Napoleon Bonaparte's story sounds so unrealistic that if he had never existed and you wrote a book about him people would call it the most ridiculous Mary Sue plot ever (after Empress Theresa, of course)
>So uhm my protagonist was born to a piss poor family on Corsica and had no connections and no money
>During the French revolution he became an artillery officer and he was so good that he was promoted to captain at 23 and to general at 26
>He then spent years fighting European superpowers on behalf of the revolutionary government and he won literally every single battle
>He then overthrew the government, became the emperor of France and got the pope to crown him in Rome
>He then continued fighting European superpowers and winning literally every single battle, and had to retreat only because his supply lines were broken
>He then sadly lost for the first time in his life but the European monachs couldn't kill him because the entirety of France would revolt, so they banished him to an island instead
>He then came back to France, and every single French army that was sent after him refused to shoot and joined him instead
