This novel is one of the best novels on this site. It follows a story of someone with modern knowledge thrust into a foreign world where he uses his wits to survive. The novel contains much political intrigue as it's rationale with the MC being unable to strongarm his way through most situations(politics look down on that sort of thing).

I've found this novel when searched for kingdom building novels. I'm writing this review (actually my first review here) because this frustrating "has not enough reviews" is unfair to this well written novel and I believe can deal harm and demotivate author. Unfortunately there is not so much of kingdom building currently (as of chapter 40), first book is focused more on introduction of characters, merchant stuff and brandy (you know the deal, as usual divine knowledge from the other world makes genius prince somewhat richer, in this case knowledge is about brandy but not only about it, though). Second book focuses on political stuff and... brandy. So far author delivered everything promised in synopsis and that is good. Surely there are some not very polished plot twists, background setting and story development, personally I find it unbelievable that there are no navigation instruments yet when there are lengthy sea travels and guns in the world. But whatever, it is fantasy world after all. First book covers about five years of main character life, but I didn't feel that story is rushed. Considering all things together there are no THAT BIG and obvious plot holes, character decisions seems logical and rational, fitting setting. There are different religions in this novel and they seem to affect politics. No much focus on cultivation as in the most Chinese novels with levels, qi and stuff. No gaming elements. Magic is not mentioned explicitly, however there is some kind of mysterious stuff I guess. Battle scenes are reasonably detailed, characters are powerful but not completely overpowered. No questionable romance, no harem, no all this crap, at least yet. No misogyny, though. As far as I remember there were no any female characters until last couple of chapters. BTW, chapters itself are lengthy enough. Overall this is one of the most interesting novels I've read on this site up to date. If you enjoy Release That Witch, Kingdom's Bloodline or Rise of the Lord, then you're likely to enjoy this novel as well, though this novel is different from the mentioned once.
