Not really a cultivation novel. Most of the chapters are about schemes, so if you are into kingdom building and schemes this one is for you.

Wow, one of the better novels in all of WN most recent picks. It's a 'Transmigrated with a System' story but the focus on the system is very minor, so far I think there's been less than 200 words regarding the system. The type of system is also one that's entirely hands off, allowing the MC to actually have a life and further the plot without referring to it every three paragraphs. As for the MC, we finally get an intelligent, down to earth character that actually thinks before he acts rather than arrogantly throwing his ill-gotten power around and stomping on everyone. The MC plays the part of a wastrel third son of the powerful prime minister but does it in such a way that the readers dont just hate his guts and want to punch him in the face. As for the side characters, they actually show some depth and ambiguity. His father is intelligent, highly capable and kind hearted, but he purposefully fosters an image as a cold hearted and greedy official so as to not threaten the emperor and bring trouble on his clan. So much different than those of similar stories that will already be planning rebellion within the first 5 chapters rather than just moderating their actions. The Emperor is appropriately mysterious, being more than the arrogant, almighty figure we see in these novels. Even 39 chapters in I still cant say how much he knows, or how he really feels towards the MC and his dad. The female lead isnt the Mary Sue type I was expecting either. Yes she's a talented Martial artist and a competent general despite her young age, but those can all be expected given that her father is a great general and raised her in that manner. Despite this, she also shows some flaws and a believable lack of competence when she tries to deal with the city guard the same way as with soldiers on the battlefield. Also rather than the author dancing around the issue and having both her and the MC be ignorant of the others feelings, they both quickly realize that neither want to marry the other and actually talk things out before agreeing to somewhat work together on the matter. All in all, these first 39 chapters have been beyond excellent and I hope it keeps that way after the story is picked up.
