After reading about 300 chapters, I couldn't hold back any longer and had to rant a bit. The author can read it if they want, otherwise just ignore what I'm saying. The story clearly aims to make money through mercenaries, but then they jump into arms dealing. Especially since their core team is just a small squad, practically devoid of any trusted confidants.
The author probably wanted to give the protagonist a transformation, but a retired soldier, his parents deceased, two children to support, fighting for survival in a chaotic war zone, and still so naive and childish in the beginning… You should quit writing web novels and become a proper author…
The idea that the protagonist withstood interrogation is nonsense. They're already using high technology; they could just give you an injection and you'd be obedient. One injection wouldn't work; they could just increase the dosage, and the side effect would be intellectual impairment. Do you think they'd care about any side effects?
The protagonist is too individualistic and heroic.
As the title suggests, the protagonist already has his own team, but he's still always a lone wolf on missions. One person against a team of hundreds. That's the true urban king of soldiers, the unyielding mercenary.
No wonder it's not popular. The very first story is completely out of place with the mercenary premise. From being passively drawn into the battle at the beginning to the so-called breakout at the dam, to the later group of reporters taking pictures... Do you even realize you're playing mercenaries? You're writing a "battle of wits" on par with a group of urban gangsters! 😅
The opening chapters of this book have many flaws. I've summarized them. The reason is that protagonists in these kinds of books are usually decisive and ruthless, but the protagonist at the beginning of this book is too... Indecisive. This creates many small logical loopholes (killing two people without picking up the gun, the author and fans gave the reason: running with a gun would make him…
To comply with the request, I'll start a character thread.
This book is mostly set overseas, so names need to be foreign names; ethnicity is up to you. For example, female characters should have personalities that fit the military theme for better character development; I don't understand harem elements. Format: Character Name: Nickname: Personality: Appearance:
I've read over 300 chapters, and it seems the author is running out of ideas.
The first three hundred chapters are the most exciting, with well-arranged chapter lengths and pacing, from individual to organization, and the process of developing the organization is full of ups and downs, with various supporting characters also having good roles.
Having read over a hundred chapters, the author's writing is good, but it overemphasizes the protagonist's individual heroism, weakening teamwork. Almost every battle involves the protagonist single-handedly taking on dozens of enemies. While occasional "superhuman" moments are acceptable, watching him dominate in every battle becomes tiresome.
Seventh Official, do you want tickets? Just say the word, and I'll bring them to you in a bit.
