Sigh, ever since the redesign, finding this reading list has been such a hassle. I have not updated my own list in ages either. (￣(∞)￣) I will add to it little by little. Well, at the very least, I will be following these books myself. 2022.01.09

The Story of a Hong Kong Cop

After all this time, he's still just a low-level cop. He should learn from Master Zhuang.
Everyone else uses a technique of building suspense before revealing the truth, but yours is just... Ugh! Forget it, I'm not watching anymore. I'll come back in a few months.
I watched it 5 or 6 times, and each time I exited from the third chapter due to the time chaos. I just can't accept that a gangster storyline is coming out of Lei Luo's era. It's clearly not on the same level. Back then, the police were the biggest gangsters. How could these small-time thugs stand out?
Keep it up! It's pretty good. The main character's personality is quite appealing; he's neither a saint nor a disgusting, hypocritical person who talks a big game but has no moral bottom line.
The cultural invasion by foreigners is severe; even textbooks have been invaded. How good can a lousy website be? Seeing those mindless, trashy novels selling well makes me furious. Novels with even a hint of patriotism are constantly being reported. I find that garbage disgusting.
Brother, back in Lui Lok's time, let alone Chan Ho-nam, even Chiang Tin-sang's father, Chiang Chun, was just a small-time hoodlum.
There are more and more female characters, more and more plot characters, more and more side quests, and every now and then there are some mind-numbingly stupid actions, which makes the quality of the game decline!
Why?
I've always been curious, why did the system disappear? The tasks disappeared too? Why do so many authors have this "devouring the system" trope?
Well... How about changing the writing style? The writing style is acceptable, but if you don't write about ghosts and gods, I'll still follow along. But if you do, you're doomed. The grades are also worse than last year. To be honest, even if you wrote about Zhuang Ye and Prince Bin now, that handsome guy's grades aren't great either. Because he's out of touch with the times, there aren't any exciting moments. I'm starting to wonder if it was all written by the same person.
Although there are many Hong Kong films I haven't seen, I'll support them as long as I'm patriotic and have a red heart. 👍👍
