I dropped this out of principle. Roughly around the 9th chapter a bit of millitary startegy was discussed and it is utterly moronic. I understand wanting to write a competent MC (I enjoyed it personally), I understand understand wanting to write about millitary. However, if you want to write a good story with these 2 elements in it, then you need to know at least the minimum level of millitary strategy. DO NOT FUCCKING STATION TROOPS IN FRONT OF THE FORTRESS WALL!!!!!!!!!!!
On a more serious note. 2 panels, I'll list the mistakes:
1: The fortress is not built on a hill/mountain or besides a river. Those locations are much more defensible.
2: You do know which direction the enemy will attack from. They will come straight towards you. (Stay with me here, because I am going to explain basicly siege warfare here.) The reason they will come straight for you is to get to you as fast as possible, to start the siege as fast as possible. Then, since you are in a fortress that cannot move, they will encircle you. This will cut you off from reinforcements and supplies. Even during the encirclement, they may already start their attacks. Which should consist of bombardment or infantry rushes with ladders. They may also use siege equipment such as towers, to climb the walls, or battering rams, if there is no moat. They will keep up these attacks until you surrender, they overwhelm you or your reinforcements manage to repell them/scare them away.
3: You do not, I'll say it again, you do NOT station troops in front of the fortress. They can defend from within. They can use spears, swords, arrows or even sticks to fight the ones climbing up ladders or ones, who have managed to get up onto the walls.
4: Medieval fortresses needed an attack force 5 to 10 times as large as the defenders. This was, despite there being cannons, mortars, etc, which could inflict damage on walls. (Now I'll say that wall structure evolved in medieval europe. At first they did start off as tall, but thin walls, but as cannons became more widespread and more powerful, walls were made to be smaller, but thicker, often reinforced with earth, as that absorbs shocks better than stone. However given the setting, small, thick walls should be the norm in this world. With mages around, who could possibly inflic major damage, they would be the equivalents of cannons.)
Right after the 2 panels, where these 4 mistakes were made, I stopped, as these are so fundemental and easy to understand concepts, imo, that it's simply inexcusable to get them wrong. Otherwise I enjoyed and if you can look ast these issues, I recommend it, but I can't.
