What an unexpected gem. It's surprisingly true to the historical time period as well as offering many insights. Makes me brush up on my world history, just in case.

Great translation quality and strong character design. The story and world-building are top-notch. Updates seem stable so far. Overall, a must-read!

Great work overall. I read the free chapters but the writing is great and refreshing.

Masterful storytelling and translation work, as well as deep insightful pen work by the author, has translated this historical fiction into an deeply engaging, adrenaline pumping, action-packed story. There is no system (thank god; I think everyone is tired of the overly used troupe and clichés of face slapping), but with masterful use of language - both by the author and Faithfully translated by the TL, allowed arcs of the story to have similar scenes of "face-slapping". Additionally, the amazingly true historic resemblance of other fictional character woven seamlessly into the true historical background and characters. This story is an absolute delight to read! had me gripping the edge of the seat in every chapter, without sudden and obvious cliffhangers. Beautifully done TL. This is an absolute gem among the drool that is infesting this webnovel platform.

Full review below, but the first thing I need to note is that this book embraces antisemitic tropes regarding Jews, money lending, and international cabals manipulating things behind the scenes. The world background of this story is surprisingly rich in detail, which makes this crude antisemitism all the more disappointing. If not for that, I would recommend that people give this book a shot, even though I have serious criticisms regarding character development. The Crown Prince wants France to become the dominant power in Europe and is willing to kill (and let people kill each other) to ensure that it does. Beyond that, Enlightenment values, and some amount of naivete regarding women, he doesn't have much of a personality. In some ways, the details of his decision making process and world building can help make up for his lack of character development. Other characters are similarly one-dimensional. The translation of this book also seems to be MTL. The story is readable but some parts are painful.

when i came here to read, i didn't expect to find such an amazing work, it's a crime that this is not popular enough.

My favourite book now, I like books like these, but this one is just written perfectly, not making the story too fast, nor too slow that you lose interest. No fantasy bull that just gives him a huge advantage, he's just a bit of a history geek, has a good grasp on where to direct, but can't just wip up a new weapon like it's nothing, research is still needed. has historical people in it, and events. Keep up the good work, it's all I read now.

Good story but still falls into the WebNovel pitfall of waaaaaaaaaay to much side story and ignoring the mc for several chapters at a time
