Introduction
Hello! Many of you know me as King Magax from the Kingdom section of the mangafox forums. I mainly do summaries on the latest Kingdom chapters based on Chinese translations as well as research and translate historical information on the Era of the Warring states that Kingdom is based on.
If you are a fan of the Kingdom manga like me, which is most probably why you are here, feel free to explore this site and learn more! Do note that you might encounter historical spoilers for Kingdom around this site.
Here are some pages on this site I would recommend:
- Kingdom-pedia： Historical facts on Kingdom characters and storyline (SPOILERS)
- Kingdom Guidebook 2: The second official Kingdom guidebook
- Kingdom Guidebook 3: The third and latest Kingdom guidebook. (Working in progress)
- An Investigation of Qin General, Li Xin: A translation of an academic journal article on Kingdom’s main character in China’s history (SPOILERS)
- Timeline of Kingdom Events: A timeline of events from the first year Ei Sei/Ying Zheng became king up till unification of China. Useful for comparing with the manga events and predicting future events. (SPOILERS)
- Kingdom one-shots: Two of the one-shots done by Hara-sensei on the background stories of three of Kingdom’s characters. (SPOILERS)
- Misc. Kingdom Stuff : Everything else about Kingdom you might not know of. Including interviews with Hara-sensei, promotional works, random facts etc.
If you have anything to tell me, including feedbacks, fixing dead links, updating of information or pretty much anything at all, feel free to drop a comment or type it in the chat on the right sidebar!

Hey Magax, first and foremost how have you been in these chaotic times?
I would like to ask you, do you know if what is written on this site is historically true or not:

Thank you in advance and I wish you all the best.

Fortunately I am doing ok with at least a stable income and a healthy body despite the chaos around the world.
The article seems largely true except the following:
– I don’t think Wang Jian’s origin was mentioned anywhere. I could be wrong but his first appearance was his victory at Ye (Gyou). The paragraph about his early life and assisting the Qin king and Fan Ju was not recorded in Shiji and I would be happy to read the sources about this
-We have little to no info about Wang Jian and Wang Ben post-unification. Last I know is that Wang Jian and Meng Wu went south to fight the southern barbarian tribes. They could have resigned or may have just been forgotten in history due to the lack of wars. We do know that Wang Jian’s grandson Wang Li was defeated by the rebel army near the end of the Qin dynasty.

Hey Magax, how you’ve been?
Its Ascot from TMF, anyway the forum is still down so I wonder if you know of any alternative for me to follow the releases and discussions like another forum or discord server.
Thanks anyway, great job as always!

Hey Ascot, I do lurk around Kingdom’s subreddit(https://www.reddit.com/r/Kingdom/). Quite a number of discussion there daily. You can also find the link to the discord server there(https://discord.gg/Kingdom). I am not an active discord user in general so I did not join the Kingdom discord. I am sure you will find many Kingdom fans over there!

It’s a good excuse to go back for a reread :P. In fact i recently finished the Gyou arc all the way from the beginning of the arc. Feels real good to finish an arc from the beginning to end in 3 days instead of reading the weekly chapters

Do you know more about Qin and Wei vs Chu in 235? Ive read online that Chu won and that Qin was lead by general Xin Wu (no idea who it is)?
LikeLike
I know about Qin-Wei war against Chu but I dont think there is any record of who won the war. Xin Wu’s name is only recorded in a book that was discovered recently in a dig site. I doubt Hara will pick up this name since there may not even be Japanese translation of that book. There were no record of Xin Wu’s name in the other major records like Zhan Guo Ce or Shi Ji

Well, I guess that will give Hara some creative freedom.
Thanks!
