Steel Steam and Flames

As an old bookworm, I want to talk about my views on this book (I wrote this much on a whim without realizing it. If you don't want to finish reading, you can just read my summary in the last paragraph). First of all, I think this is an excellent online article, and it can be called a fairy grass. What I admire most is the author's extremely grand world view and hard-core description of steampunk. In a world where people have discovered electricity but only use it for lighting and communication (this should be a hole dug by the author, which has not been filled yet. The main energy source used by people is steam), people have developed a developed steam civilization, with steam cars, steam mechas, steam airships, steam ships and various industrial machines that use steam as energy. There are even splitting machines and analysis machines that are comparable to computers, and the super analysis machine has reached the level of today's supercomputers. The development of war weapons can be said to have surpassed modern times. There are powerful special ammunition such as platinum bullets, blue silver bullets, and red ring bullets. Cold weapons using ultimate metal can also crush modern cold weapons. There are also ultimate war weapons such as steam-powered weapons that combine steam and electricity... In addition to developed steam technology, there are also mysterious and powerful second types of creatures in this world, such as dragons and giant whales. Their biological evolution level and strength are extremely powerful. Cannonballs cannot break away their scales, claw strikes can tear apart special alloys, and a single dragon breath can turn land several kilometers in radius into scorched earth. People use advanced biotechnology and the powerful computing power of analytical machines to transplant biological tissues from the second type of organisms into humans, allowing humans to master extraordinary powers—stronger bodies, smarter brains, and longer lives...  The territory of this world is extremely vast. The Sundola Empire where the protagonist is located has a population of hundreds of billions. The Houxiang Continent where the empire is located also has two giant countries of the same size as the empire. In the vast sea area outside Houxiang Continent, there are Zuoxiang Continent and Rightxiang Continent, which are the same size as Houxiang Continent. Beyond the three continents, there is also the legend of the ancient continent in the endless expanse, and it has more than seventy continents of the same size as the Later Phase Continent. However, this online article still has some shortcomings, that is, the author is a bit procrastinating in writing. He can write more than a hundred chapters for one mission, and more than ten or twenty chapters for a battle. Compared with the protagonists in other novels who have firm beliefs, the protagonist's character is like a civilian's thinking. He has no clear goals and the whole person seems to be drifting with the crowd. I hope the author can improve these shortcomings in the future. Finally, in general, the book here is a fairy grass with the potential to become a god. It has some shortcomings but the flaws are not hidden. Please feel free to eat it. I also hope that everyone will support the genuine version. The author wrote the book in his spare time while working. If you like this book, please don't let it go to waste and live up to the author's hard work.

The newbies came to check in and share their opinions. I remember that there was a book shortage during the epidemic in the second year of high school. Because I had just finished reading Mystery, I suddenly wanted to read books like steampunk and western fantasy. However, there were very few high-quality books in the Mystery genre at that time (I later found a few good ones, such as Lord of Mystery, Whispering Poems, Modern Age of Mysteries, Guns of Ember, etc.), Until I accidentally saw this book on a post forum, and I was fascinated at that time. I personally like books with lots of words and slow-burning. I don't mind pushing the main plot too much, and I prefer characterization (such as the story of a mortal cultivating immortality?). At that time, I read more than 100 chapters in one go, where Kara faked her death. In fact, I wanted to abandon the book at that time (because Kara died 😜). In the end, I looked back with a sense of luck, and found that Kara faked her death, and I was relieved. Then I got out of control, watching 3 o'clock every night, and finally saw the update point (it seems to be called bombing, chaos, and people's hearts). Later, because I was busy in my senior year of high school and the management was strict, I thought about raising books (after all, the updates are stable but not many, right 🤭). Now that I am in college, I decided to support the genuine version (I had no choice before and had no financial resources 😥). Personally, I think this is a strange book that is incompatible with Dian Niang's other books (praise). Its circle of book friends is very civilized, and some rating lists can also see serious polarization (basically only 5 stars and 1 star, there are many 5 stars, and the average score is about 4 stars), which shows that this is a niche book. This is also the reason why I am determined to change my habit of free prostitution and support the genuine version. Now I am watching it from the beginning again and subscribing while watching it. In fact, it can be seen that the author is very busy (updating at 24 o'clock every night), except for special reasons, he will basically update. And then it is a niche book, so I am worried that the author will come to the palace someday (laughs). Although my power is limited, I feel that at least I have done it. At least maybe one day the author will cut it off, and I can still feel comfortable and rant (laughs, it would be better not to have that day). Let's talk about my views on this book. To be honest, I was a little unimpressed after reading the first 10 chapters. They are relatively ordinary and there are no three golden chapters, so I guess many book friends will give up. This book is written like a thousand-layer cake, uncovering layer after layer. The truth is always hidden under the fog of time and space. Occasionally, a corner is revealed and more are faintly reflected. The whole text has a small climax (such as several small tasks after the first mission (such as saving the saint, saving Kara)?), A mid-climax (such as saving the saint, saving Kara)? The first mission?), The big climax (such as the first time to get red mercury (the time of the Three Primary Colors Company), the fight against the Far Sea Commonwealth, the selection of knights and squires), especially the battle scenes are extremely wonderful, there are no logical flaws (never mind the combat power system), and there is no aura of brainless intelligence from the protagonist. The entire steam fantasy world includes empires, wars, military academies, dragons, and the male protagonist struggling in this gloomy situation... At least in terms of the background world setting, I personally think this book is more vivid than other similar steam streams. Moreover, the protagonist has no plug-ins (don't mind the combat power system), only "the push of fate", so you can hardly see the protagonist killing everyone and crushing the supporting characters. Only the protagonist is calmly in awe and working calmly. It is this way of writing that makes the book feel depressing and obscure (I think it looks like Russian literature?). It makes other book friends feel uncomfortable and have a different reading experience from ordinary online books, complaining that the plot is too slow to advance, and the foreshadowing is too deep and too slow to reveal. But as long as the author updates steadily and advances slowly, I believe that the author who can construct such a large and exquisite punk world will not disappoint in his subsequent revelations. In this novel, I like the author's writing style very much. The author has a good level and writing skills. I hope the writing will get better and better. The subject matter and plot are very attractive, and the description of the atmosphere is quite contagious. There are too few good books about the rough, thick and wild steampunk style, and the author's ability to control words is very good. I personally feel that the author's proficiency in language is definitely better than half of the novels written by Qidian Shuangwen. 🙂

The background is grand, the settings are hard-core, the plot is awesome, and the foreshadowing is amazing, but the author is very forgetful and often forgets the previous settings. The context is incorrect, the plot progress is very slow, and some details are not rigorous. Although it is science fiction, the data settings are really outrageous. , A 5mm caliber pistol bullet penetrated 120mm armored steel with a muzzle velocity of 3km/s. The blue warhead with 7 times the energy was probably liquefied or even ionized by the high energy generated by the propellant before it came out of the chamber. Of course, it is not ruled out that there is some weird and mysterious alien metal in the setting. If you can ignore these details and shortcomings, it is still a very good book. Personal review, don't comment if you don't like it

I read Chapter 54, is it actually Chapter 50? Or around chapter 48, I finally understand why this novel is not popular. Why are other people's novels that are also Western fantasy so interesting? Even if it's a brainless, intellectually subdued, childishly entertaining novel, I didn't even start reading the table of contents after reading more than 40 chapters. Why? What is he writing? It's like a dialect version of English. Chinese people can't understand it, and neither can foreigners. The most important thing for the author now is to learn how to organize language well.

I have read more than a hundred chapters, so let me talk about my feelings. First of all, let's talk about the shortcomings, 1: There are too many details about scenes and things. If it were a physical book, it would definitely be fun to read, but when reading an ordinary online novel, it will give you a headache. 2: The data problem in the article, I feel, is the biggest flaw and flaw of this book. For example, a cruiser several kilometers long; a mining machine dozens of kilometers long, suspended several kilometers in the air, and only supported by eight pillars that function as lifts. (Of course there are drill bits to fix it), but this is too ridiculous!; In the first mission, the protagonist group ran several kilometers in an instant; after a thousand years, society has only experienced more than a dozen generations, why? The average person has a child at the age of 50? Then there are 20 generations! Wait, There are a lot of illogical data in the article. At least in just one hundred chapters, I can see 5 of them at a glance. I don't know if the author has improved it later. Let's talk about the advantages, 1: As an industrial punk mechanical article, It's really original. Although there are too many details, the whole book also has a strong mechanical punk flavor from the inside out (at least the first hundred chapters). For someone like me who likes punk and industrial machinery, I can't stop reading. 2: Basically everyone's IQ is online (at least the characters in the first hundred chapters), which is really rare in online books 3: The plot is great, but the plot is not straightforward. , With supporting characters and opponents of various IQs online, the plot is really thrilling and enjoyable to watch 4: The introduction of the world view is very smooth, telling you what the whole world looks like without the beginning, but accompanied by details one after another (too many details are well described) (Here comes the place), dialogue after dialogue, telling the reader bit by bit that this is a story with a great world view To sum up, this book is worth reading. Judging from the current 100 chapters, it can be rated as an 8 out of 10. If reading the rest of the content gives me any other thoughts, I will come back and add more.

I can't stand the third mission anymore. It's hard to understand the protagonist's psychology. I can't see what he wants to do. What is his purpose of putting himself in death for a stranger? For conscience sake? But he killed a lot of people. The reason why the protagonist didn't die in the first two missions was purely the protagonist's aura. But in the third mission, there was still no progress. The protagonist's growth pace was too slow.

The writing is very good, but basically every mission of Pig's Feet will have a woman. Without the woman, maybe Pig's Feet's combat effectiveness will be much lower 😅

I don't know why, but I recognized the subject matter of this book and the descriptions were excellent. But after reading it, I felt a little boring and I didn't know what went wrong.

There are many details, such as the description of the scenery and the supporting characters. It can be seen that the author is very careful. It can be said to be one of my favorite novels. However, the slight delay may be just to fill in the water. However, the flaws are not hidden. Engineering descriptions are rare. Students majoring in mechanical engineering will seem to have more experience.

The protagonist of this book is not a person with a clear purpose. He may not have much ambition, so he is pushed along. There are many things he does not understand. It is through his eyes and perceptions that the author introduces the world. I think this is very valuable. The description of the scene is also very good. Although I don't like this style of steampunk novels, I still want to give a thumbs up to the author and the work.

The poison test failed... I had very high expectations, but was dissuaded by the author's strange mathematical concepts. I can forcibly interpret the various strange data of steam creations as fantasy romance. For example, the imperial train with only tens of thousands of tons has a body height of 6 meters... But the aerostat is 430 meters long, has a displacement (is it really not a take-off weight) of 160,000 tons, and 100,000 tons of steel. Does it mean a load capacity of 60,000 tons? Then why do you want to reorganize your empire? The armor thickness of the bulletproof steam car is 15 mm. After looking at my Volvo, it seems that it is not as thick as it orz, but it matches the same caliber bullet as yours. But in terms of plot, the protagonist traveled across thousands of kilometers of desert for thirteen days with almost no supplies to go to an "oasis"... After walking in the sewers of the oasis for three days, he only reached the edge of the center of the underground world, and then encountered a "dwarf ridge" that was only 1,500 meters high? 🙏🙏🙏 I feel like I have a relatively high tolerance for poison, but I really can't stand it, and I ran away without even seeing the chapters on the shelf.

It took a month to write a battle. There were serious layout errors. Is it necessary to spend such a long time on this battle? None of the previous frozen animations in the ice field used such a long length. Two-thirds of the page is used to act like a pig, and one-third of the page is used to crush it. I don't know how it feels to read it in one go, but those who follow it can only say that it is very depressing. A less important battle seems to last a century. It is important to be immersive in the battle scenes, but you have to consider your writing speed of one update a day. Who can have a climax that lasts as long as a month? However, this battle is almost finished. I can only say that the author should work hard and not turn the advantages into disadvantages.

I feel like the author doesn't have a lot of words or nonsense, but the plot just drags on, and it drags on very naturally.

The rest of the book is okay, but this data is really messed up and too dramatic. Since the measurement units of the earth are used, the data is more reliable. Steampunk is a relatively hard-core subject. I hope the author will check more information and avoid making so many low-level mistakes.

I feel that the writing is a bit lengthy, and the explanation of the settings is not clear. I changed the map and did not describe the environment. It makes people look a bit foggy. But the plot and writing are still good.

How should I put it? There are a lot of the same novels. It might have been a good work before, but now it seems to have too many poisonous points. There are too many characterizations and detailed descriptions, but the plot is actually too thin. The writing is good, the plot is third-rate, and the worldview is average as of now.

I think this is a very good mechanical punk novel. The plot of the mid-term battle emerges like a movie in the author's writing. Airships, difference engines and steam, etc., Brought me into a country with extremely developed industry. The author seems to be very familiar with the machinery in the first and second industrial revolutions. In short, I think this book is very good. I hope the author can continue to work hard and not end it.

I just read the 100th chapter, but I already want to pay for the remaining 1,000 chapters. Good book. Great author 👍. Is there any physical book available?

Sorry, I don't have the curiosity to read on.

The book is a good book. It would be nice if some attention could be paid to some small details, such as the number of suppressor tubes.

I just read the beginning of this book and I feel that the author has a good grasp of the protagonist's emotions, behavior and environment, and the protagonist has stood up. However, if the author wants the protagonist to change the world, it is best to let the protagonist not only have various panics after killing, but also add a bit of hatred, such as panic but also a sense of joy, because there must be something extraordinary in order to achieve great things. And I personally feel a little refreshed in this way. After all, it is better to have a point to vent emotions when killing people in the previously suppressed plot. Although Nuoer's appearance is a bit sudden, it would be better to add a little foreshadowing, such as the protagonist's eyes scanning the environment and seeing a short figure. This book is not popular. I read other reviews and it is the author's first book. I think the author may lack some experience in online writing, and the plot design may be a little worse. I feel that the depressing and frustrating plot is not the problem. The point is that the plot must have a point to vent emotions, otherwise it will be quite uncomfortable. I highly recommend that the author quickly come up with a satisfying ending. Then learn the lesson, make an outline, and start a new book. Then it just needs to be a little bit cool. After all, it would be a bit strange if it doesn't feel a bit satisfying to rely on online writing for a living. Anyway, I hope it can be of some help to the author.

Does the protagonist have superpowers? I just saw the beginning of the train and it seems like the world view has no magical elements.

At the beginning, the protagonist lives in a relatively poor family and has been working since he was a child. Judging from the performance of the empire, the protagonist should also know something about the dark side. Forget about saving Nuoer, the young man is soft-hearted. But before saving her, the protagonist still wanted to find someone he could trust and form a companion. He probably wanted to take turns to rest to prevent his things from being stolen by others in his sleep. However, after saving Nuoer, he did not take turns to rest and continued to read and study when he was tired. As a result, he fell asleep after a disagreement, which led to things being stolen, and then causing a lot of shit. He also expressed regret afterward. Was it useful? The protagonist's behavior is not like those who have been honed in a poor family and working life. It gives people the feeling of not having much contact with society, which is a huge difference from the situation described above.

The author who has written so many things is only level 2, so he understands everything.

To be honest, having only read the first 5 chapters, I should not be qualified to evaluate this book, but after reading the chapter reviews and my own opinions on the previous chapters, I still want to say a few words. The protagonist of this book is a warrant officer with the title of baron. Seriously speaking, this level is not low anywhere. It is indeed a bit exaggerated that things in the book can happen in this situation. Although I have only read a few chapters, there is no doubt that there should be extraordinary power in the world, and the level is not low. Coupled with advanced technology, it can be said that no matter how excessive the upper level is, they should not be overthrown. But there is still something toxic here. According to the protagonist's subsequent achievements, it shows that there is room for improvement among civilians, so the question arises. The protagonist's father died in the army, his pension was almost completely swallowed up, and he was kicked out. This is a bit exaggerated. Is it possible that at his level there is no one who appreciates him in the army? No close subordinates and comrades? Even if the pension will be swallowed up, will it be swallowed up to this extent? And regardless of the dynasty or the novel, seriously, if you check carefully, the people who were deprived of pensions were soldiers and low-level officers. When the protagonist's father is at the level, he is considered mid-level. If this is the case even at this level, then this empire can be said to be on the verge of collapse. Super or not, because your opponent does too. Some people may say that we value literature over martial arts, but it is obvious that this is not the case. Neither the historical background nor the description in the article is borrowed.

Overestimating one's ability, one will lose every time, relying on the halo of the protagonist to force success, Nuo'er considers kindness, saving Carla depends on Nuo'er, forcing the protagonist, saving the saint and being caught again, cheating and escaping, semen on the brain, saving Lina, being swallowed by a dragon, and forcing cheating to swallow the dragon again, I don't hate cheating, but why do I risk my life when I meet a girl, Nuoer's chapter It's pretty normal. In the Kara chapter, there were inexplicable murders. I thought the protagonist would restrain himself after the Kara chapter. In the Saint chapter, he risked his life to protect the Saint inexplicably. He couldn't beat it and finally put down his arrogant machismo and asked the elder sister for help. In the Lina chapter, he saved Lina first, and Lina asked him to save Silla. Why? He tried his best to save her again, but it didn't count. In order to save Silla, he sent Silla to a dragon to be swallowed by the dragon. He risked his life for a stranger and also gave two pieces of solid red mercury. From beginning to end, this feeling came out of nowhere. He saved two slaves and almost lost his life. I didn't get any benefits and had no emotional basis. I was just a stranger. As for the transaction, I didn't see any great transactions until the end. The writing of the book was pretty good, but the plot had countless poisonous points. The protagonist never learned a lesson and was always obsessed with sperm.

For those who complain that the novel is unreasonable, please stop talking nonsense. Think about it, it has only been a few hundred years since the first industrial revolution on earth, and more than a thousand years have passed since the establishment of the Sundola Empire, which was similar to the first industrial revolution and technological innovation. It has been 1098 in the holy calendar. Can you imagine the technology in the next few hundred years? Not to mention the addition of surgery to human intelligence, and the fact that the Zuoxiang Continent and the Right Phase Continent have developed five or six hundred years longer than the Empire. It is entirely possible or certain that technology far superior to the earth will appear in this world! Please do not use the standards of the earth to measure a world that is completely different from the earth. The author really has excellent imagination and solid technical skills. How could you imagine a weapon that transcends the times like a pneumatic weapon? So, please stop trolling, and please respect the author's labor and hard work.

At the beginning of a common bloody story, the protagonist's father was a baron and a high-ranking nobleman. After the war, all his pensions were swallowed up, and the protagonist was kicked out. It's just like the kind of palace maid who bullies the concubine prince, and the legitimate maid wants to kill the concubine's wet nurse, right?

The fifth time I wanted to fall into the trap, this novel failed. Let me explain in detail why I couldn't stand it. Since I couldn't stand it, why did I fall into the trap so many times? Because I like steampunk novels very much, and there are very few novels with so many words. This book was initially said to be number one, but unfortunately, I have tried it several times and failed. The reading point of this book is mainly focused on the character of the protagonist at the beginning. There is a big contradiction. The author wants to give the protagonist a kindness, but he gives too much of this kindness and turns it into an unrealistic Madonna. For example, in the first story at the beginning, the protagonist takes the hard-earned money from his hard work, and also the hard work at home. When you have no way to protect the money you have saved so hard, you add a plot to save people for no reason, and it costs a lot of money. If you just force the rescue like this, we can all understand if you arrange some plot and explain it later, but what? You quickly wrote down some very realistic issues later on, and also magnified the impact of this matter without limit. This way, we won't feel that the protagonist's character has much sense of substitution. We will only feel that the protagonist has a low IQ, a low EQ, an overly impulsive Madonna.

I drop Kara
