No Beginner-Level Writing, Realistic Style, Mostly Historical
Books That Avoid Cliches and Aren't Too Simplistic
The quality should be pretty good, but sadly, the books I most wanted to recommend and the ones I bought in full have all been taken down. A third of my bookshelf has been blocked.

[Comment] Some of the female characters the author wrote were truly nauseating.
Let's talk about his sister, Katsura... She was given various dedicated chapters in the early stages to build rapport and establish her as a sister whose background is unclear... Then she was simply skipped over, right? What's the point of writing about her? She's someone who could have been easily mentioned in a few strokes. And then there's Uesugi Kenshin's sister.
I read half of it, and there were hardly any real battles; it was mostly farming and developing the story. The middle part suddenly turned into a simp, which was really strange, especially the scenes where she accidentally saw him bathing—it was so cringeworthy!
A warning to those who follow ⚠️
Don't be fooled by the author's introduction of historical knowledge. The intelligence of all the characters is no higher than that of an elementary school student. The lowest level of danger is when the 9-year-old protagonist, as the commander-in-chief, leads 7,000 men to annihilate the Miyoshi family's 18,000 men. If you can't accept this, please don't open this book.
The writer didn't think before writing this. 400 People divided into 5 teams firing 5 rounds, killing more than 1,500? Or 500 people firing several rounds at a distance of 50 meters? What kind of gun reloads so fast?
I couldn't continue reading after chapter 223. The author clearly doesn't understand the level of equipment and combat effectiveness of European armies from the mid-16th to the early 17th century. He arrogantly assumes that Japan's shoddy military could rival European armies. It felt like watching a Showa-era military drama, and I have no liking for the Showa era.
The author's portrayal of women is terrible, and he's practically the epitome of a simp.
[Comment] I can't stand it anymore.
An article of over two thousand words always has more than half of it consisting of trivial historical anecdotes; I couldn't stand it after reading the second volume. 🤫
Extremely filler... I've read dozens of chapters, and it's all about environmental history. I only read about the Sengoku period in Japan because I wanted to see village battles, but every fanfic is this filler. How many people are still interested in this kind of book? ...
The core idea of this book can be summed up in one sentence: nobles will always be nobles, and commoners will always be commoners. Even a nobleman from a fallen family, surrounded by useless individuals, is still a nobleman. A commoner, no matter how talented or skilled in both literature and martial arts, will at best end up with a position with only a voice, and will be dismissed as soon as their term is over.
Back then, the death rate wasn't that high. Even a 10% success rate would be disastrous. Now you're getting thousands upon thousands of deaths every time.
