Écrire un avisHello, how are you guys, I am the author leaving a message that you should read before starting the reading of the novel. I was able to read a lot of comments and reviews in which it is mentioned that the story progresses slowly. I want you to know that the first part of the story comprises from episodes 1 to 205. It is the basis of the novel because it was the moment where the characters and the world around them were developed. This was done intentionally because in the next volumes of the novel the story will develop with more speed. I hope you can understand this before you start reading the novel, but if you wonder after episode 205 the time span between episode and episode will only increase. Of course, there will be no radical time jumps that can cause plot holes or discomfort on your part. As for the secondary story that is told, it is very important because it is the course of the world that is changing just by changing some things. From the civil war in the Frankish Empire to changes in the Byzantine Empire, all history will change.
First off I must say that the concept of the story hooked me in since I'm interested in viking culture and there isn't another novel that follows this concept that I know of. So I went into this hoping for a great novel, however the early execution of the story and character development was sub par at best which ended with me dropping the novel. My main gripes being that the author doesn't expand on why the MC has the following points or his reaction to his sudden reincarnation in the beginning of the story: 1) Knowledge of Latin at a proficient level(Latin being dead language) of which I'm certain that a 'supposed' military member of the Mexican army would not know. 2) Expert knowledge on medical practises and research (he mentions that he will 'explain' many diseases and their 'processes' to a random woman proclaiming herself to be a 'doctor' 3) His reaction to his daughter's death after being reincarnated was unrealistic to say the least. How he just shrugs off her death and soldiers on to having a full on dialogue in latin with a random woman is just baffling to me and removes a sense of realism that ought to be there. 4) Author doesn't show much of why the MC has any of the knowledge I stated above. He is only shown to have ties with the mexican army, we don't know his profession or why he was travelling to Athens with his daughter in the first place. Overall just a disappointing opening to the story and the MC in general. Many points are left unexplained and the reader is just meant to go with the flow. The MC has a weird motivation to want to continue living to and old age and conquer territory since it relates to him blaming God and religion for the deaths of his wife and daughter. The author never wrote about the MC being religious before he died as that would make more sense behind this motivation. The grammer is around average for this site but has much to be desired, an editor or spell checking would work wonders for the story. Hopefully the author can take this criticism and work on it towards future chapters and books.
Spoiler de révélationI want to see Vikings conquering the world. Obviously using science from modern world. Not ignorance and stakes. Awe science! Death to cannibal pedophiles.
He made the novel premium promising to make it better ... Its not ... The translation is still bad and shows no signs of improvement ... He also slowed down the story speed so that he can milk this for everything its worth.
He should change the name to the sage of cooking because thats seems to be the main topic of this novel atleast in the first 70 chapter that is. There is too much in this novel that doesnt matter ... Im fine with side stories but every chapter feels like one
The translation is passable but the author has never mad an effort to fix the mistakes. The biggest issue is the story development, all the MC does is talk about what he wants to do but 90% of it never gets done or cant be done yet. So why keep talking about it every chapter.
I'm enjoying it but my biggest complaint is that the story keeps mentioning and talking about thing that will never actually happen. Such as riding polar bears in a thousand years through selective breeding. Sure its possible but we will never read about it because its too far so why write about it. Anther one is him thinking of going to Asia when he cant even get to Greenland from Iceland. At some point its just the author trying to fill up space. I enjoy the character design but the reason it isn't a 5 star is because for some reason this man knows things he really just shouldn't. The author just says that he did some experiment with his daughter or father which is unrealistic and the author has used this excuse a LOT.
Spoiler de révélationThis is freaking good. This is the story on Earth and you guess what. It does really dangerous thing though. Come on guys. Author has balls to not hide crimes of Christanity or talk about raising foxes for fur. People got really ****ed up because of peace. Even if human ability to communicate across the world improved to another level. Freedom of speech moved only little forward from medieval times. You can talk whatever you want but... It cannot be offensive. When you combine this with generation of snowflakes... It always offends someone. It's simillar to people that attack novels with rape. It's real... It happens. Hiding its existence makes things worse... We humans are ****ed up species for sure. Good luck author. Don't take snowflakes attacks to heart!
BAD VERY BAD. The Author might as well make his dead daughter the MC because she is the only one with the ideas it seems. Youd think after translating 200 chapters for PREMIUM use the translation would get better but instead it seems a little worse
pretty good overall. but it really needs an editor. there are spelling mistakes and mistakes in what word is written often enough that it really affects your ability to enjoy the story. if you can get past it, then it's a worthwhile read.
The story starts off talking about how they need to wait for traders to get things going. This was within the first 5 chapters. 170 chapters later and we still haven't seen the traders. If you don't know what this entails then ill tell you. The author is dragging on the story for coins.

Spoiler de révélationi can't talk about writing quality since i'm not good with that myself since some chaps are locked i won't talk about stability story: mc has too clear memory of things, most people will have at most hazy memory of things they've did in the past if they didn't repeat that thing memories much. Mc also for some fuckin reson just jumps into bed of women, stress can make someone less rational but for **** sake mc is going for sage look but he doesn't care about stds characters are lifelike world background aside from being a little unrealistic it's okay
Spoiler de révélationIt was good at first and promised a lot like other kingdom building novels but the main character failed to reach that objective a vast majority of them.
Generally enjoyed the first few chapters but then it went downhill after but was bearable till he killed Kassia of for no other reason but to further the plot.
Spoiler de révélationIll give 5/5 since its a kingdom builder. Now for the actual review .... First off even though ima complain mostly its because its good enough to complain about and I like the story. Anyways my biggest issue with the story is the pacing and YES I know the first 200 or so chapters is set-up so I wont mention them. But after Volume 1 its supposed to pick up, and maybe it does a little bit but the writing style makes it seem like it doesn't. ---Basically as a reader who is caught up, I have to wait 1 day for 1 chapter, and that isn't bad as that release rate is quite good. But the content in those chapters are not worth the day wait, so instead you feel disappointed when you look and buy a chapter that is about cutting hair ... thats it that was the ENTIRE chapter! In a kingdom builder that can easily span 1000s of chapters these small things like getting a haircut or finding bones of a dino should be small parts of the overall chapter. ----- What I'm saying is if I stopped reading for a year and came back I wouldn't have a problem because I could skip those chapters or read them and not feel scammed by it because there are hundreds of chapters to binge read. But that isn't the case, Instead I look forward to a chapter to release and it turns out to be a character who doesn't matter getting their haircut and their feelings about it. ----- Anyways your book do what you want ill probably still read it even if I feel disappointed because kingdom builders that are readable are RARE.

"The Sage of Einar" is an exciting story similar to Diana Gabaldon's "Outlander", with a touch of Nordic and Viking history. Personally, I'm a sucker for stories with vikings in them. I could count the number of Eric, son of Eric's I have read about in dozens of novels. So, this one definitely caught my eyes. Alas, because I hold so much expectations for this, I too will give an appropriate review. Points to work on: -Grammar: It's definitely better than most of the webnovels I've read, but I know you can do better with your proofreading. Make it more readable, and I might just be an avid fan. -Dialogue: Now this is a tough issue. Frankly, the characters don't seem real, especially when you read through their dialogues. I may not be privy to it, but is there a modern country where a father calls his daughter, "Daughter"? This is one of the biggest issues I've seen, and it's important to improve on this because having a culture-rich story like this requires believable character interactions. If the conversations are as dry and constructed as the ones I have seen, then more should really be done about it. Points I really liked: -Story: The plot is fast-paced and interesting. I would have been easily sucked into it if there were less problems with the grammar and dialogue. -Feelings: I loved how their interactions were human-like (sadly, their dialogue was weirdly off...). Max was crazy scared when he was looking for his daughter. The daughter was hinted to be jealous about his father treating Ana well (and not her deceased mother!). It's cute, and these little things matter to me as a reader. -Representation: Greece, Japanese, Nordic, American(?). I loved the slight references to many nations and cultures. Andddd that's about it! I might have been carried away too much, but there's my honest review. This novel holds great promise, and appeals to a certain target market (me), but sadly still suffers from general writing. Author, improve more on the technicalities, and I might turn out to be a fan. :D
