A Reasonable Reader's Picks: The Logic Should Mostly Hold Up, with a Bit of Everything
I've been an avid reader for almost ten years, so my tastes are pretty varied. I recommend books for readers who want something beyond simplistic fiction: fewer tired tropes, fewer saintly characters, and fewer mindless face-slapping scenes. I also like books with relatable protagonists. More precisely, these characters act in ways that feel human. They can be good or bad, but their choices have to make sense. P.S. Please save and like the list so I can see what you enjoy. The list has reached

Don't always write about the protagonist's kidney deficiency and back pain. Don't be too realistic about this part, and don't write it according to the author's own physical condition.
I haven't read the book yet, but it feels unreliable. At the end of the 19th century, that is, at the end of the Qing Dynasty, it was completely impossible for the Chinese to become big in North America. Ruthless? How cruel can it be? More ruthless than Gatling and mortars? When you are in a hurry, you don't care who is the real culprit, and directly go to the army to carry out genocide, labor force? Then buy a batch of honest ones from Manchu and Qing Dynasties.
Kill if you succeed, kill if you fail
The book is quite good, and I have ordered all of it. However, in my personal opinion, starting from the time I killed Stanford, the rationality and logic became a bit out of control. In terms of the historical background and political environment, the previous plot was still barely manageable. In the internal fight in Chinatown mentioned above, it can be said that the city government is too lazy to care about the life and death of the Chinese; when it comes to occupying territory in Chinatown, at least it pays attention to hiding behind the scenes and killing people with knife; at the worst, it will cast a layer of reasonable motives for its own actions. In the end, in order to kill a top old American, he actually did it himself unscrupulously? 🙂 This rationality is completely unbearable... Why do you think that with only a few thousand Taiping troops, you can be unscrupulous? Can Rootless Apple afford a war of attrition? Can your coastal city withstand the bombardment of Chinatown by the American fleet? Why do you think you can stabilize the governor and state inspections by relying on votes, public opinion, and bribes? Once the militia is really summoned to suppress you, even if you are not killed, will your power be stable? With the cowardly and ununited nature of ordinary Chinese and the gangster nature of Depogt's vassal, in less than a year of rule, people will throw their lives and blood to follow you? In addition, why do you think that fighting a civil war can only rely on people and guns... This is the end of the 19th century, and it is not just a matter of enclosing land for farming in the 15th century... Your base is only these tens of thousands of Chinese, and they are all urban residents. Your livelihood depends entirely on trade... Before the war, they can block your industry, but if there is a war, they will completely lock down San Francisco. How many months can you last? Do you rely on plug-in lottery to support tens of thousands of people? 🙂 Again, you won't make money in the future? Are you no longer involved in politics? After you do this, everyone will close the door to guard against you. Do you only rely on circulation within Chinatown? Alas, Rockefeller can make his opponents fly away, because he himself is also a top star and stripe. Can a beggar do what the emperor can do? Why do you have to act so recklessly? Does Stanford have any political opponents? Anyone who fights gangs knows that He Zong Lian Heng kills people with a knife, but now he has completely lost his mind? The mayoral election is still a few months away, and those small and medium-sized ironworks have legs to run away. Can't they join forces with Stanford's political opponents to take action? It's a very good book, but there's really no need to write it like this.
Some people may find it unreasonable. In fact, the current United States is replaced by the United States during the Civil War. In the eyes of European countries, the early United States was a remote country where only the poor would go and there was not much population. Otherwise, there would be no Civil War. Don't imagine the United States as a powerful government. Its dominance was not that strong. At that time, it was a loose alliance and the order was very chaotic. There was a state of game between the federal and the states. , Don't imagine her as the mobilization force our country has now. Their army is a mercenary system. Compared with mercenaries, the U. S. Finances at that time could not support many troops. In the United States at that time, if there were people with money and guns, you would be the king of the mountain. As long as you are not openly rebellious, you can't control it at all. Otherwise, why would there be bounty hunters? Let's take it for a moment, the security corps of the Republic of China, there are 💰 guns and people, clear the reports, and basically you can cover the sky with one hand.
I can't find no anti-theft, so I can only subscribe, 😢
The main character was raped in a whole book, and the United States, Britain, Russia, and Japan all got slapped in the face. But when he returned to the Qing Dynasty, he was like a turtle with his head turned up. It was really disgusting. The character of the main character was completely ruined. If there were problems with the scale, you couldn't write about it, so you just brushed it off. However, you still had to write a lot of disgusting details to describe how the protagonist was disgusted by the Qing Dynasty. I regret spending money on this book. It's really not worth it.
If it doesn't work, let's go back to Hong Kong Comprehensive Education and be comfortable in our own comfort zone.
Here we come, brother
It was pretty good at first, but after finishing Washington, there were too many similar plots, causing trouble all over the world. It feels like losing your mind and not being realistic.
Watched Tang Detective 1900
Seeing that the case was solved in the finale and Chinatown was saved, but all this was done by the mastermind behind the scenes, I felt like there was a fire burning in my heart. The dead foreigners are the good foreigners.
