I like reading this. But just for consistency purposes, the Byzantines as we call them today, did not refer to themselves as Byzantines. The Byzantine Empire is actually the Easter Roman Empire, and thus, they refer to themselves as Romans. It was a bit painful to read as these Byxantine characters were referring calling the Romans, where in fact they are really the continuation of the Romans and they continued to refer themselves as Romans. I think even the Ottoman Turks refer to them as Romans. Only the West do not call them as Romans, but they called them Greeks or the Empire of the Greeks at that time. They did this because there was an entity back then known as the Holy Roman Empire which based mostly in Germany. The West treated this as the successor of the Roman Empire rather than accepting the Eastern Roman Empire or ,Byzantine Empire as we call them now, as the successors of the Romans. I think it would be just good to incorporate this but I guess it would be hard. You can do a bit more research so you can confirm that what I said was right. Unless that this is as translation?
They refer themselves as Romans and the Roman Empire not byzantine or byzantium so to make it more accurate use those words. but anyways i give this 4.6 Star : )
Great novel, bought the patreon last month and can say that it is 100% worth it, novel is well researched and thought out, and main character isn't a mary sue. Overall definitely give this one a read 👌
Great read, one of the best reads on this site. The amount of attention paid to the world is very impressive as well as the development of the characters, I am personally waiting for the great war to happen.
It is good. Well researched, well written, it is exactly what you desire to read if you’re looking for an alternate history, time travel, impactful, history changing story with real people, places, and events. I’ve enjoyed it and looking forward to being able to continue reading.
