So this is the first review I write on this, even if I liked a book I usually couldn't be bothered, so that should tell you something about how much I love this. (Should also let you know not to expect a Times critique) (as of chapter 104) Let's get the boring stuff out of the way and talk about the writing itself. It's quite good, for this site it's even top-tier. The worst you'll get is a couple typos and a missing word, there is sometimes some grammatical hickups but it's so slight that most won't catch it and nobody really would care. Another person reading before posting or maybe a good program could probably smooth the few rough spots but it's not really needed. Now about the pacing. I think it's as good as you can get with this type of story. It's something very subjective but in general the story feels like it walks when it needs to but will run when it's appropriate, I haven't felt like it crawled or sprinted at any point and in here that's rare. The world building so far is good. We started with a concrete view of a village and a hazy outlook of a kingdom and 100 chapters later we're very familiar with the kingdom (for obvious reasons), we have an idea of the bigger empire and the world at large is slowly coming into focus. I will say that a bit more detail would not be unwelcome, for exemple with the power system of the world but it feels intentional so that we don't put fixed "power levels" on the summons and so that the author can reveal it little by little. The main character, well the best way to say it would be : He makes sense. He was a normal guy and everything changed suddenly and you feel it. He adapts (arguably a bit too fast but I like it and it's well within what's possible) but he still has hangups and he's far from perfect. (as the author said multiple times at the start read until chapter 20 before shouting "beta!") Now, what is usually the biggest problem with "summoning type" stories, the character development. Well this thankfully doesn't fall into the hole of cardboard personalities. Most of the important characters have been developed and not just the summons. And even if we don't get a lot about a character you can feel that it's coming and it just needs a bit more time. Obviously it's never going to be super detailed because summoning means a lot of characters and we would need 1000 chapters to progress if we explained the why's of everything and everyone. BUT it feels natural. The last part will be the romance. Yes it's a harem, a big one at that, but before you leave know that the author has found a good balance between "pokemon" and "100 chapters for a kiss". The relationships are fast but you feel the....well feels. The s*x comes after some delibaration but it makes sense. And anyway while it's a big point in the story it's not the main one. Which brings me to my conclusion. I would call this a "Jack of all trades" with a general focus on kingdom-building type of story, any element by itself would be ok but all together, well "often better that a master of one". TL;DR It's good. Read it.
