Update to my comment below: "Rome Must Fall" was picked up by "Gemnovels," with 35 chapters currently translated. As I have caught up with the raws (chapter 192), in my opinion, the novel is great. The author has learned from his mistakes, and the characters are now much better written, with the MC being the biggest beneficiary. From the start, the MC is surrounding himself with knowledgeable and experienced people and actively learning from them. Battles are engaging to read, with historically accurate tactics. For now, the MC's army is completely based on Roman legions, but there are signs that it's going to diversify (hopefully, it will be like the Byzantine Empire with super heavy cataphracts). There are more Chinese accents this time (probably because Chinese readers insisted), like the MC's faction flag being an eastern dragon or the government being inspired by the Qing Dynasty. All in all, it's probably going to be one of the best kingdom-building novels out there.
