Gold Class Fighter

Description

Yang Lei turned around. The moment he turned, with the sound of the wind, a brick smashed onto Yang Lei’s head. Yang Lei wasn’t even aware of when someone had gotten close from behind.

Fresh blood flowed down from his forehead, blurring his eyes. Through the spray of blood, Yang Lei saw a person. A tall and thin, clean man, expressionlessly smashing a second brick onto Yang Lei’s face.

A long time later Yang Lei recalled, what had left the deepest impression in his mind was that white dress shirt on the other person’s body. That white dress shirt was dazzling, white as snow, spotlessly clean; very few fighters dressed so cleanly. That white dress shirt was quickly dyed red with blood, Yang Lei’s blood.

They were gold class fighters, number one warriors of two crime bosses. They had experienced countless fierce battles, establishing their status in Jianghu. From rivals to friends, to brothers who would live together and die together.

What was a brother? Many years later, you say the word, my life, I give to you.

A man’s friendship, a man’s love.

Loved this novel. This was a rare one that had enough action and drama to keep me interested from start to finish. This novel touched on some painful topics that many/most danmei glaze over, such as h*mophobia and the inability to be with your loved one because the world won't accept it. Really heartbreaking. But regardless they get their happy ending and nothing toooo terrible happens to the main characters. They are both very good men with strong senses of honor and respect. They are also both very manly and... more>> could easily be reversible/switch, although I don't recall that they ever did within the story.

The feeling of this story is, overall, happy imo. And I'm glad that there was no love triangle or betrayal or non consent between the main characters or that sort of thing, in this. They really love each other. Also the smut is SO GOOD and SO MUCH. So much of it is smut, but it all actually is important to the plot and understanding the development of their relationship so it doesn't get boring. I really wish more authors would write smut like this!!!!!!!! And I wish this author produce more works!

My only slight criticism is that I would've liked to hear more about their future relationship and how their family and friends accepted it and all those other longer-term details, in the extras. Now I will always be curious. <<less

I made an account just so I could give this the 5 stars it deserves.

I thoroughly enjoyed this story and got quite attached to its cast of characters. The focus is mainly on the two leads, but the author does well in making everyone else seem real and relevant as well. I especially liked how the side characters are actually the main drivers of events, while our leads are usually the reactive party. Makes it more exciting and feel more real -- our boys are crazy strong, but are victims... more>> of circumstance the way any regular person is.

Fang Yu and Yang Lei's world is ugly and dirty, and our protagonists can't truly be considered good people, but I loved them because they are portrayed as human and capable of growth, and I was rooting for their happiness the whole time.

The novel isn't perfect, of course, and I think there are itty bits of problematic stereotypes related to gender that are still hidden in the author's voice. The narrator, however, is a man living in the 90s, so we should expect his cultural ideals to reflect his time. So when I can tell that it's Yang Lei's voice that is doing the stereotyping, I can actually appreciate the realism. I'm glad GCF addressed the period typical h*mophobia, and also that it breaks the typical mould of MC/ML characteristics and dynamics. The female characters, while few in number, are portrayed well, which I was so glad to see given how unfairly they are treated in so many other novels.

Some people don't like that GCF uses such constant foreshadowing, and while I can admit that the author could stand to cut out a few instances of it, it did help keep me interested and anticipatory so I won't complain. I think the foreshadowing blends well with the theme of nostalgia too.

The translator did great. IMO, the pros wholly eclipse the cons. I don't know what else to say but that this is truly one of the best things I've read on this site. <<less

Excellent writing. Hats off. Gangsters are also humans. They also have hearts. They also long for respect, love, care. We should definitely give them second chance to live an ordinary life. Love the author. I wish hua mao would get a good life partner who will treat him well. Pls respect humans no matter what their sexuality is. Humanity comes first, nothing else is important than a life.

I LOVE the MC and the ML. They're definitely one of my top 10 favorite pairings here.

But the author has a weird fixation on comparing a MM and MF relationship, putting down MF relationships as less pure or real or intense or whatever was the descriptor being used in the context.

Not to mention that it's actually lowkey homophobic when the author keeps emphasizing that MC/ML weren't really gay or not the same kind as the other openly gay side characters. It's just that, MC/ML just happened to like each other.... more>> Like? You're getting hard-ons and f*cking. You can't be any gayer than that.

There are also other problematic tidbits here and there but the story is a good balance of angst and romance. I don't think it was tied up neatly though, but overall I enjoyed reading the story. <<less

The characters were all so well written that after finishing, I was in disbelief that they didn't exist in real life. 10/10

this was an amazing story, definitely a emotional rollercoaster. I'm glad it had a happy ending. The MC and ML love for each other was genuine and pure, the struggles of their orientation during those times. All the characters were well written and I'm glad that Hua Mao also received love that we so longed for. A must read.

It's a beautiful story

I loved the character of MC (yang lei) and ML (fang yu)

Especially fang yu, he is my favourite character in this novel, at the end it gets really angsty, you can feel the pain of yang lei when he finds out everything, and you can also feel the care of fang yu for yang lei.

... more>> They both love each other (obsessively), they are quite possessive of each other, both of them are strong characters.

the end was quite realistic, fang yu, he was such a beautiful character, he is tough, playful, gentle, loyal, strong, the challenges he faces and his emotions are clearly felt.

I just want to say that if you want to read this novel then, go for it. <<less

This is the 2nd time I attempted to finish the novel. The romance was really a bit fast for me. I actually love the dynamics between the couple it's just that there seems to be a lot of conflicts going on in the story.

I know it's s*upid for me to say that but this may really not for me. The story is about growth and brotherhood. Since this is set from the 80s to 90s, (at the point I am reading), do expect that there will be a lot... more>> of discrimination and homophobic topics. I am also quite surprised that there are a lot of R18+ scenes included in the story.

Although I said that this may not be for me, I actually wanted to know how they got separated and what happens to them in the future.

I may need to pick this up again when I'm up for action and long chapters to read. For now, I decided to pause at 63 chapter first. <<less
