Koval Trilogy

The Koval Trilogy is a book series written by Viktor Koval and Hanus Koval. The books from the series: "Soldiers' Diary", "Lost Amid The Chaos: Street Revolution Diaries" and "Amid The Embers" belong among the most famous Korolian written works, especially of the newer age.
== Trilogy ==
The Koval Trilogy consists of the three books:
* Soldiers' Diary, set during the Second West March Contination War (1006-1018) within the I United Crowns of Syltör, more specifially Ryzan and Bardonia
* Lost Amid The Chaos: Street Revolution Diaries, set during the Crisis of the 58' within the II United Commonwealth
* Amid The Embers, set during the Novozemjan Civil War (1102-late 1100s) in what used to be Csardom of Korolia before said war.
Now the name "Trilogy" might be deceitful here as the three books do not share a coherent storyline. They're instead referred to as a trilogy, due to the combination of the two facts: first being that all three touch on the subject of the misery of a commoner during times of conflict (Slout from Soldiers' Diary is a drafted Nebskoslav, Viktor was a young middle class guy from Zlatoport, and Pavel was forced to join the Novozemjan Guard to survive), and second being that all three books are written by members of the same family, as first two were written by Viktor Koval, one of the most recognizable writers of Korolian modern era, and the third one, ironically arguably the biggest hit of them all, written by his grandson, Hanus Koval. Another thing that links the last two parts of the series is the same general location, but in two distinct times, separated by roughly half a century.
== Reception ==
=== Soldiers' Diary ===
Soldiers' Diary was released in 1026 ACA, so 8 years after the war ended, as an anti-war book. It's reception was positive, but relatively unremarkable, save for the fact that it managed to take off in Aurlûnor, something unexpected. It only began to gain traction in the years afterward, becoming a respected and known novel, and the pride of new era Korolian writing.
=== Lost Amid The Chaos: Street Revolution Diaries ===
Lost Amid The Chaos, premiered only by 1081, which makes it the one that's separated the most from its setting - 1058, in time, as it's separated by 23 years. The book was much more hyped than Soldiers' Diary on premiere, and immediately took off in 1081. It quickly overtook Soldiers' Diary in popularity, with renowned critics giving the book high ratings.
One thing in particular about LATC worthy of note is that it also multiplied the popularity of the Golden Tavern on modern day Korol Street (previously Letavski Street and Deitsch Street), as Viktor Koval was open about that he wrote many parts of the book at a table in the tavern.
=== Amid The Embers ===
On the contrary to LATC, Amid The Embers was released the closest to the actual the war, in 1113 ACA, which means that given that we assume the war ended in 1107 is 6 years, or if we stretch it to the longest interpretation, it might even be between 1-3 years after the war. Amid The Embers took off because it was yet another anti-war novel, however, compared to Soldiers' Diary, it already had the popularity of the previous two books to ride on, which allowed it to become the most sold non-newspaper printed work in the post-Civil War region of Nova Zemja. It also had massive sales in Czervoslavia-Veldion, and to a lesser extent in II United Crowns of Syltör and the rest of Syltör. 
=== KBook Impact ===
The entire trilogy also served as a huge boost for the KBook branch of KCorp, turning it into a viable branch again.

== Trivia ==
=== IC Trivia: ===
* Amid The Embers has become famous for exploring a new "genre", combining dark and somber themes, with stupid comedy, such as the jokes cracked by the Commander Andrej of the Novozemjan militia, or the main characters confusing their vehicle with another one due to heavy influence of alcohol.
* Hanus Koval was open about the fact that one of the motivations behind writing the last part of the "trilogy" was to finish his grandfather's work.
* Soldiers' Diary was one of the few foreign books that took off to such an extent in Aurlûnor.
=== OOC Trivia: ===
* The OOC reason for Soldiers' Diary to be written was similar to the IC one, but slightly different, as it was supposed to be mainly just a criticial piece against the UCS for reigniting the war.
* The books are relatively short by OOC standards due to the fact that the minecraft books on the server have the limit of 100 pages, and one page of an minecraft book is about 1/8th of a page in google docs
* The books have clues as to other minor worldbuilding quirks of the countries' mentioned hidden in them
