Description
Links are NOT allowed. Format your description nicely so people can easily read them. Please use proper spacing and paragraphs.Chen Yan travels between worlds, ending up becoming an honorable prince in a medieval fantasy world. Yet this world was not quite as simple as he thought. Witches with magical powers abound, and fearsome wars between churches and kingdoms rage throughout the land.
Roland, a prince regarded as hopeless by his own father and assigned to the worst fief, spends his time developing a poor and backward town into a strong and modern city, while fighting against his siblings for the throne and absolute control over the kingdom. Join Roland as he befriends and allies with witches and, through fighting and even farming, pushes back invaders coming from the realm of evil.

"dream world" and actual secrets of gods and magic
- This is Universal novel, can't believe this is Chinese novel. (my first taught this was western author)
- No Bullsh*t OP and no Dumbass MC and idiot Antagonist
- Great world building, awesome timeline
- [edit] Yes MC was extremely smart, (for me it was like MacGyver) but it was still on line, not over line (OP, Cheat) I was think it was like racial buff and still balanced. I mean, c'mon this is a 'Science Fiction Novel', not a Historical channel or Documenter Movie, if we want a true logical, I better watch National Geographic, read science books, school books, essays, thesis LOL This Novel was great, this was rare for me to read like crazy for hundred chapter in one sit. very rare, this novel was well written, great translate, and got an epic world build, the plot was amazing, if you got concern about the cover, and the tittle. Please, read it atleast 2 chapter, and I can tell you, that you can't stop read unless you are need to answering the nature's call (AKA bathroom break). if you concern that xianxia world was not your cup of coffee (don't worry 'this thing' is different), or worried the MC was a dick, coward, (relax this 'cool guy' not one of those), or think 'is this worth for me to take this from want to read list' (my answer is : yes, it was worth it). This novel was so good even that I for one dislike many (I MEAN MANY) Chinese novel recommend it to other people (and this speak A LOT).
i often see reader who dislike harem permit this MC to make his harem (this too speak A LOT). means the quality of the story the author bring to you was top notch i can't help it, I must write a review, this Novel deserve it. and deserve to be a legend [in the making] (in my heart) like Mushoku Tensei, Overlord, Altina The Sword Princess, Tate no Yuusha no Nariagari. i seldom give 5 star, but for this poison. I don't hesitate 5/5 (this novel desperately need someone who have magic hand to draw those hawt chicks... I mean witch, I need moe supply ASAP) [edit]
after 3rd read, I believe that the MC not have walk in the park against every s**t he through, it seem that way, but he take all of those like piece of cake not by some 'Deus EX' bul**hit, it because all hard work and make useful the resource (be it human, monetary, knowledge) at his disposal, to the limit. and he make general prepare long before those s**t knocking on his door.
it's good that the author portrays different scenes that will later on co-inside but there are situations left unexplained properly. Good thing he offers links as to enlighten the readers to the technologies and knowledge that the MC used/will use till the present encounter but that's just it. What I'm saying is the circumstances in which the side characters are experiencing so does with the MC should have more depth in them coz' if not for the author's unique style of writing, this will come out as another common book. ex. When tilly saw ash when they were younger what did tilly and ash do then? Did they spent their days leisurely living as princess and servant in the palace? Or did they commit assassinations in the kingdom when they have time for it? Did they practice their skill? How did they escape? What does the 3rd princess feel towards tilly? The 3rd princess poisoned the MC and has advanced plans to counter her 1st and 2nd brother but what about tilly? This is just 1 example, maybe the author will be able to come up with the decision wherein he will not just explain and give links to knew ideas in tow in every chapter but would also deepen his introductions, explanations, and concluding remarks in every chapter with regards to the circumstances of each character.
- For some, the fact that this series pushes a not-always-subtle "Idealized Communism" idea and some other Communist China elements. While it doesn't bug me personally, comments here and elsewhere have mentioned it as a pain point. To be fair, the author is Chinese and pushing Chinese ideals the same way some Japanese novels push Japanese Imperialism. The difference is that Release that Witch makes it quite blatant.
- The main protagonist, Roland, is a Gary Stu. He's supposedly a PhD level Mechanical Engineer before being revived in the body of a prince. Yet he quickly takes to acting like a Prince/King in less than a year and also somehow knowing things that are normally out of bounds for the usual Mechanical Engineer. He also never truly experiences hardship, because everything happens to go his way most of the time. And to top it off, his ego is so massive that he's portrayed as a "can't scare me Alpha Dog".
- For the moments when Roland does happen to be lacking in some department, the author almost immediately tosses a new character who conveniently makes up for Roland's shortcoming, whether it's a Witch with the abilities he needs or an intelligent individual (Edith being the most obvious, but Iron Axe and Nightingale count too).
- Related to 3, the series just keeps tossing in additional characters and some side-stories that further bloat the cast, with many of them being a one-time key character than marginalized to "oh, by the way, they did something" in a chapter further down the line. Sure, a few do add "flavor" to the series by offering an outsider's perspective to Roland's reforms, but the rest are just to insert a way to tie Roland to new materials or resources he needs then they get marginalized.
- The Lead Female Character, Anna, is practically a Mary Sue and one-dimensional cheat-waifu for Roland. Even Nightingale has more personality than Anna. Anna quickly becomes Roland's loyal lapdog Witch and his primary "cheat", somehow quickly understanding basic Physics, Chemistry, Metalurgy, and Manufacturing and being the main driver of Roland's early military/industrial reforms. But in all of the 1498 chapters, she never really forms a personality of her own. She's just there.
- Severe power level creep. Like many other Chinese novels, power creep bursts are present. Much of it has to do with the author never actually letting Roland experience some hardship, so the author constantly has to throw in new overpowered enemies here and there and unorthodox problems that take several chapters to resolve. Not once does Roland experience a major defeat that actually reflects the limits of his abilities or his administration against that of a supposedly superior enemy force. It's also reflected semi-passively in the form of his industrial base and populace; whenever Roland comes up against a wall, he somehow finds a quick and easy solution either from a bunch of convenient new hires or from conveniently having new production capability.
- Rushed plot towards the last third of the series. The author throws more and more battles and increasingly simplified plot details towards the end, which eventually results in an ending so rushed and unsatisfying because it never actually ties up all loose ends. Sure, it builds up the tempo of "the end" coming, but it also becomes so brainless. Especially seeing as Roland's military never really "loses", so it becomes quite predictable. Even the climax is predictable, because Roland has never been given some flaws that his opponents can capitalize on and his ego and confidence happens to be the things needed to overpower gods.
Now for the Pros (with spoilers) :... more>>The biggest complaint I have is the demon arc and “Gods” and dream world. I can understand that the author might want to move to a greater part of the novel however the explanations and transitions are completely excessive and unnecessary. It really adds complexity to something that was already at a great balance between action and logic. At this point the novel is being told through side characters and their points of view which personally I don’t care for, and our protagonist that once was aiding the army to fight demon beasts on the frontlines and doing great things, becomes a paper jockey doing paperwork all day and talking while he seemingly becomes useless.
- Good world/story building, really shows the struggles that witches and certain factions go through. As well as setting the stage for their progress forward.
- Characters is mostly likeable, as they are unique, and have their own personalities. Even most of the enemies also have personalities and don't follow typical LN characteristics.
- Science/Technology advancement is good and fun to read, as their impact is huge in this era.
Cons:
