I just had to drop this one, the overall novel is great, but one character completely ruins it for me, the book should have been renamed Princess Charlotte of France, because she is the author's favorite character, to the point of making her a Mary Sue by every definition. She kind of reminds me of Brie Larson's Captain Marvel, super strong without any actual justification/impact/substance, beyond the basic label of 'strong female character'. Just for some examples of why I feel the way I feel about her; the setting is in the late 1800s or early 1900s (I think, the author is not clear about dates), and the princess is 20 years old or something, and these are just some of her accomplishments; 1. She has 20,000 personal troops that she can actually command, and somehow she has kept the fact she has an army secret 2. Advanced technology 20 years ahead of everybody, 3. massive influence in politics despite being a woman in an era where women weren't even allowed to show feet for fear of being scandalized, 4. contacts, and knowledge of other reincarnators, something our MC hadn't even thought about previously, 5. Resources and wealth outstripping MC, and some other stuff. These are fine if she had the proper development to attain them, but she literally just shows up with everything, on MC, Justinian, and then gives an exposition about everything he doesn't know. Justinian, while more believable, looks completely inept in front of the princess. Before she exposed herself to him, he had never even contemplated the thought of other reincarnators. I feel about her character as much as I feel about the she-hulk and modern woke superheroes; good, only in the writers mind.

I see flames on the cover. I see Austria in the title. It reminds me of a certain person with a funny-looking moustache. Anyways, the story is very promising. It really makes me want to read more.

For us authors, our own creations would always be the best and it is more biased. This is my very first novel and I will put everything to make this novel enjoyable. If you have any suggestions and comment, you can freely comment and review my novel and I will take consideration of your opinions. I hope you will continue to support my novel. Thank you and God Bless!

I thought this novel could be it. That this novel would follow in the footsteps of the likes of 'My German Empire' by NeonLights. The start was promising, with the protagonist being aware of the many threats, dangers and opportunities that awaits his future domain - actively building his power base (economically, politically, and militarily). Then chapter 4 happened. The Crown Prince of Austria coincidentally meets a Japanese-commoner girl, instantly has good feelings for her - with the author setting the stage for their future love. There's even MC's monologue about his East-Asian fetish. Meiji era Japan wasn't as restrictive as they were during the Tokugawa period, but there's no way on Earth that 1) A women would be sent overseas for study. 2) That the women going off to study would be off peasant-origin. 3) That she would somehow attend the one of the most prestigious educational establishment in the entire world. All of these forced plot developments is too much. This is also incredibly poor sign of things to come in the future...

This novel has the makings of a classic. It fuses concepts of historical webnovels with some of those classically enjoyed by the readers here (reincarnation/transmigration, kingdom building). I have always found 19th century Europe to be one of the most fascinating and influential periods in history. Seeing how things could be from the Austrian perspective excites me as a reader. If you do too, then you'll love Justinian. BTW, as a person who enjoys solid grammar and formatting, this is a treat.

I really enjoy the novel. Even if it simple and a newbie. You can sense the amount of effort and research the novel has. The story is still in its early stage and I really enjoy alternate history novels.

A pretty good fic until now, unless you know the games used for the plot you would be rather confused on if it is history lesson or not at the start. Everything is detailed and I would love to see the plot author has planned so far

Imperial Rebirth: The Saga of a Bonaparte

What kind of changes would occur if a history enthusiast Reborn in Napoleonic France.? With his feet crushing the formidable British Royal Navy and his fists striking down the vast Russian Tsarist Empire, he would look across the world and boldly proclaim: "All of Europe basks in the glory of France." Instead of saying the protagonist is Roland, who has traveled through time, it would be more accurate to say that the protagonist is Napoleon. Alternatively, the story has two protagonists, with Roland primarily providing support and assistance to Napoleon. Especially in the early stages, when the protagonist has just graduated from military school and is only a junior officer, he cannot influence the political or military situation.
