Review Detail of chance_isaac in Tyranny of Steel
Review detail
Read a few chapters after the pay wall before I dropped it. Good idea, bad execution that slowly gets worse. The MC leans into his medieval mindset really fast. he turns into a a hole fast, but not even an enjoyable one. The author gives a couple blanket statements on how the Mc knows the inventions early on, a lot of them make no sense for the Mc to know. It was the same thing with the resources to make the inventions, just a blanket statement that the barony is rich in steel.

I get that but it’s jarring when he complains that he can’t get certain stuff like coco or chemistry ingredients. But a lot of his inventions that he made, he probably didn’t have the ingredients in his small barony either. I also think that it was just a dumb blanket statement, he could’ve made a better one by just saying he established a trade. It was only ever mentioned that he was a seller never a buyer. To me, there’s only so much suspension of disbelief before you ask how tf did he make that? It’s not even my biggest complaint but I’ve seen a lot of the comments while reading wondering how he could make stuff. My main complaint was the deterioration of the MC’s personality in my eyes. I put it in the review just for people to know so if they find that kind of stuff annoying, they can skip. At the end of the day just wanted to be helpful and maybe save some people time.
IronMike:Well? Do you know the amount of time it takes to research and fact check everything? It's for the simplicity of the novel and progress of the story that Zent doesn't go into detail about all the small things. This is not the site to be on for a deep dive into mining and iron ore extraction my guy.
It only gets worse. In the later chapters the excuses disappear and he just somehow knows how to do everything. Besides, his personality and those around him are utterly disgusting in later chapters. The author has some kind of r*pe fetish and the character development turn even more one dimensional.

I assure you he doesnt have a r*pe fetish. And for why he knows as much as he does is becuase he was a loser in his past life who only spent time studying yo get into a good school for engineering which is why he knows so much about how to build things and not chemistry and everything he made was made from trade for from stuff in his territory
chance_isaac:Glad I dropped then, thanks for the info.
At beginning as a soldier he read many historical articles books as well as an engineer officer and also mentioned that mc has great or photographic memory so I think that helps well these are enough I mean if you are such advantages it's not bad I mean

Yeah I get that, at the time I just put it in there because a lot of the comments were getting confused on how tf he made stuff. I just put it in there to let people know if they might find it jarring before reading. Like I said to another comment my main distaste was for the mc’s actions. He became ruthless and messed up almost out of nowhere. I can’t remember much because it’s been a while, I just remembering that the mc became a terrible person. I don’t need every mc to be a good guy but to me the story was going downhill anyway so I dropped.

fuxk I was noticing a trend when the mc said he should get the church on his side in an attempt to trap Adela
