The Hungry Fortress Wants to Build a Battleship in Another World – World of Sandbox

Description

Links are NOT allowed. Format your description nicely so people can easily read them. Please use proper spacing and paragraphs.

When I came to, I had reincarnated along with the base fortress from my sci-fi game. What’s more, I was in the form of the female avatar I used in the game.

All around me was an endless ocean, with no iron, no fuel, no energy, nothing at all! No matter how advanced sci-fi technology is, without resources, nothing can be made.

Despite this, the natives use some sort of incomprehensible technology called magic, and there’s not a trace of science to be found.

Most importantly, I want to eat proper meals for nourishment, not just survive on IV drips!

This is the story of a TS girl surviving in a fantasy world together with a super-advanced but spoiled AI administrator.

This story is full of things that amaze me, all this time because I was exposed to boring isekai stories and stereotypes like this have become attached from year to year, so that it makes me not even bother to see the existence of isekai-isekai on the market. Even so, I still read it in my free time and saw this title because I'm a genben lover.

The cover and title are very unconvincing, seeing as what I mentioned above, because there was nothing else to read, I decided to read... more>> this and... boom I didn't expect this to be hidden gems

The story that is told is brilliant for combining fantasy and sci fi simultaneously, without reducing each other's portions and not dominating each other so that each one has its own strengths and weaknesses without distorting the genre.

how the author processes existing logic and looks very intelligent in determining the plot he presents, without feeling 's*upid' in his explanation, in fact I felt dizzy when the author explained many things about science according to the criteria in the story which shows how competent the author is

then regarding the characters, there are no tr*shy isekai stereotypes, where s*upid characters do naive things to disturb the story, moreover the npcs here are very competent in seeing what is good and bad after seeing the horror of the mc's power without feeling arrogant or s*upid like that we see in other tr*sh isekai.

The author skill in showing the military, science and fantasy genres beautifully which amazed me, I realized that hidden gems like this are worthy of appreciation. <<less

I love the story but I can't stand the AI translation. I don't know how much we're missing out because this dude decided to say "f*ck it" and use ChatGPT.

... more>>
Spoiler

Speaking of which, the next vessel planned for construction after the oil tanker was a gas carrier.

Certainly! Here's the translation of the last section of chapter 101 with the specified names and female pronouns for Ringo:

In reality, it would have been better to build a cluster of plants around the Oil Port to minimize losses. However, further development might attract too much attention, so we are holding back for now.

[collapse]

He can't even proofread his own stuff, kinda making me wonder why's he doing this at all if not for the love of it.

I'll give it the stars I think it rightfully deserves but I can't write a proper review if the "translation" isn't reliable at all.

To show it's unreliability, from one chapter to another, a country's name can change from Alphasia to Alpazhia to Alfacia, like wtf dude.

I hope someone can take this over and do a better and more honest job. I'm not even asking for something 100% clean but something actually translated, not just MTL'd. <<less

"If Factorio were a book"

Basically. She lands on an alien planet, builds some stuff, acquires resources, builds MORE stuff to acquire MORE resources but different, antagonizes the locals, builds bigger guns to antagonize the locals better, invades a friendly nation for oil (murica Fk yeah style), ticks off some big alien monsters, kills the monsters, ticks off BIGGER alien monsters... Etcetera

If a litrpg is like playing final fantasy but a book instead - this is a litrts, with engineering resource and automation aspects - so. Factorio.

People like litrpgs because they're... more>> RPG players and RPG players like stats go up. People like this because they are factorio addicts and factorio addicts like "base must grow" - the base does, in fact, grow, It's gorgeous I love it

In all, this book inspired me to start a seablock run of factorio - so it ruined my entire life pretty much. 10/10 would waste 3000 hours of my life gathering digital kelp sludge again <<less

its good. Entirely worth reading and it releases frequently. I had to switch to an aggregator though because they did something weird to their site (probably to protect themselves against aggregators ironically) and now edge's read aloud does not work for it at all. It just gives you nonsense. I wish whatever they did that they would turn it off, I actually like their site and would like to be able to use it again.

Too much time is spent with MC moaning about not having iron ore. This is supposed to be based on some rts or factory game? (honestly don't agree with the later.. there's nothing about automation at all?) And they have zero early game technology for gathering such a basic resource? Even if you argue that the game was balanced around play on land it seems like a pretty big omission when there are navel units? There's spaceships in the techtree but they can't have an unmanned sub explore the ocean floor? What? Is there nothing but unimaginably deep trenches around the reefs their tower is on?

I get that the author probably wanted to pace the story slower, but it could have been done differently. Focus on other bottlenecks rather than iron. Speaking of which I think it's a little silly that they are using munitions and selling steel blades when they can barely gather enough iron ore to reinforce their ships? Does the author think that steel is a different element than iron when it's simply an alloy?

[collapse]

I've not played factorio itself but I've played other factory/automation games... once again dunno how this story ticks any of those boxes when there is no actual talk about automation. Resource management is all hand waved away in the background and most of said resources are in the form of a stockpile or recycled materials. They hardly gather anything new.

The MC rarely does anything interesting and ends up being a mascot of sorts. <<less

The premise of this webnovel is intriguing—a sci-fi gamer, now in the body of her beastkin girl character, Eve, navigating a magical fantasy world with her base and AI companion, Ringo. The concept has potential, blending genres in a way that could make for a fresh and engaging story. However, the execution leaves much to be desired.

The author often fails to provide meaningful details that could allow readers to anticipate or engage with future developments. Instead, the plot progression feels abrupt, jumping from one resolved situation to the next without... more>> much depth or buildup. What fills the gaps is a surplus of "science hubbub, " a mix of nonsensical jargon that anyone with even a basic understanding of science will find grating. It’s filler at best and immersion-breaking at worst.

Naming conventions are another weak point. The use of poorly translated German numbers as names is unintentionally hilarious and frustrating, especially for readers familiar with the language. The names are not only incorrectly written but inconsistent, sometimes changing from chapter to chapter. It’s unclear whether this stems from the author or the translator, but it’s a recurring issue.

The translation itself is hit or miss. The translator uses ChatGPT, which can be a valid approach, but the lack of proofreading is glaring. Some chapters have leftover AI replies, duplicate sections, or inconsistent translations, making the reading experience uneven.

That said, there are positives. The character interactions are enjoyable, with shifts in perspective that provide insight into Eve, Ringo, and the side characters. These moments of character-driven storytelling shine and are the primary reason I keep reading, albeit skimming through the technical fluff. <<less

A rather dry story that goes over the procedural steps the MC takes to re-establish her planet side base after being isekaied. Due to her isolated location there is not much in the way of character interactions and with most of the narrative focusing on what next steps are take to expand. Though this looks to change in the future as the MC expands.

The author doesn't provide much in the way of details which readers could extrapolate future progress from, just more of a "we're going in this direction. We... more>> arrived. We're not going in that direction." This at least prevents making errors in the details but so far it's very much an "and then" written story.

Overall: 3/5 (v2c56)

The characters aren't very engaging and it's a slow, dry, "and then" written story. There are some interesting ideas but it's not the type of story that will grab most people.

Update: (v7c243)

I found parts of the story where the MC is dealing with the different kingdoms as she gains a larger operational force to be interesting. This allows for some more characterization and world building. There are also some battles with large magical monsters as well. Its improved, but not enough for me to bump it up to a 4. Still a 3/5 <<less

Story wise it's actually quite good... if only the translation is not ai... like few time nation changing name (and even government type because of translation, from republic to kingdom.. the ai translation couldn't decide) making the reading really confusing

A refreshing isekai with no s*upid cliches (as of yet, anyway).

As another review mentioned, it has a vibe similar to Factorio, the factory must grow and all of that.

Spoiler

including the critical lack of iron at the beginning, god I felt that in my soul

[collapse]

The main character is a fun and refreshing one, intellegent and knowlegeble, yet not omniscient, not physically overpowered (as far as i've read, at least), and as reclusive as any of us would be in that kind of situation, as well as being, to my undersranding, a genetically perfected foxgirl.

The tech present is powerful, yet not so overpowered that it becomes dull, magic is much the same way, and most of all, the characters feel like actual people, no one makes s*upid mistakes for the sake of "plot", and most people in any position of power are realistically intellegent.

Overall, it's a fun read, the translation speed is good, and I get my fix of this very specific sci-fi/magic base-building mix, heh.

P.S.

Spoiler

Do exsuse me if i've written this review not quite up to the guidelines, as

1: This is the first ever review i've written on this site.

2: English is not my first language

And finally,

3: I am currently being harrased by approximately one thousand mosqitoes, who seem very determined to get into my eyes, nose, ears, and god knows where else.

(save me, please, i've ran out of any sort of repellant)

It's a super interesting concept that does narrate some cool stuff, but more or less falls flat on its face from time to time due to poor execution, repeating a description 2-3 times in a row of the same thing.

It quickly forget certain rather important sides of this world. Incapable of bowtying lesser events. The MC and her party pretty much never fails and though there's little drama there's never really any tension.

However despite all the negatives I could write a short novel about, it's still a somewhat interesting novel.... more>> If you have nothing else to read, give it a try. There's very little quite like this concept and for that people should atleast give it a chance I think.

It's a solid 3, nowhere near a 4. Definitely not a 2. <<less

I really really like this novel.

It's factorio in fantasy world & rise of nations type of story.

Securing resources, conquer new lands, conquer other factions & politics.

... more>> The story very focus about self grow your own nations by securing the resources around the lands she discovered. And yes resources, that mean " Give me your oils and other resources" American way.

The relationships between the organic Ai sisters and female MC also wholesome to read.

Why this related to factorio game ? You build a factory then giant monsters spawn while you exploring or build oil rigs. Why this related to rise of nation game ?

with power of politic you be friendly first then force them to be your nation later. as factorio enjoyer & rise of nation enjoyer, I really love this.

60%% of the story is resources gathering the factory must grow and 40% of the story is politics become allies or find new land & new resources. <<less

This story is very fun. The basic premise is something along the lines of a supcom or aroura 4x player being dropped into an iskeai, and the author does a pretty good job of balancing it all. The characters are interesting, the nations and worlds are fun, and the growing impact of the tree’s forces is very fun to see
