The Two-Faced Man of America

I remembered this today and specifically checked out the author; they've started a new book. After reading it, I found it's just old wine in new bottles, and not even the wine from their first book—it's the same content as their previous flop. It's the same old problem: the subject matter keeps getting more and more niche.

What's the point? It's just being a gangster, no special abilities, yet it's so exciting. If you die, it's all for nothing.

The Gunman novel features a cheat-like ability, and while the exciting moments are restrained, the descriptions are still very vivid. I gave up on the second book because it didn't have any cheat codes. Even without a cheat code, this book would be very difficult to write in its first three chapters.

When there's a cheat code, that cheat code is the biggest illogical thing. When there's no cheat code, everything is illogical!

I couldn't stand it after reading a few chapters; it was both smutty and idiotic. I thought it was my problem, but then I checked the comments section and it was full of people cursing.

What kind of garbage is this? I came for a gunslinger story, but it's completely different. I can't even finish reading it. The protagonist's actions are just too stupid. I dropped it before it even went on sale.

I think I should rewrite a gunfight novel. I really loved the North American police story you described in your last book. I often watch American-style Iaijutsu on Bilibili and Douyin, and I especially loved your last book; it's the best North American police story on Qidian. The plot is incredibly exciting, but not overly exaggerated to make it immersive!

Please finish this book soon and start a new one. I'd like to write an urban detective novel similar to "Gunman," and I suggest avoiding the fantasy world element. You could consider a system or a cheat system. I enjoy novels with decisive action and gunfights. 🙏

Is this really written by the author of Gunslinger? It feels like an AI-generated story from an account-selling studio.

When an author says they just want to write what they want to write and leave the success to fate, I can only say that they are either a top-tier writer or a stubborn, pretentious person. In today's market, unless you already have a hit, if you start by writing your own things, even if your work is excellent, you will hardly succeed. If you don't cater to the market, the market will only eliminate you.
