Even as a Demon, I Still Have Construction to Do

Today I'm bringing you a gameplay video of Red Alert 3. Okay, so now we see the Empire is Orwin facing off against the Soviets' Tyrell. The Tyrell side has started with a barracks, producing infantry and mining, and also producing engineers to capture oil wells. Orwin, hmm? Only mining one mine? I don't know what kind of strategy that is, but his War Factory is already built. Okay, let's go back to the Tyrell side. The Soviets have already built a Heavy Factory, and the Spray Exploration Vehicle has started mining. The Soviets have also built an Airport. Now let's look at Orwin again. Okay, the Empire is still only mining one mine, producing one unit...

I haven't read many books yet, but this one has given me a fantastic feeling. There's no mindless harem, only pure instincts, and the protagonist isn't just pretending to be stupid; he's genuinely intelligent. Keep it up! Having read so many novels, this kind of story is rare. The varied perspectives allow for a comprehensive understanding of the narrative. This kind of story is extremely rare on SF (a Chinese online literature platform). I've read many stories about characters dying and transmigrating, but most are mindless, or it's a veteran pretending to be a newbie. This book gave me a different feeling; why didn't I discover it sooner?

The author deliberately omits class conflict, a relatively clever approach. Those who frequently read historical novels will notice that many of the protagonist's inventions lead to revolutions or opposition from vested interests, such as the invention of agricultural machinery. Furthermore, the author provides very little description of class dynamics in the demon society; there is no normal class oppression, nor is there a typical wealth gap, only a brief mention of the existence of rich areas and slums. While this avoids criticism from readers or the embarrassing situation of inadvertently ruining the book due to problems in class handling, it also creates a sense of disharmony. This disharmony mainly stems from touching upon the...

This light novel is one of my favorites. It's full of hilarious dialogue and comedic elements. Reading it feels more like watching a game livestream than a novel, especially the battlefield scenes, which feel very game-like. It has everything, but... The male protagonist's intelligence seems to be two-sided. Sometimes he's incredibly intelligent, like he's reading a script; other times he's ridiculously stupid. Especially the part where he's almost killed by a sniper. He repeatedly emphasizes how important the key necklace is, but when the key is gone, he acts like it doesn't matter. Is he stupid? This plot is so contrived. Ever since this plot...

In *2001: A Space Odyssey*, there's a scene where people discover a black monolith from an alien civilization. When measuring its length, they find its proportions to be a perfect 1:4:9. Humans exhaust all their methods, using the most sophisticated measuring instruments, yet the final result remains 1:4:9. This suggests that the alien civilization that created the monolith possessed industrial precision far exceeding that of humans, reaching the level of elementary particles or even the Planck unit—a truly unimaginable and terrifying prospect. For the dwarves, hundreds of identical hammers represent their "black monolith," but the author didn't elaborate further...

I wonder if anyone has seen *Release That Witch*. It feels incredibly similar in terms of characters, opening sequence, terrain design, and even plot development. First, those who have seen it will understand the inexplicable similarity in the beginning—let's leave that aside for now. The key point is that both territories have water and mountains, both mountains coincidentally have magical beasts, both coincidentally have a magical girl facing discrimination, both coincidentally feature feudal slavery, and both coincidentally involve a struggle for royal power…

I was in eighth grade when I was reading this book, and now I'm a freshman in college.

This book is the other extreme, very laid-back, really... The writing is so-so, but the author's imagination is quite good. The various world-building settings and foreshadowing are well done, and the concept is commendable. Watching the protagonist's journey feels like quietly building blocks in a room as a child, undisturbed; it's also like playing a game of "Civilization," silently developing and conquering the world. So, if you approach this story with a laid-back, farming mentality, the slow development is very comfortable. However, this is also the biggest weakness of the story: there are twists and turns, but they don't really create any major waves. There are ups and downs, but it always feels like the development is insufficient... From the Inseis offensive and defensive battles to the civil war...

How to put it? It feels like playing SimCity, a SimCity in another world. First, you need a city, then a rival, then you develop technology, determine the direction of that technology, then address resource shortages, then mine, then recruit talent, then develop advanced technology. Then all sorts of cutting-edge technologies appear, giving you the feeling of a lucky player enjoying an online game – it's simply awesome. Various familiar yet different tech trees. I'm looking forward to the later stages; I wonder if we'll see things like magic-powered interstellar battleships. (*^ワ^*)
