I agree with the other commenter.

the author is clearly a racist and japan supremacist.

the main character wants to colonise the whole Pacific Ocean while at the same time condemning Europe for being colonisers, and he wants to stop Europeans from colonising America and any other nation, and in the process colonises them him self.

it’s clear that the author is sad at how unsuccessful japans colonial endeavours were and wants to make up for it in this novel.

don’t bother to read it and look elsewhere for something to read.

it's a bit of a slow read but still ok.

i find the premise of the story interesting but the MC is a bit of a western hating hypocrite, he condemns europe and america for taking over territory such a guam and then does it himself just because if he doesn't do it someone else will, and he has s*upid thoughts like if you want to go to war don't fight your fellow countrymen, you should go and fight in north america, even before they made first contact with japan. The... more>> whole story is basically just him giving western food weapons and technology to japan while calling everyone outside japan barbarians and calling the god of christianity a false god. If you can ignore all the s*upid stuff it's a slow way to waste time and an ok not great read. <<less
