Today I would like to recommend to you a 549 million-word Warhammer novel that is currently being serialized.

"Warhammer Throne", Emperor of the Han Dynasty, Level 5 author.

Category: Fantasy-Epic Fantasy.

【Introduction】

A dark age, an age of blood and fire.

The game of the gods continues, but they don't know that they themselves are about to enter the chessboard.

In the wild land, a green evil tide swept across the four directions.

In the darkness, the undead left their graves and waged war on the living.

The new emperor of the human empire must prove that he is capable of resisting foreign enemies.

In the void, chaos corrupts everything, and only the strongest can survive.

Finally, a terrible storm marked the beginning of the destruction of the world.

But there is still a glimmer of hope, a soul comes here with an opportunity for change.

He is ready.

【Golden Five Chapters】

Chapter One: A Winter Night in Wulan Town. The winter night in Wulan Town was as cold as ever. The protagonist, Llane, had chased the demon hunter here. The demon hunter had been released into the city three days prior, and by now, it was difficult to track him down. He checked into an inn within the town and heard a bard singing the epic poem of the Empire. He was Llane the Hammer, the hero of the Nord Kingdom.

Chapter 2, Past and Present. The protagonist once again learns from the Archbishop what the demon hunter he's pursuing has done, as he's incredibly powerful. He's actually a time traveler, having grown up through many trials and tribulations, and has a good relationship with the Church of Justice. Only after he reveals his Silver Knight badge does the innkeeper begin to reveal the man's information.

Chapter 3: Following the Trail. The protagonist leaves the inn, reveals his true identity, and gains respect from many people. He successfully finds the Church of Life. This is a low-level church, where priests can only perform simple aura sensing and sell divine scrolls.

Chapter 4: Preparations before departure. The protagonist maintains his weapons and armor at the blacksmith's shop, teaching the blacksmith's son the basics of imperial swordsmanship. He does not conceal his identity. Returning to the tavern, he is approached by a merchant seeking protection, but is rejected. This is despite the merchant being aware of his identity.

Chapter 5: The Terrifying Forest. The protagonist enters the forest, where the enemy he's pursuing resides, having killed a veteran demon hunter. He falls into a trap and, through sheer force, escapes. Meanwhile, the imperial merchant encounters a patrolling paladin on the outskirts, but is rebuffed in his attempt to join forces. Given their long-standing antagonism, this outcome is perfectly acceptable. However, upon entering the forest, the merchant is immediately attacked by beastmen.

【Brief Comment】

The author also wrote "Poems of Nogizaka" with 136 million words, which seems to have been sealed, but fortunately the performance is not very good.

He started anew, raising his writer rank to Level 5 with the Warhammer fanfiction "Warhammer Throne." The book launched on April 1, 2018, with an initial order of 380, a low figure for a true newbie. It reached premium status on September 27, 2019, a grueling 17 months of hard work.

Yesterday I wrote about Old Devil Boy. I wrote twelve books in four years, but discontinued ten of them.

The contrast is enough to show how determined the author of this book, the Emperor of the Han Dynasty, was.

This book is a Warhammer fan fiction. A reader left me a message hoping to introduce novels of this type.

To be honest, I've read a lot of fan fiction, and there are always people who can discover wonderful content from these niche themes.

The last time I introduced the Mount and Blade novel, it was also an example.

Warhammer, also known as Warhammer: Age of Sigmar, is a game set in the same universe created by the British gaming company Games Workshop. Many games are based on it, the most famous of which are the Warhammer Fantasy Battles board game and the Warhammer Fantasy Roleplaying Game tabletop role-playing game. There's also a related game set in a science fiction setting, Warhammer 40000. In July 2015, Games Workshop officially announced the end of Warhammer: Age of Sigmar, replacing it with Warhammer: Age of Sigmar. (From Baidu Encyclopedia)

Therefore, people who have never played this type of game might find it a bit overwhelming, just like people who have never played World of Warcraft might not feel as immersed in it when reading Warcraft fan fiction.

According to the author's disclaimer, the setting of this book is based on Warhammer, but with some significant changes. It's only because the protagonist's weapon is a warhammer that the title is closer to Medieval Warhammer.

Similarly, the protagonist of this book, nicknamed Big Hammer Ryan, is quite approachable. He resembles Tang San's Clear Sky Hammer, and also the mysterious Klein. A single name can evoke so many associations, demonstrating the author's considerable consideration when conceiving the concept.

As for the opening, I personally think it's even more exciting than Lord of Mysteries. The plot is clear, the characters are distinct, and there's no need for fuss. It's just chasing people with a hammer, simple and straightforward.

But the entire setting and background are still very detailed, and it is convenient to have the support of Warhammer.

What I admire most is that this book has currently written 519 million words, with 12 collections on Qidian, 1.8 collections on the bookstore, 27 fans, 16 alliance leaders, and 1 silver alliance member.

This book is even the best-performing Warhammer novel on Qidian. Other similar novels include Warhammer Throne, Warhammer Wizard, Warhammer Afterlife, and I'm a Professional Warhammer Player. If you like, you can also check it out.
