Born in the middle of the desert, one should expand in all directions, not just in one direction because they are of the same ethnicity. Initially, there were some reward towns, but these disappeared later; this is a good point. Besides, the desert is so vast; occupying only oases seems wasteful.
The rise is rapid, which is great, but could the author please include a world map and maps of local factions? That would be much more convenient.
It's the most standard, industrialized, assembly-line writing ever 🤦🤦🤦 I even suspect it was computer-generated; some settings are completely unscientific and inaccurate, and the timeline is extremely exaggerated 😏 Its only advantage, and its biggest feature, is that it's both enjoyable and fast-paced.
It's good and worth watching.
It's very detailed; it would be great if you could provide a picture.
I think it's pretty good. I hope it won't be abandoned. And author, where do you live?
I think it's great! I've only seen about 60 chapters so far. It's developing slowly, but the updates are too infrequent; it's almost over before I can even look at them all. Also, there are too many country names. Please list more powerful and top-tier countries, and just give a brief overview of the others.
Could we strengthen the powerful nations a bit? The protagonist's technology is almost a hundred years ahead of theirs. We could look at the impact of his policies from the perspective of an ordinary person, not just the population of his own territory, but also the population of other countries.
During wartime, conventional power is superior to nuclear power. In the heat of war, aircraft carriers are expendable assets, while nuclear power is more suitable for peacetime standby deterrence. Conventional power is also far faster to build than nuclear power.
This book is quite good; I suggest sharing a world map.
