Maya, 1441

The protagonist is 18 years old at the beginning of the game in 1441. By the time Columbus discovers the American continent in 1492, the protagonist is almost 70, and the protagonist has to lead the Mayans to resist Spain. I am afraid that he will not have to open the immortality buff with unlimited refills, so it will easily become a one-man show for the protagonist. In comparison, I prefer the Icha Dimension written by the author on Zhihu. It adopts a macro narrative and the entire country and ethnic group are the real protagonists.

Here is a great picture from my personal collection. The entire map of the Mayan city-state, with important landmarks painted on it.

Try to post a picture of the protagonist's activity track∽

Written at the front: This post will talk about several points that have been highly controversial, including the plot of Naco City, writing habits, technology issues, evaluation of other works, etc. If you don't like it, don't spray it. As this book is about to reach the end of the second volume (The Battle of Revenge and Reunification), I have always wanted to start a book review post and finally decided to stop cooing. Regarding this book and many comments, there are many things that I am really unhappy about. My views on the plot and characters in this book may be different from those of the author and many book friends, so please bear with me. First of all, the general opinion. This book combines cool writing routines with the social background of the Mayan civilization. As the author said, it made it very easy for me to read in. The author said that the information on the Mayan civilization is difficult to find, and the political society is extremely complex. Most people cannot get started. However, I felt as smooth as silk during the reading process, and I did not feel any obstacles. Unknowingly, I read dozens and hundreds of chapters, and the picture of Mayan political and social life unfolded in front of me so naturally. It was also the first time that I learned that the Mayan civilization had so many characters, families, and city-states, and that there were so many loves and hates between each other. There were so many ups and downs in Mayan history, which we had never known before. After all, most books or articles introducing the Maya can only talk about some of the civilizational achievements of the Maya and the weird culture of the Maya people, but they all lack a very important factor that makes us interested in history: stories. With the story, the entire Mayan civilization finally came alive in my mind. They would do such things because of their political views, family views, religious views, national views, and world views, so that they would entangle and fight with each other. And as the author said, Mayan history may be more bloody than history elsewhere. Judging from what the author wrote on Zhihu King Quetzalcoatl's expedition to the Maya, the establishment of an alliance between the three royal families, King Kel's sacrifice in a water cave, defeating Chichén Itza by himself, Princess White Flower falling in love with the Black Snake King at first sight, the Black Snake King's robbery, Shupanxiu slaughtering Kokom, the lightning return of Kokom's orphans... These stories are all real things that happened in the history of the Maya, so it is said that reality is less logical than fiction. However, these stories, whether they are real historical stories or stories created by the author, make me very addicted. I can't wait to follow every update. This is the charm of stories. The author's story brings us into the Maya very vividly. Just by reading the novel, I think many people have become half Mayanologists. It can be said that besides enjoying the novel, they also gain a lot. The author himself is an expert in the study of ancient American civilizations, and is very trustworthy in terms of textual research. The author has shown his Mayan language in many places in the article, which must be for this purpose. The poem sung by the poet Saul is even more amazing. Of course, while reading the novel, I also felt that there were too many Mayan cities and families, and sometimes I felt confused. I often clicked them out and went to the book club to read the map carefully, and then I had a general understanding. However, since the Mayan society itself is so highly complex, I think the author has tried his best to present it realistically without deliberately modifying or simplifying it for the convenience of readers. He has also tried his best to expand and describe the cities and characters involved. And these details do not present any obstacles to understanding the overall plot. Overall, I think it can be rated as both authentic and exciting. If there are more words, I will post them in the reply from time to time.

The territory of the Mayan Empire as of Chapter 500

A map sent to the author~

Situation map in mid-1443 That year, the Mayapan Alliance finally had Mayapan After the war and peace talks from the end of 1442 to April 1443, the situation corresponds to the situation after Chapter 227 The green circle is the territory of the protagonist at the beginning

It's more outrageous than writing about reborn Indians. Netizens' imaginations are endless. 😂😂😂

Good guy, this protagonist is probably not the reincarnation of Andronikos Komnenos, the Roman artillery king. Wherever the cannon goes, it hits the princess. It is recommended to change the name to Mayan Cannon King.
