The Art of Espionage

I've just read over forty chapters and the book is good, the protagonist's character is also good. But I just want to say that the protagonist's constant assassinations are completely mindless and suicidal. Without intelligence, logistics, or support, one mistake means death. And with such a good hidden identity, there's no need for him to go to such lengths.

It's really good, I love this kind of main character ┏(`ー´)┛

Ning Zhiheng is hard to surpass; this is a typical example of a well-developed character, truly bringing a person to life.

The writing isn't bad, and the initial identity setup is excellent. However, the next few dozen pages are all about being an assassin. I don't understand the point of assassinations these days. They're useless in the war and only expose you. You're completely not utilizing your identity; your role is perfectly suited for intelligence work.

This novel was originally quite well-written. However, most of what I wanted to read was a story about the protagonist joining a spy organization and fighting the Japanese. Organizations like the Military Intelligence Bureau, the Communist Party, or the Central Bureau of Investigation and Statistics are all fine, but having someone fight the Japanese alone just isn't very interesting.

Boss, there's no time. Are you planning to make the protagonist a lone hero?

So far, it's pretty good. From the initial lone wolf phase to the later realization that having help is necessary, it's all quite logical. However, every time I see the protagonist acting like such a tyrant, it feels a bit too different from his mindset as an ordinary office worker in his previous life. It feels quite sudden. Perhaps it's because he committed suicide due to cancer and was reborn, and then spent 10 years living in fear at the base. Keep up the good work, author!

It's a good spy story, but it portrays Ning Zhiheng as too capable.

The book starts off very engagingly, with the protagonist having been infiltrated by the Japanese since childhood. However, it later devolves into an exaggerated portrayal of assassins, losing its espionage element.

A quarter of the chapters have passed, and the protagonist is still carrying out assassinations in Northeast China...
