I love this story so far, keep it up! Also, an idea, couldn't Viserys have some people or red priests get the dragon eggs Illyrio Mopatis? They could likely steal them quietly, especially with the help of magic, and if not then buy them. Getting the dragons earlier would let them grow properly for the long night.
If he can get the greenseer ability, which is a magic ability inherited by blood, then how is the dragon/Targ bloodline any different? Even if he couldn't get the actual bloodline, he could still get all of the abilities/skills the person with that bloodline has.
One thing I'm wondering about a few chapters in the past. Why didn't the MC take any skills from Dany? She would probably have something like pure dragonlord bloodline, fire immunity/resistance, blood and fire magic talent, dragondream talent etc. Also maybe some sort of will skill that makes her able to stand up against almost anything done to her. Sure the MC also has dragonblood, but it's likely far less pure than Dany's. Also the combination of his natural bloodline talents combined with Dany's might give him even greater improvements.
I do wish we would get to know the MC's perspective a bit more from the internal side though. He's an SI, but we don't really get any insight into his long-term plan or his thoughts on being born into Dune. I'd love for a perspective more based on his thoughts and internal monologues.
You killed the fic when you changed planetos. Also, the Braniac AI would allow him to basically advance to Kryptonian tech so why is he not focused on technological advancement? His strength and abilities could allow him to kickstart the invention of electricity and its use, and then he could expand exponentially by always knowing the next step of the technology tree. The AI should easily be able to create designs for integrated circuits and computers based on the factors the MC already knows even if the AI doesn't have a massive database (although I would argue that the AI couldn't be on the level of Braniac without the same or similarly sized database as Braniac) and then the future expansion can continously be calculated. Such a waste of potential just to make some whiskey and act like a knight....
You're using summary faaaaar too much. You explain what is happening rather than letting the reader experience it. Show the meetings in more detail, explain the thought process of Aemond, showcase the minutia of the meetings, describe people/locations, while not using a too flowery language. The concept of the story is interesting, but the execution could really need some work.
The story is interesting, but the fact that the MC doesn't know anything about anything is too frustrating and makes the story a mess. The story would be 10x better if you just made the MC an insert with meta-knowledge so he at least gets the basics and we don't have to rehash every single fictional character he meets and their abilities or why they are important.
To get a higher quality novel please stop focusing on the characters in other worlds. Due to how the story is structured I literally cannot make myself care about anyone of them even a tiny bit, so it just ruins the rest of the novel. I only care about the MC and Lena. What is the reason you focus on other worlds even? Also the discussion of plot from different fictional stories just feels like repetition and writing from a wiki structured like a conversation. Why are you rehashing the plot of every single fictional work included??????
I'm curious, why not take the wish of knowledge further? Why not include anything from all fiction and nonfiction? He could combine divine magic and the technology of the Xeelee and become a million times the better of Doom. And if you just wanted magic/martial arts then why not include all media and non-media (reality)? Purposefully limiting wishes seems foolish. It would make more sense if the MC was simply granted these boons and couldn't change them, then I wouldn't have a complaint.
