Iron Powder and Spellcaster

We are currently at chapter 463. Although it is still in the early stages, we can already see the prototype of a heroic epic. Looking at this book now, it is estimated that it will be written as a group portrait of heroes. The quality of the book is very high, and the author is a rare and meticulous writer. Although the update is not fast, the details are well crafted, the story progresses smoothly, and the characters are relatively full, especially the minor characters and supporting characters. The characteristics of the book are outstanding, and the writing power is sufficient. What's even better is that the characters, events and settings of this book make a lot of reference to history, so they appear to be particularly real, with rich and delicate details, and can also bring new understanding to readers. The author himself has been posting sketches in book reviews all year round. At the end of each chapter, there are quotations and explanations of relevant events and settings. Using this book as a guide, you can have a broad understanding of the history of the transition between cold weapons and firearms. The value of this bit of knowledge is often underestimated, but in my eyes it is what separates masterpieces from ordinary excellent works. A novel is good enough if it tells a good story, but a masterpiece also needs value beyond the story. Finally, I am a little worried. Currently, the world view of novels is relatively large, and there may be a risk that I will not be able to keep it in the future: the characters will disappear as soon as they are written, refer to the son-in-law next door. In addition, the novel is called Steel Gunpowder Spellcaster. Currently, most of it is steel gunpowder. Spellcaster should be another parallel but equally important line. The author should arrange for breakthroughs in this line to subvert the form of war. I hope to see more progress on this line in the future.

The author is very thoughtful and wants to express magic in a more scientific way. But the result is that the magic loses its own magnificent fantasy, and the regular exploration is limited by the indigenous protagonist and is not hearty. If you don't achieve high or low, it will be tasteless if you eat it, and it would be a pity to abandon it. All in all, although it is very thoughtful, it is not a particularly enjoyable one.

A fantasy magic must be forced to popularize science, and use modern science to explain magic. What kind of science are you trying to popularize? On the other hand, the author really wrote it with great care, but I was very tired after reading it. I couldn't stand it at the beginning after reading it several times, and I was persuaded to quit after five chapters.

There's nothing interesting to watch. It's written in a verbose way and I can't make you want to read on.

The book is okay, it mainly depends on personal taste, but it is very difficult to read now. The author has asked for a month of leave. This is the first time I have seen leave requests for a month. 😑

From the first chapter, you can see that he likes to pretend. It started with two disconnected scenes, a bit like a movie storyboard. But the movie plays much faster than the novel. There is also a pseudo-emperor who looks like the Riddler. I feel like it's not good to make the background look like the Riddler. It's inexplicable. Then he started chattering. The problem is that these detailed descriptions can only be said to be carefully constructed by the author, but they are not interesting. After talking about the armor and clothes, he talked about the knife. After that, we talked about magic again. He said that he couldn't understand that the author insisted on popularizing pseudo-knowledge like magic to readers. It was very boring. Such a long conversation. It can be seen that the author is deliberately arrogant. It is much more advanced than the author who writes with his butt. It is too long, has no emotional contagion, is boring, has no tension, and has no attraction to continue reading.

I've been on leave for two months in a row. Let's cut it off. Really?

The plot is not very complicated, but the writing is very wordy (expository text). The author has his own set of logic and is relatively axial. He narrates according to his own preferences, but ignores the preferences of a large number of readers. Let me give you an example: the protagonists of general novels have a very coherent growth line (position, skill, etc.), Especially those with strong purpose (subjective initiative). The second article The protagonist of the chapter is taken to a strange country and fights to the death for it. Most people will question ❓Who to fight for ❓Why to join the battle ❓Where does the motivation come from? ❓The author has a reply in the text near the end of this chapter🔚, because the obedience of soldiers is formed from more than ten years of military school career😂, after reading it, I was shocked😈There is such a willful author😕 Therefore, I personally think that this book has obvious advantages and disadvantages. It is a niche book📚. People who like it may regard it as a treasure, while those who don't like it will discard it like a pair of shoes😨, so that people like us in the middle will be very confused😖😥

Oh, so Ned Smith's request for peace is to bring a magician to His Majesty? That is indeed quite sincere! After all, magicians are rare in their place!

I want to see pictures. Hey, how do you look at the picture?
