Another theme is discovery. The first man is often the one who discovers new things. It could be a new place, a new technology, or a new way of thinking. In historical fictions about the first man in space, the discovery of what space is like is a major part of the story.
Yes, 'The First Men in the Moon' by H.G. Wells is also a kind of 'first man' historical fiction. It's about the journey to the moon in a fictionalized early exploration scenario. It's really imaginative and Wells' writing style makes the story engaging.
For the first 5 pages of historical fiction, it's crucial to set the time period clearly. Use specific details like the year, era name, or important historical events that are immediately recognizable. For example, if it's set during the Industrial Revolution, mention smoky factories or new inventions right away.
It's hard to determine exactly which was the very first historical fiction novel as it depends on various factors and definitions. But some early examples include works like 'Ivanhoe' by Sir Walter Scott.
Ivanhoe was not the first. Historical fiction has roots that go deeper, with earlier works laying the groundwork for the genre. However, Ivanhoe is still highly regarded in the realm of historical fiction.

It was a newcomer's new book. The quality of the book could be seen from the fact that it had more than 500,000 words.
The plot of this book was not the kind of brainless noob who pushed it all the way to the end without any setbacks. It was a bit of a torture to the main character.
13."Zhiming": Nowadays, there are fewer authors writing about the Ming Dynasty. Those famous gods had already changed their families.
There are fewer and fewer good books. This is one of the better Ming Dynasty books I've read recently. The title is really not good, but the content is really good!
At the beginning, the opening part was plain. There wasn't any fascinating plot, but as he slowly read, he realized that the author's writing was still okay. Although he was a newcomer, he didn't have any of the thunder or plot poison that newcomers had.
He had to read this kind of Ming Dynasty literature slowly and patiently.
After reading chapter 10, he realized that the plot was getting better and better, and the author's writing had improved significantly.
The battle scenes were especially well written.
This book is considered one of the more difficult historical Ming Dynasty articles to read recently. It's also worth reading slowly.

"Book of Chu: The Chronicle of Emperor Taizu": This book has its own toxic points, but the protagonist relies on success to fool people and rebel with the protagonist. It's quite interesting. It was a pure and refreshing story, and the progress was fast.
20:<Si Li Jian>: The author is full of nonsense. The protagonist is also a piece of trash. Let's go and condemn him together.
This was really high-energy. It was recommended not to bring toilet paper and just wash it with water. Otherwise, it would be a waste of paper.

First historical fiction novels often have detailed descriptions of the historical settings. For example, they might describe the architecture, clothing, and social hierarchies of the time. They also tend to incorporate real historical events or figures into fictional stories. This makes the story seem more authentic and gives readers a sense of the past.
It's difficult to determine exactly who wrote the very first historical fiction book as the definition of the genre has evolved over time. However, some early works that could be considered historical fiction were written by ancient Greek authors like Herodotus, who included fictional elements in his historical accounts.
Well, the first historical fiction book was really important. It opened up a whole new way of storytelling. It gave writers the freedom to play with historical facts and create vivid pictures of the past. This in turn might have inspired other forms of literature that blend fact and fiction, and it also became a way to preserve and pass on historical knowledge in a more enjoyable form.
