Take for example the country's famine problems. The author's explanation is that the increased demand for cotton caused by the Demon King's expanding territory resulted in a increase in the price of cotton. As such, farmers stopped producing grain and started producing cotton which resulted in a famine.
This is nonsense. As the supply of grain falls just as with cotton the price of grain would increase. The inverse would then occur with cotton. As the farmers flood the market with cotton the price would fall. When this happens the farmers would start producing gain again. Unless they're price controls on grain or the cotton is some kind of mythical giffen good I can't see how any famine would result because of an increase in the price of cotton.
First of all The story is really good, nice pacing and the arcs are well done, it’s a frame-up style which consist of at least 3 chapters to resolve a story, most of all the characters are interesting at the same time it’s one of the few unique novel out there which focuses on Domestic Affairs, Economy, Realistic Philosophy, Civil and World War, and many more, it’s not the same typical Weak MC gets Transfered and becomes OP, the best here is that It’s Realistic. The use of Literature techniques and the Individual Elements are well done, it’s almost Flawless since the only problem in this series was the slow release of translated chapters.
The Characters are all well rounded, most of them are not unique but they are exceptional to others. The Protagonist Souma can be considered a Cheat MC, despite of trying to have a chill life, he’s unexpectedly informative and probably the problem is that He’s too intelligent that supporting characters can’t compete against him, at least every character has its own spotlight. The Supporting characters are really good, not unique but also not flat one dimensional characters, they change too and they do unexpected things which balances the story, even the antagonist are well done and only few are foolish. Most of them are memorable and unpredictable.
Who can’t enjoy this one, if there are, then they are probably mindless people who enjoys typical series or the people who are trying to act intelligent that demands to nerf the protagonist, well the only problem that I’ve seen is the Overpowered Intelligent Protagonist, nothing more than that. This novel is not Flawless, but it was able to point out realistic development with the plot convenience of living in fantasy world. I’ve enjoyed this a lot since it’s really intelligent and there’s so much famous references made by historical icons.
[Post Review Edit]
This is my post review after reading up to latest chapter (c3c5). My overall impression didn't change that much from the beginning but it has become less impressive in the recent chapters as of this late, at the very least, the "Harem" genre was tackled in political way.
I will point out some flaws in this novel as of now since I was not able to point it before, first of all, it's the 'smooth' and 'flawless' easy way of story telling in which plot convenience was used too much, so many problems was solved easily, it was so easy that I don't expect any threats or suspense in this story. Well it's more of a "Slice of Life" with "Politics" not a "Practical Political Novel" (unless you want to see Donald Trump's action hahaha). But it does not mean it's not possible to happen since the smooth political story was actually happening in my country (the awesome mother freaking Philippines) So I don't think having a smooth easy way of telling a political story was a problem, but I don't think it's entertaining enough for me unlike in my country or some country who loves "populism" like USA, France, Germany, United Kingdom, Hungary or others. The Second flaw was the shallow characters which is quite predictable in this novel, they may be not typical compared to other Japanese novels, but it does not mean they have a big difference. As of now the only unpredictable characters I know was Prince Gaius VIII of Amadonia Principality and General, the Lion-faced beastman, Georg Carmine. They are so Manly that their Deaths was too good to ignore, while Gaius was a fool most of the time, but his death was a philosophical one trying to become the sole villain to all the sins of his country to prevent the Wrath of the Empire, while Carmine died to remove corruption of the noble corruption with him as a criminal in the history, both died Protecting their country, and both branded as a villains of their country. Third flaw was the introduction of entertainment industry, communication and technological advancement, the story has so much moments about the entertainment industry copying the media system service like the television always do, and there's a big difference on developing the communications and technologies, not that it's a demand (since a demand in a story is not a criticism) but there was too much entertainment that even after the war, the entertainment industry has become the biggest priority in this novel (to be honest I don't know whether this is a political novel or an Idol Novel) that it was again tackled in the latest chapter (c3c5). It's not a problem for me though since this is the only novel I know that uses entertainment industry in a Japanese fantasy novel.
So far the 'realism' still in the element of the story, and the philosophical aspect of this story was still better than most of the novels (even the biggest classic novel "The Legend of the Galactic Heroes" which was praised by the elitist of the Anime Community for its classic themes and Political views along with the military strategy and romanticize elements) and this novel relies heavily on some of the most prominent people in the history like the Machiavelli's philosophy and Sun Tzu's art of war. For now It still deserves '5 out of 5' stars as a recommended novel, but I will rate it as '7.75 out of 10' for my personal judgement (one to five stars is few for me to rate this novel) And if you're planning to read it, treat as a "Slice of Life" Novel not as a "Political Novel"
Totally Recommended along with Ookami to Koushinryou, Rakuin no Monshou, Common Sense of a Duke’s Daughter, Maoyuu Maou Yuusha and Juuni Kokki, most of them are intelligent fantasy.
"OH I KNOW! LET'S DO SOME PAPERWORK!"
"GENIUS!!!" Outside of paperwork and sleeping, the MC also likes to engage in discussions about politics and economics. Such EXCITEMENT! I just can't WAIT to read another chapter about fantasy world politics and economics. These are the contents of a typical chapter: - Discussions between political leaders about such exciting topics as sustainable forest management
- Introductions to random side characters whom we do not care about
- Descriptions of picnics, particularly food and lap pillows (I sh*t you not)
- Descriptions of road construction I can go on, but I think you get the point.
For example:
The country is in famine and nobody knows why. Then the MC comes and tells that the reason for the famine is because they cultivate cash crops instead of food. The princess is extremely shocked, falls to her knees and realizes that the kingdom needs his wisdom and that she would offer him her chastity to bind him to the kingdom.
Another example is with the arrogant dark elf. The MC tells her that the dark elfes should thin out their forest so that the forest stays healthy. She immediatly prostrates before him and gives him her body and chastity.
The only moment I felt that the MC is smart was when he did paperwork offscreen.
He uses the emergency communication device as entertainment tv for the people and everybody is extremely thrilled.
I don't even want to write about his evaluation about the fat guy who is supposed to be extremely important. Seriously he is not fit to be a king. Maybe a good office worker but thats it. In conclusion I would say that the main problem with this novel is that an average author wants to create a smart MC and his only mean to achieve that is to let the side Characters be dumb which lets the whole thing seems forced upon us.
I understand that the MC is boring on purpose, with almost no discerning characteristic for the purpose of self-inserts so I'll let that slide but for the rest of the characters, the author basically just gave each a description of their appearance and a specific trope for their character and called it a day. Also the MC is a huge creep, as well as the author. Every relevant girl introduced in this story is some really attractive young woman (or girl) and the author will go on to describe how curvy, cute or beautiful they are. The MC even goes to describe his mother-in-law (the queen) as a woman with 'sexy, mature, womanly charm' or something like that and he goes to think about whether the princess (his wife) will turn out like that and how he's looking forward for it.
There's also a lot of times when the author would write in comical fanservice during a very serious or bleak scenario, effectively breaking the atmosphere. ie;
In volume 4 there's a story regarding a s*ave trader and the s*aves. Dark topic. Then the atmosphere was broken when the s*ave trader asked the s*ave girl to put on clothes (she wanted to be punish but he's such a goodguy™ so ofc he disapproves of whipping her) :
With a little bit of pressure in my words, San-san timidly put her clothes on. Then I happened to catch a glimpse of something jiggly that was well shaped so I turned my face away at full force.
The s*ave trader and the s*ave girl start working together and there's a scene where she makes a mischievous quip at him, so she tells him to whip her if he is displeased. Goodguy™ s*ave trader refused again and asked her if she's a pe*vert and she replies with
"Perhaps it's just a question of who's whipping me."
She says this after they just had all this talk about buyers abusing and hurting s*aves so it was such a big oof.
And there's a lot of scenes like that in this story. Another example that happens around volume 3, the MC goes on a mu*der spree by having a dozen of the nobles in his country decapitated in a single sweep.
Don't ask, Machiavelli told him to do it.He is clearly emotionally shaken, and requests to be left alone for a while. His two fiancées trespasses into his room dressed in skimpy outfits, breaking his angsty inner monologues. He is enticed by their appeal but also clearly states that he's not in the mood for it, but oh boy do they insist. (again, no one is allowed to have complex emotions in this novel.)-In the beginning, MC claims that he'll drop the 'king-gig' after a year and the princess thought he was being ridiculous... Even though her father was the one who just nonchalantly tossed the crown to this stranger.
-The princess falls in love with the MC SOOOO quickly. By the third chapter, she's already blushing around his presence. (they just met btw no kidding) Also majority of her role after the first war was just her trying really REALLY hard to bed the MC. She keeps bringing up how she really REALLLLYY wants that baby. Also her sub role is to look dumb right next to the MC so that he can flaunt his brilliant mind even further by either disagreeing with her naivety or explaining things to her. (she's born and raised a princess btw. Only royal child. Possibly inheritor of the throne before MC arrived. yet knows next to nothing about economics, politics and etc)
-Julius, THE prince of Amedonia (enemy) has no basic knowledge of politics either. Despite the fact that he is groomed to inherit his father's position since childhood. He insists on taking his country back from MC but had to ask for help from another country to do it. Pathetic. Also he has absolutely no post-war plan cus I guess they just assumed their side will win or something. Yep, no one does Plan Bs here or think of what if's. Also he just assumed his people would accept him as a king I guess? Though honestly his father was a nematode and the fruit can't land too far from the tree.
-There's this doctor dude, Brad, who appears later on. Apparently he's some super doctor/surgeon who stayed in the country because only Friedonia accepts his medical skills (non-magic type). Author really wants us to believe a guy barely in his 30's learned on his own, successful surgery and complicated medical techniques? That would be possible sure, but it only sounds plausible on EARTH because here, even back then, medicine and surgery is composed of many studies from hundreds of brilliant minds, there are teachers and compilations of studies that students can just pick up but this guy really discovered things like how to deliver a baby by caesarean and the like on his own? Get out of here.
Honestly after the first war things kept popping out like now there's OB-GYN doctors even though no one believes in non-magic medicine and therefor was not a practice in their world. Somehow, in some way, within just a year, they discovered modern medicine and the like. Maybe not as good as modern medicine but decent enough that our modern man MC considers it is safe enough for his wives to bear children.
-MC sets up a children sentai-like show with a BD*M lady as an antagonist. The author cannot NOT be h**ny no matter what.
I thought the mystery of the demon king was intriguing and I wanted to learn more about that but after volume 3, I'm too exhausted to continue. I skimmed to finish volume 4 hoping that maybe it would be good soon but too bad. Dropped at volume 5. It doesn't get better. Maybe one day I'll finish it and take back everything I said but there's a lot of better kingdom building novels out there. I hate that the title says realist but the author will ask you to turn off your brain if you want to enjoy this. I wouldn't say that the idea is bad, and the author clearly did a lot of research for this story but the execution is really terrible and the characters too plastic. I wanted to enjoy it because I like kingdom building but whenever I'm about to get invested, the author writes in some random comic relief/fanservice during tense and serious moments which breaks the immersion for me. I like gag, and fanservice? Sure, it's a harem manga after all, but please learn to put it where it should be. But I will admit it is hilarious to read whenever the characters gasp in awe, shock and realization because the MC said things like 'oh gas has mass, don't you know?'
