An Engineer Who Can’t Use Magic Isn’t a Good Lord

Western Fantasy Farming, let me start with the conclusion: If you can read it, I will continue to read it. Advantages: 1. Not a novice 2. Hard-core science and technology, combined with the characteristics of Western fantasy 3. There is no intellectual character 4. The emotional line is not poisonous Disadvantages: 1. The pace is extremely slow 2. It is not a thoroughbred, and a large section is written about diplomacy 3. The map is easily confused during the reading process I've read about 350 chapters so far, and it's obvious that the world the author has built is grand and logical, and he must have put a lot of effort into polishing it. But the grand and rigorous world also makes it difficult for the author to explain clearly to the readers at a fast pace, and even a slow-paced introduction is very difficult. This leads to the pain point in reading this book: the pace is very slow, and I have to devote space to writing about diplomacy. Even if you keep reading, you may not be happy with it, but if you continue to read it, you will never be happy. This is a flaw. If you want to have fun, you can't be too rigorous. If you want to be logical, it's difficult to stand alone. I don't think this is entirely a problem of the author's skill. It's really difficult to have both. Similarly, thanks to a rigorously logical world, there are very few intellectual outbursts in this book. The characters' actions are based on their own intelligence and are consistent with their personality and logic. This world is so closed-loop that I often feel like I am reading a first-person history book (violent discussion (whisper)). The reading experience in this aspect can definitely be ranked at the forefront of my reading history. As for the love line, judging from the progress of Chapter 350, it is not clear whether it is a large harem, but it is probably not a single female protagonist. My evaluation is that the author's description of the emotional line is not poisonous, and it is definitely at the level of passing to good in male videos (purely subjective). Regarding the problem of unexpected events disrupting the protagonist's plan and changing the map causing confusion in the reading sense, I think this is because the author pursues the authenticity of the world at the expense of literary quality (book reviews are scolding!). These plots are more like the author deducing a world without a protagonist early on, and then adding the variable of the protagonist. This leads to frequent surprises in the early stages. There were obviously fewer accidents later, probably because I didn't push first (nonsense). So, if you can accept the cool moments without particularly explosive moments, tolerate dullness, and pursue logically rigorous stories, then give it a try. On the contrary, if you are looking for direct pleasure (this is not a bad thing) and want a more relaxed reading experience, then there is no need to waste money, Shennong will tell you to change the grass. In the end, I made a bold statement (what kind of tradition is this?): If this book doesn't cut it, I'll rush to write down four to five million words. If I start writing about fighting for world hegemony, maybe there will be another "Xiling Empire" (referring to the number of words, the dark history of becoming an author, and the blessing to the author's career, oh my god!). As long as the book can be completed smoothly, even if it doesn't become popular, it will be of great benefit to the author's writing skills. I look forward to the author's subsequent performance (if it doesn't work (small beep)). The final stack: The above content (and comments) are all personal subjective opinions, and the actual reading experience varies from person to person; This post does not do any downvoting (oh my god!), If (I mean if) the author, the eunuch, is definitely not a sucker for this post (remember to kick me and I will scold him too).

Overall, this idea is quite good, the setting is very solid, and the knowledge related to civil engineering is also very detailed. But in my opinion, the pace is a bit too fast, and this fast pace leads to insufficient development of various elements of the book. I came here for the farming story at first, but I didn't enjoy it after a while, and suddenly it switched to war. It didn't take long for me to get used to it, but the collapse of the opponent was a bit too hasty (especially the surprise attack, it took me a long time to realize that it was the protagonist's father holding a telescope and riding a flying dragon to conduct reconnaissance in the sky), and the rhythm I had just adapted to collapsed again. Then he switched to strategizing and farming in parallel, but now his senses are focused on his head rather than his bottom, which makes it uncomfortable to watch.

A little bit of perspective. I came here to help the lord farm, develop the territory, and build infrastructure (gather grain widely, build walls high, and slowly become king). As a result, only the first 130 or so chapters were about construction in the territory, and the following 400 or so chapters were all about maneuvering and diplomacy in other people's territories. I almost fell asleep while reading it. In my opinion, it is the parts that should be written in detail. For example, the management and construction of the territory are written too quickly and too quickly. The business trip and diplomatic strategies that should be briefly written are too detailed and take up too much space. Maybe you are more suitable to write a traditional travelogue style fantasy novel or a palace battle for power strategy instead of a lord farming novel.

🌿, Civil engineer, are there any opportunities to appear in theoretical mechanics, structural mechanics, material mechanics, engineering materials, etc.😏

It seems that I don't have the desire to read the introduction.

I watched the protagonist engage in civil engineering, and then it was all about war and medical care. There was no civil engineering at all. I don't know why I chose this name. Is it misleading?

The author doesn't know how to write about war, it's messy and unattractive, and it's incomparable with development and construction content. At the same time, the author is not very good at writing books. There is nothing wrong with his writing, but he cannot figure out the core selling point at all. It seems that most of the book is developed for the civil construction of the title. However, the author seems to be enjoying himself and regards a lot of political warfare as the core of his writing. If you say that the protagonist cannot survive without fighting, and the story cannot advance, then you can just write it. But the protagonist has a complete family and everyone is like a dragon. Such a background wastes a lot of space on non-selling points. I really don't know what the author wrote this book for? Is it just fun to attract and drive away target readers?

Another point is that the average quality of these lords is too high! The people currently appearing are a bit too good and don't quite fit my impression of decadent feudal aristocrats! (ಡωಡ)

The beginning is confusing (bad review), the triumphal part is very powerful (good!), And the southward part is long and divergent as a foreshadowing (at best it shows the aristocratic ecology, at worst it is too open to remember the people). Before and After the Triumph is a good book, but the beginning is not good. An unfamiliar character is difficult for readers to be interested in. Until the protagonist participates in the war, it is like a happy light novel. It probably starts when the protagonist enters the sandbank. It won't be too boring to read continuously. After catching up with the latest, it will become uncomfortable. The author's side descriptions are many and very long. One part lasts three to five chapters. It will be released in several days. If you don't read it for a few days, there will be a feeling that the plot is incomplete and the author has not buried it. Hook (M is still G), resulting in "Why is this boiled water tasteless?" (In short, the beginning is not good, because I couldn't stand the first chapter. This book lay in my bookshelf for several months before I dug it out. After the protagonist found his family, I almost read it in one sitting, which was very satisfying)

After watching most of it, it seems a bit laborious. The transitions feel too jumpy. In many places, a scene is not completely written. These are not big problems. The biggest problem is the lord story. I want to see the territory construction of farming and the protagonist's ability. Ascension, and this book is a conspiracy detective article with the label of a lord, and there are too many stories about the bullshit of a fly camp and a dog dog. It is recommended to read the writing method of The Beast's Blood Boils. It writes about territory construction, personal growth, and conspiracy layout in a clear context, with obvious priorities.

I thought you would go to another world and use magic combined with modern technology to create wonders or build castles all the way to other people's faces. You started with such a high starting point, but you wandered around without knowing the result? You'd better change the title of the book

I feel that the author is a bit careless and the title is deceptive. The key features of the novel's title are "magic" and "civil engineer". As a result, in the plot, diplomacy is more important than farming. The author wants to write everything in detail from multiple angles, which slows down the pace of the whole novel. The protagonist It's not that much fun to write two chapters for the main diplomatic plot of going to the royal capital to seal the throne plus the branch plot. Writing one foreign policy can span hundreds of chapters, which makes the whole text seem "slow-burning" and watery. People who want to read farming find your diplomacy boring, and the rhythm of the story is completely hindered by your complex social relationships.

The Wood family occupies the top position in medicine in the Kingdom of Vecia, and has inherited the title of Duke since the most amazing and talented head of the family, Trotura Wood. The entire family has shined brightly in the large-scale plagues and other infectious diseases that swept the kingdom and the continent many times. This not only attracted the attention of the elves, but also had a significant impact on the status of the church in the past few centuries. But the pioneering spirit of one generation often requires at least three generations of rest and recuperation, not to mention the Wood family, a family that started at its peak and has been slowly declining. Now that the Wood family is controlled by Modric, it can be said that it is difficult to recover. The second generation also has its own small calculations, and the internal strife in the family is very serious. Family fiefdom: roughly divided into three parts, the largest part at the northern end of the Zivadin Plain, the middle part of the central province and the smallest fiefdom in the southeast of the Zivadin Plain Capital: Westphalia Family emblem: crow with a four-leaf clover Contemporary head of the family: Modric ·Wood (the only duke in the south) Fiefdom size: 18 standard baronies Family establishment: Knights Hospitaller Characters Modrich Wood: The contemporary head of the Wood family, the only duke in the south, the contemporary chief physician of Swansea Castle, the father of six sons and three daughters, a giant in the medical field of Wikidia. Moreno Wood & Joanna Bernardo Wood: Modric's eldest son and his wife, Moreno is nearly sixty years old. Ethanley Wood: Modric's second son, only two years younger than Moreno Wood. Cliff Wood: Modric's third son, greedy for money and short-sighted, has a close relationship with the Lu family, and wants to get on the royal family's ship. Moreno, Ethan Lay and Cliff were born to Modric and his first wife. Andre Wood: Modric's adopted son, with smaller hands, is one of the top male midwives in Wikiia. Derek Wood: Modric's fourth son, the de facto head of the Wood family in Zhivadin. Joshua Wood & Marika: Modric's fifth son and his wife, Joshua himself is a legendary lightning mage and a medical wizard, Marika's original family was deprived of her surname by King Groa for some reason, and the reason is currently unknown; there is a huge gap between Joshua and Modric, which is suspected to be related to his forced marriage to Marika, who was deprived of his knighthood. Everton Wood: Modric's youngest son. Derek, Joshua and Everton were born to Modric and his second wife, both of whom have passed away. Cline Wood: The son of Moreno, he once captured the homing pigeon issued by the Thorn Collar, so he was banned from home, which was the trigger for the acquaintance of Levi and Melina. Aurora Wood & Samville Wood: Cliff's children, Aurora still has some sense of responsibility for the family, while Samville is a pure playboy. Sheshko Wood & Rex Wood: Derek's eldest and second son, Sheshko is now the head of the Wood family at the East Prolus Field Hospital, and Rex is the senior deacon of the Kosh Mountains Trade Association. Melina Wood: The heroine of this book, the only daughter of Joshua, the third generation of the Wood family who is the most skilled in Chinese medicine, intends to take charge of the Wood family and become a duchess, and is now basically engaged to Levi Shelver.

After reading 50 chapters, I can say that it was originally a wonderful story, but the narrative was stiff and the twists were abrupt, making it unclear. 1. He was captured by orcs at the beginning and was rescued. I originally thought that the protagonist was a transparent ordinary person from a family. Unexpectedly, he was directly arranged to be the pseudo-head of the family. You are not allowed to explain the original protagonist's abilities and the reasons for his rise to power. However, the author did not explain it. 2. Since I was rescued and returned home to recuperate, logically, I should describe some transitional text about the worldview and setting of the mainland situation, local conflicts, family structure, etc. But no, we advance directly to the Griese family parasitic incident. Logically, we have to describe or speculate on who is causing trouble and why. The description is very vague and we skip it 3. It is the turn of the Wood family to enter the perspective. The reason for entering the scene is very vague. After skipping more than ten chapters, we know from Melina's psychological activities that a cousin may be involved in this parasitic incident. 4. The Snow Wizard Council enters the perspective, and there is no description of the organization's composition, stance, and power. 5. Then there was the plague incident on the Dela Plateau, the refugee flow, and foreign wars. It's really one thing after another without a break. Anyway, we have to hide many elements. Anyway, we have to bury pits, just to make you confused. Then my biggest personal complaint: It was originally a relatively serious fantasy novel about hegemony, but too many modern jokes and metaphors were inserted, which completely destroyed the sense of fantasy and made it confusing to read.

Newcomers feel that as an heir, he is doing things all over the place, and then doing other things before the results are achieved, which is not reliable. He said he was going to make a fire pit, but he went to make cement half way through, but before the cement was figured out, he went to make allicin. He wanted to do everything but failed.

Neither magic, nor "civil", nor lord. The writing was pretty good at the beginning, but the development of the main character in the back became more and more slow, and there was no sense of excitement at all. It was too slow to pick up, and most readers couldn't read it and gave up! I feel like a eunuch 🤤🤤

The ancestor of the Shelver family was a chef. Most likely, he took advantage of the owner's keen interest in asking for rewards and boldly proposed the hope of becoming a noble, thereby achieving a class jump. After many generations passed, he was finally granted the current fiefdom of Thorn Ridge in the Kingdom of Wikiya. It's just that this place is a border, and it can be said that there are constant military fronts. Since it was granted the title, it has been defeated seven times and its direct descendants have been changed five times. This branch is now the sixth branch. Fiefdom: Thorn Ridge, Dra Plateau Capital: Valan City Family crest: Thorn Rose (thorns surrounded by red roses (Brambles surrounding the Dra Plateau branch surrounded by white roses)) Current head of the family: Havertz (Count) In the territory: 18 baronies (Severely overstaffed) Family organizational units: Mountain Knights, Eagle Strike Knights, Rose Knights Characters Bara Schicritens Shelfer: former Earl of Thorn Ridge, head of the Shelfer family, "The Conspiracy", died in the Battle of Riverdale Town. Alexander Shelfer: The eldest son of Barra, originally scheduled to be the young master of Thorn Ridge, died in the Battle of Riverdale Town. Talia Jones: Alexander's wife, she helped the Shelfer family collect inheritance rights after Alexander's death, and later returned to the Sherver family and returned to the Jones family to live in seclusion. He and Alexander had no children. Haverts Goliath Julius Shelver: The second son of Barra, the current Earl of Thorn Ridge, the head of the Shelver family, an extraordinary warrior, the "God of War in the North", the current ceiling of human strength in this book. Marina Nyekova Alessandro Scherfer: Wife of Havertz, daughter of the Duke of the North, legendary mage, "Ice Witch", still retains the inheritance rights of the Alessandro family. Carlos Shelver: The youngest son of Baila, a count, his riding and shooting skills are even better than Havertz, and his fiefdom is in the Deira Plateau. Sheila Miles Shelfer: Carlos's wife, daughter of the baron of the Plateau de la Plateau. Alice Jones Shelfer: The youngest daughter of the head of the Jones family. Because Alexander and Thalia had no offspring, she was adopted to Lady Thalia. Levi Shelfer: The protagonist of this book, the eldest son of Havertz and Marina, is currently the number one traveler, the top contractor and Shaojun in Thorny Ridge, and basically controls all the power in Thorny Ridge except military power. He is a poor mage apprentice and has lung disease. Gorton Shelver: The second son of Havertz and Marina, the person who truly inherited Havertz's martial arts skills. Elsa Shelfer: The daughter of Havertz and Marina, she is gifted as a mage and is currently studying at the Snow Wizard Council. Vivian Scherfer: The eldest daughter of Carlos and Sheila. Lilith Shelfer: The second daughter of Carlos and Sheela. Oliveira Scherfer: Youngest son of Carlos and Sheila.

When the map arrived, I discovered that it was actually a modified version of the map used for riding and slashing. The place names are all copied by move

After reading about 10 chapters, I still can't figure out what the protagonist wants to do or what his goals are. There are as many names as in Western history books and I can't remember them at all

Isn't it about civil engineering and farming? Why is it that after leaving the northern border, it's all about intrigues between a group of nobles?

What should be written in detail is not written in one stroke or even not written at all. What should be written in detail is spent so much pen and ink.

The writing is piecemeal and very incoherent. One charge and then immediately start reporting how many trophies there are. How can the process be more enjoyable?

Open the harem and write more emotional dramas

I have been reading this book on and off for three years. Although the writing and characters are outstanding, it still feels like it is tasteless and a pity to abandon. I don't know what is wrong.

I have written more than 500 titles of the protagonist, and he is a viscount. This can already explain the problem. It is not normal to be popular. Logically speaking, with so many titles of the protagonist, it must be an earl or a marquis, and the result is a viscount.

Western fantasy has a single female protagonist? Slipping away

{"TopicId":"804728532092780544","TopicName":"Book Famine Terminator"} Book Title: "Civil Engineers Without Magic Are Not Good "Lord" Author:Zuo Siyouxiang Tags:Lord, farming, low magic, happy direction Comprehensive recommendation index:★★★☆ Liangcao (Writing: ★★★☆; Plot: ★★★★; Setting: ★★★☆) Book Review: Traditional The writing style of "Leading the Second Generation" farming novel is like an exquisite black-and-white landscape painting, with no complicated colors to limit your space for understanding the characters' emotions; and the world of low demons (extraordinary abilities and phenomena exist, but few people can master them and the channels are controlled by those in power) provide a good basis for immersion, and it is an earthy story. The only "disadvantage" is that the lords don't look like traditional medieval nobles - one competes with the other ghost. This resulted in the protagonist trying to teach his subjects how to mix cement. At the same time, he had to argue with these people. Fortunately, the protagonist's family was happy and harmonious. The family is in the midst of a renaissance, but it is in a shaky world - this is the breath of change, and the author leaves a huge stage for the protagonist. In short, I am very much looking forward to the follow-up story. This kind of novel with a winning plot must wait for the background to be drawn up, and the plot is plotted thousands of miles away in the fields, then it can be read heartily

There are so many names for people, we are not here to study history. Trouble is either given a nickname, or marked with a position, or associated with an identity, such as: "Judge of Justice" so-and-so, the clerk of the city hall so-and-so, the second young master of a certain family so-and-so, etc. Don't pop up one name after another. There should be a clear distinction between supporting characters and important supporting characters. Otherwise, it will be difficult for readers to grasp the key points and it will be difficult to understand the group portraits that the author wants to express. 😒

Obviously the viewing experience is good, but the performance is not good, because the plot is too out of the ordinary, the reading experience is really average, I have to stock up a little, I voted for three monthly tickets, hoping to get more updates.

First of all, it is considered a high-level masterpiece among classical Western fantasy novels, but at the beginning of each chapter I wish I could write a quote from a famous person. The plot is very complicated and sufficient, and the descriptions of the supporting characters are very detailed. If you follow the update, you can enjoy five minutes a month. This is a very classical way of writing. It is not suitable for fast food. The proportion of refreshing moments is very rare.
