Good. Has wuxia elements but tries to stay as realistic as possible to real world conflict (medieval in this case). Characters each have "life" in them and supporting characters can sometimes have disagreements with the MC and do not neccesarily obey the MC without question. Each have their own motivations or agendas making each of them unique in terms of personality. Antagonists are sharp and quick witted, they are not dumb but are cautious, callous, cunning and always try to read the situation and act accordingly. MC though appears mature still acts as according to his age, he still feels guilt or remorse from first time experiences ie. first campaign. All in all it is a promising story, the release of chapters is decent and pace of the story is just right.

Pretty interesting so far. Bit of a break from a main lead who doesn’t have a cheat system, item or sage grandpas whispering in their ears with secret knowledge or techniques from reincarnating etc. only around 25 chapters out so far, but it’s pretty good, and chapters are lengthy so that’s a plus. It’s a promising novel to keep an eye on. I recommend this novel

This stroy deserves to be on the top rankings, unfortunately it is so underrated. The story is about King Building and Political Intrigue, and I understand not all audinces are keen to read such novels, but for me it is a fresh retreat from all those wish fullfilment cultivation and SYSTEM novels. Rise of The Lord has a solid cast and powerful world building. It does not over explain the ******st stuff just to make for the word count and the author believes in "Show not Tell". It has no over-the-top fights that are impossible to wrap my head around and no cheat sudden strength gains that change the entire dynamic every dozen chapters or so. Some of the MC's decisions annoy me, but again that only proves the author's abilities as I believe those actions are meant to annoy us readers. Again, it is a kingdom building novel with medieval era fights with cavalries and stuff. There is no toppling mountains and overturning seas level character, though there will be a few powerful figures. However, even they have to succumb to the strength of numbers. In concluion, it is a good novel. Try it.

I have until chap 20 and I think that so far this novel has been perfect. The Mc is intelligent but not overpowered which is great for the story. He mostly uses his witty to solve his problems. Another point is the kingdom building aspect which I always enjoy but very few novels do.

The story has been interesting to read so far. I noticed your Warrior system is heavily based on Tales of the Reincarnated Lord, which is fine. I hope you let the kingdom building and political intrigue in this story happen gradually. The only decent kingdom building web novels which I've seen are Release that Witch and Tale of the Reincarnated Lord. Both are pretty popular but weren't my cup of tea for one reason or another. The focus on an industrial revolution in medieval times kind of pushed me away from Release that Witch, it defeated the purpose of reading a story in a medieval setting with magic. In Tales of the reincarnated Lord, it was a hard time remembering all these provinces with weird names, glazed over summaries of battles and *cough* depiction of women *cough*. Anyways I'm just giving you this rating to encourage you to keep writing since a thorough review is difficult this early in the story.

It really draws you in. Definitely recommended to read. I especially like how the kingdom building is done without reincarnation, transmigration, time slip or a 'system'. Which is actually kind of hard to find and seems to be a crutch for a lot of novels. The world building is also nice just the right amount at the right time. But I guess just for me I kinda want to get to know the main character more. I feel like we only know the surface of him in comparison to some other characters but this is by ch72 at lest. But still love so far.

Thanks for chapter. I really like the novel since it is a kingdom building which is more interesting. But it needs stability updates at least 1 chapter a day to increase rank. A good novel will be buried at the bottom if no chapter to read!!!

Finally, a well-written kingdom building novel, a protagonist that control the wars from his study without any superpower. The development of the story and the different characters is constant throughout the story. There aren't any big twists, it is a story that keeps going with its simplicity.

I Can Copy And Evolve Talents

Across the vast convolution of worlds, divine beings rule as absolute sovereigns—each god assigned dominion over a singular realm. Skirmishes are inevitable, whether for power, amusement, or sheer pettiness. One such battle, between Nexus, the God of Trickery, and an aging, senile deity, resulted in an anomaly… A soul misplaced. Elliot, an ordinary man, was never meant for Ul’Tra-el. But fate, or perhaps a cosmic prank, had other plans. Unlike other worlds, Ul’Tra-el is an aberration—one that developed a voice. A voice that diverged from the natural order. A voice that changed everything. Its foundation cracked, leaking dimensions into one another. Rifts tore open like festering wounds, vomiting forth unspeakable horrors—monsters not meant to exist. But the world did not sit idly by. In response—perhaps an act of self-preservation—the world gifted its inhabitants power. Talents awakened, granting people extraordinary abilities. And for every rift sealed, the Voice of Ul rewarded them generously. Survival was simple: fight, grow stronger, and close the rifts… or die trying. In this ruthless, blood-soaked reality, Northern—a white-haired boy burdened by his past life—was reincarnated. But unlike the chosen heroes, he awakened as a talentless nobody. No power. No strength. No future. And when death loomed over him—when despair clawed at his soul and the cold grip of the failure threatened to take him— A Voice responded: [System Notice] [Your Soul cannot take a form.] [Searching for a Unique Pattern Ability…] [Searching…] [Search Found.] [A Unique System Ability has been detected.] [You Can Copy And Evolve Talents] ... Follow Northern through his journey as he becomes the pinnacle of this world. This a story about a white-haired boy’s rise from rubbles!! Note: This is an overpower genre but MC does not just start off like that. Even though MC can copy talents he doesn't just jump around copying talents because there's a limitation. However, his rise to strength is depicted and is an experience to enjoy. The first few hundreds would be frustrating to follow because MC is weak but that makes the experience all the more interesting when MC finally gets freaking strong and starts wiping the floor with everyones asses.

Reincarnated To Evolve My Bee Empire

"Now, go forth, my mortal champion! Conquer this world—or else!" I lived a painfully average life and died by a stupid, stupid accident, but a goddess interfered, giving me a second chance in another world. There, I became royalty—the lazy kind with almost no obligations, free to live in peace and luxury for the rest of my days. Sounds like a dream, right? In reality, it was anything but—because I became *BEE* royalty. A Drone Bee, doomed to die of old age in 2 months! (A humanoid bee, thankfully, but still a bee in all the ways that matter.) The only way to increase my lifespan is to develop and grow my bee colony—a deadly task in a vicious world like this one. There are murderous insect monsters, colossal beasts trampling the earth, other civilizations, natural disasters, and the bitchy patron goddess who absolutely hates me. But as long as I have my brains, my bees, and the powerful genes my system gives me, my Bee Empire will be unstoppable! === For those who want to know more: This is a wholesome comedic story, but it has some dark moments. The focus is on kingdom building, survival as an empire, and interacting with MC’s beautiful bee wife and adorable bee daughters. The bees are all humanoid (see pictures) and human-sized. However, they are still bees in their ways of life and mentality. Although there’s a system, real growth comes from putting effort and time. Nothing happens in an instant in this story, unless it’s trouble. MC acts like an idiot sometimes (oftentimes), but he’s not actually stupid-stupid. When it comes to strategic decisions, he uses logic and reason. Even if you might disagree with it. Also, there will be no smut (ecchi is a fair game), incest, NTR, harem or BL. === Discord is up! Find it at -> https://linktr.ee/Garessta Updates: 2 chapters/day, right after the reset (with a 5% chance of running late). Reply to author's pinned review if you have questions. Also, although I realize the futility of this aim (at least right now), if this novel reaches top 15 golden ticket ranking (and stays there for a few days, obv), I will mass release 10 extra chapters! (within 30 calendar days)
