Rising from the Ashes of 800

Those of us reading here today have no idea what real war is like. We can only imagine what each soldier and officer thought and did on the battlefield, facing an uncertain tomorrow, harsh conditions, and a cruel enemy. How did they comfort and encourage themselves to face it, to fight for a slim hope?

I'm seriously frustrated. Although it was exciting to read, I'm experiencing visual fatigue. A single story like "Four Lines Warehouse" took over 170 chapters to finish. I don't know what the author was thinking? You want to write details, fine, but this isn't a movie script, why make it so long? It's like an old woman's foot binding cloth, smelly and long. Seriously, I'm pretty sure.

I watched The Eight Hundred three times in the cinema, and each time I cried uncontrollably. So much resentment and so much lingering regret found relief in the author's story. Many people say that the author is just padding the story, saying that a war scene needs to be written in so many chapters.

This is rife with absurd plot twists. Doesn't the body need an adjustment period after just time-traveling? And why doesn't it need a helmet? If helmets are useless, why do armies around the world wear them?

Life is full of disappointments, especially in love!

The writing is alright, and the protagonist's mythology is understandable, but I've never read a more padded war novel. It's a master at ripping off readers. The writing quickly becomes sentimental. Seriously, I'm speechless. The opening scene of defending the 800-strong Sihang Warehouse for three days takes nearly 180 chapters, mainly interspersed with various enemy-ally/ally sentiments,…

Adding one more person to the 4th line warehouse is completely useless. Unless you can wipe out an entire army single-handedly, adding even 100 or 1000 people wouldn't make a difference. At most, you'd just kill a couple more people and have a couple more deaths. Nothing would change; they'd all be trapped in one place, unable to move.

You say you're focusing on details, but this is way too much! I've read 648 chapters and only two and a half battles. The same old emotional manipulation and nationalistic sentiments are repeated in every chapter – even a dog has its inner monologues! And all that "decades later..." The excessive details are just filler, failing to prioritize anything. These excessive details, emotional manipulations, and inner monologues only make the reader more numb and lose all anticipation as they read on…

I came from another site, but now I feel it's a waste of time and money! This current state is disrespectful to readers who are following my updates! If you can write, then write; if you can't, then don't! You frequently take leave, but never make up for it. It seems you never have any drafts, and you never release a large batch of chapters.

So far, it's written quite well, but there's one major flaw. There are many errors in the descriptions of military ranks. At that time, the Nationalist government of the Republic of China implemented two military rank systems: one was the official rank, and the other was the temporary rank. The former was the formal rank in law, while the latter was linked to the position.
