An incredible story that is so historically accurate, I can't help but applaud the author. It is also humbling to read this story as it inspires me to be a better writer. Think about it: this story has a lot of historical facts and explanations and yet I, someone who passed my history test with a below average score, was drawn in. It never felt cluttered or boring and was rather engaging, a testament to not only how good the author is in writing, but how much effort he put in to make this compelling story. The characters are also well done and fleshed out and the action scenes are also great. Antonius is a character I can get behind; he is scheming but has a sense of honor. Abdullah is another character that I admired; I thought he would be one of those arrogant characters in webnovels that are there just for face slapping but was pleasantly surprised when I found him to be just as smart as Antonius. Grammar is also well done, just a few errors here and there but they hardly affect the story. As I mention in my reviews, there are stories with horrendous grammatical errors that are more popular than these hidden gems and make no mistake, this is a hidden gem.

So, before I start reviewing this novel and explaining as to why I am giving it 5 stars, I want to say that Author should change the name of this novel to Revival of Eastern Roman Empire/Roman Empire, using the name some idiot thought to be romantic shouldn't be allowed. now, with ranting out of the way, let's move on to the review itself. Writing Quality - it isn't superb per-say, but, it only has few occasional mistakes and as such deserves at least 4.5 stars. Stability of Updates - 5 stars, because looking at it, it doesn't seem like he missed a day without a reason(such as being in the army, duh) Story Development - one of the things I really love in this novel is that it doesn't jump you straight into the action, it introduces characters left and right without making you feel tired and overwhelmed with all the Greek or Turkish names. fight scenes aren't forced and they are quite nicely introduced into the play. as such story development of this novel gets 5 stars. Character Design - now, this is the major thing that you should love in this novel if you love history... and that is characters... almost every character in this novel is someone you can google and learn more about. the only mistake I have seen so far in 90 chapters is Vladislav II Dracula, and it isn't that big of a mistake, just delete 'Dracula' in that name and everything is fine. Main Character is a likeable character and Side characters are actually important and 'alive', with their distinct personalities. World background - now this one is tough to rate because there are some amazing details that Author has implemented in his story, but there are some absurd things as well... like there being smoking pipes in the 15th century... as such I am giving the world background solid 4.8(there are other mistakes as well apart from smoking pipes, that's why it gets 4.8) Finally, the novel itself according to these criteriums gets... 4.825 Stars :P but Webnovel says it's 4.8... (don't trust it)
