Rousseau also seemed to come out of left field for the final battle. I know "Rousseau" was briefly mentioned in an early chapter. It just felt odd that Haina and Panqiao seemed to be set up as the biggest bads of the mercenary world, only for corporate-affiliated mercenaries to be introduced, and, on top of that, these corporate-affiliated mercenaries are said to be more powerful than underground groups. But maybe this was just me making unfounded assumptions.

MC had always planned to die after carrying out his revenge plan, even after getting together with ML. ML is very upset and wants to convince MC to keep on living with him, and it feels like MC gives in too easily. Felt like that could be more drawn out and take longer for MC to realize he can live for ML instead of living for revenge.

I wouldn't say this is pure enemies to lovers because they had a secret history... and ML is definitely the one who kept chasing the MC who was too clueless to realize it.

gurl, the extras.... of Boss Fu...... broooo 😭😭😭 the sad ending for that caught me so offguard, why wasn't there a parallel world extra or an extra more to the future where Fang Jiankai can be revived or smth, I'm so sad for Boss Fu

Editorial: “On the Citizen System of Silver Hammer City”

Recently, there have been rumors that citizens of Silver Hammer City are classified into four levels: A, B, C, and D, with a certain seriousness attached.

"..."

Of course, resources available decrease sequentially from A to D, and there is much outcry over this perceived injustice.

This so-called “injustice” is obviously baseless.

Levels naturally exist.

From the dawn of humanity, there have been hierarchies among people. This has been eternal and unremarkable, so why be so shocked?

We live in Silver Hammer City, a rare enclave still teeming with life amidst great disaster. Our lives are tough, our future uncertain, and resources scarce. Naturally, they should be concentrated among those who contribute more.

This isn’t discrimination; it’s a way of survival.

Some citizens, who are complacent and unwilling to strive for a better job or change their living conditions, still wish to enjoy things beyond their means, such as natural milk and fruits, or “Dionysus World.” This is a shameless behavior.

We suggest these citizens, who are quick to point out class issues but never reflect on themselves, to devote more energy to self-improvement, complain less, and work harder. By stepping out of their narrow world, they might discover different beauties and opportunities.

Maybe it doesn't count because the ML never really hated the MC? Well, in the end, he had a slight resentment, so I'll say yes. By the way, it's 'enemies' to lovers, not 'haters, ' so you can be enemies without hating to death... I guess

in Ning Zhuo's change of heart, as he was willing to die at the end of his grand plan.

First of all, why did it take Ning Zhuo more than ten years to carry out his plan? We follow all of his strategies, but I still can't see what part of his revenge actually required that much time.

And while I get him avenging his friends and everything, it sometimes felt like his personal goals were sidelined in favor of their storylines.

Also, He ultimately got his revenge, yes, but the death of his main enemy felt weak. Sure, Ning Zhuo destroyed him socially and psychologically, and I really like it, but we never even saw the villain break down or die. It was... anticlimactic.

Even Ning Zhuo himself seemed strangely indifferent after achieving what he'd spent years preparing for.

And then there's the boat plot.

Yes, I know Silver Hammer is a dark and corrupt place, but the idea that they suddenly built another boat and managed to escape, when no one else ever could, felt incredibly superficial and unrealistic. It was too easy. I would have preferred an ending where they stayed in a more stable situation, with their enemies defeated and only a distant hope of escape someday. As written, it just felt dreamlike and unbelievable.

Also, their first time together was also awkward, it didn't feel romantic, almost like a r*pe, and the chemistry between them seemed to somehow fade afterward.

I don't understand why most people think the ML's motives are illogical. To some extent, I understand him very well. He tries to be anything—I mean anything—in the MC's life, no matter what, as long as he leaves a mark and the MC notices him under any circumstances.

So I felt their dynamic was beautiful; I have no problem with it. Maybe my taste is flawed, haha.

I cried, without exaggeration, about three times until my face was swollen, without any exaggeration, over Boss fu. I literally can't get over how his relationship with Xiao Fang ended before it even began, how he named them both out of a desire to find home. In the end, Boss Fu get to his home, but where is Xiao Fang? I wish I could write something about them, just to myself, a happy ending like I wished, but I felt I might distort Xiao Fang's character, the very thing Boss Fu was terrified of and afraid to fix xiao fang because of. He was a human being, a living creature, a soul, and he died for just an arm. I can never get over it. I also have a simple prediction: Boss Fu values ​​his body immensely, regardless of Xiao Fang's sacrifice or not. His features are unrecognizable, unnaturally ordinary, and easily forgotten. His existence is erased, and he has no name. He's more like a robot than a human. He learned from his mother's death as if it were just a lesson, not a trauma that shattered his life. He has no preferences, no negative or positive opinions, not even a burning desire for revenge. Xiao Fang was closer to being human than The robot, and Boss Fu, are more robotic than human, what a joke, right?

Although writing Boss Fu's name is difficult, I can never forget it. I'll keep it etched in my memory so that someone else will remember him along with Xiao Fang.

But I'm really annoyed that my favorite character had such a terrible ending. At least he had a family, I think. Even if they left him, he still had the little apple.

Who am I even fooling?

I can't move on—never.

How could Boss Fu, who barely had any human traits to begin with,

only discover his tiny, almost-not-even-called "favorites"

with Xiao Fang?

In the end, this homeless man finally found his home.

And just as he was about to settle forever with the one he loved,

he lost everything in a single moment—

because of a word said as a joke

(at least, that's how I see it).

Who could have imagined that Xiao Fang would give up his life

just to save Boss Fu's hand,

only because Boss Fu said he'd rather die

than use a prosthetic instead of his real hand?

His sacrifice was his own choice, and I respect it.

But Boss Fu?

What about him?

Xiao Fang was the only person close to him,

the only one he could ever call family.

I can't imagine how he lived like that for ten years.

At least back then, he had a whole family—

but then they all disappeared,

and only the little apple remained,

the one who used to call him "Papa Fu."

Even he moved to the same street where Xiao Fang once was.

Is fate calling Boss Fu

to reclaim the family he always longed for?

How will he live alone now?

Xiao Fang used to feel sad when Boss Fu talked to himself

and no one answered—

he didn't want him to be alone.

I wish their ending had been happy.

I wish it had only been a cruel, heavy joke.

I wish Xiao Fang were alive somewhere.

But I think... this is reality.

I wish there were another world

where they could be happy together,

where they could live long

until the world itself faded around them.

I wish.

The problem is, I can't imagine that other world.

It feels like I'm stepping on what Boss Fu fears most—

that his beloved Xiao Fang would be replaced,

that he wouldn't be the one he knew.

He was a human being.

How dare I distort him and imagine him differently?

I've started to fear even reading another novel.

They both deserve to be remembered,

to be mourned enough

until my heart calms,

until my conscience rests.

I don't want to forget them.

I don't want to erase their existence from my memory.

Their suffering exist,

How dare I forget and run away?
