   ❤️Whether it's an anti-Japanese war drama or not is hard to define. Even "Bright Sword" has been called an anti-Japanese war drama by some. You can judge the following three books for yourselves. If you ask me, they do have some kind of cheat system, but not a big one. They don't belittle the fighting power of the Japanese army and depict the cruelty and hardship of that war. The cheat system in the first and second books is a mini-map, like the small battlefield map you see in a game. The protagonist can use this to command, but that's it. The third book doesn't have any cheat systems at all. If you really have to say, does the transmigrator himself count as a cheat system? This is, after all, a web novel. If it doesn't provide any assistance at all, then you might as well watch a documentary.

    These are some of the most exciting spy novels I stayed up all night reading! The first one: The male protagonist accidentally impersonates a lowly nobleman and becomes the heir to the shogunate. He then travels to China and, using his new identity, mobilizes his subordinates to relentlessly aid his own people. While the details aren't perfect, the sheer awesomeness of fighting the Japanese is truly exhilarating! The second one: The male protagonist transmigrates into the body of a lowly nobleman who has become the captain of the Northeast Military Police. After taking power, he meddles in everything, causing trouble everywhere. He navigates the power struggles of various factions with ease, finding his way forward amidst the intrigue and deception, using their strengths against them to help his own people! A truly satisfying read!
