The novel is very weak both in terms of narrative and the logic of what is happening, the world created by the author is bursting at the seams, everything is reaching the point of absurdity, when China has also taken over the whole world. They have a technological leap, but for some reason there are still villages that, with difficulty, have raised money for the main character's education at the university.
Let's say that the line between rich and poor is too big, but even here the logic is dying because they also have robots, why pay human miners a salary if you can send the same robots to the mines, saving a lot of money at the same time.
There are a lot of such logic-breaking worlds in this novel, the process of creating a game is incredibly boring and mediocre, everything rests on the fact that there is technology to create a 3A game in a week, but there is no creativity and imagination ...
A meaningless novel, both in terms of Creating Games and in terms of Warhammer.
At the moment, this is undoubtedly the finest Chinese fan fiction on Warhammer. Surprised to find it missing from this site, I quickly requested it.
The fanfiction excels, with the author showcasing a deep understanding of both Warhammer and The Lord of Mysteries. The combination is exceptional, and the narrative avoids the extremes often seen in Warhammer fiction. Every decision and choice made by the main character matters, as he is not just an ordinary Commissar or Astartes, but the Primarch of a lost Legion. This allows for significant creative freedom, as the details of the two lost Legions are removed from canon.
The main character is well-versed in Warhammer lore and skillfully incorporates it into the story. Other Primarchs are also well portrayed, but the plot centers on the main character and his Legion. He creates his own Beyonders, captures key planets, and enhances his Legion’s weapons, training, and tactics. His territory continues to grow stronger, and by discovering lost STCs, he secures lucrative contracts with Forge Worlds.
His stance toward Xenos ranges from neutral to hostile. He is willing to adapt and modify their technology, outfitting his ships with powerful Xenos-based weaponry. However, he shows no mercy or sympathy—he destroys their planets without hesitation. Even the Emperor, impressed by his accomplishments, allows him to use Xenos technology. Thanks to his policies that greatly benefit ordinary people and the creation of prosperous worlds, he quickly becomes the Emperor’s favorite.
I’ve read all the available content, and there’s no trace of Chinese nationalism or racism. While the author occasionally includes small Chinese jokes and 40K memes, they never cross the line and are not intrusive.
For its genre, a good novel, the harem does not interfere with the story, and as I understand it, the author added the harem to distract from the absurdity in the story.
To be specific, from the outside, it appears that the author created this survival game, the system, and the logic of the universe. There is a wonderful land where wheat grows in five days, and if you stir it with the wonderful water, the harvest matures even faster. There are many wonderful things, as long as the materials are there, they are automatically created. However, why do the women in the harem have no other clothes than their own? At the beginning, this was sold on our chat, but for some reason, the author forgot or gave up on it, and the women went around the house naked.
There are too many such seemingly small details that affect the perception of the world, and the author completely ignores them.
However, for its genre, this is a good novel. The main character behaves appropriately, as long as it does not involve love affairs. The author creates very absurd situations, so even if the main character does not want to have sex with a woman, she accidentally falls on his face with her butt.
Well, the main character says: "I'm a normal man, so..."
The survival aspect is written in a more or less interesting way, and the characters do not annoy (or do not have time to annoy) in general, so you can read it.
Not the best and not the worst novel for its genre. But the author likes to stretch things out and sometimes you read 4-5 chapters about an insignificant topic that could be covered in half a chapter. The way and means of earning money also raises doubts. Instead of giving the main character 2-3 months to hit the first big jackpot, the author made the main character a billionaire in 2 months, and this is hard to believe, even if you turn a blind eye to many things and switch off your brain. But how does the main character win at Chinese gambling games? If the whole point of this game is to buy a random boulder and pray to all the gods to bless you with luck so that there is valuable Jade inside this boulder. The main character doesn't have cheats or x-ray vision, he hasn't even encountered these events in his past life, and yet he wins 24 million on this!
Overall, a boring novel. As a business novel, it doesn't work because you don't believe in this world created by the author. As a daily novel, it also doesn't work, but if you have nothing to read, you can look at it up to 100-150 chapters, after that it gets boring to death.
At the beginning, the author tried to build a logic of what was happening, but with each new chapter it became worse. Attempts to show 40K through cinematic techniques quickly stopped, and the author limited himself to comments from the jury and online viewers. I'm tired of such online chats in every novel. Why do Chinese people prefer social relationships through reading these meaningless and narrative-destroying dialogues?
Jury comments raise questions. The main character shows things that even a 40K expert wouldn't immediately figure out, but the jury always guesses correctly. The author stopped trying to show 40K as a movie, and you as a reader don't understand how the jury does it without hints or explanations. With each new chapter, it gets worse, and the tournament stops being a Tournament and turns into a place where only the main character's film is watched, nothing else, just his.
If the jury was always watching the film and analyzing it, then why didn't the main character's team take first place, but ended up in the 50+? Overall, reading a few chapters, you can catch a lol from what's happening, but this is not a traditional novel, even for Chinese web novels, such a work is very weak in terms of narrative and structure.
I don't recommend reading this novel to get acquainted with 40K. Here you will only read tons of online chat. The Chinese have also localized 40K in their own way, and many moments, especially in names, will be incomprehensible to beginners and may spoil the first impression of the 40K universe.
A good novel, despite the moments of boredom and superficiality, captures so much that the shortcomings are easily forgotten. The only thing that slightly spoils the impression is the limited number of chapters.
One of the best Chinese fan fiction about the Witcher, the atmosphere and the spirit of the game are more akin to the games than the books. But there are also some elements of fanon, a Chinese-made entry from their Chinese Wiki, where authors often look for inspiration and knowledge to help their stories. Unfortunately, after "Game of Thrones," the Chinese creators somehow decided that they know the Witcher better than the writer himself, and they added a kind of tournament between cats and wolves that was not even in the original. They added King of Kaedwyn, nicknamed Big Glutton who supposedly organized this tournament to kill the wolves, and only Vesemir escaped alive. And the writer refers to it, although it's a small episode mentioned in the thoughts of the protagonist, but it's exactly what it seems like.
The narrative differs significantly from original material. Despite that, it's still a good read. The ending feels rushed, like the writer lost motivation or got tired of the project, so he wanted to finish quickly, which affects the quality of story. Ideally, the writer could take a few months off, keep the initial pace and write another 100-200 more chapters. But as it stands, this is what we have.
Perhaps as a standalone novel, it could have been successful, but this is a fan fiction about the Witcher, and the author, due to a lack of knowledge of the original, sends the protagonist to a place where even birds do not defecate.
This decision renders the entire narrative of rule, conquest, battles, construction, as well as the characters and their development, devoid of any emotional resonance or intrigue.
If you, as a reader, were anticipating to witness the journey of the weeping king in the world of the Witcher, you are now presented with the author's rendition of the Mongols and their hordes, which you have only heard about through the prophecies of Itlina.
Why is the world of the Witcher here, when the story takes you to unfamiliar lands?
I understand the author's motivation to adhere to the Witcher brand, given the limited number of high-quality books in this franchise from China. However, I strongly disapprove of this approach.
I have read up to 200 chapters on another website and found it utterly tedious. I would not recommend it to anyone; it is a complete waste of time.
In general, the novel had interesting family conflicts, and I enjoyed reading it. However, there are two significant disadvantages that affected my rating.
The first issue is the excessive amount of "water" in the text, especially after about 200-300 chapters. The author often includes lengthy descriptions and digressions that are unrelated to the main plot. For example, a chapter might focus on a grandmother's conflict with the main character's house, but the narrative jumps from one internal monologue to another, followed by metaphors, examples, and unrelated stories. As a result, the chapters feel bloated and unfocused, and there are even sections where there is no dialogue or internal thoughts from the main character at all.
The second problem is the handling of the main character's interactions with politicians. After becoming wealthy, the main character starts associating with politicians, but the author doesn't integrate this into the story well. Instead, the main character often finds himself spending large sums of money on politicians without receiving significant benefits in return. For instance, he might spend almost a third of his fortune on a diploma that offers little value. The author attempts to justify these actions, but the justifications feel weak and unconvincing.
Before these issues, the main character was portrayed as smart and calculating, but when interacting with politicians, he becomes overly trusting and easily manipulated. This shift in characterization feels inconsistent and detracts from the overall story. The narrative often follows a simple pattern where the main character makes concessions and later receives some benefit, but the execution feels clumsy and overdone.
