My Mother Told Me

Hello, ladies and gentlemen! I came across the author's work when he was still writing a book called the commonwealth and only after the commonwealth began to read this book. To bring up to date those who have not yet read or are planning to read. For such people, I write all this, I tried to highlight different aspects of the book, so that it is clear to you and it is easier for you to decide whether to read it or not. By the way, this is written after reading all the available 127 chapters. and yes, forgive me for my terrible English, as my teacher used to say, what are you doing here with such street English? 1. The Main Character. What I like is that as a person living for the second time (and for this book, living for the fourth time) He behaves exactly like a human being. Not like a robot, a hero, a CHOSEN ONE, and so on. What do I mean by that? In the first life, he died as an *****, and after rebirth, he no longer behaves like a child. In his head, he is already a formed person, and when they try to bring him up as a child, where they teach him all sorts of virtues, it does not affect him. In his second life, he became a ruler, and after living in the skin of a ruler, it is clear that he cannot be a farmer. His memory was not erased, he remembers his past life and, accordingly, his personality changes minimally. You can't expect a man who has ruled for so long to become an ordinary citizen. So, all the cruelty and inhumanity of the main character is explained. He's not bad because he's bad. He thinks and acts like a ruler, and for his own purposes he can kill innocent people and even children. For him, they are not people, but a resource, like metal, stone, and so on. He is also not a believer, although he has personally seen God. He can do anything to achieve his goals, he does not care about race, faith, morality, and so on. But as a ruler, he knows how to behave in public, so he is like a modern politician (a hypocrite) who was sent to the time of the Vikings). Those who have read the Commonwealth will understand the main character. For we have seen him transform into what he is now. But for beginners, it can seem that the author is a racist-fascist-Decepticon and generally an a*shole. I can only advise such people to read the Commonwealth. 2. History and facts. The book describes the facts from both the series and the story. The main character is not limited to only the events from the series, but also with a real story. So this is not just a copy-paste of the series, the author's content in the book is enough. 3. Characters. Many characters, both from the series and created by the author. A lot of attention is not paid to them, but the minimum familiarization with them is still present. No surreal characters, they don't act like morons, or weird for the 8th century. Although, stoned mushroom characters and drug trip here is clearly not enough)(I mean the Vikings, with their hallucinogenic mushrooms.) 4. Construction of the city and the army. Thinking here is not necessary, something to tell, and so it is clear to everyone. Although it could have been better if the author had paid enough attention to them. 5. Mysticism. The main character lives in a world where mysticism really exists. Much has been written about this in the opening chapters, but it is rarely mentioned in the middle and beyond. So there are all sorts of vengeful spirits, house-spirits, and so on. Also, the main character has gifts from the Slavic gods. 6. War. Many wars, battles, from internal to the conquest of external enemies. Everything is described more or less well, there are no anime gods-battles, although the main character tried to be one and almost died). There are not enough details and descriptions of the preparation for war, the training of soldiers, the creation of weapons, the provision of food for soldiers, and the consequences of the war itself. Of course, for the Vikings, the consequence is not enough, which means they don't care about it. The main thing is to die in a glorious battle and go feast in the halls of Odin. But from the point of view of the rulers, this should be taken into account, but again, the book almost does not pay attention to this. That's all I could think of, I might have missed a few things, but I think that's enough. Personally, I liked the book, I can not say that it is a masterpiece, but it is quite a good book. It is also worth mentioning the author, he is a person who knows what author's pride is. It may sound far-fetched, but after 2 months of active reading in Webnovel, this is one of the few authors who knows their stuff. He is not a beggar who wants stones, a patrion, and other nonsense. The author does not change or delete the already written chapter, if this chapter did not like the readers who wanted to see Naruto here and not the harsh reality. It does not describe the plot and what the main character, or any other character in the afterwords, actually meant. Everything is written in the chapter itself, so thank God there are no such comments from the author: Guys, the main character did not mean this, he is good, I will explain everything later somehow, do not stop reading and please give me some stones. First of all, he doesn't care about the readers ' opinions, not in a bad way. And if you take into account the users of Webnovel, I would even say this is a mandatory measure. Because here basically, everyone wants anime and other nonsense, I witnessed how readers cornered the author, offering more and more nonsense and he just didn't know how to deal with it further and gave up writing. This is a rare trait for Webnovel, so I can only nod to the author for it. Also, the author does not require any stones and money on the patrion. Everything is free, so I can't demand anything from the author, or complain about something. Everything is free, do you want to read it? Read this! if you don't want to read, then go, no one is forcing you. Good qualities for the author, he does not behave arrogantly, humiliating the reader (The most unpleasant types, consider themselves the navel of the earth) Or like an offended teenager who puts a dislike, then turns to his readers-a schoolboy, so that they put you a dislike. (Although, these are even funny in their own way.) So everything was decided with the author, so the last point is the shortcomings of the book. It's a fast-paced narrative and very little detail. Of course, I don't mean Chinese details, where thousands of characters describe how delicious Chinese rice is. But the book is really very lacking in detail, the author runs from one point to another in a couple of lines. Some things are generally only mentioned in the dialogues, there is not even a minimal mention of it. But, as I have already written above, I have no right to demand something from the author, take it as my personal preference. I think I said everything, although I could have written it shorter, but I had nothing to do and it turned out what it turned out.

keep it author 👌👊🙏.......................................................................................................................................................................................................
