Steel, Guns, and the Industrial Party in Another World

The dogwater quality of most novels you read has decimated your standards in novels

The narrative isn't necessarily bad, but the issue lies in its simplicity. The story feels like a basic civilization game, where the protagonist, upon arriving in the new world, instantly commands the creation of gunpowder weapons without delving into the sourcing of resources, finances, or the intricacies involved. The process of turning a musket from an idea into reality is glossed over, making it seem too easy.

The same applies to cannon production; it's a linear progression of "make gunpowder" -> "acquired", "make cannons" -> "acquired", and so on. There's no development of a realistic industrial infrastructure, no sense of time and effort required to achieve each milestone, no character skill-building, or consideration for financial planning.

In essence, I hesitate to classify this as a true kingdom-building novel and would rather describe it as a straightforward "acquire technology" simulation.

While there are occasional minor issues, I find the pacing of the novel quite appealing when compared to similar Chinese works in its genre. The overall setting is well-established, and尽管它借鉴了常见的中世纪奇幻元素，如教会、魔法和非人类角色，但作者并未生硬地植入或过分直白处理，保持了一定的自然度。

In terms of technology, although the details are not extensively explored, there's a sense of realism that keeps the story engaging without becoming a tedious information overload. I could elaborate further, but for now, this summarizes my thoughts.

Exciting and fun book love it
