Witches with magical powers abound, and fearsome wars between churches and kingdoms rage throughout the land.

I got to the part after the battle with the church and roland wins the duel of souls. Anyways, Roland does not feel like Roland which is a problem because his the main character. For the first few hundred chapters Roland while not a great character was a decent character (very big gary sue though).
First instance of roland not being roland happens around where the demons pop up again after the hot air balloon is created and they decide to go scout the demon outpost. roland essentially goes "I know I am the most important person to my own reforms and stability of my reign but sod off with your concerns because I wanna go to and be with my waifu anna" an this is the anti-thesis of everything roland was built up to be. Roland's character was shown to be smart and kind and more or less identifying with the modern world soul/memories over his original soul and memories. Risking his life to go scout out a demon outpost however was not a very smart thing it was just dumb never mention that everything quite literally revolves around him at border town. not as much as it use to but still you don't present the enemy your head on a sliver platter when you are the head of state.
Second instance of roland not being roland is the whole thing concerning Heidi Morgan. Instead of saying "lets not do the death penalty if you insist on punishing her" roland went "yeah lets kill her". for context roland identifies with his modern self a lot more than his medieval self meanwhile Heidi Morgan is a actual princess and a witch who runs her own witch organization aka the bloodfang association and unlike roland does not have the power of hindsight/advanced future knowledge.
The bloodfang were originally created as a secret military branch by Heidi Morgan to help reclaim the throne from her uncle and hand the throne to her father. They achieved this and than the war with the church started soon after. the result was the wolfheart kingdom losing inspite of Heidi Morgan's best attempts at hindering the church with the bloodfang. This leads to Heidi Morgan becoming desperate; to the point she begins selling off none combat witches to the nobles to buy her time to recruit more combat witches with the idea being to seek help and eventually retake the WolfHeart Kingdom. Things did not go as plan so they ran.
eventually roland meets a few bloodfang witches and decides to tell his sister lets set a trap with a witch created out of illusion magic. the bloodfang desperate to keep its past secret fall right into this trap and Heidi Morgan is captured and the second in command dies fighting Ashes.
in jail Heidi Morgan admits to what she did to the none combat witches and sentenced to death with roland's 100% approval. Roland shoulda recognized the desperation Heidi Morgan was in espically when she proclaimed "help me and I will let you take half of the WolfHeart Kingdom as a reward!". but instead of recognizing this desperation he just did not give a crap. Furthermore what crime did she actually commit (other than attempted mu*der on an illusion) ? she did not commit a crime while she was held under Tilly's law or roland's law and yet roland arbitrarily goes "yeah lets just kill her because were the ethical people here". Heidi Morgan did not know how to make bombs or guns like roland she naturally tried creating a quality force out of combat witches she was desperate acting out in desperation. Even if she was selling out the none combat witches prior to this desperation she did not break Tilly or Roland's law because she was not subjected to it.
its like a person in Germany does something in Germany completely a okay there and goes over to the UK and the UK throws the person in jail and than sentences him because he broke UK law without being subjected to it. Roland is sopose to identify with his modern self more not his semi-cruel medieval prince self and the novel goes out of its way to make/prove this point by stating the semi-cruel prince self is all but forgotten a mere back drop/history.
there are inconsistencies in the main character that should not be there.
as for what I stated earlier about roland being a gary sue.. well he is a gary sue. he is literally mr google of the medieval realm "this is how you make cement, cement boats, o and here is a chemistry book I wrote myself, a natural science book, etc. etc."<---if he had a photographic memory and liked to spend his time on the net learning stuff no one else learns about or barely remembers/loses as they get older...I could let it slide... but Roland does NOT have a photographic memory the novel even pointed this out several times for example the chemistry book when there were missing parts in the periodic table.
The MC reincarnates as a prince in medieval Europe, with a position high enough to introduce social and technological reforms. While the concept is nothing new, Release that Witch is definitely one of the better reincarnation-world building series out there, simply because it's well written, evenly paced, while the MC doesn't just dictate reforms to create a mini version of our society.
Instead, when the MC first reincarnated, he started to learn the rules of his new world and integrates it with modern views and technology to assist rather than remake society. His approach is also hands on and on a smaller scale, starting from a small town and a few industries, rather than grand sweeps and vague directions.
The characters are also complex with realistic POVs and concerns that do add something new to the story. Rather than blindly following the MC or hating him, they have their own thoughts and concerns, even if you don't agree with it (villains).
The pace might be a little slow for some, but it's easy to read and flows well. The MC also lacks the obnoxiousness commonly found in these series, while the characters also feel quite human. The author also chose (wisely) to deal with things like discrimination and social views over the long term since reforms and changing people's thoughts are one of the hardest things to do.
- Roland is just a mechanical engineer who makes blueprints, and some of the earlier inventions that he made seemed fine, but as time went on, he started remembering minute details about chemicals and other very intricate things that its almost impossible for the human brain to recall all of these things with pinpoint accuracy. I can suspend my disbelief up to a certain extent, but some of this stuff just took me out of the story completely.
- Witches seem to appear and join his party with very convenient powers with the exact right timing that help him in certain situations.
- It's not really a harem, but it kinda is? Roland is pretty much with Anna. I'm not really a fan of their relationship anyway. If you're gonna make it a harem, make it a harem. If you're not, then don't. Why do all this wishy washy stuff?
- For the most part, the characterization is good. But sometimes too many characters, its hard to keep track of it unless you're binge reading it.
- Too many side stories that I didn't really care much about, and only skimmed reading. If I'm ever skimming through your novel quickly out of boredom, then I think it is not good personally....
