The Vampire in the Hutong

It's so cliché; the male lead is always male, and the female lead is always female.

After Tianjin, it's Beijing; the next book should be about Shanghainese, and the one after that about Guangzhou.

Qidian doesn't have the "dual protagonist" label, but I have to emphasize that there are dual protagonists. You can think of Wang Yuan as the male lead and Dewen as the second male lead. Furthermore, the two main characters are best friends and partners (without the stuff some people are thinking; if you're expecting that, scroll past now).

First of all, he's a bit too talkative, making it seem like he can't speak properly, and he always has to interrupt when we're doing serious business. Secondly, according to the theory in the book, the supernatural and technology rise and fall in opposite directions. The timeline in the book hasn't gone back much, yet a series of serious incidents have occurred.

Drinking blood, you have to drink it from the rim of the bowl! That's how you do it properly.

Third Master

Having two male leads, one playing the straight man and the other the comedian, isn't a problem; a pair of hilariously funny characters is quite good too. The main plot, aside from the banter and witty banter of the crosstalk performers, is too messy. The first part is basically the story of an elderly, stoic crosstalk investigator in England who keeps up his antics. What is this book?

Ladies and gentlemen, this has been trading sideways for several days now; this is a scene I've never seen before. For some authors, readership increases, while for others it decreases; there's at least some fluctuation. As for me, I'm like an evergreen pine tree high on a mountain, completely absorbed in meditation... Frighteningly stable. Please, please help this story!

Looking at the outline, it's a shame; it would have been quite good if written in a light novel style.

It seems that apart from the Zuo family elders, there are no other national-level oversight personnel in Beijing. Especially that Qian Sisi, the suspected vampire puppeteer who was transformed—has she been hidden for centuries without anyone watching? Two rifts opened within Beijing's Second Ring Road, specifically targeting murder, yet Zuo Can's colleagues didn't provide significant support.
