Tyranny of Steel

Despite the many flaws of this novel; the constant xenophobia, the racism and the *nc*st this still managed to be one of the better written novels on the site, IF you manage to look past it. To a fellow reader looking to pick this up I would absolutely recommend it if you want a kingdom building power fantasy novel. If thats not your cup of tea and you think this will change your opinion... it probably wont... it might even make it worse.Also ignoring the morality the relationships are very well written so props to the author for that.

If racism and xenophobia have a child, it would be this novel xD

After 1 week of reading, I've finally finished it. Here's my review for it. The story was very good. It was focus on Kingdom Building. There is sm*t which was the only thing that make me lower my rating for this. But. I'm not lying when I say this, the relationship, interactions between Berengar and his harem was the thing that kept me reading into this. The story was great but it will get boring after 500 chapters without some interesting stuff. The writing style was also great but what also lower my rating for this was the Author putting minor spoilers in the last paragraph of chapters but not ganna lie, it didn't bother me much. Also, there is some inc*st here so be aware of that if your going to read (but not a heavy one, just between cousins like in the old Europe). Definitely recommended if you want some heavily focused Kingdom Building.

4/5 - Recommended

3.8 ratings is underserved.
It's underated

(2) About the "Race of Warriors" thing, I assume that's either the author applying "power corrupts" once more OR referring to the original Germans (before the world wars) being somewhat of a mix between the germanic tribes, which made some living hell for the Romans, and the Norse, both of which had that Warrior culture thing going on. In that case it would be a cultural thing, which is completely fine and unproblematic.
Another thing, at the end the Zulu Empire (African) got one of Berengars b*st*rds (w/that goddess) on the throne, so they should be part of the great alliance too. Along with a Granada (Muslim-Arabic), Japan (Asian), The one Indian country...
I don't see your Racism here dude...
Yes, the German Empire is more advanced and keeping them as vassals, but those vassals all have the same tech standards. And the Nordic Kingdoms, which are demographically basically the same as the Germans are Vassals too, so treated the same. That would be "equal treatment" on countries

(1)Okay so first of all - the author did actually make this novel based on "power corrupts". That can be seen multiple times throughout this, and the dude confirmed it himself in the discord.
The MC's decisions for the colonies, while not "morally right" from a 21st century perspective, firstly, are logical to this world. A King in that time cannot act super kind to people outside his kingdom, as he will be seen as weak by others then, also, the people of his kingdom would see it as unfair (which it is) because in these circumstances you would have to sustain these people in some sorts education camp for years while feeding them on taxpayer money. Second, we see in today's world just how well all these "nice" countries work. Not at all, that is. With the way people are complaining in this comment section, they don't know sh*t about statecraft, and I don't blame them for that, that's some niche knowledge, but you could at least understand that the only real law is "the strongest wins".

That's what i am trying to say ty.

Probably is because of the "sister" thing that the MC did

"Tyrrany of Steel" is a thought-provoking novel that delves into the complex interplay between technology, humanity, and power. Set in a dystopian future, the story weaves a tapestry of a world where advanced robotics have taken over, blurring the line between man and machine.
