Austria, Blessed by the Gods

Historical facts are fine in a novel, but things like institutions and other miscellaneous information should be mentioned briefly. Going into too much detail doesn't enhance the reading experience.

It was too difficult to draw the German region before it was forcibly integrated by some Corsican dwarf, so I gave up.

I hope there can be less historical information included, otherwise the viewing experience is really poor. Also, I hope the paragraph breaks can be changed, otherwise long paragraphs are also difficult to read.

Sure, it's rare to see Austria at this point in time. Prince Eugene was still alive then, and Belgrade couldn't be lost after the conquest. Furthermore, nationalism in northern Italy hadn't yet taken hold, so they could have tried annexing Venice and Genoa.

I had previously read a book where the protagonist shared the same identity as the main character in this book. He chose to go and inherit Spain, probably hoping to return and inherit Austria once his uncle had no male heirs. Unfortunately, it only had about 20 chapters. The author's problems from the previous book still exist: too much factual information, too many full names of characters, and the communication between family members is too Chinese-style (omitting even a few words is fine).

I sincerely suggest that the author use fewer idioms and proverbs in the text. They are really abrupt and disjointed, and I feel awkward every time I see them. They are just incongruous.

Ideally, we should colonize outwards. Then, we can relocate all the rebellious ethnic groups from unstable regions, essentially replacing them with new ones. Even if they gain independence later, the losses won't be significant.

The Great Northern War isn't over yet, so the borders in Northern Europe are drawn according to the pre-war boundaries. This is a EU5 map, so there are a lot of impassable areas. Please bear with it. 😅

The diplomatic seating arrangement in the new chapter isn't arbitrary; it's based on the Catholic monarchical seating chart released by the Pope in 1504, so it carries some authority. One point the author doesn't explain is that it's not solely based on national power, but rather on national power, faith, influence, and legitimacy.

Sure, during this period, Austria could try to conquer northern Italy and hold Belgrade.
