The Sky Palace stood at the heart of the empire, a place rife with bribery and favoritism ran rampant, where corrupt high-ranking nobles maintained their privileged rule. One high-ranking nobleman even declared, “Those who don’t belong in the Sky Palace are not true nobles.” Meanwhile, Hazen Heim, an imperial general officer of common birth, found himself assigned to the border frontlines. This is the tale of a man, once the strongest magician in his past life, who crushes his good-for-nothing superiors to reclaim his place at the center of the empire, only to find a new set of good-for-nothing superiors and proceed to crush them in the same manner.

With such a fast-paced storyline, strong world-building and a solid narrative foundation are essential to truly engage the reader. Unfortunately, this novel offers very little in that regard. The setting lacks depth, and the plot meanders without clear direction, making it difficult to stay invested. What could have been an exhilarating read instead becomes monotonous and tiresome over time

"Showing your incompetent superiors who's the real boss."

-> This is the niche/fetish that this book aims at. If you resonate with the idea even a little bit, I think you can enjoy this novel.

Our protagonist is a reincarnated being (not from our world, but 150 years later) who is a soldier/hero/military-man par excellence, who is given a low post in a frontier region cause he is a commoner and the Empire is a nobility only club. However, our protagonist is more than adequately prepared, and the frontier is a playground... more>> for him to prove his worth, rise through the ranks and devour it all.

The pace is fast, though there are multiple chapters (repeatedly) in which he shows nobles their place. That's how the novel goes - describe the situation, the protagonist has a plan, action occurs, and incompetent superiors are shown their place. The writing is typical Japanese WN style - relatively sparse and clean, and supporting characters have one/two traits that they repeat every so often.

About worldbuilding - there's only as much information as is required to carry the story forward. Nothing too illogical, but nothing innovative to praise either. <<less

I'm might have quit too early but the rhythm of the story becomes monotonous after a while. I recommend not binging like I did. A quirky blunt man shows corrupt people in a corrupt society who is boss in a somewhat comedic way. The author is a good writer so I recommend giving it a read to see if it suits your taste. The adult genre seems wrong. I haven't seen any adult content to this point meaning the story comes first and maybe adult content is down the line.... more>> Where I expect the adult genre has the adult content as priority. <<less

Well the nobles quite lenient on their "erasing" the opposition, either that or the empire core law from the founding emperor saved the MC more times than he should be with all the blunt remarks he said to the nobles and their descendant also about the emperor.

Well, I will just enjoy the story, its interesting as the author *ig* have separate file for the entire empire law for the MC to use.
