So, you seriously don't consider the Mahabharata, which is a historical chronicle, but you do take a fantastical novel, "Black Balмут," based on it, which distorts the historical facts described in the Mahabharata (simply reading which gives a person great benefit in various spheres of their life), seriously.

Historical chronicles? Sure. That is, 2 armies with a total of about 4.5 million people at the end of the 4th - beginning of the 3rd millennium BC, or 99 sons of one king, are historical facts? This is at least an exaggeration.
And regarding the "noble, generous, and devoted kings," as well as "women of heavenly beauty, full of chastity and famous for their fidelity," one can argue.
But "Black Balмут" is at least fun. Sometimes.
