Review Detail of benevida in The First Order

This is a rare masterpiece. Are you looking for a powerful, intelligent protagonist? Are you looking for fleshed-out, thought-provoking villains? Do you want a mix of complex, interesting side characters? Do you want a whiff of romance without the overbearing stench of sordid detail? Then you have found a winner. This is the tale of a young man's struggle in a post-apocolyptic China to find peace for himself and his family. He'll face bandits, hegemons, corporations, soldiers, and honeypots that get in his way. He will awake one day to a 'system' for him to get stronger, and square up against foes with superpowers. But it will never be easy, and it will always feel earned. The world of this novel feels tangible. I can feel the grit under my feet and sense the emotions of the characters without them having to be spelled out. It builds slowly, but not ploddingly. It's not (very) jingoist, and you feel you yourself are in the main character's shoes. Best of all, by the end of the novel, you will feel like you've completed the adventure... although there is a sequel! (as yet untranslated...) My advice is to give it a shot.
