Not bad. Came here after reading the manhwa. Basically smart MC prepares for war. Logan kinda reminds me of Cale Henituse, but might just be me. Story wise, I am enjoying it. Translation wise, it needs some work.

Idk how accurate the translation is, but it's mostly readable. There are some glaring problems that may annoy readers tho. I would highly recommend getting a proofreader/editor to the Translator.

Examples:

Started reading the "manga" and seeking more chapter I come to find this translation work that is of very good quality.

The story is very interesting. On the start is very quickly and not much time or details are expended on his early grow (his first 6 months after regressing) but if you have read a lote of this kind o novels this is not necessary a bad thing because we get to the interesting parts more quickly and make this a easy read. Going to stay tuned on the story...

This damn novel made me cry at the very first chapter 😭 I don't normally cry that easily but maybe my tear ducts were especially sweaty on that day lol

What I liked about this novel:

• The battles are thrilling because they’re not the type where the MC and his allies just easily defeat their enemies. The MC and his troops face real challenges, and as a reader, I could feel the struggle, anxiety, and frustration during the battle scenes.
• Logan, the MC, demonstrates remarkable strength and bravery—not only through physical prowess but also emotionally. Acknowledging one’s flaws and seeking genuine redemption is never easy. It requires immense self-awareness and vulnerability to admit mistakes, apologize from the heart, and actively seek change. Even when the weight of regret is heavy, Logan faces the daunting task of apologizing to those affected, showing true courage in the process. His ability to sincerely own up to his wrongs and make amends is a testament to his growth, making him a commendable character.
• There’s a solid amount of strategy incorporated into the battles, which made them more engaging.

What I didn't like about this novel:

• The narration tends to "tell" more than "show, " which can make things feel a bit flat.
• Since this is more of a plot-driven story, most of the supporting characters aren’t well-developed and feel pretty forgettable.
• The relationships between characters felt rushed and a bit flimsy.
• Logan is way too reliant on his knowledge of the future. Sure, he checks the capital’s situation and all that, but he should’ve double—no, triple—checked his future knowledge against the present facts. His decision to wage war against Count Bifrost, even though he knew they weren’t prepared, was just reckless. His greed and excessive ambition led to the suffering of many soldiers.
  Spoiler

  Although he learned from this mistake and decided to change his mindset, it seems like he forgot all that growth once the civil war broke out. He got overconfident again and pushed ahead with a plan that had a major flaw—betting everything on the future knowledge he had, which he already knew could change. He stuck to this plan despite having no solid proof, and it’s just frustrating to read.

• I find it hypocritical that Logan wants to prevent a civil war and war with the empire, but at the same time, he’s the one starting a war himself.
• It’s honestly disgusting how Logan planned the timing of the war with Count Bifrost based on the King’s death (which he knew would happen, thanks to his future knowledge). When the King’s death was delayed, Logan became anxious and frustrated, even hoping for the King to die because it was the only way his troops could survive. He pinned all his hopes on the King’s death from the very beginning, which is morally questionable, especially since the King hadn’t wronged him. In fact, the King had even gifted Logan a precious artifact! It just felt like Logan had no conscience. What a psycho.
• The worldbuilding is decent, but it still has room for improvement.

Overall, the story had a lot of potential at first, even with its cliché premise. The execution of the story still needed some work, but I was willing to stick with it since I was in the mood for this type of story. However, what ultimately made me drop the novel was the MC. From being a promising, reliable, and talented protagonist, Logan turned into a foolish, reckless, and arrogant warmonger. It’s really disappointing. I’m not sure if he’ll get character development later on, but honestly, I’m not interested enough to find out.

Just came to read after reading manga. At start translation quality was good but after some chapter quality took a 180 degree dive. Names started yo became way too inconsistent and he and she got mixed a ton. And beyond chapter 247 it behind a paywall. I asked myself should I pay for such inconsistent quality translation or should I use Google translation.

Translation was done by a newbie and he is asking to be paid.
