We're tired of Readers' whims

Read it, or not, it's up to you. Readers have different tastes.. Some like harem, some don't. Some like mindless action, some don't. Some want to read about controversial topics that could save their souls, others don't. Some like recycled stories, some want originality. Some want complexity, others don't. My real audience are the Goddesses and Gods above. It's up to you if you want proof of their existence, or not. Again, read or not, it's up to you. * While this story has the "harem" tag, I'm not even sure if one Goddess would soon reveal herself to be the combination or totality of all the attractive women. Is Chris monogamous (one Goddess of all) or polygamous (many wives along the Goddess). I don't know yet. But, what I do know is that each female has her own Omniverse and story, and that Chris has an avatar in that Omniverse that always stays with the female in question. Each female felt as if she the one true wife. Let's see if the Gods above will approve of my story...

History Is Officially Ruined: Starting From Three Kingdom

Wen Mang is only a history UP host. Yet every time he posts a video, the people arguing in the comments are… Liu Bei. Guan Yu. Zhang Fei. Zhao Yun. Zhuge Kongming. A mysterious light screen descends, replaying the true fate of the Three Kingdoms, unchanged, merciless, and brutally honest. Liu Bei watches his empire collapse and asks in disbelief: “Shu Han… ended like this? And even my statue was expelled from Wuhou Shrine?” Guan Yu sees himself drowned, defeated, deified, and used. “So this is how history remembers the Martial Saint?” Zhang Fei learns his own end and falls silent for a long, long time. “Is this really… all I amounted to?” Zhao Yun witnesses seven entries and seven exits become a legend yet still cannot save the world he fought for. And Zhuge Kongming… He doesn’t ask about victory or defeat. He asks one question only: “If such a light screen exists can history be rewritten?” From military formations to aircraft carriers, from grain transport to industrial warfare, modern knowledge crashes into ancient ambition. Old regrets awaken. Unfinished oaths resurface. And once the heroes understand why they lost… Will they still accept the ending history gave them? When the light screen up again, the Three Kingdoms are already on a different path.

How does alternate history fiction impact readers' perception of history?

Alternate history fiction has a significant impact on readers' perception of history. By presenting different historical outcomes, it encourages readers to question the inevitability of historical events. For instance, in an alternate history where the Roman Empire never fell, readers are forced to reevaluate their understanding of how empires rise and fall. It also makes them consider how small changes in history could have led to vastly different futures. This type of fiction can inspire readers to study real - world history more deeply to understand the factors that actually influenced historical development. Moreover, it can even change the way readers think about current events by showing how different historical paths could have led to different present - day situations.

Alter history novels have a profound impact on how readers view history. They offer a different perspective by creating fictional worlds based on altered historical events. This can lead readers to question the inevitability of historical developments. For instance, if a novel presents a world where the Industrial Revolution didn't happen as it did in our history, readers are forced to consider the far - reaching consequences of that single event. They also encourage readers to study history more closely to understand the real - life context that the novel is playing with. By seeing how different the fictional world is from the real one, readers gain a greater appreciation for the complexity and importance of historical processes.
