The Mechanical Era

I have to drop a review here since I replied in a different review, which might not be read unless readers open that other review's threads. Take note of the "anti-hero" tag. As I replied in another review, I am unsure if anti-hero meant to intentionally act against common "hero" tropes, or a type of villain that does what he does to survive, even at the cost of being hated. i mention this because of other reviews complaining about the MC, "being made into a puppet", "uncaring of family", being cold-hearted, stupid or foolish. My retrospect of this is that I noticed that the side-characters and world background is written to be more cunning/intelligent/motivated, much more than the supposed MC -- now why are the other characters written in such a way, that clearly shows the author has the ability to also make the MC act "more intelligent/less dumb"... as if it was done one purpose, as if the MC is being forced to a lower importance of the story than the rest of the world... It seemed suspicious to me at least, in fact it kind of weaves an "anti-plot-armor" vibe; combine this with the "slice-of-life" tag, that hints to readers that this will be a SLOW-going storybuilding, makes me anticipate what this author is trying to cook up -- this is NOT a story where the reader is spoon-fed convenient plot devices, where everything always goes in MC's favor -- I admit that it is obvious that the MC is foolishly flaunting his advantages (inventions and tech, that gets stolen or manipulated from him), but it is delivered in such an obvious way, suspiciously obvious... TL:DR - the author writes the background world and characters, in a very rich and intelligent way, showing that the author is capable of making really good story-development. Then why is the MC so "dumb"? Is it on purpose? Food for thought.

somebody pls do a spoiler for me. l stopped the moment he accepted to become their puppet, pls fill me in

lovely story, keep going. Im sure it will get more popular as time goes on. The world and setting is realistic, the tec is accurate, and the speed is very accurate. I love it! Cant wait for more! I've been dreaming of a story like this for ages!

The story was promising but then got ruined. There is nothing new. He keeps 'inventing' stuff and shows it off to everyone. Then proceeds to get threatened by others to submit to them, which he happily does—pretty much a spineless protagonist. The only ones who truly loved him were his parents. In the beginning, we are told that he loves his parents so much and that he is happy for their supposed trust in him. He later abandons them coldly and cooperates with his father's killers. The author can't decide on his personality. I honestly hate the protagonist very much and can not continue reading this book. Loved the idea, though. Too bad.

Started out pretty good, with just a few questionable choices by the MC, then in less than 10 chapters everything completely derailed. MC suddenly did not care about his family, and became a puppet state with a smile on his face. At least give up his thoughts and why he did it. Anyway, dropped.

After 40 chapter I can write this is a decent book, but there are several holes in the story that go unaddressed, it’s historically inaccurate, and requires the reader to make huge leaps of faith. I know the engineer in a medieval word is hot topic, but this story tends to the fantastical more than realism.

five star is the limit, five star is the 👌

ohhh on more Kingdom building novel .i support you author and hope we will finish this journey .😀

It have everything that I like in a lord novel but ruined by being a puppet of some organization. Idk what would happen on the future but the puppet thing already threw me off.

Great writing quality, not many grammar mistake, constant and fast update. Although Im bit confused with how people around him never questioned where he gain his knowledge particularly his aide that do everything that MC said never questioning how he gain his knowledge. Im also bit annoyed with how author always describe characters faces and clothes with too much detail like what pattern, how many buttons there, etc. With so much characters there including minor characters it became annoying. But overall its decent novel
