Hearts of Iron: Rising from Humble Beginnings

[Otherworld + Passionate Struggle for Supremacy + Meticulous Development + Epic Narrative + Ensemble Cast + Slow Burn]

The human race once ruled countless worlds. Now it has been reduced to slavery beneath the iron hooves of other races. The flame of civilization flickers on the verge of extinction, and hope lies hidden in the abyss.

Zhu Weilie, a veteran strategy game player, unexpectedly transmigrates into this desperate world with the “Hearts of Iron” System.

There is no overwhelming technological advantage, no foolish enemies, and the System is no all-powerful wish-granting machine. The only things he can rely on are strategic insight far ahead of his time, a deep understanding of weapons and tactics, and the human race's last weapon: an unyielding will.

Rebuild from the ground up, brick by brick; cultivate the land with every plow and hoe.

Sow the seeds of hope and temper the edge of your ideals. Expand steadily amid the ruins, and make solid progress through the long, dark night.

This is a story forged in iron and blood, steeped in sacrifice and hope. It is also a long journey, taking root in desolation and flourishing in silence.

This is a magnificent epic belonging to all who resist and build.

This book is a slow burn, focusing on the growth of factions, character development, and an ensemble cast. If you enjoy a steady, gradual story, feel free to dive in. Even if it doesn't do well, I'll do my best to finish it.

The world is entirely fictional, and none of its settings are related to reality.

You don't need to have played Paradox games to get immersed in the story~
