   There is no female protagonist, especially the first one. Except for the protagonist's mother who occasionally appears in the early stages and a few aunts in the market, there are no other female characters. In the second book, there is no heroine in the strict sense. The only heroine who has a relationship with the protagonist appears in a total of three or five chapters. I feel that the existence of this "heroine" is more to express a kind of regret in the great era through the encounter between the two in the last chapter. At that time, the heroine is a woman. The writing style is excellent, with the style of Three Kingdoms and Water Margin. The logic is strict, the plot is compact, and it is very realistic. War, economy, politics, and resources are very closely intertwined. No time travel, no brainless fun, no cheats, no wisdom, no falling in love, no system. The current main plot trend of the first volume: The first volume is about watching a tall building rise and collapse, and then in Chapter 10, under the guidance of an expert, a reasonable reversal of tactics is completed. The second volume is full of the bitterness of workers at the bottom of the workplace who are squeezed but find ways to work their way up. The third volume begins with a battle volume, and begins to enter the violent aesthetic of blood and flesh. As of the fourth volume so far, the worldview has once again increased its dimension, reaching a situation where multiple countries and forces participate in a complex game.
