Introduction This was an era when steam technology and steam magic exploded, but society was stagnant due to the monopoly of the church. This was an era of increasing corruption within the church and insufficient technological control, which led to the rise of a large amount of new industrial capital against the nobility and the church. People are constantly exploring the limits of steam machinery, exploring the promotion system that steam magic should have, and exploring the space between humans, nature, and gods. This is an era when hundreds of schools of thought are flourishing, and this is an era when the situation in the major sanctuaries of the church's confederations is collapsing. 2. Plot, characters and writing level The plot of this book is generally passable, but some sections are difficult to explain in one sentence. Especially the section about the prayer ceremony for the birth of the gods is messy and awkward, which is really a failure. The characters are one of the features of this book. The important characters all have clear positions and thoughts, but the relatively complex and diverse character creation may not be a likable choice in the field of online literature. The author's writing level is quite acceptable in the field of online writing, but compared to the content of the story, it is still somewhat lagging behind, especially the recurring words "so interesting" and "so interesting"... 3. Highlights The title of the book "The Mechanical Rhythm of Magic" is apt. Magic is the core element of the story. According to the setting, magic is controlled by human self-will, using the natural principles of heaven and earth, and using steam machinery as a connection-driven model. Every link in this process is indispensable, and this creates points. Regardless of the emphasis on different genres such as the accumulation of will, the understanding of nature, and the refinement of machinery, there are no secluded old men working behind closed doors in the mountains and forests in the story. The strong ones are all active practitioners who have self-consistent ideas and use ideas as guidance to promote changes in reality. The collision of ideas between each other can also stimulate the spark of ideas, and we can select the best and eliminate the weak to keep making progress. Regardless of the background of steampunk, the core of this book is very close to the "flow of mind" that some book friends have longed for. The self-will in the technique comes from willpower, knowledge, life experience and insights. Every intangible accumulation is a precious spiritual wealth. Compared with some fantasy chicken soup that is too autistic , the self-will in this book is more majestic and inclusive of all things, and intrigue is not an all-round confrontation that runs through the spiritual and material levels. It is a comprehensive practice of personal qualities such as communication skills, thinking level, and contingency execution. As long as it is not a pure stand-alone game, how can you lack these to improve your xinxing? 4. Questions ① The plot of the prayer ceremony was not well written, leading to a chain collapse; ②The theory of magic is relatively obscure and complicated, and seems somewhat laborious; ③The protagonist's perception effect is strong and high-frequency, and the occult version can be turned on or off.
