    The book might be a bit slow-paced, but it's still tolerable. I find the concept intriguing, but the main character displays a contradictory attitude. He criticizes European and American expansion, like with Guam, yet when it comes to his own actions, he seizes the opportunity without remorse. His logic is flawed, suggesting that one should wage war against foreign lands instead of their own people, even mentioning North America before Japan's contact. Throughout the story, he supports Japan with Western goods and technologies while denigrating outsiders as barbarians and dismissing Christianity as a false religion. If you can overlook the illogical content, it serves as a leisurely, albeit unremarkable, way to pass the time.

    I concur with the previous commentator. The author's clear biases shine through as they exhibit racism and Japan-centric admiration. The protagonist's desire to conquer the entire Pacific Ocean while criticizing European colonizers is hypocritical, as they actively seek to prevent further European expansion, yet proceed to colonize others themselves. It appears that the author is compensating for Japan's past colonization failures through this narrative. I wouldn't recommend reading this; consider exploring alternative options for your reading material.

    The book is highly underrated and beautifully written, but regrettably accessible primarily through machine translation. It's a meticulously researched historical fiction novel that delves into the past and imagines possibilities. The author skillfully incorporates dates, places, and factual details. In short, it can be described as a "time-travel sci-fi adventure set in Japan's Warring States period with kingdom-building and a non-erotic harem element."

    Though the theme of nationalism exists, it's understandable given the time period, around the 1500s. I find it perplexing why some reviewers express negativity; perhaps they need to broaden their perspective. Simply put, I encourage readers to give it a chance by sampling a few chapters – I'm confident its unique charm will captivate you.
