A Surgeon’s Life in Espionage

I originally thought I'd see a more behind-the-scenes version of Sixth Brother, using his special identity to outwit and outmaneuver enemies behind enemy lines, but it turns out it's still the same old Ning Yanwang routine. Top surgeons of our time are being recruited into intelligence agencies, and instead of being properly protected—not even with guards every ten steps, but with separate overt…

Chapter 30 already deviates from the scope of a surgeon. If you're going to write a spy thriller, then change the title. Don't just use it for executions. Don't you know what a doctor's primary duty is? Since you can recite the Hippocratic Oath, then focus on healing and saving lives.

It's like a scientist becoming a special forces soldier, or a husky mixed in with a wolf pack—it feels so incongruous. The protagonist would have been better off helping the Nationalist army research biological weapons than becoming a spy. He could have become a grandmaster, but instead he's a lowly soldier—a waste of his talent.

It would be more realistic for Kong Lingkan to simply shoot the protagonist. He wouldn't listen to the protagonist's stalling tactics; he would just shoot him dead. He wouldn't bother with the protagonist about how the lady's doctor was the best or anything like that. As long as he didn't kill the protagonist in front of the lady, the most he would do is apologize afterward...

Ugh, I was completely dumbfounded when I found out in Shanghai that the Commander-in-Chief of the Japanese Army was my father. I had to leave.

The worst thing for spy novels is a brainless female lead.

I'm starting a thread for minor characters. If you're interested, leave your name, affiliation, and nationality. There are only two requirements: first, it can't be political, and I don't want well-known historical figures; second, it should have a Republican era feel. Thank you.

I want to read the IOU side story + Xu Meifeng's identity reveal side story + Zhou Qinghe's identity reveal side story + the side story of that guy from the previous story who was a Red Party member in the Military Intelligence Bureau (I want to see his reaction after he finds out that Qinghe is a fake Japanese soldier but actually a Red Party member in the Military Intelligence Bureau, hahaha). Please, just grant me one request.

I really want to see the side story about that IOU! And they have to give the main character some recognition! It's such a shame they can't just die as a character from a doujinshi in the end!

If you want to read it as a serious spy thriller set in the Republican era, it often appears mindless and nonsensical. If you want to read it as a lighthearted read, it deliberately flaunts so-called logic. It's probably the kind of story that's willing but unable to deliver!
