(Anonymous) 2020-06-20 06:43 pm (UTC)(link)Second, it's true and it's just one of the many, many ways in which the book/series is impossibly milsf and Baen Books and everything. It's such a specific masculine power fantasy execution of the premise. So much about it is tropey and iddy, it basically is the exact equivalent of fanfiction except with a completely different target audience. Even its approach to history is like this, it's not concerned with historical accuracy or anything, it's concerned exclusively with what Eric Flint thinks is cool ("Hey, have I told you lately how much I heroworship Gustavus Adolphus??").
It is what it is. I don't even mind it necessarily, because the basic concept is so fun, but it really, really is what it is. It has all the same DNA that John Ringo's stuff has, even if it's slightly less obvious.
