A pretty long book (5k pages on my phone) and it feels even longer than that because a lot of it is extremely dense descriptions (instead of dialogue), so maybe 95% of it is plot, featuring politics, history, economics & business. Definitely not a book to read before bedtime, but surprisingly I made it till the end. The writing is engaging enough to keep the reader wanting to know what's gonna happen next.
The setting (民国) gives this book a somewhat serious/ tense feel to it, because at the back of your mind you know what's gonna happen next in history, but I'd say that even though 十个民国文九个虐,这位作者是亲妈,可以放心去读(毕竟读了5000页来换个BE真的会堵到心慌)
Side note/ 整篇文里楼逍大概说了不到300个字吧,绝对是我见过最寡言的主角之一,行动派一个
