I love this book so much like it's close to my heart even though I want to reread it again and again I don't have the courage to do so😭

Reading "Since 1894 Captain Jeon" was the best thing that ever happened to me this year! Though I've been avoiding it for a year but I'm glad it kept showing up in my feed till I finally decided to readI will never forget the emotion I felt reading that book! It was euphoric..
I don't actually believe in love but this book has some other plans.. because now I fucking do!
I know the book has many loopholes and sometimes a few scenes felt unrealistic but if you read it with the feel that it's just a fic.. then maybe you'll feel what I felt.
Love is the best feeling in the world.. doesn't matter if it is one sided or reciprocated. I got to know that if you love someone truly, it doesn't honestly matter if they love you back or if they are with you physically.
I literally took only 16 hrs with break to finish for me and it had me bawling at the end at nearly 1 am..

This wasn't a fan fiction. This was a story that broke and healed something inside me. The first novel to make my cry non-stop for 2 hours after i finished reading. I love how they got their happy ending however i was still heart broken. I was heart-broken because it was their reincarnation that got the happy ending not their first life; they suffered so much and protected each other in that life and went through things to stay together however they never got their happy ending. Another thing was that for Taehyung it was a blink of an eye from 1894 to 2020 however, for Jungkook it was heart shattering 117 years of waiting. Forever a book that will stay in my heart until the end.

𝗧𝗶𝘁𝗹𝗲: 𝘚𝘪𝘯𝘤𝘦 1894 : 𝘊𝘢𝘱𝘵𝘢𝘪𝘯 𝘑𝘦𝘰𝘯
( AKA A Time Travel I’d Rather Not Revisit )
Rating: ★★☆☆☆
It’s been over six years since I became an ARMY, and just as long since I touched a fanfiction. Not because I hate them—just that, before anything else, I’m a reader. A real one. ARMY comes after that. So yes, I do judge.
Most fanfictions? They feel like recycled tropes with idol names pasted in like some expensive decorative sticker. You keep reading not for the plot, but because you love the faces in your head. Some fics are mid. A few are surprisingly good. And some… are like this.
I found Since 1894 randomly—from a real-life soldier quote post. And listen, I’m weak for war stories. I have infinite respect for soldiers, real or fictional. I searched it up on YouTube and was surprised by the amount of edits it had—cinematic, emotional, almost like a movie. My expectations shot up. I was ready to feel something. I hoped it would hit me the way that Jungkook gangster x secret agent fic once did.
What did I get?
Three days of reading and absolutely no memory of emotional engagement.
---
So, what exactly went wrong?
Our protagonist, modern-day Taehyung, accidentally travels back to 1894. Why? Because of a school assignment. Yes, a literal assignment. The universe gives him a chance to witness war for academic credit. Poetic, right?
Apparently, his mission is to find out what happened to Korea’s national hero, Captain Jeon. He saved the country, but no one—not even historians—knows how. So, how did he become a national hero with zero recorded achievements? Mystery of the century.
The entire plot felt like a disorganized salad of war drama, Scarlet Heart Ryeo cosplay (which, to be fair, the author cited as inspiration), and an awkward romance that I’ll talk about in a second.
---
Let's address the elephant in the room
I have no issue with LGBTQ+ representation. I’ve read some absolutely beautiful queer love stories that left me breathless. But this was not one of them.
Here, the romance felt forced. The chemistry was nonexistent. The spicy scene was uncomfortable, unnatural, and straight-up cringeworthy. And I’m not shy about explicit content—I throw my morals out the window for good spice. So imagine how bad it had to be for me to say: those pages needed to be ripped out and buried.

Emotionally? It failed.
And the ending? A complete mess.
It felt like the author went: “Sad ending? Nah—plot twist, let’s go happy!” But it was too sudden, too convenient, and emotionally flat.
The setting? 1894 Korea. At least, that’s what the blurb said. Aside from a few soldier routines and some dated vocabulary, the world-building was paper-thin. The spicy scene especially didn’t feel like it belonged in the 19th century. No realism, no nuance, no depth.
---
Now, let’s talk characters.
Taehyung.
Oh, Taehyung. Probably the most annoying version of fanfic Taehyung I’ve encountered. He time-travels to 1894, yet doesn’t freak out. Doesn’t panic. Doesn’t question reality.
He literally walks into a soldier camp thinking it’s a new class. Sees soldier beds. Still doesn’t compute. A soldier walks by? “Oops, wrong classroom.” No sense of alarm. No realism. Then, within minutes, he accepts his time-travel fate like it’s a field trip.
And despite war raging around him, despite being kidnapped, threatened, hunted, betrayed—he still acts like a modern teenager. Like… aegyo-level uwu. Even worse? He casually carries a dildo in his school bag like it’s a highlighter. I wish I were joking.
Jungkook?
Just your standard alpha male: strong, silent, kinky. Nothing new, nothing special.
The side characters?
A "coincidental" majority of them are gay. In 1894. In Korea. Realistic? Not even a little. If the story had acknowledged the societal danger and shown struggles of queer people in that time period, maybe. But no—everyone just happens to be secretly gay and conveniently paired.
---
Final Verdict:
I gave it 2 stars.
Why? Because I read it. And because BTS will always be emotional to me.
But the story itself?
Negative.
Infinity negative.

Don't look it as a fanfiction. It is a story which can easily be converted to a movie/k-drama if directors look into it! There were also a lot of inspirations from various k-dramas as well in here. Few loop-holes, but yet, readable!
