The main idea of ​​this story is to draw attention to the theme of "Silk Road". This path was connected with other "World Paths" and allowed the exchange of information, techniques, culture goods. Those who controlled these paths could have an impact on the economy and politics of countries that were associated with this path. Thus, thanks to the Silk Road, new food products appeared in those countries where they did not exist before. There are new culinary dishes - pedmeni, noodles, steamed buns, manti. Without them, the modern kitchen of the Silk Road regions would lose a lot in understanding the taste. The author hopes that even despite the not very good English text of the story I have written, the information will be interesting to the reader. The Silk Road theme needs a good novel, until I saw it, a good writer may appear and create such a novel or be interested in writing it. Then my goal for writing this short story will be achieved. P. S. Perhaps I will add a new era - namely, the period from the 19th century to the 20th century (its middle).

Go rin no sho in third person. This review is part of a review swap (I apologise for being tardy). This is just about as far from western writing as you can get. While the language used is superb compared to the average on this site it's a hard read if you expect a story built according to, for example, the structure given by Joseph Campbell. Rather than story I'd call this history. I'm not talking about the prose and execution you'd expect from a history book published today in the European or American sphere, but rather the kind you'd run into a couple of hundred years ago in the far east. Some older Arabian writing should also fit in pretty well. Given those boundaries it's done very well, but those are harsh boundaries indeed. There is a narrative, but the vast majority of the text is exposition. You'll either have to buy into this, or just drop it altogether. There's simply no middle way. Now for the stars: Writing: Five stars. Not much to comment here. Updates: Five stars. A mere seventeen chapters isn't enough for me to check updates. Story: Four stars. It develops, but as I've stated earlier, this isn't a story in the ordinary way at all. Character: Three stars. The people in the story are there as reader proxies to explore a world and a time in a fictional universe. They aren't there to experience that world themselves. World: Five stars. This is basically all about world. Everything else takes a back seat. Lastly: An interesting experiment. It's not my cup of tea, but it's still a very well executed experiement.
