Description
In Silver Hammer City, the infamous cyber psychopath Ning Zhuo ends up sleeping with his archenemy Shan Feibai, whom he had rescued. On the third day, Ning Zhuo finally calmed down and retrieved the dismantled Shan Feibai from the scrapyard. Ning Zhuo: “This won’t happen again. Or I’ll castrate you.” Shan Feibai: “…” Ning Zhuo: “I want you to say ‘yes.’” Shan Feibai: “Yes.” ___ At thirteen, the young master of the Shan family, Shan Feibai, was kidnapped. Mercenary Ning Zhuo happened to pass by and, acting heroically, almost lost his life. Three months later, Shan Feibai was disgracefully kicked out of his home. However, he didn’t come out of it empty-handed, leaving a lifelong bite mark on Ning Zhuo’s finger. … At eighteen, Shan Feibai reappeared in Ning Zhuo’s world. He had taken a contract to lead a team to kill Ning Zhuo. With a bright, expectant smile, he asked, “Brother, do you still think I’m useless?” Three days later, Ning Zhuo, barely surviving, broke Shan Feibai’s leg while injured. … In the fifth year of their mutual enmity, twenty-three-year-old Shan Feibai jokingly kissed the scar he left on Ning Zhuo’s shoulder. Ning Zhuo gritted his teeth: “Shan, you did this on purpose, didn’t you?” Shan Feibai laughed heartlessly: “Yes, it was on purpose.” ___ The love story of two ruthless men.

My Thoughts on Untamed Enemy
"Untamed Enemy" grabbed my attention from the start with its blend of cyberpunk, action, and, surprisingly, heart. It's a wild ride through a dystopian world, and while not perfect, it's definitely a novel that has stuck with me.
First Impressions
The world-building is what immediately hooked me. This isn't your run-of-the-mill sci-fi; it's a gritty, hyper-capitalistic society where the rich run rampant and the poor are crushed underfoot. The author paints a vivid picture of Silver Hammer City, a place where technology has advanced but humanity seems to have regressed. The stark contrast between the elite and the slums, the pervasive corruption, and the overall sense of hopelessness really sets the stage for a compelling story.
What Works Well
The characters are a major strength. Ning Zhuo, the MC, is a complex character, walking the line between ruthless avenger and compassionate protector. His schemes are intricate and satisfying to watch unfold. Shen Feibei, the ML, is a great match for him, and their dynamic is a highlight. Their relationship is a slow burn, filled with tension, banter, and a shared history that adds layers to their interactions.
I also appreciated the supporting cast. Each character has their own distinct personality and backstory, making them feel like real people living in this brutal world. The villains are deliciously evil, and it's incredibly satisfying to see them get their comeuppance. The plot itself is well-structured, with everything tying together neatly. It's a story about revenge, justice, and the lengths people will go to for what they believe in.
Areas of Concern
While I enjoyed the romance overall, I can see why some readers might find the pacing a bit off. The initial animosity between the MC and ML felt a little forced at times, and the transition to lovers could have been smoother. Also, as much as I loved the world-building, the ending felt somewhat rushed. The escape from Silver Hammer City felt a bit too convenient.

Final Verdict
Despite some minor flaws, "Untamed Enemy" is a gripping and unforgettable novel. The world-building is top-notch, the characters are compelling, and the plot is full of twists and turns. If you're a fan of cyberpunk, enemies-to-lovers, and stories with a strong sense of justice, I highly recommend giving this one a read. I'd rate it a solid 4.5 out of 5 stars.
