The Police Officer of the Hong Kong Underworld

Director Chen (Major Crimes Unit)

The attention to detail is poor, and the writing is too disjointed. You know what you're writing, but we don't. The scene transitions are even more absurd; they just jump around inexplicably. Once or twice is okay, but doing this repeatedly makes it very uncomfortable to read. In short: self-indulgent.

The protagonist's moral compass is increasingly skewed; he befriends Li Huanggua, shows leniency to corrupt cops, and helps drug dealers launder their money. While other Hong Kong crime dramas are thrilling and exciting, this protagonist is becoming increasingly morally ambiguous, only acting out of self-interest. Many plot threads are forcibly ignored, and I'm too lazy to participate in much of the story. After finishing Zhuo Jingquan's storyline, I decided to give up; I couldn't continue.

Le Huizhen

Of all the novels I've read, this one is absolutely bizarre. After firing just two or three shots, the character is completely exhausted, collapsing on the spot. It's disgusting! The next day, they can't even move. In other novels, they're always on target, and after firing, they're perfectly fine, just not always accurate. What's the point of this trash skill? It's a complete burden.

Cai Ni (The Courageous Rat)

Many plot points felt forced and contrived, almost as if they were simply cobbled together to fit the original movie storyline.

It feels like they're just piecing together various movie plots, then the protagonist appears and gets a headshot. There's no investigation, no gradual progression, and knowing the movie's plot is useless; all we've seen so far are the climaxes of the movies, where the protagonist just gets a headshot.

The self-indulgent style is quite obvious, and the protagonist's personality is somewhat unstable. The author has watched a lot of movies, but the background is the background, and the story is written by the author, not copied from a movie script. That takes away a lot of meaning, and it starts to drift away from the original movie plot.

After reading a few chapters, it seems the author has merged all the characters played by the same person into one. Even if characters with similar personalities are merged, it's still impossible to merge characters like Xiao Fu from "King of Assassins" and Li Jie from "High Risk," or Crocodile from "King of Assassins" and Han Chen from "Infernal Affairs"—their personalities and experiences are completely different!
