Review Detail of skylarias in The Empress's Gigolo
Review detail
Really looking forward to this novel. So far, 26 chapters in, we have the male MC who gets thrown between modern China and a feudal alternate world every three days. He can't control this, nor is there any reason given for his abilities. Time runs slower in the other world though, so when he spends three days there, ten have passed in China. Which leads to some problems when he gets thrown there without warning. The MC himself is super average. His only advantage is that he can look things up when he flips back into the modern world. Which is perfect, because I was getting tired of MCs that remember minute and obsolete production processes (I'm looking at you, Release the Witch, and the MC building a steam engine from scratch). He also can only bring between worlds items that are touching him when he travels. So there's no mass influx of items in either direction, but more of an exchange of ideas. Based on the title, I expect there to be romance at some point. By the way, the empress is a badass. There's no indication of a harem, but unfortunately you never know.

to be a bit fair to rotw china is very memorization based and based on his age hes fresh out of college(i think he was 21 or 22 in his original body) also later on he begins encountering memory troubles and is having people rediscover chemical formulas based on what he can remember and it isnt till far later he finds a way to fix that through witch powers
mmm yeah, Release the witch MC was a mechanical engineer (which i am aspiring to be) and if you are a mechanical engineer you do know a lot of the things he made (steam engines are really easy to make, even diesel and otto ("normal car") engines are quite ****** if you don't have a really complicated need (in the car industry there is restrictions everywhere in the weight, size, etc... while mc can create the engines and then the exterior), while turbines and the metal factory or whatever he made is impressive really, it's not impossible either (although you would need to have quite a lot of information in metalurgic engineering (which is one of many subdivisions of mechanical engineering) and how materials are made historically to really go create high quality steel to make a howitzer. About the information of gun manufacturing, that's something you don't really need a lot of info on, weapons are really straight forward and not incredible, if you know how one works, you know how everyone more or less works. The real problem: Chemistry, being a mechanical engineer you don't really have a lot of chemistry knowleadge to go and do a class about it, even less know all the procedures to produce some substances, like the gunpowder he produces (although you could know the substances and needs to create them, that would be almost impossible work to remember them and utilize them effectibly).
