This is offensive to my eyes. The fact that anybody was able to even get past the synopsis reduces my faith in humanity.

Never mind, it sucks.

It got bumped!

This is really good! The amount of significant achievements one can attain in a high-level academic field like superconductors is low- all major discoveries come from group collaborations and there are often lots of politics involved in distribution/attribution of credit and authorship. Adheres to the protag’s fear of losing his work to someone else, v. well done.

Nothing negative intended with my comment, sorry for any confusion.

Everyone says it’s good so it must be good right? Right?

Literally.

I know I’m necroposting, but just wanted to chip in. The during 10-12th century China, the “fire lance” was invented, the proto-gun. Basically strapping a disposable gun component to the neck of a spear, used as a shock weapon. It did eventually become used more for its ranged component later on, eventually becoming the first handcannon. The technology spread through the Middle East to the west. The reason why China eventually went back to using archers and crossbow men is not conclusively known. A theory is that they had greater rate of fire and so were generally more effective. Don’t quote me on this part though.

Actually I like the idea of him writing a diary. While he has quick memory, we don’t know exactly how good it is at preserving information chronologically, so a diary serves as a good method of time-keeping. Also it can help him vent, since being a transmigrator creates a layer of separation between him and natives. This is further increased with his unlimited lifespan, so it can probably be considered some form of therapy.

You can. Between Chinese and English, if a name doesn’t have a direct translation, you can translate phonetically instead. For example, Roland in Chinese is Luo Lan. Usually translators will prefer to translate a Chinese name like Luo Lan into its phonetic equivalent rather than its direct meaning for ease of understanding. They did not translate the street names, which is IMO a mistake, since it’s not outlandish to have a street called “Red Flower road” as opposed to leaving it as “Honghualu” or something.
