Start as a Pioneer Knight

The material library is too old, and this style of writing almost takes me back to the 2000s. Then there is the standard shonen Japanese fantasy RPG style, full of cheapness and commercial atmosphere, coupled with the mixture of gamification and fantasy-style materials, and pure imagination of the so-called "Middle Ages". This "Pioneering Knight" is neither a pioneer nor a knight. What was medieval pioneering? Pioneering is a process of armed colonization. There were also such "pioneering" actions in the early Spring and Autumn Period of our country. They were mostly the process of military conquest, construction of cities and land by nobles of all sizes. This process was not easy and pleasant, nor was it romantic or worthy of praise. To put it simply, they use generation to conquer the indigenous people, occupy their land, destroy their culture, enslave their people, and then build cities and castles to form an army to ensure that they and their descendants can always enjoy the power and status of rulers and victors. If it is an uninhabited wilderness, it is necessary to cultivate the land, build a city, settle down followers, and plunder everywhere to ensure one's own rule and ownership of the land. What about the knights? I don't know what you think of knights, author, or maybe you confuse knights with lords. Generally speaking, knights don't have such things as grandpas, young masters, housekeepers and maids as you imagined. Knights are the lowest level of "nobles". According to the "pioneering knight" in your setting, they don't even have fiefs. If there were fiefs, no idiot would start pioneering them. The absence of fiefs means uncertain income, no fixed vassal group, and no solid foundation. In other words, the "pioneering knights" are more likely to deceive dozens or hundreds of people, or rely on their "bravery" and "prestige" to recruit a bunch of associates, and bring scarce supplies to dangerous places to fight for their lives, in order to carve out a legacy for themselves and become true nobles. Their only property should be the title of "knight", and in return for those who follow them, they can only promise land after success. The reason why I have to waste so much time talking about this is to explain how the so-called "fantasy flavor" comes from and how to make people watch it. When I first saw your title, I thought I could see dozens of young guys with weapons and rations working hard in the wilderness, scheming with the indigenous people, fighting fiercely to conquer a small area, working hard all day long, sifting through the rags for things that can be sold, and then going to the towns to trick the local gangsters. , Landless scoundrels, strangers, widowers, coolies who go to the wilderness to do coolies. They struggle with the fierce environment, barren land, ferocious natives and unruly people all their lives. They are as tenacious as grassroots in the vast and free world, inspiring themselves with noble and despicable dreams. Hardship, freedom, wilderness, and primitiveness are the scenes I hope to see, and they are also the most worthy things to write about. The same thing is really not worth chewing on.

I have carefully read the new chapters. To be honest, apart from the fact that the material library is a bit old, I haven't seen any major flaws for the time being. Although the author is a newcomer, it can be seen that he is not yet proficient in controlling the plot, but he can see that he is determined to tell a good story. If a story wants to be perfect, in addition to its own worldview, the creation of characters is also very important. At this point, the author did okay. However, the content of the first volume in the early period is still a bit more as a prequel. Moreover, the author's writing style has a bit of a Nikkei feel to it. But in summary, if we continue to update and improve the shortcomings, this novel will still be readable during the book shortage. I hope the author will work hard and keep writing.

The material is really old. . In fact, many old-school Western fantasy materials are not so conservative. . .

After signing the contract, give yourself a reward first 😰

If anyone reads the book, your comments are welcome.

Apart from the old-fashioned theme and setting, it's not as bad as the long review above said. What is medieval fantasy is to add fantasy elements to the same social structure. First of all, pioneer knights, the West has always had a pioneering tradition since Greece colonized the Mediterranean. Helplessness is the land grabbing of one culture from another, and the process is indeed bloody and brutal. But it has nothing to do with whether it is romantic or not, and what does it have to do with whether it is worthy of praise. To say that down-and-out wandering knights cannot pioneer, you are probably ignoring the historical Crusades, also known as armed pilgrims. It seems like 4 times. Is this a bloody plunder? Not worthy of praise? Don't forget that this is a novel. . .
