The Grand Commandant's Adopted Son

The characters in Water Margin were really just bandits; they weren't as organized as Fang La.

Main story synopsis: Gao Yanei's plan was to have influence in both the legal and illegal worlds. He married Cai Jing's daughter, became a high-ranking official in the imperial court, won over Liangshan to raise troops for him, pacified the Jin and Liao dynasties, and unified the world.

Overall, it was a very enjoyable read. Calling it a divine book is a bit of an exaggeration, but it's definitely above average. Shen Ding's writing is very powerful; his words are concise and forceful, with almost no long sentences. I've heard that the Water Margin theme is subject to restrictions, but I don't know if it's true. In short, I hope the project won't end poorly because of its poor performance. Once it's available, full subscription is supported.

Here are two points to consider: First, the timeline of the plot development in the book is currently quite reasonable. Unlike some books where the timeline is chaotic, the protagonist does a lot of things, yet only half a month has passed in the book, and some books even have the timeline reversing or flowing backwards. The author must avoid these pitfalls in future writing.

I hope the female lead will be played by Chen Liqing and Liu Huiniang.

This is the first time I've seen Gao Yanei as the main character; I'll play with Lin Chong's wife first.

Ambushing the protagonist halfway through his journey—is that what you call a hero? They're all just brutes and bandits. 😤

The plot is fast-paced and exciting, with well-developed and nuanced characters, each with their own unique traits—far superior to those stereotypical character novels! One satisfying moment after another, plenty of explicit content, and the humor feels natural and not awkward. How can such a good book not be a hit?

I love the character Hua Jin so much.

Was the author keeping Lin Chong around to recruit Lu Zhishen? Brilliant!
