Recommended for experienced readers:

-Very little use of clichès
-MC is very strong but strength isn't always the answer.
-Flow of events is reasonable and pacing is neither too fast nor too slow.
-No use of systems or plot armor.

Good novel, good translation.

Felt like I was playing mount and blade again, the author clearly did their research, the world, and the characters, feel real.

Not hyper realistic to the point where you might as well just read an history book, but realistic just enough to not make you feel like you are reading about some shoddily made world based on a JRPG. It's great, pretty rare to find fantasy novels with such historical authencity.

The power levels are also very grounded and reasonable, armor isn't paper (except for the protagonist), and a sword is... more>> often times more practical than magic for killing enemies.

The protagonist is a pretty chill dude who others tend to misunderstand as a paragon of virtue for acting like a normal person due to other nobles having atrocious behavior, it's kinda of funny.

Overall it's a good novel and you can feel the effort put into it with how the author displays the world, a great medieval fantasy novel that's actually medieval. <<less

An interesting premise that for now is being well-developed. The world building and the personalities of the characters are great. The beginning can let think the story to be something already seen but after the first chapters is obvious that the clichés are few and far between. For now four stars, only because the translation isn't perfect.

I really enjoyed the novel at the beginning as it was unique and the protagonist very interesting. The world building is fantastic and the world itself is very vast.

The reason I give 3.7:stars is solely because the author is lazy. The superhuman strenght of the protagonist has no background and everyone just accepts the fact that a man is capable of feats of strenght even 12 men wouldn't be able to do.

I can live with that but what really annoys me is the usual genius trait. The characters fly to... more>> the protagonist because "he's different from the other nobles, he's so mature and he's so brave when he cuts down hundreds of men".

a feature I really like is the parallels you can draw to real history. For example a large part of the chapter 100+ seems to play in southern italy and you can compare it with the norman conquest of southern italy.

Despite the aforementioned negative aspects I would encourage everyone to read it as it is different and qualitatively better than many other novels. Judge for yourselves. <<less

The usual smart handsome with no effort MC. Fun for a bit before becoming boring. If you're definition of effort equates to "he then train for 10 days and mastered all there is to master" then you'll enjoy this
