Mine is an untranslated Korean novel which is a fusion of Western (American) historical fiction (like around the era of the Gold Rush, 1850s+), isekai, and military/paramilitary fiction with a splash of BG romance (no harem thankfully).

It actually treats the concept of anti-Asian racism, slavery, and racism against blacks really well. The author must have researched a shitload on that era of history, but they never used the lame method of info-dumping that is common with some webnovels. I've haven't really enjoyed historical fiction before, but this author is extremely good at making every single character interesting. The MC is OP but it's pretty believable, and he has to deal with racism issues constantly so it's not like he's omnipotent.
I'm pretty sure this will get a webtoon in the future, which I'm looking forward to. It's basically done with the updates I think at this point, the last time I checked, the author was updating the extras/side stories.
If you want to know how I read it, I use the DeepL extension on Chrome browser, but I think it also has an app version. It works better than Google Translate imho.
