I've read quite a few of his books. I used to just think of him as a young talent. I never imagined he would become a big shot. I have to admit, I misjudged him. You can call him Brother Jun, or Boss. He put his heart into it. Honestly, you've never been the best in my eyes. Boiling wine by the vast sea, a white-robed man selling wine. A man with dreams.
I've already read two of Ah Jun's books, both with great beginnings, awkward middles, and then pure wish-fulfillment stories with no surprises whatsoever. I'm getting hooked on this one too. It's only around chapter 300, and I'm already finding it hard to keep going. The protagonist's life is too smooth, the supporting characters are unremarkable, and everything is a guaranteed success, completely predictable and entering pure wish-fulfillment mode.
If you weren't the author, how could you so obviously kill two chief inspectors? Are you sure you can still rise to the top? And what about the assistant commissioner and three British officers? The assistant commissioner—one of the top ten people in the police system—was shot dead like that, and you can still claim you can rise to the top? Are you kidding me?
I'm having a reading slump, let's swap books we're currently reading.
Based on the prototype, it is speculated that she is the eldest daughter of Chen Weinan, the big boss of Xingzhou Trading Company and honorary president of the Chaoshan Chamber of Commerce (there are many more titles after that, the big boss has too many honors...). I couldn't find any photos or information.
The protagonist is so frustrated, forced to be a lackey everywhere. Being a lackey for powerful figures is bad enough, but even the sons of rich people humiliate him, and he doesn't dare retaliate. Does he not hold grudges? Unbelievable! Where did his initial ruthlessness go? Wasn't he supposed to hate being forced into something? So, his greatest hatred is opportunism?
Personally, I feel this one isn't as appealing as the previous book, *The Prince Consort*.
I'm looking for urban novels where the story unfolds gradually, with the protagonist's career growing step by step, and that feel human. Too many novels lack a sense of time; they just summarize the process and results along the course of major events, like a diary entry.
Well, you're not a revolutionary force. You're not someone who travels back in time to become emperor, or someone who uses their abilities to overthrow the Qing and restore the Ming. So you can't change the overall situation. You might survive in the 1950s to 1980s, but you can't forcefully negotiate with the authorities of that era to change the course of history.
This book feels like Meng Jun's work is far below par.
First, there was insufficient background investigation. I saw that Ah Jun wrote about the character Zeng Shaoke, which shows that Ah Jun has some understanding of the police force of that era. In that case, you should know that Li Luofu and Chen Zhichao are real people. At that time, the highest level of Chinese in the Hong Kong police force was not just the Chief Detective Inspector.
