This is mostly true but I will state that as a communist one of my major stories I'm working on does have heroic monarchs in it.
To be fair this story is something I've been working on since before I became communist, and I've added revolutionary themes to it since, but the main "heroic monarch" character is one I created after becoming a communist. Like to be clear she's a heroic monarch in a society where feudalism is every country, and I plan for the world the story takes place in to go through historical materialism stages of development over time. She's a proactively progressive character that makes positive developments for the society she rules. She's also one of my favorite characters I've developed.
But ngl I do kind of like Gambo/CKII dynastic stuff aesthetically and one of my two major works features it heavily. And features characters that are part of dynasties that are better or worse than others. And also feudal countries that are more progressive than other ones in the world.
I do worry that i'm letting my special interest make me too ideologically incoherent but its the story I wanna write so
