This is the author's summary of the first 100 chapters, not included in the main plot. You can skip it if you don't want to read it.
Regarding the first 100 chapters, the most prominent issue is typos. There are frequent instances of homophones appearing in names or place names.
The main reason is that the author typed using voice input on a mobile phone, because typing on a computer is very slow, and he is busy during the day, so he can only type by voice at night.
When using voice input, the author's Mandarin pronunciation is not very standard, resulting in homophone errors.
Although the author reads every sentence, it's mostly a quick glance, so there's a high chance of some typos. If you find any, please point them out in the comments section.
Or they might check the comments periodically and correct them if they find any errors. If the author hasn't corrected it after two or three days, then the comments are likely being suppressed and the author can't see them. In this case, you can directly report the typos.
Regarding updates, the author doesn't know how to put it. The author can guarantee two updates a day, but any extra updates will depend on the situation. If inspiration strikes or the author suddenly becomes more diligent, they might write a lot more.
Then there are issues like plot and storyline. Regarding these issues, the author doesn't know what to say. The author can only say that they are just a novice.
The author hasn't written many books, so their writing style and plot are bound to be quite rusty. For example, there's a lot of unnecessary rambling, and the descriptions aren't very detailed.
I hope readers can forgive these issues, as the author's writing style isn't perfect and I'm already trying to improve.
As for the main plot itself, the author can only say that the reason this book was even created is quite far-fetched. Having read many Hokage, the author discovered that those writing about the Warring States period almost never actually unify the country.
Basically, they follow the original storyline. Even during the Warring States period, to ensure the plot doesn't change, they won't agree to unify the country. They clearly have the ability to unify, but they don't, insisting on following the original storyline.
The author can understand this, since it's difficult for other authors to change the original plot. But in the author's view, if you travel to the Warring States period and don't unify the country, you at least have a reason, right?
For example, you might lack the ability, or you might be unable to achieve unification because others would gang up on you.
At the very least, you should at least add a patch, instead of making the protagonist seem illogical and stupid, insisting on following the original plot and even trying to maintain the split state themselves.
The protagonist clearly despises war, yet he insists on maintaining a state of frequent warfare; it's almost like a conflict between his left and right brain.
The author's mockery of the Sage of Six Paths in the text is essentially an expression of dissatisfaction with these main characters.
Fueled by these dissatisfactions, the author wrote this book. However, he discovered that many authors chose to set the story in the late Warring States period.
Writing it this way would undoubtedly result in plot overlap with other authors, so the author chose the early to mid-Warring States period.
This book was born, and most importantly, the author didn't create any outline when writing it; he simply improvised the plot on the spot.
Later, the author realized he couldn't remember many details, so he started writing them all down, then checked again what the protagonist was actually doing, and that was it.
This is the author's outline. Such a rudimentary outline is bound to result in a poor work, so the author is currently doing his best to catch up on the outline and fill in all the details.
Then there's the matter of plot development. Since the author is just a university student, he doesn't know much about these aspects.
Although the author is a Paradox Interactive player, their understanding of these concepts is actually quite superficial. Therefore, the author will try to avoid the most important points and selectively avoid some logically challenging issues.
For example, regarding diplomacy and negotiation, the author is not a negotiation expert; he has simply watched a few videos and has some knowledge of history and politics.
It could be said that sometimes the negotiation scenes depicted in the writing seem rather foolish. The author doesn't have any good solutions for this; he simply tries to avoid negotiations as much as possible, unless it's unavoidable.
Then there's the issue of character development. Regarding those characters, the author didn't give the protagonist any special advantages, so this is clearly a storyline reliant on family connections.
The protagonist cannot unify the realm solely through his own strength; his individual power is insufficient. Furthermore, this is a story about the development of a faction. If the focus were solely on the protagonist without exploring the power structure, it would clearly contradict the theme.
However, once you get involved with factions, you'll inevitably have to involve the core members of those factions, namely the main officials and key combatants.
These people then delve into their personal lives and emotions, which could actually be omitted, but the author includes them because they will be used in other later developments that connect to this storyline.
For example, in these two chapters, the author is writing about Fū Uchiha's wedding and emotional issues, which is actually connecting to some later plot points.
The author doesn't seem to be very adept at handling plot length; more precisely, the level of detail is inconsistent, sometimes resulting in other characters taking up several chapters of screen time.
This is mainly because the author has to write about their lives; otherwise, the author will always feel that the logic is not smooth or uncomfortable.
After all, from the author's perspective, the protagonist is there to bring about change. If you don't write about the lives of other people, how will you know what the protagonist has changed?
The author will make slight modifications to this later, but there's not much that can be done to optimize it. After all, when you're writing about key personnel, you at least need to explain their past lives.
Then there's the description of emotions. Since the author has never been in a relationship, they are very bad at writing about emotions!
I only try to imitate the romance novels I read, so regarding the descriptions of relationships, just take a look and skip them if you don't want to.
These are the only issues the author can think of regarding this book. If there are any other questions, please feel free to raise them. The author welcomes all readers' opinions and suggestions for improvement.
The author isn't stupid; good suggestions from readers will naturally be adopted and incorporated. However, the author hopes readers won't be aggressive or use overly offensive language. The author is very sensitive! ꒦ິ^꒦ິ
If you provide feedback, the author will revise it. If you point out any logical inconsistencies, the author will explain them and then revise it again.
However, the author would like to clarify that if you directly insult the author, the author will not accept it. The author and readers are equals; we can exchange opinions and share our thoughts.
However, if you directly insult the author, or even resort to personal attacks, or make sarcastic or insinuating remarks, the author will absolutely not accept it!
Unless the book promotes problematic values, similar to the kind of sensationalism found in adult films, or incites arguments or personal attacks, then it's problematic, and the author deserves the criticism.
As long as the book's core values are sound, I won't criticize it no matter how awful the plot or its underlying message is.
So, dear readers, if you find this book unpleasant, or if there's anything you'd like to read that doesn't meet your expectations or offer new ideas, please feel free to tell the author if you still have hope. If you've given up hope and think it's a bad book, please just leave and don't leave any malicious comments.
If you truly feel the story is utterly terrible and want an apology from the author, then the author can simply apologize; there's no need for insults.
If you want to give it two stars, all you need to do is leave a comment in the book review section saying "I didn't like it," or you can point out more specifically where the problems are, what you think are the problems, and then leave two stars and one star.
That's all for now. Finally, the author thanks all the readers who sent gifts for their support. If you like this book, please give the author a five-star review!
