I made the 5 star review because i am confused with WN review system. 1. So let's start with "democracy" that many people feared. No, the MC didn't just relinquished his power in the government like how the UK monarch and most constitutional monarchy did. (If some of you has some confusion with the definition constitutional monarchy, it's basically a monarchy based on the constitution. So you can write whatever the F you want in that constitution, and if the majority or every single one of the top brass of the country agrees, you can effectively become a dictator.) So in this story, what the MC wrote in the constitution is that he made himself the executive of the government, commander in chief of the armed forces, etc. Just imagine the power of any president that acts as their country executive branch with the difference of no election or terms since the MC is the king. He needs to abdicate or dead. The democracy exist only in the legislative branch. 2. Next I saw a criticism that there is only 1 royal guard. If you read it carefully, the MC got tons of guards surrounding him. Of course they would only be mentioned in 1 phrase or sentence. The one guy that is always with him is the chief of royal guards, so he had the rights to be present wherever the MC is. 3. Personal life of MC. Nothing special happened, the characters involved exist for the sake of existing, especially the love interest. 4. The reformation in labour. I have seen many people criticized this part saying it's too radical and doesn't make any sense. Yes I do agree it's very radical considering the era of the story, however it's necessary to be done to appease the hungry and angry citizens. The thing that is a pity would be that there is not much explanation on the consequences of such radical reform. The author just glossed over it and make it seems like there is no fight from the capitalists. Similar thing happened when the MC reformed the regional government, changing it from viceroyalties to electoral positions like we know in most countries. 5. How the MC run the government. The main thing of how the MC do his job is that he would do anything to ensure the safety of his empire, family, and citizens. He didn't really care about other countries and their citizens. It can be seen with the war against yamato arc or him sending 2 fighter jets with air to ground missiles to destroy stolen military vehicles in a village. 6. Finally it would be grammar and writing in general. I don't have much to say in this since I don't have much knowledge in writing. So I have no complain on grammar. However on the writing side, I am confused with the title of the MC. In some part he was mentioned as "Emperor" and in some other parts it was "Tsar". Please make it consistent. Final score: 6.5-7.5/10
