I'm about 200 pages in and it kind of just feels like GoT type of shit. The historically accurate-ish parts are interesting but overall it feels shallow and relies too much on shock value and exaggerated samurai shit. In fact, this is the most unappealing portrayal of samurai culture I've come across. Makes them out to be inhuman brutes and fags oppressing peasants and living for power and violence. Does it get better?
The big white cock stuff was pure cringe.

What are some essential historical novels to read?

I thoroughly enjoyed Shogun, are the other books in the series just as good?

Will I learn anything about Japan and does it stay true to history or is this "The last samurai" type of shit?
