this novel has an interesting story , the only thing lacking is the absence of s e x .in the situation the mc is in , given what we know about history, a guy in the mc's position would be fucking 1 of his 12 wives at least twice a day by his current age and would been married at 15 in that kind of society where girls start giving birth by 13 . aside from this your mc is cool and i like the world you made for him

Actually wrong, the belief that younger marriage and birth was common in ancient times is actually a common misconception, just like people living shorter lives. Younger marriage and birth below 16 was extremely uncommon, due to high rates of death in childbirth when younger. In a time when you were likely to die anyway, you definitely don’t increase those chances by giving birth at a younger age. This happened because anytime someone wanted to marry younger, they cited older societies where they said it was common. Evidence of this can be seen all the way back to the earliest societies, showing that it was never common, it was just said to be by pedophiles who wanted child brides. Living shorter lives is another one where it was kinda warped due to misunderstandings. Life expectancy was low in ancient times, not due to dying earlier, but due to death in childhood or birth skewing the average much lower. If you lived past childhood, you could typically expect to live till 70 at least barring murder by other tribes or beasts.
don't get me wrong , i am against children being married , but a 15 girl can have healthy babies , but at the mc's age given what he's accomplished he should have several wives in that era

And to add, mind my language, no condoms.

It also lacks a spell checker. The cover makes me cringe.
Average life expectancy varied from 30 to 38 years old before the scientific revolution
