Becoming King in Ancient Times

Long review: The plot hasn't unfolded yet, but I have to say the author has chosen a really good angle. I was a long-time reader of your previous book, which was indeed quite immature. I only managed to finish it because I genuinely enjoy primitive themes—ruling over a barbaric era, lighting the torch of civilization in the long, dark night, thus dividing history into two parts.

Sitting still is insane. To wage war from Europe to Asia would be incredibly difficult; the logistics would be utterly crippling. Add to that the mountains and deserts, and it wouldn't be possible to conquer them without the steam age. Even conquering the Central Plains would be a struggle; to march from Europe to Asia—only a lunatic would attempt that.

It was impossible for Europe to conquer the East. The Roman Empire was too far from China, and the route was through primeval forests. How could they possibly march there? The enemy would likely have perished from disease, hunger, and cold before even reaching the main player's territory.

It turns out the author of "Footprints of the Wilderness" has started a new book. I can't tell if it's good or bad from the first eight chapters, but I'll add it to my favorites to show my support.

The biggest flaw in this book is that it claims to have invented cannons as early as prehistoric times.

Writing about Rome conquering China is too far-fetched. In this era where everything is covered in primeval forests, it's simply impossible. Even if a Roman time traveler came to China, he would know what stage China was in. He couldn't even manage to divide Europe, Central Asia, Africa, and Russia, let alone China. So, don't go too far with the fantasy.

The protagonist is a typical hypocrite. He was a slave and hated his slave owners, which is understandable. He became a chief and attacked other tribes, which is also understandable. What's annoying is that no matter what the protagonist does, he always believes he's righteous, which is disgusting.

Thousands of years ago, slaves were slaves; how could one person persuade a group of uneducated people?

Why does this book discriminate against women? Women should have the right to education. Even in feudal societies, such differential treatment is unacceptable. We are all carbon-based life forms, with essentially the same composition. It's just that we've taken on different physiological functions during evolution that leads to the fabrication of feudal outdated notions like "female virtues" to…
