In 'The Overcoat', Gogol uses a lot of detailed descriptions. For example, he vividly describes how Akaky Akakievich saves money for the overcoat. The overcoat itself is not just a piece of clothing but also a manifestation of the social hierarchy at that time. Poor people like Akaky have to struggle hard to afford something that seems basic to others. And when the overcoat is stolen, it's like his whole world collapses.
I'm not sure which specific story you're referring to. There could be many stories with a character named Nikolai and an 'equalizer' concept. Maybe more context is needed.
Well, a fanfiction about Nikolai and Zoya's kiss might explore their relationship in-depth. It could be set in a specific fictional world. Maybe it shows their growing affection through this kiss, and how it changes their dynamic.

The following is a detailed introduction of these novels:
1:"Double the opening opportunity, it's reasonable for me to be stronger by 100 million points, right?"
Luo Yao had transmigrated to the cultivation world and wanted to ascend to become an immortal. She also wanted to be immortal, but she realized that her talent was pitifully poor.
She had been stuck at the first qi layer for three years.
There was no hope of Foundation Establishment, so how could he become an immortal?
Fortunately, the golden finger still appeared.
As long as one threw eight dice, the number that appeared would be multiplied. It could be anything, whether it was pills, magic treasures, cultivation techniques, or even spells.
It was not just a doubling of quantity, but perhaps a doubling of quality.
Perhaps it was just an ordinary doubling, or it could be a power doubling.
What? I'm not talented?
Double, double, and double!
100 times talent, who said that my talent is bad?
Everyone was speechless.
What? I don't have a Dharma treasure?
Yes, I only have one piece of scrap metal!
However, evolution, evolution, and evolution!
Scrap iron? Now that it's a Celestial Artifact, it can also beat you up!
Everyone was speechless.
2."The Ordinary Observer of the Rapid Transference": For the survival of mankind, Shi Jiala self-destructed with the Zombie King. His soul was swept into the space-time turbulence and inadvertently bound to the Rapid Transference System. Thus, there was an additional mission taker who claimed to be an observer in the universe.
(The following is a summary of the responsibilities)
System: "Host, host, hurry up and attack. That's the male lead. Once you attack him, you'll succeed in your counterattack!" (The System's eyes lit up.)
Shi Jia (rolling his eyes disdainfully),"I'm not going…"
The System was anxious."Host, the difficulty of the male lead's strategy is very low. You just have to smile at him a little and you'll succeed." Didn't you say that you liked to display the rotten ones the most?
Shi Jia: Yeah, who doesn't like it rotten?
The System's Anticipation
Shi Jia looked at the System seriously and said,"I'm not here to attack the male lead. You have to know your identity and your mission."
The System thought,[I'm a guide, ah no, a counterattack (?)] The system was not fake, but did the Defiant System have a way to complete the mission? Did I remember wrongly?
Shi Jia was calm while the System was deep in thought…
3."I Simulate the Dream of the Red Chamber as a Girl": Qin Keqing, who has transmigrated into the Dream of the Red Chamber world, has obtained the life simulator.
Faced with the Ning residence's filth, Qin Keqing chose to escape.
In the first simulation, he was imprisoned by Jia Zhen.
In the second simulation, he was imprisoned by Jia Zhen.
……
For the Nth time, he successfully escaped but was captured again…
Sigh, I just want to live.
……
4.<<Wear It's Not Normal: They're All on the Edge of Darkness>>: Wu Shan was originally a glorious and noble princess, but because of the mission, her country was destroyed.
With the help of the Heavenly Axiom, she also began to "capture" the mission participants.
However, why did so many people not play by the rules?
The little eunuch used his soul as a matchmaker and crossed the space-time barrier just to meet her again.
"Your Highness," he cried before he died."Huan Qi is too stupid. He failed to protect you every time."
The young master of the miracle doctor lived in seclusion in the mountains and forests. He was jealous every day with her.
"You're so stupid. How can you live without me?" The white-robed young master's face was as white as jade.
The immortal cultivation disciple was pointed at by tens of thousands of people, and he was unwilling to hurt her even if she was destroyed.
He returned from his revenge and smiled at her."Master, you can only choose one between me and all living beings."
However, Wu Mountain had seen all kinds of beautiful men.
She said,"I don't want to reject it either, but I'm taking the script for a one-sided love."
So, I can only apologize ~
This article is also known as "The Female Lead Is Poisonous","The Female Lead of Universal Love","Don't Love Me, No Results"
The author thought about it for a long time.
[Note: There is no fixed male lead. I don't know if there is no CP or CP.]
5:"Wear It Quickly: A Legendary Figure": Female Lead's Series
💗💗💗💗💓
6."Get Lost":[No CP][Female Lead][Female Lead has no quality and is very fierce][Don't expect the female lead to have quality]
He was an excellent system, but the host was terrible. It was fine if the host did not follow his strategy, but every mission would destroy the character's image. He was extremely annoying.
As a responsible system, he decided to help the host recover his lost qualities.
Qi Ran had lost a very important part of her memory, but she felt that she had adapted well. She rejected the system's unreasonable strategy and continued to do as she pleased. In short, she did not feel that she had lost any quality.
7."He Walks on Earth": This is a world with elements, magic, and spirituality as the basic elements. Through these elements, one can cast magic, battle skills, and create miracles.
Humans had grown from weak to strong, from ignorant to arrogant. They worshipped the gods, respected them, coveted them, and destroyed them.
They built temples and destroyed temples, built statues and destroyed statues. They erased the names of the gods, erased the words of the gods, and erased the past of the gods. Finally, they broke away from the protection of the gods.
Towards independence?
Heh, humans are so capricious. When a new wave comes, a secret wave called the creation of gods appears, and our main character becomes the first candidate.
8:"Please Follow the Cultivation Script": No CP, First Female Lead
Ye Wuchen, male, possessed the Immortal Cultivation System. He was considered the most likely person in the Immortal Cultivation World to eliminate the Demon Lord because the Heavenly Axiom said so. There was only one problem.
It was a girl called Jiang Li.
Mistakes came one after another. Why was there nothing that was the same as what the Heavenly Dao said? Why did she become a bandit? Going into business? Why did he go to grave robbing?
Can't we follow the script of cultivation!

10:"Cultivate more, become a god after hacking?" Ji Xuan was bound by the [Life is Like a Play] system to travel through the Xianxia world. From then on, he was possessed by the drama spirit and ran amok (fake).
"Fellow Daoist Shen Ying, this tail feather is very good. Why don't you exchange it for money?"
"Fellow Daoist Feathered Snake, these wings are very good. Why don't you exchange them for money?"
"Fellow Daoist Giant Whale, the scenery here is very good. Why don't you join me to make money?"
Once the party started, Ji Xuan brought people into the sea and finally saved up enough spirit stones.
All the major sects put a bounty on the Mad Taoist.
-
"I'm just enforcing justice on behalf of the heavens. You're all hypocrites."
"I can't use this identity anymore. I'll cut my number."
-
After that, Ji Xuan successfully ascended and traveled many worlds, becoming addicted to acting.
"I think they lack a god."
"As a Demon Venerable, I am duty-bound."
Believe in me, I am your god.
Below the Demon Venerable, all the races went on a pilgrimage.
Transforming into a Longevity Immortal: Qin Jun becomes Monarch Green in a transmigration, and at the same time, he unlocks the Longevity Cheat.
The spirit controls the qi, the qi stays in the body, and there is no need for miscellaneous magic to live forever.
Black flying gold, rabbit flying jade, a grain of grain in the three worlds, mountains and rivers and earth dust for a few years.
Looking back, no one knew that I was a true immortal!
(P.S.: Change to a single character, don't enter unless you're happy!)
12."A Different God": That's right, whether it's good or evil, it's the power of will. Heaven and earth treat all things as straw dogs, which care about your height, fat and thin, even private to the public.
"Building a Sect from Zero": Xiao Ranran transmigrated to the Cultivation Continent.
Just as she thought that she was about to start drawing qi into her body with the female lead's script, cultivate and ascend to the peak of her life, the system told her,"Our mission is to build a sect, do more good deeds, take in disciples, and spread the mental cultivation method so that everyone can use better mental cultivation methods…"
Therefore, Xiao Ranran looked at the dilapidated house and was not surprised to hear the system say,"The houses here are too dilapidated. Host, remember to cut down the trees, dig up the soil, pull the grass, and repair them. The spiritual rice we provide is not enough for you to eat, so remember to open up wasteland and farm. The spiritual stones we give are not enough. You have to think of a way to earn money yourself."
Later, Xiao Ranran looked at the little radish head in front of her and fell into deep thought. What kind of position should she use to dig so that she would not tarnish her reputation and still appear like an immortal?
1. Farming + Construction + Cultivation, System
2. In the early stage, it was more about infrastructure + farming, and in the later stage, it was more about cultivation.
3. There's a male lead, but there's not much screen time.
4. Female Lead Wearing, Zero Foundation Immortal Cultivation, Requires Time to Catch Up to Others
[Wifey, are you looking at my head?]: The night was dark and the wind was high, and the candle flames were swaying.
Su Miao, who had traveled through the chaos of the Great Nether, was examining the mottled bronze mirror he had brought with him by the dim candlelight. A voice suddenly asked from behind him,"
"Wifey, are you looking at my head?"
What? Head? What brain?
Oh my, is it haunted?
Now that he remembered, his predecessor had encountered this strange thing. When he turned around, he was gone!
Now, it had come knocking on his door again!
Su Miao only felt his hair stand on end, and his tailbone emitted a chill!
There was only one thought in his mind:
Who am I?
Where am I?
What should I do?
