See allBrilliant Historical Fiction, Rated 9 or Higher, Meticulously Researched, with a Down-to-Earth Protagonist
I've read a lot of stories like this, even some highly rated ones, but their protagonists all seem to have an arrogant, godlike perspective. Since they know how things unfold and how they end, they spoil everything for the locals and act smug about it. It's really uncomfortable, and they show no respect for history.

The massive ship lay moored in the dry dock, its rust and bullet holes bearing the marks of war. The towering bridge inspired awe, showcasing the glory and power of the ironclad warship. The triple 16-inch guns, pointing in different directions, reflected the dazzling sunlight. The densely packed anti-aircraft guns seemed poised to fire at any moment.
The book is excellent and very enjoyable, but the updates are a bit slow. Regarding the comment about firing so many shots without hitting anything, in real-world naval warfare, unlike the highly advanced 21st-century system, hundreds or even thousands of shots were needed for a hit. However, the hit rate depended heavily on the sailors' skill level.
The battleship duels are very well-balanced; it's clear the author did their research. The pacing is excellent. Despite the protagonist's overpowered abilities (the sudden appearance of battleships), the other characters behave normally (they know to run when they can't win, and fight when they can't escape).
It's so good, but the updates are too slow 😢😢😢😢
This is a rare naval warfare novel by Tomato, and it's also exceptionally rare for an author who has knowledge of naval warfare. To be honest, the best naval warfare novel I've ever read was written by Silver Knife Prince Consort, which has already been taken down. You can check it out if you want. But honestly, this book only got a 6.5 Rating. Am I just out of touch or have times changed...?
Overall, the book's plot and battle scenes are quite detailed and grand, and the annotations of buildings from different years are very detailed. There are no scenes like destroyers attacking battleships only to have their ammunition depots blown up by a single shot.
The author must have put in a lot of effort; the terminology is very professional—thumbs up! 👍
I wanted to read more; it's so rare to find a warship novel that's actually decent. I've been searching for ages! 😏
I hope it includes H45, Montana, and Super Yamato (just kidding) 😏 The book is very good; the author is skilled and professional. Anyone interested in early 20th-century ships should definitely not miss it (it hasn't covered the 1940s and beyond yet, but I hope the later parts are as excellent as the earlier ones).
Author, I'm begging you, please update! Don't mess with our wonderful book, how can you abandon it? 😢😢😢
