Are there any Asian fantasy books in a similar vein as "A Song of Ice and Fire," preferably written by someone more competent than GRRM? ASOIAF is bogged down by lousy writing from a mechanical standpoint, but I do like the idea of seeing the story of an empire being told through many perspectives.
I think it would be cool to see something like the Warring States period or the rise of the Shogunate put through a fantasy filter the way GRRM did with the War of the Roses.
If such a novel does not exist, please go write one. I want to read it.

There is always Legend of the Galactic heroes, it is sci-fi but heavily inspired by three memedom wars. Hard to say it is "game of thrones in space" but they are similar in realism aspect, albeit logh takes a bit more romantic approach.
2/10 novels are translated into English, they are okay albeit not great, there is also the animu which is considered a classic.

Thanks, I'll check it out. Is it worth reading the books first, or is the animu that better?
>>8277144

Anime is great, I mean 9/10 great. The major disadvantage is that is made in late 80s-90s so visually it is not great, but besides that the plot the characters etc are praised. I would Start with anime, watch it in the order of the pic related.
Reading the book afterwards is nice, there are some details that are missing in anime that are included in the book. Not plot crucial elements, but it is nice to read them after the anime. It also shows how detail oriented the anime was.
