lwan_Abdurrahman Immense thanks for your review. As you recommended I will try to put up a glossary. I did hold up on it because I am still amidst worldbuilding and don't want to retcon things to often. As for your question about medicine and war strategy, I intend to reveal Alexander's past life piece by piece rather than by huge expo dumps. His extensive knowledge about medieval warfare and tactics will be revealed there. Also please remember that Alexander can only treat the wounded and not the sick ie- he treats physical injuries and not illnesses. Also his treatments would be considered beyond crude by modern standards but revolutionary for that time. Let me give you an example- Upto medieval times, doctors were little more than licensed butchers. Most of the time, their treatment such as blood letting caused more harm than good. Even uoto Victorian times they didn't believe in germ theory but believed illnesses were caused by bad air. Malaria is derived from the Italian word for "bad air." There were so many malpractices that a modern person following general knowledge can be a great doctor in ancient times.

Here is another one, this one is about character writing: _ About the character growth (found a guy said this, in the spoiler box): If you try to write character growth all in one chapter. Don't do that. Character growth is NEVER a 1 chapter thing. It's a 1 ARC thing. (8-40 chapters, depending on the book) forcing his character growth in 1 big change in 1 chapter, and then having him be fun for 7 chapters of action and experiments, and then 1 big chapter of a character change, is annoying and a trap a lot of young authors on here seem to fall into. If you aren't super good at character growth yet, that's fine. Just don't FORCE it into the story. Figure out where you want him to be, then write the plot backward on an outline with just major points if you want. So far I see trends developing that a LOT of other people fall into and don't try to stop and their stories die. ------------------------------------ Aside from that 'terrible writing advice' channe, you can also check other one like 'tropes talk' and check video like '10 Things "Nice Guys" Always Do WRONG' here. If you need more techique, idea and advice in some topic you can ask me here, I will try to find my spare time after work to find it for you (from my draft that collected over long time so have nearly every topic :D ), for now I very busy at work so can't tailor for you right now, but will give your novel a try soon (at least in weekend or next week)

Thanks for your advice. Really appreciate it. And I did watch TWA and all his videos....... multiple times. Especially loved his 'Apology Video' where he sarcastically claims the the objective of an apology video is not to apologize but monetize it. I also like ' Overly Sarcastic Production' and a bit of Shadeversity.

I got a few questions about the romance aspect of the story, if you are fine with answering them, since it is relatively important to me. How large do you plan on making the harem? Since this is a political/kingdom building story I assume many of the marriages will be for political reasons - will the MC and LI(s) actually love each other or will they just stay as political marriages?

Initially I was gonna make it very large, but now, I have decided to keep it manageable. I can't give you an exact number,.but each of the girls will have an unique personality and 'jobs'. You will understand the word as you read the story. So, whatever girls are added, and whatever interaction they have with Alexander, most will be colorful characters. At least all the girls up to now are so.

Yeah, most of the mistake with harem author is that they write more than 4 characters without even research real life relationship, chemistry and romance was like (not even how woman behave) then they dig themself further by keep get more harem member like collect bland ‘Pokemon’ here. P/s: do you know there are such thing as this ? ‘Urban Fish Ponds: Low-tech Sewage Treatment for Towns and Cities’
