I usually don't write reviews for novels, but the reviews in this novel honestly baffles me... disclaimer though, i'm a free reader so I only read the free chapters plus some more using those free chapters tickets. alright, the good stuff: 1. the MC is actually smart, for most of it anyway. the MC(and to a certain extent the author) understands that in order to keep power in the "modern" era, you have to give some of them away. history clearly points that an arrogant/out of touch monarch will just trigger a french revolution-like event, so those reviewers that said "the mc isn't arrogant enough" or "mc loves democracy" shouldnt be a leader in any type of organisation at all. author, i'd say you post this novel in the wrong website. 2. MC is actually not too into democracy that much. he understands thst autocracy/absolute monarchy won't be accepted anymore, because most superpowers already changed their monarchy type. now, the MC is ambitious, so rep democracy or republic will hinder him, but he understand that democraxy also has its ups and downs, so instead, he chose the constituional monarchy, so even though the emperor isn't really above the law anymore, he still holds most of the power. 3. Grammar is okay, alongwith the formatting. The bad: 1. the author sometimes made mc do weird things for the sake of the plot. like when he stayed waving to the people because "they never see him", then ended up getting shot in the chest. 2. cringy implied bro-con sisters, tsundere sister, japanese style personalities and romance, even though he's from russia and his fiancee is frkm bavaria. 3. the mc introduced the tech too fast imo, but i dont have the expertise on how logical it is, so it's just a nitpick for me. 4. now i might be racitr right here, but the people's demand in the earlier chapters seems too sophisticated for that time, but idk, maybeit's just me overall, it's a good story.

First I would like to tell that I'm not good at English so please bear my review. I've been looking for something new where a main character is transported to another world then do kingdom building. This hits right off the mark, the writing quality if great I think, I don't know how to judge it but it's great since I understand it clearly without making myself awkward while reading it. The story development, hmm since it's only 12 chapters I think it is going steady and not that a fast paced. I'm looking forward when the mc is crowned as an Emperor and have a wife because an emperor must have a queen to rule right? Character design, well I like Thomas Harrier, he is a rational and intellectual person but that personality was affected by Alexander de Romanoff, a body which he is currently possessing, a playboy and loves to fool around according to the description. He is loved by his emotional beautiful silver-haired sisters and Alexander also loves them. So whenever a emotional scene appears, Thomas is conflicted with emotion because he is acting like he is not used to before thanks to the influence of Alexander affecting him in a subconscious level. Well I don't know if the prince he's alive or not. As for Thomas Harrier's intellect, I'm looking forward of him inventing modern technologies. Since he is reincarnated in a world similar to the early twentieth century, I believe it's feasible to create computers like you know skip the vacuum tubes and build transistors for computers, build modern battleships with sonars and radars, build main battle tanks akin to the 1950s or 1960s, 1950s cars, electric appliances to further his economy. Oh, didn't I tell you that Thomas Harrier has a grasp of knowledge in medicine? I won't spoil much but in the early chapters, our main character is synthesizing a streptomycin, a cure for tuberculosis to save his little sister who is afflicted with the disease. So I am looking forward for him to modernize medicine and invent medical equipment as well and win Nobel prize for medicine or physiology. This is just me giving you ideas author~sama. After reading the last chapter, I feel that our mc will transition the Empire into a constitutional monarchy because of the pressure of the people. You better listen to your people if you don't want them to revolt against you. I don't know if this is considered a smart move or not but I will say anyway, listening to your people is a best way to revitalize your country as their the driving force of your economy, without people there is no nation. The antagonist of the story is not yet fleshed out, probably because is in it's early chapters so I don't expect much from them for now but please don't forget about them. I'm looking forward for our villain here. Based on the story, our mc is the prince of Ruthenia Empire, which is based off the Russian Empire. An empire with a lot of population, lands, mineral reserves, oil reserves, golds, diamonds and has a potential to be a world superpower if not only for the predecessor of Alexander Romanoff who misgoverned the country, leading it to its economic downfall leading to workers strikes, protest, and civil unrest. The stability of updates is great, two chapters a day is enough for me This is the first novel I've read where the setting is not in Germany, so it's refreshing. Enough with the German science is the best in the world, in this story, it will be the Ruthenia's science. I hope this novel won't get cancelled just because it is similar to Russian Empire. Because we all know the ongoing conflict with Russia and Ukraine. That's all have a good day author and may the god bless you ideas to further this novel. Long live the Emperor, long live Ruthenia! .
