The author's historical ranting.

I've read three volumes so far, and the story is really good, but can't the author go at least one chapter without mentioning figures like Machiavelli, Sun Tzu or other historical tacticians? Sometimes the novel takes five pages to cite some a real life source, when it could be done on one page with author's own words. It is important to explain motifs behind character's actions, but it's like the creator thinking he's using his 'superior knowledge' of historical tacticians and feeds his knowledge to readers like they were infants that just learned to walk and know nothing.

If I wanted to know more about medieval/ancient tactics I'd go to directly read the book author loves like 'The Prince' or other reliable source, not light novel, which main purpose is entertainment. Obviously it's my own personal opinion.

Do you think it's a good thing that this light novel tries to go into educating people about something they don't necessarily want/have a need to know?
