It was good at first and promised a lot like other kingdom building novels but the main character failed to reach that objective a vast majority of them.

"The Sage of Einar" is an exciting story similar to Diana Gabaldon's "Outlander", with a touch of Nordic and Viking history. Personally, I'm a sucker for stories with vikings in them. I could count the number of Eric, son of Eric's I have read about in dozens of novels. So, this one definitely caught my eyes. Alas, because I hold so much expectations for this, I too will give an appropriate review. Points to work on: -Grammar: It's definitely better than most of the webnovels I've read, but I know you can do better with your proofreading. Make it more readable, and I might just be an avid fan. -Dialogue: Now this is a tough issue. Frankly, the characters don't seem real, especially when you read through their dialogues. I may not be privy to it, but is there a modern country where a father calls his daughter, "Daughter"? This is one of the biggest issues I've seen, and it's important to improve on this because having a culture-rich story like this requires believable character interactions. If the conversations are as dry and constructed as the ones I have seen, then more should really be done about it. Points I really liked: -Story: The plot is fast-paced and interesting. I would have been easily sucked into it if there were less problems with the grammar and dialogue. -Feelings: I loved how their interactions were human-like (sadly, their dialogue was weirdly off...). Max was crazy scared when he was looking for his daughter. The daughter was hinted to be jealous about his father treating Ana well (and not her deceased mother!). It's cute, and these little things matter to me as a reader. -Representation: Greece, Japanese, Nordic, American(?). I loved the slight references to many nations and cultures. Andddd that's about it! I might have been carried away too much, but there's my honest review. This novel holds great promise, and appeals to a certain target market (me), but sadly still suffers from general writing. Author, improve more on the technicalities, and I might turn out to be a fan. :D

Hello, how are you guys, I am the author leaving a message that you should read before starting the reading of the novel. I was able to read a lot of comments and reviews in which it is mentioned that the story progresses slowly. I want you to know that the first part of the story comprises from episodes 1 to 205. It is the basis of the novel because it was the moment where the characters and the world around them were developed. This was done intentionally because in the next volumes of the novel the story will develop with more speed. I hope you can understand this before you start reading the novel, but if you wonder after episode 205 the time span between episode and episode will only increase. Of course, there will be no radical time jumps that can cause plot holes or discomfort on your part. As for the secondary story that is told, it is very important because it is the course of the world that is changing just by changing some things. From the civil war in the Frankish Empire to changes in the Byzantine Empire, all history will change.

He made the novel premium promising to make it better ... Its not ... The translation is still bad and shows no signs of improvement ... He also slowed down the story speed so that he can milk this for everything its worth.

He should change the name to the sage of cooking because thats seems to be the main topic of this novel atleast in the first 70 chapter that is. There is too much in this novel that doesnt matter ... Im fine with side stories but every chapter feels like one

The translation is passable but the author has never mad an effort to fix the mistakes. The biggest issue is the story development, all the MC does is talk about what he wants to do but 90% of it never gets done or cant be done yet. So why keep talking about it every chapter.

This is freaking good. This is the story on Earth and you guess what. It does really dangerous thing though. Come on guys. Author has balls to not hide crimes of Christanity or talk about raising foxes for fur. People got really ****ed up because of peace. Even if human ability to communicate across the world improved to another level. Freedom of speech moved only little forward from medieval times. You can talk whatever you want but... It cannot be offensive. When you combine this with generation of snowflakes... It always offends someone. It's simillar to people that attack novels with rape. It's real... It happens. Hiding its existence makes things worse... We humans are ****ed up species for sure. Good luck author. Don't take snowflakes attacks to heart!

BAD VERY BAD. The Author might as well make his dead daughter the MC because she is the only one with the ideas it seems. Youd think after translating 200 chapters for PREMIUM use the translation would get better but instead it seems a little worse

Back To 1370: Establishing The Federal Reserve

I traversed back to 1370, to Lübeck, a city in Germany. Lacking the expertise of a scientist, I could not bring the steam engine or industrialization to life. Instead, I took the scholar's route, establishing the Federal Reserve, just for the fun of it. The Hanseatic League, guilds, clubs, The Three-Body Problem, stock exchanges, futures contracts, stocks, paper currency, Napoleon's artillery tactics... these are the gifts the protagonist offers to the ancients. This novel revolves around the ultimate goal of establishing the Federal Reserve, with the creation of paper currency and credit as the central mission. Each plot is steeped in business warfare and profit-making, filled with numerous case studies of commercial conflict that demand careful thought from the reader. Be forewarned, this book is intellectually stimulating—dare to take the challenge. In The Three-Body Problem(A 2008 novel by the Chinese hard science fiction author Liu Cixin ), the Dark Forest theory suggests that resources are finite, yet the expansion of civilizations knows no bounds. The protagonist also assists his brother in rising from a mere baron to the Emperor of the Holy Roman Empire.

Reincarnated: Vive La France

France, 1934. The scars of the Great War still shape the military minds of the Third Republic. Trapped in the past, its generals place their faith in fortifications and defensive warfare, while across the Rhine, a new German army rises, faster, deadlier, and ready to crush everything in its path. Into this world awakens Captain Étienne Moreau, a man who should not exist. He remembers another life, one where France falls in 1940, where German tanks storm through the Ardennes, bypassing the Maginot Line. One where his country surrenders in a matter of weeks. But here, now, he has a chance to stop it. As an officer in the 2nd Armored Division, he fights for reforms: pushing for mobile tank warfare, warning of Hitler’s growing ambitions, and challenging the high command’s obsession with World War I tactics. Yet, his ideas are dismissed as radical, madness from a young officer who "thinks he knows war." Surrounded by political intrigue, military infighting, and rising fascism, Moreau must carefully navigate the system, winning allies among future leaders like Charles de Gaulle, while avoiding suspicion from the French High Command. His knowledge is a double-edged sword, if he is too aggressive, he risks being labeled a traitor. If he does nothing, he will live to see France burn. As war draws closer, Moreau faces a terrifying question: Can history be changed? Or is France doomed to fall, no matter what he does? Time is running out. The Blitzkrieg is coming. And he may be France’s last chance to fight back. -------------- Join my Discord Server. https://discord.gg/jma9zt3eNs I'm writing in a pretty niche genre, so I don't expect a huge number of readers.

His new lands are on the border that is held peaceful by an uneasy truce and the same lands that claimed his father’s life on the battlefield.

Will he become another casualty to the lands that have already claimed his father, or become something more as he climbs his way to prominence? At least he can be sure that his brother would never see him rise peacefully, and the neighbouring Grand Duke desires the last territory of the kingdom on the eastern side of the mountains. His position is anything but stable, he will do anything to change that and build his realm.
