Peerless Under Heaven

How should I put it, although this book is 16 years old and cannot be viewed from the current perspective, it still has very poisonous points. The author found that magic patterns are not standard after watching other film and television works, so of course he added a setting where all magicians in this world are "hand-painted" and the patterns are not standard. So we are in the background of a standard medieval aristocratic magical world. As aristocrats, mages do not use tools to assist in painting. The explanation given by the author is that the aristocrats have colored glasses and despise the wisdom and tools summarized from the life practice of lower-class craftsmen. However, after trying the magic circle with the standard pattern drawn by the protagonist with the help of a compass and ruler, its power has greatly increased, and it even feels that it is the secret of historical reform.                                        It's so natural. Is it possible that the magic apprentices in the movies and TV series used to use tools to draw to find the feel, and then used the feel to draw with bare hands in actual combat? Copying and learning are too difficult for this world, right? With geometric mathematics and its backward setting, the world picture is still grand and huge. It's like the gods suddenly wiped away the initial scientific and technological knowledge during the development of civilization, and the world's technological tree continued to develop normally without any conflict. The protagonist happened to have perfect basic knowledge when traveling to another world, so he used this most basic knowledge to become the only reformer in the world who even promoted civilization. The civilization mentioned in the preface is backward and sawing tools have not yet been developed. It is acceptable, but! There are two-wheeled carriages, but the nobles who live in big houses, drink fine wine and enjoy life as extravagant and extravagant people can actually accept the small and crowded two-wheeled carriages? ? Under the background of magic blessing and material strength permitting, no one would think of enlarging the board, adding two more wheels, adding more horses, or even using Warcraft to pull the cart, to make the carriage larger and more comfortable to sit on? Instead, let the protagonist use this as the exclusive business of the territory, modify the carriage and build it into a "Rolls-Royce" in another world to make a lot of money? ? ? It's so nonsense These low settings generally give me the feeling that the author could not have thought of a way for the protagonist to make a lot of money in another world before he received nine years of compulsory education. Of course, apart from these settings, there are too many character names in the early stage, which is difficult to remember, and the personal descriptions are not rich and complete, they are very similar. Other places are okay. Maybe the author was limited at the time and could only think of this kind of setting to set off the protagonist's wisdom in another world, but it's really hard to think about it carefully.

I feel that the protagonist has a double standard, and the setting of magic level and strength in the later period of this book really changes back and forth. The level 6 base level is a single target at level 9, but the group attack at level 7 base level 9 is only a tenth of that of level 6. After taking a bath, the scroll test said that he is a magic god. As a result, I feel confident that I can break through once. Let's compare with Meredith. In the first war between the principalities, there were only ten magisters and 50,000 troops on both sides. In the end, the Duchy of Milan had an army of 200,000 troops. One vice president can mobilize more than a dozen magic saints and thousands of magisters. With a dozen vice presidents and neutral ones, wouldn't there be hundreds of magic saints? In addition, the two empires are basically equal to the kingdom, and there are thousands of magic saints in human beings. In addition, the president of the Magician Guild is a magic god, and the two saints are close to high-level magic saints in their twenties (this is stronger than the magic geniuses Louisa and Louise who have been emphasized). Aren't the Speaker and the Pope two more magic gods, and there is only one elven clan that is said to be powerful and ignores humans? I still relied on taking a bath with the roots of the Tree of Life and taking a bath in Moon Well Water. I read this book in junior high school, and now I am reading it and it is really full of flaws.

This is to commemorate the first novel I ever read, the physical book my brother bought. I read the first half of the book and then never read it again.

The original title of this book was supposed to be Evil Empire.
