A Hymn of Blood and Fire

The protagonist gave me the feeling from the beginning that he was a smart and down-to-earth born aristocrat. He was no different from other aristocrats in this world in terms of their obsession with family and attitudes towards the people and the country. Of course, there is nothing wrong with this. Some authors like to be realistic and some will mix in modern things, but forcibly adding a time-travel background makes reading uncomfortable. This background will bring some readers into modern thinking, so the reader market for the work itself is a bit misplaced. After all, Some readers like to read this kind of Machiavellian novel in which the protagonist's values ​​fit with ancient concepts. Some readers like Long Ao Tianwen who travels to another world and uses certain modern concepts to transform the other world. But in fact, there are more people like the latter. Although the former likes to criticize various works in comments and has a loud voice, in fact most readers do not always comment. They pay more attention to the feeling of pleasure when reading novels, and they do not put too many requirements on rigor. Writing a protagonist who is too aristocratic will not bring a sense of involvement.

This book has been shaping an interlocking and closely connected design and plan, and the plot is described under the pressure of this plan. But, in fact, this kind of plan or conspiracy is impossible to exist at all, because he will fail 100%. Any plan involving multiple people cannot escape the influence of "people", the most unstable factor in any world at any time. Therefore, the more sophisticated the plan, the easier it is to fail.

In this book, we can see the living conditions and mentality of three nobles. They are feudal aristocracy, ruined aristocracy and spiritual aristocracy. Two of them are in the main text and one is in the comment area 🤭

If possible, I hope this novel can be finished well and not end rashly because of the performance. This work is worth it. I've only watched 12% of it, but I'm already hooked. Some comments said that the author failed to create the protagonist's specialness and personality. But I think the author's character creation has been very good. In the first ten percent, Duke Nick, the father of the beloved protagonist, has a tense conversation with Duke Eric in Chapter 2, Section 26, which can be called a classic. Later in the royal conference hall, Duke Nick's mediation between the nobles and the emperor showed his dedication to maintaining the operation of the empire as the prime minister of a precarious empire. His character and choices are very three-dimensional. Readers can not only understand, but also feel a politician's ideal and realistic choices. The author can enrich the character list and add these charming supporting characters. I can't wait to show my heart to the Prime Minister.

There are a few words that I don't want to say out loud. First of all, I find it unpleasant to watch. Why? The protagonist is always passive. . From the beginning of being involved in a murder case, being forced to go to the battlefield, being forced to cooperate, being assassinated, to being passively in power. I have always been led by others. Isn't this very unpleasant? Secondly, regarding assassination, the front or main characters have been assassinated or killed by conspiracy. It feels like except the protagonist, other characters die in just a few times. Isn't this too random? But there is no assassination of the villain. Isn't this setting inappropriate? Especially the assassination at Lion Castle. Is it too easy to assassinate a powerful duke in a capital city? In addition, there are too many assassinations, which seriously lowers the momentum of the work. Again, regarding teleportation, this one is even weirder, like a trick the author specially set for the villain. This is best reflected in the assassination of Sir Yale. It is unimaginable that as a crucial pass, there was no space teleportation barrier, which resulted in the death of the top officer from an assassin's teleportation assassination. But the Blood Eagle is still needed to transmit the message, and there is no configuration space for transmission? How will the war be fought in the future? Just teleport some people to the opponent's headquarters or supply camp to set fire or poison, and what else can you do? Don't tell me, but you can achieve space blocking in the field.

It's a pity that an epic Western fantasy novel is qualified for publication. It was serialized in Qidian. It was a waste. You have to be an old man to read the book and find it interesting. Being unhappy at Qidian is the original sin.

It's well written. It's rare for a book to bring the main character and supporting characters to life. The conspiracy and betrayal throughout the story are so heart-wrenching to watch. It's really just two-and-a-half-year-olds. The overly heavy writing and ink make the tone too gloomy. I was choked after just reading the first two chapters.

In fact, the writing is very good, maybe not too refreshing, but dark and true. When I saw those noob pretentious articles on the ranking list, I thought this book was such a pity.

The human mages in this book are all fake. All I read are the orc mages. It's okay. One magical human died tens of thousands, and then a magical human died tens of thousands again

Ah, halfway through watching it, I suddenly realized that I couldn't stand it anymore. The identity of this time traveler is seriously questioned. After becoming a lord, he made various moves and described his pursuit of power, which is not much different from Xinda. It's really uncomfortable to watch. It's better to just cultivate immortality. Why bother writing about being a lord? Isn't it tiring for such a person to write about being a lord?
