From Bullets To Billions

A type of book I always wanted to write. I've had this idea for years, and finally I can write it. A break away from the fantasy stories I usually write, but still a story with plenty of action, power growth and more.

Reveal Spoiler

I'll be giving it a shot but I'll be surprised if I stick with it. If you've read one JKS book, you've read them all. They all have the same incidents and tropes and plot development. There's gonna be plenty of crucial occasions where the MC would be unconscious/out of commission/trapped/breaking through/or otherwise occupied only to appear at the last possible moment. Whatever plans the antagonists gave will succeed and the MC and his followers will have to find an alternate method to stop them. Critical moments will have POV changes to enable cliffhangers and immersion will be a thing of the past. After a certain point in the story, side character POVs will take center stage and the protagonist will be relegated to be a side character. There will also be innumerable coincidences that hinders the protagonist just so the plot can be dragged along.

After reading 7 chapters, I can say that I saw so many contradictions in these 7 chapters that I haven't seen even in Chinese works with 1000 chapters. We see a gangster who is reincarnated but he doesn't even have the skill to speak like a 13 year old. This clearly goes back to the fact that the author has no knowledge of a gangster in the real world, which is fine, but he could have written at least a mature character. The main character doesn't feel like a boss at all, more like a servant. After the reincarnation, we see that the main character can feel the emotions of the previous person but doesn't have his memories, which is very strange. Memories are stored in the hippocampus of the brain, and emotions are part of the limbic system, so why are only emotions limited to him? The next thing goes back to the character of MC... I really can't imagine such a person being a gangster in his previous life without having any moral red lines? Clearly the main character looks like a teenager who hasn't done much in his life, sort of like this new body he's reincarnated in. And this shows that his previous life was completely useless and he hasn't developed at all. And several other things..... but i give 5 star for the author's writing quality and world background If it weren't for at least a few of these inconsistencies, it would have been one of my best works.

honestly, I don't know how to feel with JKS jumping into another different genre... at first, i was shocked but now I see that he has really cooked well in this book... Writing quality, peak, storyline, peak as always...i was so immersed in the book that i didn't want it to end... i highly recommend this book to readers as the G.O.A.T has cooked again for us to enjoy... can't wait to see how Max will survive in this new, wealthy world. also, I hope we will be seeing a lot of action packed fights.

this is my first gang war novel I am reading other than that i have only read manhwa. pacing is alright neither to fast not to slow and About action i cannot be certain since there are only 6 chapter now so let's wait and see how author potrait action scene .

I have yet to start reading, but I know that this book will be masterpiece. I mean, it's JKSManga we're talking about here, author of MVS, this book is bound to be legendary. (You're my favourite author btw❤)

Finally, another JKS book, and I already love the starting. Can't wait to see how this continues

seems like a good start, I have a lot of faith in this author

Finally another soon to be CLASSIC by the best JKS Manga!!! Let's Go!!

Of course, it's amazing. Look at who's writing it! Seriously though, I'm totally into it, and it's only 44 chapters in. I hope there will be many more to come!

An initial review. I once read somewhere an interview of JKS in which he said when he started to write, he wrote mostly for himself as he didn't have a fandom built yet. Now, he is one of the biggest names on WN, known for a certain genre, yet he breaks away from that and writes sth he wished to write. You are one of the authors who 'pushed' me to stop dwaddling and to start writing. Huge respect and a lot of goodluck to your new work. Have added it. And I am sure, like everything you have written, the passion and love for the project will shine through. The story feeld genuine. It reminds me og the old days when it was simple but direct action novels without x times cheats and who knows whatnot mixed within.

Can’t wait to see where this is goin and how Max is going to navigate his new station! JKS’ world building is always top notch.

So far it looks great as expected from jks can’t wait for more!
