I'm desperately seeking expert feedback! I'm aiming for a long novel, over two million words, so the story's pace might be a bit slow at the beginning! I'd like to provide more background information. I don't want the protagonist to be exceptionally intelligent and brave from the start, but rather to grow gradually through mistakes.
While it may be boastful, the logic is quite clear, and the content is rich and engaging—it feels like a textbook on time travel. Trust me, just read it.
Good, logically sound, not mindless.
It's very well written, featuring multiple time travelers and the gradual development of industry. It bears some resemblance to *The Enlightenment of Lingao*, but also enriches and modifies its themes. Excellent.
It's quite good; author, keep up the good work! Industrialization requires a large number of skilled workers and engineers; military academies and technical schools should be established.
It looks good, but it's too short. It's a pretty interesting novel. The writing style is also quite good. I've read over 5,000 pages already, and I'm really worried about when I'll finish it 😏
The perspective is fresh, the plot is exciting, and I hope it has a good ending!
