The Omnissiah protects

Bear Knights of Kislev approve of this notion

We don't even know how long the MC has been in the Mexican army, nor his rank, role and opinion of the army. For all we know he could have just been a low ranking officer that has been in the army for less than 5 years. Even if he were some grizzled veteran that has gone through multiple wars, he wouldn't have accepted the situation and just played along immediately after losing his only daughter in the plane accident. That's one of the main issues imo, the MC just shrugs off his daughter's death and takes an immediate 180 in personality compared to before he died.

Yeah I suppose that would give at least some explanation but, the author hasn't stated anything about his level of education nor which field he has 'expertise' in. Can't justify this reasoning if it's just speculation. I wouldn't have had any issue with this if the author just added more to the MC's backstory and history which would explain so much, instead we got barely any info in the first few chapters besides him being in the Mexican army(note that we don't know his rank nor role in the army so we even have issues with this too).

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.

Well that was quick again, it only took 3 chapters for him to decide that he will protect the tribe of 1500 people that he has never met,and already includes himself in the tribe since Max says "our people". His mentality is accepting this whole situation way too fast.

Good luck trying to find natural saltpeter in Iceland since it mostly forms naturally in warm climates. Only chance would be in caves and manual creation of saltpeter would not work since it would affected by the cold temperatures during the forming process. I suppose plot armour is gonna be the answer to finding/making saltpeter.

That was super quick. From mourning his dead daughter to having curiosity over what the women is writing, it doesn't really portray his loss very well. Taking it like a champ and moving on is not a valid reason here.

What was his profession before he reincarnated that would give him the knowledge of such diseases and other medical practices? You portray him as a special forces member or army personnel but even they don't have specialist knowledge related to medical research.

Thanks for the chapter, I'm looking forward to the next one.
