Unlikable main character and slave morality. 0/10.
If there is no bugspray in the future, I am going to be extremely disappointed.
Based.
Surprisingly well written and suprise of surprises, well edited. So far, cliche, but sufficiently well played clichés that I am willing to keep reading, hoping for a well turned phrase or a startling conceit. 8/10 so far. I will observe author-kun's efforts with great interest. Suprise me!
This redeems the ugliness displayed in Tyrant of Steel. Well written and realized. MC wants to save the beauty of Christendom, not smash it. 10/10. Read for war and war industry porn.
OK, I've dumped a fair amount of coins on this, and it's time to give initial feedback. The writing is rough. Could use an Editor's loving touch or at least a few passes through Grammerly. But that doesn't matter because the plot moves along at a decent pace, without any false attempts at high style or fancy interiority. The author knows what we here for a and gives it to us. An ambitious upstart who uses his secret geeky knowledge from his former primary world life to carve his own kingdom. We have a low-fantastic secondary world that roughly mirrors our own, specifically the Classical Hellenic world of the Peloponnesian Wars. The story roughly starts as Anabasis and then morphs into Alexander's Persian campaign. The smut and harem building is meh. Having slavegirls actually say "uwu" is tacky. The main squeeze girlboss-hear-me-roar somehow defeats a veteran hoplite with a weight, height, reach, and experience advantage, which is just silly. But I guess anime watching kids expect this these days. All in all, it's not Blood and Steel, but already better than the abortion that was Tyranny of Steel. Author-kun should consider reading John Norman's Gor novels for inspiration and style cues for putting slavegirls to use. Overall, 7/10 as of now, will keep reading.
Of all the things that never happened, this is the thing that never happened the most.
Oh shut the fuck up.
Was rather enjoying this until this chapter. What utterly ugly revolutionary rot.
