The author sounds like an armchair gun nut, who has played lots of airsoft and played with replica guns but hasn’t served in the military, so it EXACTLY suits me 😁. You know what you’re in for when the guns get more description than the characters! Oh, and the biggest thing for me is, it’s NOT isekai!!! I honestly can’t remember the last non-isekai story I read. 👍 The set up is logical, the world building makes sense (it’s set in our world, but the adventures the MC gets into are believable) and NPCs are treated like real people in the story. The guns are lovingly described, the MC gets to live out his gun fantasies and there are plausible reasons why he’s good enough to overcome his challenges. Overall, there aren’t too many glaring plot holes or artificial stupidity incidents. While the MC treats his NPCs like real people and MC looks after their welfare, the one single gripe I have about this novel is that the side characters aren’t too well fleshed out. One of them is simply described as “younger guy” and I may have missed it, but I don’t recall even a description of what that character looked like. I was happy to read up to the paywall and if I ever have excess coins I may dip back into this just to see if the MC ever gets it on with Catherine 😉

I like this alot, as an amateur gunsmith who learned in a professional environment although the knowledge shown is somewhat superficial in regards to firearms and tactics in some ways it does scratch my itch, my only issue is updating frequency, I wish the author would just update and rhere would be like 15 translated chapters for me to binge through in one sitting, overall a great piece of fiction to pass the time to, this novel is a piece of fresh air and at least the author did some research because many on this platform I've tried before have none and its overall a horrible read for those because the people are writing scenes involving firearms when they know next to nothing about them to an extent they will confuse a clip with a magazine or because of lack of knowledge do ludicrous fight scenes like a person going in for close combat with a combat knife when they have the high ground and an advantage and it could be ended in seconds with one well placed shot but because they don't know the rifle the character has is accurate at that range they go in and do a melee battle because that's all they are familiar with, in real life gun fights only take at most a minute or two to kill your opponent typically, but obviously it depends, I like this novel where the character had his mind wired up focused where he acknowledges every detail like a super computer making detailed descriptions for us the reader of something that happens in seconds, meaning something that could be anticlimactic, because of the authors skill turns into something epic, I just hope he doesn't stretch fight scenes into like 8 chapters for something that was only 3 minutes of action in actuality. Overall I love this, write more so I can binge!

TheLastKingdom: Transmigrated w/ Proficiency System

USA, Louisiana.. a small town in north-east Louisiana.. if you see a little-bitty tiny dot with the name 'Oak Grove' beside it.. in the most north-east corner of Louisiana.. fifteen minute drive north.. and you' ve crossed into the state of Arkansas.. Or if you would have drove fifteen minutes east instead of north.. you would have crossed over the Mississippi-Louisiana state line.. so that gives you a pretty good general location of the town of my birth.. Unfortunately it wouldn't be the town of my untimely and unexpected death.. nope.. for I would not die in a town.. no.. I would be eventually crushed.. by a section.. of thirty-two inch.. steel.. heavy-wall.. industrial pipe.. for a natural gas line.. being lay'n.. from just north of the cities.. Odessa and Midland.. of the state of Texas.. Over a thousand miles away from my place of birth.. Bastrop.. Louisiana.. where the closest 'safe' hospital was for me to be born at.. forty miles west.. by north-west from where my family had lived for generations.. Oak Grove.. My family has worked as surveyors.. for pipelines and gas or oil facilities.. being built all across this great country on the continent of North America.. for atleast two generations.. If my children take up the mantle.. that would make.. three generations of my family.. to feed and provide for their families.. working as pipeline surveyors.. see Oak Grove is poor.. poor as dirt.. total population.. barely over two thousand.. average gross income per capita per family for a year.. less than ten thousand dollars a year.. there's just no real paying jobs.. in Oak Grove or anywhere near it.. so while the people who choose to work in Oak Grove make ten thousand dollars a year.. I started out as a 'rod-man' which was the lowest man on the 'totem-pole'.. making what those in Oak grove..worked a year for.. I made in a month.. I did nothing but pack bundles of wooden stakes.. then carry them up the mountains of West Virginia.. Or across the deserts of West Texas.. swamps of south Louisiana.. down around Baton Rouge.. or Tibbedaux.. the Everglades of Florida.. fuck I get that nauseous feeling every time I think of when I 'work'd' there.. I walked up on a dead body without a head.. not long after that.. still on the same project I saw the 'headless' corpse on.. I almost stepped on the biggest python I've ever seen.. the fucker was atleast ten feet long and two to three feet wide around.. Anywho, back to what I was talking back before I went off subject for a bit.. I started out making ten thousand dollars every month.. thats twelve times what I would have earned working a month in Oak Grove.. instead of working in these dangerous jobs.. Been a lot of dangerous places.. dangerous terrains.. working in a very hazardous career.. but I was well paid like I said.. and now I don't have a body left to send home to my parents.. that section of pipe.. weigh tens of thousands of pounds.. when the 'Komoda' excavators that were lifting the section tipped.. that was it.. one of the operators didn't extend his 'boom' on his excavator all the way out like he should have.. Now the pipes falling.. as soon as it lands on me.. thats it.. so much weight.. my head will pop and shoot right of my shoulders.. up in the air towards the heavens themselves.. reaches its peak height of its short flight.. then falling.. all whilst my body will be crushed and explode to nothing but splatter'd meat paste.. ending my first life.. trust I've seen it.. I know what will happen from experience.. and so beings the next chapter of life.. I see a tunnel with bright light radiating from then end of it.. as I reach the light I take the final step.. the blinding light recedes and fades away out of existence.. I find my surroundings returning to a lightness that my eyes can afford to see clearly in.. only to meet another pair of eyes facing me.. everything else is shrouded by darkness.. I see only eyes.. staring at me.. staring into me.. starin

A Time Traveller's Guide to Feudal Japan

Do people chase greatness, or does greatness chase us? A.I. genius, Gengyo, through the assistance of SAPPHIRE attains the means to time travel. He seeks a simpler life, and wishes to experience the warmth of a family. But often we do not get what we want, we get what we deserve. And his peaceful times soon end, as war storms Japan, and in order to protect his peace, he must conquer. Join Gengyo as he walks a blood-stained path toward absolute domination, seizing control of Japan. //Brief extract from one of the battle scenes. Written from the point of view of a samurai landowner, Niwa Nakatane. The hooves grew closer to Nakatane's position and their beating hearts grew faster. Perhaps they could simply remain like that, hiding behind the tree, and allow these barbarians to pass? That way could they not return home to their families? Could they not give their dear wives one final kiss, or share one final story with their enthusiastic youth? Nakatane knew exactly what they were thinking. And as the ground rumbled, and the mounted beasts howled, he was the first man to step out from the trees and make his stand. "OORAH!" Possessed by a furious energy, he thrust out with all the aggression of a war god, puncturing Ochi's stallion through the chest with the sharpened wooden point of his lengthy spear. The mammoth fell from his mount clumsily, his head colliding with a nearby tree root. He ceased to move, and a pool of blood began to form around him. "ARM THESE SPEARS MEN! VICTORY SHALL BE OURS!" He stood in front of the charge of over 150 horsemen, alone. But he did not give a single inch of ground. He met the charge of the next man in line, roaring vengefully, possessed by all the rage and power that had accumulated in his body over these past years. The horsemen shrieked like a pack of hyenas, fanning out, each eager for a piece of the man who had brought down their leader. //I did not create the book cover.
