuses on the GTA system, with relatively detailed content.
I'd give it 4 stars. The novel is a bit wordy overall, but the premise is good. I've seen many people call it an AI novel, but if the author puts in a little more effort, this novel could be very good.
