You should not put misleading labels, since, although the term cultivation can also be understood as cultivating your forces (army, supplies, etc.), in most cases it is associated with the cultivation of qi, and many will come here thinking that it is a cultivation novel, although somewhat rare, but still the novel is good, I recommend it

why is there a Cultivation tag here?   why is there a Cultivation tag here?  why is there a Cultivation tag here?  why is there a Cultivation tag here?

Starts out fine then gets dull, very slow pace

Hello there, just promoting my novel.(๑•̀ㅂ•́)و✧
Ya I know that people who enjoy reading alternative historical novels are scarce here, but I would still like to try out of my love for Roman&Byzantine history, and I am sure there will be friends of the same interest over here.φ(≧ω≦*)♪
If you find this novel interesting please don't hesitate to add it to your library, if you find any mistakes or advice please also put a comment.
Thanks~（づ￣3￣）づ╭❤～

So, before I start reviewing this novel and explaining as to why I am giving it 5 stars, I want to say that Author should change the name of this novel to Revival of Eastern Roman Empire/Roman Empire, using the name some idiot thought to be romantic shouldn't be allowed.
now, with ranting out of the way, let's move on to the review itself.
Writing Quality - it isn't superb per-say, but, it only has few occasional mistakes and as such deserves at least 4.5 stars.
Stability of Updates - 5 stars, because looking at it, it doesn't seem like he missed a day without a reason(such as being in the army, duh)
Story Development - one of the things I really love in this novel is that it doesn't jump you straight into the action, it introduces characters left and right without making you feel tired and overwhelmed with all the Greek or Turkish names. fight scenes aren't forced and they are quite nicely introduced into the play. as such story development of this novel gets 5 stars.
Character Design - now, this is the major thing that you should love in this novel if you love history... and that is characters... almost every character in this novel is someone you can google and learn more about. the only mistake I have seen so far in 90 chapters is Vladislav II Dracula, and it isn't that big of a mistake, just delete 'Dracula' in that name and everything is fine. Main Character is a likeable character and Side characters are actually important and 'alive', with their distinct personalities.
World background - now this one is tough to rate because there are some amazing details that Author has implemented in his story, but there are some absurd things as well... like there being smoking pipes in the 15th century... as such I am giving the world background solid 4.8(there are other mistakes as well apart from smoking pipes, that's why it gets 4.8)
Finally, the novel itself according to these criteriums gets... 4.825 Stars :P but Webnovel says it's 4.8... (don't trust it)

This novel is about the history of colonization era and medieval times, if you like history genre on a novel this one that i can recommend cause the author make the contents as accurate to the history, but it's an alternate history where the romans still survive. There is something that needs some polishing and it will be an great novel about historu for sure, if the author continues writing this novel and I'll support this novel too. Read it you might like it too.
