    Hi everyone after year read fantasy novel I'm starting to loss interest in it.
    So I hope you guys can give me recommendation novel that doesn't have magic or immortality.
    It's fine if it doesn't translated just please give me a link for raw.

    Note :
    -I hope there was romance but it's fine if it doesn't have romance too.
    -There no traveling between future and past like my father in law is lu but.
    -no all capable or easy get rich like extraordinary genius or I'm In Hollywood (I prefer something like the famous millionaire, the great storyteller, good of money, Superstars of Tomorrow)
    -no face slapping novel like I'm really superstar or a valiant life
    -for historical military novel I hope there was no technology gap (even if there is I hope it was not to obivious)
    -MC need to have a back bone, he is not afraid to killing

    And lastly NO YURI or YAOI !!!!

    Here my reading list for more information

    Thanks

    Madan no Ou to Vanadis

    Doesn't suffer from Japanese MC problems. He isn't a pacifist but he doesn't have a murder boner either. He will kill people in battle or those who try to kill him. The large army battles are very well done. Harem is ok and there are some magic weapons but they are more like tactical nukes and many battles still are determined through tactics and army size.

    Youjo Senki
    I remember this and I think I stopped at the Black Bow arc or was it the 3rd or 4th war arc? It was a good harem light novel. Worth reading, especially there are no actual OP characters and things are balanced.

    His Majesty's Dragon
    The story is set during an alternate-history version of the Napoleonic Wars, in which dragons not only exist but are used as a staple of aerial warfare in Asia and Europe. The dragons of the story are portrayed as sapientand intelligent, capable of logical thought and human speech. The series centers primarily on events involving Temeraire (the titular dragon) and his handler, Will Laurence. The first book of the series tells how Laurence, formerly a Captain in the Royal Navy, becomes Temeraire's handler, and of their early training in preparation for battles against Napoleon's aerial fleet.

    Closest ones that I could think of are mangas:
    Gunka no Baltzar
    Ad Astra: Hannibal to Scipio

    But for novel, if you don't mind a bit of fantasy, try Youjo Senki (WW1 tech, but i/o flying aces in fighter planes, you got flying mages here)

    Maybe my post was confusing, he has a backbone, he kills those who come to kill him and has no problem killing soldiers but he doesn't slaughter villagers. He is even willing to poison wells of his own villages to to stop invading armies even rhough it will destroy the livelihood of those villages for years (he feels bad about it and it is a hard decision but he still does it.)

    I hired a separate translator for it but that didn't work out.
    I have a translator who has college graduation to worry about who will be able to take over when the translator is done with it.
    Long story short, in the future but not anytime soon
