Summary

A quintessential urban Soldier King power-fantasy. The opening uses the contrast of a fallen Soldier King guarding a warehouse to build tension; the protagonist plays the fool to devour the tiger, and the rhythm of face-slapping villains is brisk, while the banter between the Soldier King and the beautiful female officer is quite comedic. Suited to readers who enjoy hot-blooded face-slapping and easy wish-fulfillment. Weaknesses: the formula is obvious, supporting characters are one-dimensional, the romance is handled rather crudely, and the later plot inevitably pads itself out.

Editor's review

A typical urban soldier-king power fantasy. The opening creates tension through the contrast of a down-and-out soldier king guarding a warehouse. The protagonist plays the fool to devour the tiger, and the rhythm of face-slapping villains is brisk, while the banter between the soldier king and the beautiful female officer is quite comedic. Suited to readers who prefer hot-blooded face-slapping and easy wish-fulfillment. The shortcomings are an obvious formula, one-dimensional supporting characters, crudely handled romance, and inevitably padded later plot.
