The fact that this has a review from 1 year ago makes me assume update stability is bad. There is a refreshing normal MC who isn’t op and dense right off the bat. Book has promise if it wasn’t dropped by the author

Ugg there are def lulls … the author does a lot of filler rehashing so far (I’m around ch 100). He likes to desscribe, remix the previous explanation, and then rewrite is in a different way. The wtory is interesting but the pacing feels off … like he’s farming coins for filler.

As someone who is very picky with his Kingdom Building novels I can say that this novel is likely in the top 3 I've ever come to read, I've seen so many that I can say with confidence that this hits the spot for detailed and completely focused on solely the kingdom building aspects, be they military, diplomacy, economics, sociology and does it in the best execution of said theme I've seen so far. The world is understandable, but has enough going on that it doesn't feel constricting, It feels like it has been lived in, with history and stories for every part in it, the fantastic elements bringing even more potential to the development of the world, being taken seriously and with very thoughtful details. The story is a journey of a son of a noble rising among his peers, he is usually strong among his own level, but what really sets him apart is his understanding of the world, the do and don't of high society and how to always benefit himself most in his own situation, he isn't making big revolutions, but taking gradual steps towards the peak where he can show more and more his modern knowledge to do better than his peers, he isn't a conservative who keeps ignoring the knowledge he has for the sake of safety but knows when and how to implement it masterfully. This is not a xianxia, but has elements of high fantasy, just that it is strictly demanding to achieve and usually not economical to do so, making the mundane elements still very important, industry has the tendency of incorporation of magic in it, and class behavior is very obvious everywhere you look (different countries are diverse in how they work, some more feudal and others more modernized, it even is a central plot point in the novel) Who should read this: those who want pure unadulterated Kingdom Building, not being give as a little spice for the story but as the whole meal. This is a must read for Kingdom Building fans, and you will regret passing it up for long after reading even 40 chapters in, it also gets better the more you read and understand the world, no need to worry about quality drop.

"Now you see?" she shouted in a tone that was somewhere between annoyance and disappointment. "You can’t outsmart Scrients! They’re the most intelligent beings across the two realms!" "You’re right," I muttered, averting my gaze with a solemn sigh. "I made a mistake. I was arrogant to think a mere human like me could fool them." —BOOM!! "...Wh-What was that?" "Hmm? I’m not sure. Maybe you should go and ask the most intelligent beings across the two realms. Oh wait! You can’t. I killed them all." --- My name is Samael Kaizer Theosbane. On the last day of high school, I got into a fight with a kid I used to bully. It was a stupid and pointless scuffle. And in the middle of it, I tripped and smacked my head on a rock. That’s when the memories came flooding in… Memories of a different life. Memories of another world. Suddenly, everything made a twisted kind of sense. I realized two things. First: I was inside a game I used to play in my past life. Second: I was a villain. A villain! Not the cool, mysterious, tragic kind either! No, I was the worst kind of cliché — a spoiled, insufferable, and arrogant young master. The sort you'd find in those poorly written fantasy stories. You know the type! The one everyone hates. The one the hero would beat into the ground to show everyone just how strong and righteous he is. Yeah. I was that guy! My fate was to be a stepping stone for the main characters, be manipulated by a Demon Prince, and die a dog's death. And the hero? The hero was the same kid I’d been bullying all this time. The one I just got into a fight with. He was supposed to be the savior of this damned world. A world teetering on the edge of destruction, beset by wars, calamities, and a grim future that only I knew. And waiting at the end of it all was the final antagonist. The unbeatable nightmare. …The Spirit King. But could I even make it to the end? Could I really survive in a game where defeat was the only certainty? A game that had now become my reality? “Ah, fuck it.” I had no idea if I could. But I sure as hell was going to try. Extorting extras, manipulating main characters, altering the story to my advantage, stealing the hero’s cheat items, killing villains long before they could become threats — nothing was beneath me. Would the main characters be affected by my actions? Excellent! Would the story change? Even better! All I cared about was me. My survival. My life. My choices. “I’ll live this life with no regrets.” ...But as I soon discovered, fate wasn't so easily changed. And the price of rewriting your destiny was steep. ========== Discord Server: https://discord.gg/VjFQtDUaTR
