Honestly, this might be one of the best history novels in a long while.
While this novel is not actually staged in France, but 'Francia' the author has done a good job with his narrative.
The novel follows the MC - Pierre De Lafayette, a Marquis of Francia who was executed on the guillotine by the Revolution and regressed. From then on we spend a lot of time in the MC's head, since this novel narrative is mostly on the first pov with the MC being the narrator, so we get to know him very well. The first 20 chapters are absurdly well written, you can visibly see the MC becoming a better person, not a Saint mind you, but he won't be that tipycal MC who regressed and now can do everything because of his future knowledge.... No, the author does a good job showcasing that Pierre is a flawed human being, that is trying to make the most of his second life while working to avoid his destiny.
This novel is mostly a war and political-driven one, we have some good comedy moments, but that is mostly because of what is going on in Pierre's mind at the moment, as he has some rather sarcastic opinions sometimes
The Romance: It's very good, although some may find it a bit slow, but I think it's very real. The Female Lead - Christine De Aquitaine is another noble of a more commerce-driven territory, and her interactions with the MC are very good.
I would recommend on reading this novel from Genesis Translations as their translation is very, and I mean very good. The other guy may be faster with updates but if you read a couple of his chapters you'll see that's just edited MTL.
Anyway this was the first novel I actually read on Korean, and I didn't regret a single thing. I hope you won't as well!
