Ah, the Human King

This book tells the story of a young dwarf living in a resource-scarce, self-isolated dwarf city, who gradually comes of age and comes to realize the backwardness of his race, attempting to develop his race while slowly becoming the ruler of the world. The protagonist's cheat code is an old man from Earth who appears in his dreams and teaches him various skills.

I don't quite understand why so many people dislike the dwarf protagonist. This is a novel, not a movie. What does the protagonist's appearance matter? And even in movies, the appearance of halflings and dwarves didn't affect the success of Lord of the Rings and The Hobbit. This is a fantasy world. What's the highlight?

The book is good, but its audience is too small, so it's destined not to become a hit. 1. Western fantasy novels have a small audience. 2. It leans towards serious topics and has a small audience. 3. Indigenous protagonists have a small audience. The fact that anyone is still reading despite having all three debuffs is thanks to the author's strong personal fanbase.

I skimmed through the first chapter; it's not my cup of tea. I've followed the author before, and I even read a bit of *Magic Chronicle* but didn't stick with it. Let me share my own opinion on why everyone says Western fantasy has declined in recent years. I think one reason is that it's not exciting enough.

Has the author considered writing a fantasy novel featuring exotic creatures? Not the usual dragon stories, but more unusual ones. There are plenty of strange animals in D&D, and I think a fantasy novel with a non-dragon protagonist, combined with the author's writing style, would be quite interesting.

I know why this book isn't popular anymore. Ultimately, it's a matter of reader immersion. The author's writing is good, but firstly, the book uses natives as protagonists, specifically dwarves. It's not that dwarves can't be protagonists, but reading this book was far less enjoyable than rereading *The Hobbit*.

Well, every time I start reading this author's books, I'm initially impressed, but then they get boring after a while. The plot always unfolds in such a bland way. It just doesn't suit my taste.

It's been well-written, but the oppressive atmosphere brought by the elves is getting heavier and heavier, while the protagonist remains unhurried. It's not that he hasn't improved, nor that he hasn't grown. But under this prolonged suppression, I couldn't find many reasons to continue watching. Especially when I don't like the female lead. Their relationship might have been a form of relaxation, but under such immense conflict, these things seemed insignificant.

As I was writing, it turned into a red revolution in another world... ==It's so tedious to read. I used to rave about recommending this to all my friends on social media. From now on, I'll only recommend novels I've already finished reading.
