    The Republican era was a period of great chaos. The protagonist, unassuming and seemingly weak, ultimately rises from the ashes to achieve his goal. The story emphasizes realism, avoiding empty rhetoric, extravagance, and a disappointing ending. It focuses on strategy to overcome all rebellions. This is the kind of exciting novel you're looking for, but without unnecessary drama.

    Don't ask, this long novel started with the first class of the Whampoa Military Academy, and it's definitely not about a saintly protagonist. The main character is ruthless and knows how to talk to people in a certain way. It's definitely a promising book. Add it to your bookshelf with confidence; it updates over 6000 words daily. It's very consistent.
