Hong Kong: The Rise of a King

The worst part is that everyone is an idiot. Neither the good guys nor the bad guys have any intelligence. Nobody knows the protagonist and everyone wants to kick him while he's down. Even though they have partnerships with powerful British and American families, they act like petty scoundrels, trying to undermine everyone. They don't know anyone, their backgrounds, and they repeat the same old tricks. It's disgusting.

I've been a fan of yours for over ten years, starting with "Movie Tycoon." However, the quality has been declining in recent years. I hope you can learn more and improve, read more books to enhance your skills before starting a new book. I also hope you can read Zhu Ye Gao's books; his writing is getting better and better!

Before his rise to power, a lowly policeman was at odds with the Chief Inspector; after his rise, he fought tooth and nail with a petty thug. The author's vision is truly eye-opening. There's a kind of beauty in the story of a president outsmarting the underworld.

I've been reading Bin Tie's books for many years, and this new one has a really good plot and the writing is masterful! It's definitely worth reading. I hope the author will write more about Southeast Asia in the future; I've been researching Southeast Asia a lot lately and there are many powerful families there!

Bin Tie is a veteran writer who has been writing for over 10 years, but every book he writes is the same: either pretentious and face-slapping, or aimless commercialism, without any sense of satisfaction. Anyone who writes Hong Kong entertainment or business books like Lao Wang would have become a legend long ago.

I feel like I'm reading a book about getting ahead.

It was so frustrating to watch. As the highest-ranking baron in Hong Kong Island, a chief superintendent, and someone with connections and big business in London, I thought the protagonist could control everything. But a few real estate developers looked down on him and caused him all sorts of trouble, even sabotaging him behind his back.

The author's writing style is too old-fashioned; the protagonist is always in a relatively passive state, relying on desperate struggles, benefactors, or the protagonist's halo. Even though the protagonist clearly wins after each small plot point, it doesn't feel satisfying.

This novel is okay at the beginning, but the rest is just pretentious posturing and womanizing. It keeps repeating these two clichés. And people actually think a novel like this would be a hit if adapted into a TV series? I'd be disgusted; it would poison a whole bunch of people. I dropped it a long time ago.

There are so many flaws. It frequently designs plot points that it thinks are reasonable, but the details are glaringly obvious. The protagonist's character is arrogant and thinks he's invincible, but when faced with real challenges, he's utterly useless. He always gets the protagonist's halo and opportunities; I haven't seen any redeeming qualities in him besides his arrogance.
