In this era where all energy is provided by emeralds, Bai Jing accidentally comes into contact with gambling stones, and his most useless powers in his previous life become the strongest in gambling stones.

The Idiot by Fyodor Dostoevsky

The Idiot is a novel by the 19th-century Russian author Fyodor Dostoevsky. It was first published serially in the journal The Russian Messenger in 1868–69. The title is an ironic reference to the central character of the novel, Prince (Knyaz) Lev Nikolayevich Myshkin, a young man whose goodness, open-hearted simplicity and guilelessness lead many of the more worldly characters he encounters to mistakenly assume that he lacks intelligence and insight. In the character of Prince Myshkin, Dostoevsky set himself the task of depicting "the positively good and beautiful man." The novel examines the consequences of placing such a unique individual at the centre of the conflicts, desires, passions and egoism of worldly society, both for the man himself and for those with whom he becomes involved. Joseph Frank describes The Idiot as "the most personal of all Dostoevsky's major works, the book in which he embodies his most intimate, cherished, and sacred convictions." It includes descriptions of some of his most intense personal ordeals, such as epilepsy and mock execution, and explores moral, spiritual and philosophical themes consequent upon them. His primary motivation in writing the novel was to subject his own highest ideal, that of true Christian love, to the crucible of contemporary Russian society. The artistic method of conscientiously testing his central idea meant that the author could not always predict where the plot was going as he was writing. The novel has an awkward structure, and many critics have commented on its seemingly chaotic organization. According to Gary Saul Morson, "The Idiot violates every critical norm and yet somehow manages to achieve real greatness." Dostoevsky himself was of the opinion that the experiment was not entirely successful, but the novel remained his favourite among his works. In a letter to Strakhov he wrote: "Much in the novel was written hurriedly, much is too diffuse and did not turn out well, but some of it did turn out well. I do not stand behind the novel, but I do stand behind the idea.

Shanghai Gambler Lord

In 1937, Shanghai was engulfed in treacherous turmoil. Divided into three domains—the Chinese District, the French Concession, and the International Settlement—the city became a tangled web of scheming forces: Japanese invaders, traitorous collaborators, and the Green Gang, each harbouring sinister ulterior motives. Chen Tianci, a humble dock labourer, gambled away all his savings in a reckless game while trying to raise money to cure his grandmother back in the countryside. Pushed to the brink of despair, he devoted himself relentlessly to mastering gambling skills—card shuffling, dealing, and identifying cards by sound. He soon awakened an extraordinary power of perception. From then on, he dominated the gambling circles of Shanghai, eventually rising to become the legendary God of Gamblers. Sato Ichiro, a Japanese military officer, sought to recruit him as an ally. Su Xiwen, a traitor, led six ruthless executioners to lie in wait for him, while the Thirteen Titans of the Chinese District vied to draw him into their fold. Yet Chen Tianci remained unyielding to all enticements. He never forgot why he gambled: all the gold and silver he won was turned into grain for the common folk, tuition fees for impoverished students, and ammunition for the anti-Japanese resistance. This is not merely the legend of one man, but the unwavering integrity of a loyal heart standing firm in chaotic times. When the nation faced mortal peril, the chips on the gambling table were destined to become the stakes for the survival of the Chinese nation.

Writing Quality is 4.3/5 from me since the way the author describes things were easy to understand and wouldn't be much problem unless you're such a picky grammar reader. The update's stability is five, considering how the author able to update many chapters on the same day. Looking at the way the story goes fairly smoothly and logically without any hint of awkward development, I guess 4.7 is not a bad rate for the story development. Here's the unique. The MC was a gambler, but unlike any other gambler, he is surprisingly the opposite of a bad gambler, a good gambler with family being the centre of his life. He was bold enough to leave his job/hobby as a gambler to make his family's relationship goes well. The MC's wife also quite mischievous and tend to prank MC and her son. There is this moment where the MC's wife also broke out in tears upon knowing the MC's source of money was entirely came from gambling. This shows how MC's wife is another human being and not an expressionless robot, unlike in some novels. The MC's son was designed like a child of his age. Full of curiosity, childish, and reckless. The author has described the world background perfectly at the start of the novel. Hence, 5 stars from me <3
