Gothic Revival, but Roman
About This Novel
(Some chapters in Volumes 1 and 2 have been changed) In 1427, the Byzantine Empire, which had almost been reduced to the mayor of the castle, was still struggling under the threat of the Ottomans. The Trebizond Empire could only survive on marriage and the mercy of the Crescent Christians. The demise of Rome could be said to be not far away. But on the far north shore of the Black Sea, no one noticed that the remnants of the empire on the Black Sea, the last kingdom of the Goths, the Principality of Theodoro, was in the calm before the storm. No one would have thought that the greatest revivalist of the Roman Empire would appear here. Until many years later... "By the grace of God, Emperor of the Roman Empire, Glorious Basilius, Lord of Tauris and Trebizond, Guardian of the Holy Sea, Restorer of Western Anatolia, Lord of Antioch, Defender of Orthodox Christians at Home and Abroad, Destroyer of the Ottoman Turks..." Manuel III, the founding emperor of the Gothic dynasty of the Roman Empire and the "revivor", was sitting on the throne of the Brachna Palace, enjoying the praise of everyone with a calm face.

Full marks for politics, history and military, zero points for emotions, characters and language are at the level of a primary school student. Identified as having high cultural level and low literary level
Author, you have too few climaxes, and the rest is as boring as reading a history book. As a novel, it would be better to add a little element of the protagonist's destiny.
I don't know how to read it, I can't resonate with it.
I have only read the first few chapters and asked the author why there is a "magic" label?
