The core story progression point in this novel is flawed. Lorne wows the king and his attendant with his analyses of current events in the world, despite the fact that it is impossible for him to know anything. The tavern he owns has no customers, as the author points out, while Lorne does not go out, or at least, it isn’t stated or even hinted. Lorne has no personality, heck, we aren’t even given a description of his physical features, ambitions or background. The explanations feel rushed, and aren’t substantial in any way. TL;DR this is a miss.

This is a slice-of-life series focused on the MC being treated as a genius because he was a history buff or else lived through that time period before. The chapters only consist of flattery and shock regarding his comments, even though they aren't world-bending concepts and would've been possible to figure out enough without him. The MC is a mystery. Considering he's not personally familiar with anyone there, it looks like he traveled through time to the past or something. Since the series mentioned transmigration, I thought he went to a world in a book that described history of this other world, but one of the readers commented that "transmigration" is a mistranslation here. If he had memories of his future sent to the past, then he'd have more relationships with people. If this world is in a book, then he'd have his own agenda. Therefore, it looks like he's a history buff that just traveled back in time. There's no mention of a family, so I guess he wasn't reincarnated but just appeared out of nowhere. Although the MC cooks excellent food, the food is never described in detail. In fact, the setting of the world and description of the appearances of various things is never given at all. I initially thought it was set to a place like Europe in the middle ages since western names were used and the king was implied to only have one wife. Later, the king has a harem filled with many wives and concubines rather than mistresses. Aside from the setting and world background having no information, the characters themselves have no details either. A couple of people are described as old while the MC is described as young. There is no information about their races or how they dress. There isn't even any culture described at all. This series is incredibly passive. The system would have been its saving grace since it could've added a plot, but it still hasn't appeared forty chapters in. There is no plot, and there isn't any story development. No female characters appear in the first forty chapters with the exception of one of the king's wives and her maids. She appears once. With no story development, no plot, no character design, and no world background, there's nothing to expect from this series. Once you read the first chapter, you've basically read them all. They all flow in similar ways. I can't imagine what the author was thinking while writing this.

Primordial Villain with a Slave Harem

Quinlan, a simple office worker finds himself transmigrated to an extremely dangerous fantasy land as a level 1 Commoner with nothing to his name but his wits - and a unique gift that accompanied his teleportation. No one in Thalorind could have predicted that this unassuming arrival would one day rise to the top, redefining the very meaning of the term 'power'... And that he may have achieved said result by joining a criminal organization and clawing his way through its ranks. In the beginning, Quinlan was painfully weak and alone but thanks to his severe trust issues, joining a team was... hard. However, he soon noticed that a lot of people have collars around their necks in this world... People that couldn't exactly betray him. Follow Quinlan's journey as he grows in strength, amasses wealth, fights to the death, and meets lovely ladies. ... Discord: https://discord.gg/bjunEkswQ3 ... After writing over 750 chapters, here’s what you should know: 1. About the beginning: The early chapters are a bit rough. I'm not saying that it's horrible, in fact, I believe the story to be very enjoyable right from chapter 1. But, at the end of the day, this is my first original novel, and I stumbled in some areas, especially with the MC's attitude. He's too reserved and occasionally too "simpy" with the first female lead. However, the MC grows into a confident, powerful, and composed figure. No long-term cringe. He becomes the kind of MC you want to root for. 2. Quinlan’s morality: He’s not a cruel, sadistic villain. Most of the time, he won't even be acting like a real villain, only when pushed to the limit. Meaning he won't torture puppies or civilians for fun while cackling manically. However, he’s greedy, shameless, and opportunistic. If the lives of his loved ones are at stake and he can only save them by burning a city with innocents inside down, he’ll do it. He's ruthless toward strangers when necessary, but doesn't delight in cruelty. 3. Regarding slaves: Yes, Quinlan becomes a slave master. However, he treats all his women—free or enslaved—with care and respect. 4. More than smut: Every love interest has a real story, a real presence. No girl will be left behind. As of Chapter 750, Quinlan has 7 lovers and a few more "in-development" love interests. This is not a "catch them all" story, adding one girl every 20 chapters. I prefer harems made up of girls with richly developed characters over giant harems full of shallow ladies. Quality over Quantity. 5. Balanced storytelling: My aim was to create a work where romance, action, and slice-of-life blend together naturally. There’s high-stakes action, power progression, romantic developments, comedy, and some chill downtime to let both the characters and the readers breathe. 6. Weak-to-Strong Progression: Quinlan will become OP. But he rises slowly, not overnight. His journey will hopefully feel earned. 7. Not every female character listed in the fandom is a love interest: Some women are important to the plot but are not part of the harem or a planned to be, such as his two mothers. 8. No Yuri. No NTR. That's it, thank you for taking your chance on my novel! I'll make a promise to you, showing how much I believe you'll love the novel if you get over the somewhat bumpy beginning! If you read 750 chapters and hate the story even after investing so much time into it, then you may burn me alive!
