    This is it! A story of a refugee fleeing famine, featuring a male protagonist who kills Japanese invaders and traitors. The protagonist is decisive and ruthless, neither doting on his sister nor any other woman; he's all about women, but no female lead. He doesn't falter at the sight of women, doesn't become irrational, and doesn't shy away from them. He's a breath of fresh air. The protagonist has a ruthless and ambitious nature; he kills anyone who gets in his way. If his sister becomes an obstacle, he'll even kill her to prove his worth. If you like stories of refugees fleeing famine and female-killing protagonists, this is a good book to read. Highly recommended!
