Alternate History
This is a list contains novels that are of the type where the main character either transmigrates into a world similar to Earth into the body of a person in history or regresses back to themselves of their past. This list does not contain fantasy stuff such as magic or hunters. By this i mean the focus of the novel could be kingdom building, financial empires or military stuff like World Wars.

      Never thought the translator would drop into my comments hahaha. I appreciate your efforts to bring this brilliant novel to those that don't touch MTLs like me. I hope you get rewarded for your translations.

      @ObisidianRevenger Just recently I finished translating the Mad Tycoon, but still advanced chapter. Of course, there are side story. But it will finish in two weeks, I guess.

      @MarcTempest Same here man. I struggled to find novels like this so bad, I had to find sites for Korean raw novel sites and mtl sites. I haven't been to those sites these days but I feel like going there once again to find excellent reads.

    Other Korean novels which are decent but are not yet added to NU are:

       Wall Street of the Third Generation Chaebol (재벌3세의 월스트리) - 4.3 stars for me. Finance and politics. MC transmigrates as originally non-existent second son of J.P Morgan (founder of the current JP Morgan Bank and financial genius)in the 1980s. Here the MC raises a financial empire of his and helps the USA secure global hedgemony using his knowledge. Important points of this novel are financial markets and regulation, and the establishment of trusts(companies with huge market shares). Fun read.

       The Enemy's Child (매국노의 원수 자식) - 3.7 stars for me. Finance and Military. MC transmigrates as non-existent son of famous pro-Japanese Korean betrayer, Lee Wang Yong, who put Korea under Japanese rule. This one was funny. It spans from the 1980s way past WW2 and sticks however it shows no butterfly effects until 1938 or so which kind of irked me. Had fun but no butterfly effect until so late irked me.

       Returner's Success Investing Method (회귀자의 성공 투자법) - 4.0 stars for me. Finance. MC regresses back 20 years before he dies in an accident in modern Korea. He first avoids the initial crisis that led to him losing his loss in finance due to corruption of a senior and then raises his financial empire using the knowledge he has. The events are not exactly the same as ours and there are alot of differences but there are alot of similar ones.

       Rasputin of the East (동방의 라스푸틴) - 4.0 stars for me. Military and politics. MC time travels back to 1906 to the Russian Empire as himself. By trying to make a living as a doctor but he is somehow caught by Ohrana and he manages to ease Prince Alexei's suffering taking the place of the original Rasputin, who treated Alexei but then he went on to betray the Imperial family. From here he wins the Tsar's trust and kind of becomes an important figure in the internal ministry and prevents the communism (and hence the USSR) from happening (this is a mini spoiler but i need it to explain stuff well). There is the butterfly effect here so I had fun reading it.

         George Bush's Great America (조지 부시의 위대한 미국) - 4.3 stars for me. Politics. MC transmigrates as George Bush a few moments before the iconic moment of the Secret Service agent whispering into his ear about the attacks on the twin towers. From then on he proceeds with an appropriate response to the crisis and then uses his knowledge to solve the massive issues that occurred during the Bush administration. Yeah the comedy was abundant in this one and seemed like a half parody novel. (mini spoiler: he flew from the US to Korea in a fighter jet lmao)

         Belgium is not neutral in WWII (2차대전 벨기에는 중립을 하지 않는다) - 4.4 stars for me. Military. MC transmigrates as Leopold III of Belgium a few years before WW2 broke out in earnest. Up-till where I read, this novel had massive immediate butterfly effects compared to other novels where butterfly effects don't take effect despite clear non-following of original events. Recommend a read for someone who would want an proper alternate history history especially around WW2.

         I Became the Admiral of the French Navy (프랑스 해군제독이 되었다) - 3.9 stars for me. Military. MC transmigrated as a captain of a battleship. The difference in this novel is that the the Washington Naval Treaty seems to be non-existent meaning each nation seems to have more ships than in original history. A famous example would be Japan having 3 of its Yamato class battleships. This seems to have been done to make the novel interesting since the main focus here is the navy. The smaller events are affected by the butterfly effect but the general events do not even change even around the ending chapters of the novel but despite that it was a fun read. The battles go into quite some detail so for those who like military stuff should like this.

        I Became Stalin?! (나, 스탈린이 되었다?! ) - 4.3 stars for me. Military. Exactly as the title says, MC transmigrates into Stalin right after the Germans attack the Soviet Union and are approaching Ukraine and Crimea. The novel explains focuses alot on the environment around Stalin so the details are interesting to read. Also Stalin's soul retails a minimal influence on the body and the MC seems to be aware of it (voices in his head and urges to purge anyone with enough power to threaten Stalin like Zhukov). There are multiple transmigrated individuals here (example would be that some modern Japanese who was pro-Imperial Japanese Army occupies hi*ler's body) who have modern knowledge. This also has strong butterfly effects and i had fun for the few chapters that i read.

      @tacocat111 then i recommend the Wall Street one. This one is heavy on finance and financial laws. It does explain well enough so that you can recognise MCs strategy

      Holy Roman Empire is Chinese but it is very good. The Mad Tycoon of Rome was fun too. These are to my tastes and I can guarantee they might be average or Ok-ish to others but they certainly aren't tr*sh. Other than that, thank you for commenting.

      @ObisidianRevenger nah, alternate korean novel that you rate 4++ out of 5 was literally far beyond average. Their novel is tr*sh, most alternate Korean novel that isekai in Europe setting mostly become Stagnant, bland character, submissive, and also cringe interaction... Just like Belgium not neutral ww2 novel, you rate 4.3 but it literally bland, the interaction just like 4 player in gamingcafe playing some RTS game, there is literally no real interaction as politician in that novel. Idk how can you put that 4,3 and said it above average hahaha funny thing

      @ObisidianRevenger Don't listen to these guys, the rating are always based on what the reviewer got out of it. I love Mad Tycoon of Rome and HRE too.
