I know what you mean, it is very hard to store that information in your RAM, never mind save it to disk. I thin Chinkenese is like trying to store 16bit into 8 bit memory.

These are still more easily read than quite a few European languages' names. Go through lists of Roman, Celtic, Greek, French, and German/Germanic names, and you'll find plenty of difficult, long-winded names. There are also other languages, and even English language names and surnames are not exempt. Try looking at old Anglo-Saxon names, too.

At least Chinese monarchs don't have repetitive names and when they do repeat, they put the name of their dynasty beside it (i.e. Gaozu, Gaozu of Tang)

Meanwhile Eurokings be like:
>John IX, John II, Henry V, Henry II.
>Btw we also have a Henry IV and they also have Henry IV.
Seriously, the fuck.

>OHHH CHING CHONG DING DONG PING PONG
Then there's a minor civil war that causes millions of peasants to starve to death because they reproduce like insects. Rinse and repeat.

Just stop reading at the fall of Qin, skim the parts where Great Britain makes an appearance, shake your head at the retarded Christian TaiPings, and then just resume reading at the fall of Qing. Problem solved.

The only part of Chinese history I find interesting is 1890 to 1978.

I am not sure why but this period really interests me, mostly because of the what ifs involved.

Also it's easier to remember people's names in this period because they all have a photo attached.

Speaking of this, why is Elizabeth styled Elizabeth II? There was no Elizabeth I of Scotland or Northern Ireland or Canada or Auatralia. She was never queen of the United Kingdom either.

They should have tone marks, regardless the tones are a fucking meme as they speak so fast that they dont really use them unless they realise the sentence may be confusing so they stress the tone.

2nd gen Chinese diasporas usually hate china because of western politics, lack of translated chinese media and other things. Everyone of them I've met are miserable fucks that tries to act black because there are no asian role models in western society.

I believe the Kingdom of England is the superior title that went into the United Kingdom and so monarchs are counted from that point onward. It's like how the Charleses or the Jameses are known by their English regnal numbers instead of their Scottish regnal numbers.
