Warhammer: In the Name of the Emperor

Explanation of some General Issues (Rather Violent, Don’t Take It Personally)

Readers have too many questions, so I will explain them all at once in the book review (there are some in the book review, but I want to post them here to avoid people who are not used to reading book reviews from seeing them.)

Part 1:

Q: Ah, you, the protagonist, are openly colluding with the demon Archdemon and the aliens, you might as well write a villain

A: In the 40K universe, everyone, everyone, has a relationship with aliens and demons. The nature of Chaos determines that whether you like it or not, you will be related to Chaos in Warhammer. For example, Macharius was always entangled by Tzeentch demons during the expedition, but he died before he had much to do with the demons. He was killed by the Assassination Chamber. All the heroes of the Empire have more or less connections with the demons, because if you don't collude with Chaos, Chaos will actively collude with you, whether you like it or not, so most of the heroes of the Empire can be called heretics, and generally have a miserable end.

Secondly, everyone, from the Emperor to Guilliman, has a relationship with the aliens. The Emperor knows Eldar, Guilliman is not clear with Everenne, even Cawl knows the Eldar prophet, Admiral Speyer is also friends with the Eldar pirate lord, no one has no relationship with the aliens, so do you say these people are good people? All the Eldar will sacrifice a large number of humans for the benefit of the Eldar without hesitation, and most of the time they are too lazy to explain to you, just say Guilliman and Everenne, let me remind you that the Regent’s wife used to be a pirate, do you really want to worry about how many humans she killed? Even if she becomes a Death Prophet and allies with the Empire, she will still cheat humans. She is still on the Eldar side after all. Then, is Guilliman who continues to cooperate with Everenne a bad person? Is such a simple two-pole idea useful?

Part 2:

Question: You clearly said that the protagonist cares about humans, but he will still sacrifice many people without hesitation. Isn’t this contradictory? Nonsense

A: Let me remind you that since Guilliman's return, the average production labor time of the Empire has increased several times. In order to support the consumption of the Indomitus Crusade, it is very common to exhaust people to death. So Guilliman is an unforgivable tyrant? I remind you that all the Primarchs, even those "good" Primarchs, have done things like sacrificing some people to achieve the overall situation, including all the Space Marines. So according to this logic, they are all false liars? It contradicts their oath to defend humanity? They are all bad people?

For people who hold this view, the entire human race is an evil species, because everyone in human history will do this, even those who are praised, because history is like this. There is always a need to do a lot of "unjust" things and sacrifice some people to achieve certain "great achievements"? That's too normal, and it is completely different from your position to decide whether you think it is worth it.

Part 3:

Q: You are the protagonist, so powerful, why don't you care about the Empire? Watching the Empire free fall for so many years, ugh! Fake and empty

Answer: I have explained the specific reasons, but I don't mind explaining it again. You have a typical populist mentality, hoping that an absolutely wise leader can solve everything, but ignoring that in the face of such a complex and outrageous reality, your so-called wise leader will gradually become stubborn and crazy, and then become a tyrant in your mouth, and then you can start to call him a bad guy, completely forgetting how you praised him in the first place.

The reality of the Empire is not a "human" at all. Even if it is a "god", for example, if the Emperor comes, his solution will not make you like it. He will only be more cruel than the protagonist and everyone else. The Emperor will be like this. Since you are still fantasizing about a leader who is always right and kind? Because this is the reality of the Empire, the reality of this 40K universe, the naive will always be the first to die.

When this "savior" becomes a tyrant, someone needs to kill him before he causes enough irreparable losses, and then replace him with a new person to continue the cycle, and then kill and replace him before the new person is exhausted. This is the logic of the High Lord. For example, let's look at Wangerich in Beast Wars. The protagonist has always been doing this job. May I ask, if the protagonist becomes the leader according to your wishes, who will guarantee that he will be killed when the protagonist is driven crazy? With the strength of the protagonist, can anyone in the Empire beat him? No, to use a reader's comment, assassinating the protagonist is as difficult as assassinating the emperor, so yes, this is why the protagonist cannot be the boss.

Part 4:

Question: You said that your protagonist has strong power but weak control, but then the more you use psychic power, the more you can control it. It's inconsistent.

Answer: If you think that you are proficient in lighting a halo behind your head, then you have broken the setting of weak control, then is it also a century innovation for me to light a light bulb? Even Guilliman can light a halo, so I dare to ask if Guilliman has strong psychic power?

Secondly, let me give you an example. The Emperor's use of psychic energy is similar to having a key to a safe. When the safe is opened, psychic energy can be taken out and used stably. The protagonist does not have a key, but can force a punch through the cabinet, and can also force the psychic energy to stabilize for a while, relying on brute force, but doesn't it hurt to punch through the cabinet every time? Is it comfortable? You can also knock the door open without a key, so will you knock it every day? So do you know why the protagonist does not use psychic energy randomly? You are going to ask again, ah, then why doesn't the protagonist learn how to use psychic energy? Good question, the plot will explain.

The main questions have been answered, if you have any questions, please leave a message.
