City of Storms
A Life in Seclusion Among the People Bai Juyi, Tang Dynasty The great recluse lives in the imperial court or the city; the lesser recluse retreats to the hills and fields.

Ahem... Well, you can probably tell from the list’s name that it may contain a fair number of oddballs. If you’re okay with that, consider this a recommendation. If not, think of it as a warning, haha. Still, life is exhausting, so in my free time I want something light and brainless, with plenty of feel-good moments. It still needs to make basic sense, though!!!! ( ̄▽ ̄) This list mainly features little sprouts and bigger sprouts between 50,000 and 900,000 characters. I’m partial to lightheart
Plot-Driven (Not for Beginners): Urban Fiction ④
The male and female leads shouldn't be too simplistic; they need to have their heads screwed on straight. The plot shouldn't be so predictable that you know the ending after the first few chapters, and it should have the occasional surprise. The writing shouldn't be full of formulaic exam-essay parallelisms or nonstop power-ups driven by impulse; it should have some substance. There are old and new books. The old ones are books I'd reread myself, while new books generally have at least 400,000 w

Some thoughts on Yin Hong's chapter
Yin Hong's story finally came to an end, but I still couldn't calm down for a long time. I felt sorry for Yin Hong. If it were a different era and a different environment, she might have a bright and brilliant future; I also lamented for Huang Xiaolan, who herself had already Even in hell, he still tried his best to help Yin Hong, even giving his life for it; more importantly, he hated the human traffickers and the Li family. It was precisely because of their inhuman existence that Yin Hong and Huang Xiaolan's miserable lives were created. This case is really well written, showing the worst side of human nature, but also the beauty of human nature. I hope the author can continue to work hard and achieve better results. I hope this book will have the opportunity to be adapted into a film and television, especially this case can be made into a movie on its own.
To be honest, the female protagonist is annoying, and the male protagonist is just a little leader. You will follow wherever the male protagonist is transferred. Who do you really think you are? Originally, it was said that there was a shortage of forensic doctors in the city, and there was a shortage of people. You went there, and not long after you worked, you went to the province, and now you go to other provinces. Secondly, the author, didn't you realize that 98% of your cases are in winter? When you are copying real-life cases, don't copy all winter cases.
The protagonist's official position in his previous life?
The author's setting for the protagonist is a high-ranking official who has climbed up from the bottom, a reborn person who has been struggling for many years, has experienced the vicissitudes of time, has seen all kinds of human nature, and has been an official for many years. The most basic point is that it is difficult to change the thinking and attitude of the superior. It can be understood as the arrogance in the bones and the unique temperament formed over many years. When a person travels around the world, it is natural that his vision and mind will no longer be limited to one family, one district, or one province. Even if this person is planning personal interests, his vision will not change. Even if the protagonist has no source of information now, the question he is subconsciously thinking about is definitely not how big the watermelon in front of him is. At present, the protagonist feels like a new recruit. In addition to his ability and aura of past life memory, his mental age is that of a young man. In other aspects, there are no traces of his many years as an official. He suffers... It would be better to write from the beginning that the protagonist was a captain from his previous life to his death, an ordinary person who dedicated his whole life to the county and hometown. At least it conforms to the protagonist's thoughts and behavioral habits. Anyone who becomes an official is still an official who can climb up. Nothing is simple, unless it is a miracle, and the protagonist is that one person out of ten thousand, the fish that slips through the net. In the first case at the beginning, the protagonist behaved impetuously, acted recklessly, and was full of doubts. As a normal person, if your family has been acting strangely recently, wouldn't you be curious? What's more, it's the police, and a group of police officers. The description is not detailed enough, and the transition is not beautifying enough. The second case seems to be the credit of the protagonist, but I can feel that the protagonist's halo has dropped significantly. This is intentional by the author. I guess the author wants to create a powerful protagonist instead of a protagonist with a halo, but this downward trend is too conspicuous. When both cases are over, he can't wait to paint the walls and whitewash the halo. We have taken a big step forward. Since the author has already written that the protagonist has an aura from his past life, why not highlight the memory part? The protagonist's memory is gradually blurring in other corners. This discovery was also noticed by the protagonist inadvertently. When a person suffers from mania or gradually loses some memories, he will definitely not notice it at the first time, just like a person cannot remember everything that happened in childhood in detail. Changes are subtle.

Good! Good! Good!
Among the crime-solving stories that Qidian is updating, I would like to call this book the best one, bar none. The protagonist is not a virgin, decisive in killing, but also humane. It has both exciting and explosive points. The book "Rebirth of 1997" is the first case written and it is okay. I am writing the first one. The author Tai Wenqing was revealed during the case, and this is even more true for the following small cases. I think this book is very suitable for film and television. Maybe because of the similar names, when I read this book, the protagonist is the actor Yang Xuwen (played by Lu Lingfeng in "The Strange Stories of the Tang Dynasty")
There is a serious error in the police rank
The writing is good, but there are serious mistakes in the police ranks. In Chapter 137, Yang Jinwen was awarded the first-class police inspector, but in Chapter 228, he received the merit and award but was awarded the third-level police inspector. That was not a merit and award, but a demotion. According to the regulations on police rank, from smallest to largest, they are: Constable II, Constable I, Superintendent III, Superintendent II, Superintendent I, Inspector III, Inspector II, Inspector I, Superintendent IV, Superintendent III, Superintendent II, Superintendent I, Deputy Chief Superintendent, and Chief Superintendent. Going from Inspector Level 1 to Inspector Level 3 is not an upgrade, but a demotion. I hope the author can correct the above errors!
So well written
I don't know if the writer can read my comments. I am not very knowledgeable. I graduated from elementary school. I am over 30 years old this year. I have been reading novels for 20 years. The characterization and plot of your novel, including the description of the scene, feel so perfect. Really, every case including the extras can make me immersed in it. Please continue to work hard. I will read your novel carefully. Thank you 🌹
The author writes well
When reading most criminal investigation novels, the creators often have a common problem with the online game model. For example, criminal investigation cases are regarded as tasks that are refreshed every day in the union, and a small place can have more than a dozen murders a month. Or they treat solving crimes as an upgrade by defeating monsters. The whole process focuses on the level improvement brought by the protagonist's solving of cases, giving people a strange feeling that solving crimes is equivalent to promotion and wealth. This book handles these aspects quite well. The author does not just focus on the protagonist, but spends time describing the impact of the case on the victim, the victim's family, and the interpersonal relationships around the criminal. This avoids the task-oriented reading experience brought about by over-focusing on the protagonist. At the same time, it highlights the importance of the protagonist in protecting people's lives and property. The replacement of the map and the addition of supporting characters bring more freshness to reading. In terms of case entry, the anti-trafficking case is not the entry into the case, but the disappearance and murder. The harm of trafficking is revealed through the life trajectory of the trafficked person, which is more clever than the preaching summary of the protagonist after the case in some works.
I really don't understand why an ordinary-looking colleague has to have a tall and beautiful sister, and he has to be dragged to the police station to deal with Wen Ling. What I'm looking at is the case-solving text, not the emotional entanglement and love story between the protagonist of the Chengbei branch and the beauties.
