Shogun is pretty good, protagonist do have some white saviour moments and quite a lot of orientalism but the book is written good, so the author is invisible, and all that is put on a head of XVI century british sailor (for a XVI century British sailor Blackthorne is actually remarkably tolerant and open minded at least after Yabu and Omi explain to him he's not in England anymore). The book also make few important points about about christianity in Japan. Definitely low key anticolonialist.

Tai-pan is worse, but i read it long ago and don't remember much.
