What I found; Characters are wet blanket for the protagonist to manipulate without taking into consideration of their personalities, they just followed him because he is "gEniUs", everyone would swallow his every word despite being a young preteen, like Pompey would follow his every order how to use his consulship power and stop talking in the middle of his roasting someone important. You get how f*cking silly that is? A proud and accomplished general with his blood hot from that person's failure and so he release one of the greatest roast in the history of Rome, but a single signal from our "genius" protagonist he shut his mouth in second in the middle of his venomous speech. That's just f*cking silly and lazy writing. He's somehow able to "plan" his scheme based on books written from the future down to the last variable that would give him the most benefit without need or consideration for the present making the book from the future act like a CCTV 24/7 instead of a book written with limited amount of information, lots of hearsay, and theories.

He can take advantage of the flow of timelines to make himself richer, more famous, acquire more glory but somehow conveniently does not change the timeline so can coast on easy mode based on his reading of a book written in the future. And Even worst than that is how characters who uses his "genius" advice somehow doesn't follow anymore conveniently at the timeline where they made wrong decision that ruined their career, so conveniently no change of timeline and protagonist can benefit from the opportunity guilt free.

But what gets my blood even more hotter is the protagonist' lack of personality consistency, this exploitive and manipulative snake who can use people without a single shred of emotion like a cold blooded legless reptile somehow found genuine emotion to fall in love with after just meeting with her for few days. Did I also forget that she's Caesar's daughter? See how absolutely convenient that is? He, a manipulative snake chasing power fell in love with the daughter of the man who will be the catalyst for the Roman empire?

And that's just one of the silly and convenient garbage this tr*shcan produce, Caesar's daughter is a pure and submissive girl who will only act in his interest, has no selfish desire for her own gain, will accept his harem (because why not) and will not bang another dude behind his back like other Roman wives. Isn't she just conveniently fit in the power fantasy?

There is no narrative tension, there is no challenge, nothing that test a protagonist character that will lead to growth or development. Not that that's even possible considering the protagonist is made to be as bland as possible so you can self insert yourself as him. Everything is convenient and easy for the protagonist so he can get fame, power and wet his stick with many women.

(wacky Korean bow :D)

Worst points: MC is a unapologetic s*aver (Spartacus arc), spouting fascism ideology (Egypt succession arc) while focusing on conquering neighbor and concentrating more power to himself after improving the live of mostly Roman living in Rome somewhat (better bathhouse, soap, entertainment for the mass, better ride, paper for noble, better weapon and armor for legion).

Plot/History just rigidly marched on, little to no butterflies, else developed to the MC's advantage.

I know there's the thing where his dad and brother are supposed to die in battle, but even more political power than he has just from his family name and wealth isn't necessary at all to prevent that. He has a gold spoon and a cheat ability; if he wants to live a good life without troubles it will be easy for him.
