Hidden Assassin
by Angry Banana
A more character-emotional urban rebirth story than the title suggests, but relationship and tone caveats keep it niche.
What it is about
Gu Jiaming, a weary assassin, returns to childhood and tries to build a warmer life while old violence, urban powers, and complicated relationships keep pulling him back.

Reviews
Hidden Assassin is strongest when it slows down for found-home emotion and weakest when its old-school relationship handling pushes readers away.
