Warhammer: The Savior Rat

I imagine life underground.

The Battle of Lame Peak, image taken from the seventh edition of the military manual. The war the protagonist is about to participate in is the first war between the Skaven and Grandpa Nagashna.

This is a rare Skaven Ratsman novel, and the author's background knowledge and character portrayal are excellent. As a Total War: Warhammer fan, I'm very happy. However, the protagonist's character development is quite off-putting. I hope the next book will improve on this. First, as a Skaven engineer, the protagonist initially only uses magic as his means of combat.

I read most of it, and then paid to continue reading the rest. It has to be said that the author really went through a lot of trouble writing this; even after more than 800,000 words, he was still going around in circles. If we had to nitpick about minor details, they would mostly involve various spells and engineering projects.

The plot jumps around, I want to write about this and that. "If the plot calls for a gun, then it should be used." Did the author even create an outline? It seems they just wrote whatever came to mind.

Eski's hair should be smoother, and his teeth whiter.

So much for stopping the world's destruction! Why are you attacking Steamed Egg so relentlessly? 🤔🤔🤔 Secondly, instead of developing your own base or seizing power in the Demon City, you've emptied your coffers just to fight Steamed Egg to the death? Do you really think Steamed Egg's dragon princes are all dead?

I recall a setting that said the female mice weren't inherently unintelligent; their intellectual impairment was caused by the deliberate abuse from the male mice. There was even a warlord who kept two very capable and loyal female mice as mates, practically the Ava sisters of Skaven.

It was incredibly exciting. One moment they were worrying about the factory's production capacity, using various operational strategies and technical approaches from their previous lives, while also being wary of the various traps brought by Chaos; the next moment they no longer had to worry, because the factory had been flattened by Nagash, and the people had been thoroughly seasoned by Slaanesh.
