5/5, the best nation-building/political novel on this site.

An excellent historical novel, yes, it's a reincarnation story ((You do not get to hear or learn about who he was before that much, I hardly recall what his name was because he became Franz)). Still, honestly, the MC rarely uses any, and the gain is not that great because the historical facts start to diverge quickly from real history. Furthermore, the MC does not bring modern technology and breaks the historical immersion; he is not a scientist. The MC is not... more>> a brute; you're not going to see him fight, nor shall he lead armies he leaves that to real generals and marshals of his Empire i. You're going to hear war and see the war-room tactics and some combat snippets, but overall you won't see it from a soldier's perspective but from a generals eye-view.

This novel mostly involves nation-building, diplomacy, intrigue, politics - "A LOT", and the economy.

The MC is smart, cautious, and cunning. He does not transform his nation into a superpower overnight, in fact, his nation is already in of the top 4 (Historically accurate) the balance is kept between the top four (UK, France, Austria and Russia) he does though bring back his nation from going into a decaying spiral back into striving for the top power.

Also, none of the nonsense about bringing liberal ideas from the future, he does not do that, in fact, he does the opposite and goes with current lifestyle, the MC really immerses himself into who he is currently.

His enemies are really smart, there are no stumbling idiots here plus his enemies sometimes become his allies the current era is the manifestation of "We have no eternal allies, and we have no perpetual enemies. Our interests are eternal and perpetual." You do get to see the perspective of all the governments and most of their plans, some secrets are kept out of the picture until there is reveal.

It is excellently written the author has the correct facts and seems to know a lot about the current era.

The MTL is fine, but the translation is excellent, and I wish there were more! <<less

MTL to the end and I was not disappointed. It was a wonderful portrayal of the 19th century and very informative about history, economy and politics. It spurred me to read up on various things while going through the novel and I can confidently say that I'm no longer so clueless when it comes to matters of economics and some government policies. Weirdly enough something so educational can be so entertaining. Don't expect MC to be OP. He can't even describe the operation of a refrigerator beyond the concept of... more>> "it keeps food cold" so don't expect him to be bringing in modern technology and breaking the technology tree. At most the emergence of certain technology is advanced by a few decades because he provides direction.

It's a testament to the author's talent that this is kept entertaining and interesting.

5/5 would read again (if not so long!) <<less

It was a bit boring at first due to the info dumps (or execution of it I guess?) in the beginning but once you get past that, its all good and it becomes enjoyable to read. It's not perfect but it's by far the best kingdom building novel that I have ever read so I'm giving it five stars. I really like the pov changes that give us insights to the thoughts and decisions of each government and ordinary people in response to the changes done by MC.

While the MC... more>> is a bit too hyper competent in statesmanship (Semi-plausible so I'll just think that the reincarnated MC is a genius historian with high EQ and considerable experience with management as it is shown with his actions in the novel and how he interacts with people), he still feels human with his own distinctive personality and hobbies. At the very least he's doesn't have the skills of a war god, wikipedia scientist/engineer tech god, doesn't think with his lower head unlike most novels in this genre. What he is good at is delegation, taking advantage of his future knowledge and getting people to do what he wants them to do (combined carrot/stick approach and timing).

My favorite interactions in the novel is with his own family and his ministers (especially with his sons Frederick and Peter). Edit: I can also vouch that MTL is of good quality. The translated chapters are still better but the quality of MTL for this novel is still amazing. I was very pleasantly surprised. It's easy to understand and not the usual brain bleach I encounter there with other novels.

The minor translating issues that stand out to me the most is that China is sometimes mentioned instead of the actual country being addressed. The same goes with Russia and Prussia. Prussia is often translated as Russia. <<less

Absolutely marvellous and I am not talking about the story. Don't get me wrong the story is good. But a good story differs from person to person.

Why I think it's marvellous is because of how educational it is. It involves a lot of real world politics and policies that are hidden from the public. National goals and objectives that are followed no matter the government change.

How two seemingly best allies work behind the scenes to pit one another. How important the foreign ministry is which is somewhat overlooked by the... more>> general public. How businessmen and government clash. Why first world countries help third world countries develope?

So if you find (some will say its a fanfic boring) then read it to get a realistic behind the scenes look to modern politics. <<less

Its not perfect but its close enough (a little bit too much plot armor but who cares). Just the fact people are willing to read its MTL says a lot about its quality. The best Kingdom building and historical novel for me so far, not only interesting but enlightening, the XIX century is so well and deeply portrayed, that I can say that one can learn more history/economy/sociology with this novel than with a normal class in a university.

Great novel. One of my favorite alt-history/political reads. It's a pity it isn't translated past ch 60. (MTL gives me an aneurysm) : (

first of all i've read this novel as well as another novel by this author which has pretty much the exact same development, also I really appreciate these kinds of novels where the characters are competent it shows that they aren't just random cardboard cut outs. However after studying parts of history (which is my hobby) you start to feel how unrealistic this is. So for example the story like I said has competent characters however this is precisely the problem when you look back at it in history you... more>> can tell that for a fact a lot of those people in high positions were definitely not competent. This would also explain why there were numerous situations in history that were just fiascos, for example the Crimean war. Also the downplay of technology in this also doesn't make much sense. I get that the MC is portrayed as someone who knows history well but isn't a tech geek but if you know history well you would definitely know the general trend of upgrades for example say the improvement from matchlocks to flintlocks. Also I'm not saying that they should know the tech but that they know the general trend of development so my point is even if he doesn't know how to physically upgrade the gun he could simply find a reputable gun smith and point them in the right direction this would save immense amount of time and research. You have to know in research a big reason why funds are swallowed like crazy is because generally speaking the researchers don't exactly know the outcome, or the general trend of development thats why they are experimenting to figure it out. So if *cough* someone who traveled from the future comes along that knows this and points these researchers in that direction its gonna get discovered faster and cheaper.

anyways I still really appreciate the indept study into historical information and the competent characters however the non dues ex machina makes this unrealistic as it doesn't do justice as to how big the actual advantage the MC has by being a traverser. <<less

Rating this based on having read the MTL to a certain point, the quality of the writing would probably be quite high if translated well, the understanding of history is quite in depth as well.

The reason for the bad rating is the unfortunate issue of historical revisionism.

For the first 300 or so chapters the story focuses on Europe, and it's obvious that the author has a decent understanding of the political and economic situation of the time period, even with his understanding having a certain bias to it, it all... more>> makes sense and fits.

Unfortunately, then the American Civil War happens.

Spoiler

Have you ever heard about "Lost Cause" revisionism? Where people claim that the main reason for the American Civil War wasn't the use of humans as chattel? Yeah, the author subscribes to that theory wholeheartedly, and the main character somehow magically convinces all of Europe that they should openly support the South (political suicide, given the prevailing popular opinion, and the fact that he was a monarch who ruled a country that had abolished s*avery in all of it's lands and territories, even colonies) and that they could convince the South to abolish their "Peculiar Institution" afterwards.

[collapse]

It was at this point that all historical realism died, for reasons that I can only assume are somehow linked to the author's real life biases or political views.

Past that point I couldn't read anymore and had to drop the story. The only reason the rating is as high as it is despite not being translated and being biased and revisionist is because of how well the story is put together and the level of historical detail that obviously went into writing it. <<less

I like this novel a lot. The premise of a modern person becoming crown prince in the era of decline of monarchies in Europe is surprisingly strong. The author takes some advantage of setting a person with historical interest in the era as the reincarnated to twist things in a better direction. At least prior to the butterfly effect going out of control.

I especially like that he does not know how to make an air plane or a state of the art electrical generator. His skill set is history, while... more>> knowing about the hit technologies by being from a future time. This is already a great advantage when you are in an advantageous starting point. Something as simple as knowing that compulsory educations pays for itself multiple times over isn't obvious prior to it being implemented for two generations. Or knowing that oil is a strategic resource that caused multiple wars in the future, grab it while it is cheap. ;) What I don't like is a bit harder to define. Perhaps pushing the premise of the story too far in some cases. Focusing on strong nations and the things they can eat. The interests overriding everything else. These things are true but not to the degree pushed in some early stages of the novel. Later on this is much more nuanced with nation opinion forcing some actions. Could also be me being from a much more peaceful and structured era.

As for the MTL, it is decent. A lot of problems with it but nothing that really hinders reading it. Three common errors was that any time that a homeland of some type was refereed to it was translated as China, a list of things often has the last one repeating and that Prussia is often translated as Russia. The last one becomes especially interesting as they share a border and thus are often discussed in potential politics.

Updated opinion around chapter 1000. The novel is now overstaying its welcome.
Spoiler

There is no global tension remaining for the MC. We are basically just following the alternative history forward with no goal in place. I guess it ends with his death instead of becoming a unified HRE which the title is focused on. I won't know since I have lost interest in the story after the big climax has been reached and things keep going (just as in real life).
