Warhammer Fantasy: Even the Ratmen Want to Ascend Through Genetics

It truly employs the technique of first suppressing and then suppressing; the opening is very well written, depicting a three-way battle where one party tries to profit from the chaos. Then, after about thirty or forty chapters of farming, various crises begin to appear. The protagonist is chased by various forces for nearly a hundred chapters.

21 Genetically engineered mice—that's a classic story. I bet they'll just end up being thrown around everywhere and half of them will rebel. If that's the case, I won't read it. I'm sick of hearing about Warhammer games; there's nothing new about it.

It's really frustrating. Either you give a continuous dose of enjoyment, or you give a satisfying moment after a period of restraint. But this author made a really cruel decision: they constantly make the protagonist suffer setbacks and drag things out for ages before finally giving a satisfying moment.

I've read over 300 chapters so far, and my impression is that it's not as much of a Skaven as I expected; instead, it's more like the Tau Empire and the yellow-skinned Skaven 🙂 (I can't quite explain why, but it feels more like the Tau Empire than the Empire). There are also some visual novel elements mixed in. For example, the Skaven female affairs officer slave is getting too arrogant.

Let's take a group photo.

What does this mean? I've read over two hundred chapters, and every time the protagonist gets stronger, he suffers a setback. There's almost never a scene where the protagonist overcomes all obstacles. Is the author really a rat? This is so depressing! 🤔

It's not quite right to call a black mouse Jerry. Jerry is a brown mouse, so I think a black mouse should be called Mickey.

Congratulations to the author for achieving the milestone of 300 chapters without the protagonist reaching the surface. I was thinking we were finally going to make contact with the surface, but then the perspective shifted to other characters. Last time when I was writing about Slaanesh, I was wondering if the protagonist's forces would still not have reached the surface by chapter 300.

When modifying Skaven, don't erase their distinctive features, or they'll just look like a bunch of humans with rat ears. Why not look for Warhammer human literature instead?

The protagonist's fur color could be changed, although it would only have a logical flaw for those familiar with Skaven. Black-furred rats wouldn't be in breeding pits, nor would they be small. Black-furred rats are the strongest of the unmodified rats and would be selected by the clan to be trained into Storm Rats, just like the white-furred or horned ones.
