One day, when I opened my eyes, I became the 5th prince of the empire that appeared in the novel.

This novel definitely deserves more love than it's currently getting. I feel like the low reviews might be actually being pretty harsh.

Characters definitely could use more personality, but I wouldn't agree to them being "one-dimensional". It's pretty early into the novel so it's hard to judge.

MC is not straight-up OP, he builds strength and following as the story progresses. There is no harem.

... more>> I am looking forward to more chapters to give a better, more-detailed review but it seems like the story was dropped?

Eitherway, this is a novel I didn't regret spending my time reading. <<less

The story feels rushed with no descriptions and no character development. MC rambles in his mind for half a chapter and then something disconnected suddenly happens in one line.

It might get better with future chapters but I can't read this because of the translators. They've butchered it with bad MTL, bad release schedule and cutting up a small chapters in several parts.

There's already so little explanations and the one's you got will often lack meaning because the MTL messed it up. There are lots of MC ramblings, though. Boring, tell... more>> don't show monologues for exposition's sake.

This is a pass. If a decent group picks it up maybe give it another chance. <<less

I feel like I am loading someone else's save game.

We just jump straight into a reincarnation, no setup, no panic, no previous life, no plot explanations. We're rushing into a standard politics novel with 1-dimensional characters.

I don't think it's very well written and seems to just exist to take advantage of the popularity of the genre. In one of the earliest chapters they say something like 30 assassins get sent every breakfast or something. That isn't a weakening kingdom it's fully decayed, not sure how you salvage an empire that can't even keep it's palace under control.

I love this type of novel.

Similar to tr*sh of the Count's family, no romance, no harem, just adventure.

I'm stopping, I should give it a chance but... eh

Most likely it's because he seems like me lol, he decides 'ok I'll try to be Emperor' just because the 3rd prince messed with him a little, could have other reasons but this is how it looked to me. Which is a "me" thing to do ie if someone says not to do something I end up wanting to do it, not sure if that's my Aries or Adhd impulses.

Honestly I was genuinely interested in the story. I love clichés and I don't expect master pieces from webnovels but this story is dry and flavourless.

I feel like I would have given it more of a chance if the translation was good but even that is mediocre so yeah.

Blah over all

4 stars!! It's a good read, mostly focused on war and conquering enemy kingdoms. But it's kinda unsettling that the MC is basically a tyrant coz he'll do whatever it takes to survive resulting to his conquered kingdoms having to deal with his inquisition knights torturing any opposition & propaganda that paints the emperor as a god.

The side characters all have the same personality just unwavering loyalty to the emperor and the empire which makes sense given their upbringing, but still.

Rant ahead beware hahahaha

Over time, I started to dislike the female characters. Like, yeah, go ahead and gush over the MC, but Tesia in particular rubbed me the wrong way. She constantly overstepped her boundaries even yelling at the emperor, which was apparently fine when she did it. But when Sylvia (the elf) said something mildly wrong, Tesia gave her this reproachful look. Like, bish, who even are you?

[collapse]

Also, this MC would so not get along with Ghislain from another novel hihi since he always throws mercenaries into the vanguard to save his own troops. But I guess it's just different circumstances? Oh well.

One of the novels who ended it perfectly. <<less

Sadly, I couldn't go past this because I didn' find even MTL.

The plot was very interesting for me, and although not everything is explained as much as I would like, it works fine.

As for the characters, I appreciate the MC actually using what he can, including his brain.

One would think that should be common but considering all that I read, it's not so lol.

The rest, I wouldn't say it's perfect but it fits the bill in terms of how they're fleshed out.

I think this novel has an exciting storyline, the plot is quite organized.

i like how MC can be cool and rational, he is not op at first but he can do a lot with the information he has well and knows how to use that information properly.

this novel has no romance although there are some codes for MC, but in the end it is not highlighted. This novel focuses on war and the expansion of power.

the characters other than the MC are actually quite fun, especially those who have high... more>> level fanaticism for the MC, some of them have fanaticism not for the MC but for the 'emperor' and are very loyal to the 'emperor'. After all, MC is the bloodline of an empire that has a long history and great past glory. To be honest, the predecessors of the royal family were very wise because they left many things for their descendants if the empire was on the verge of breaking through.

To be honest, there are actually many things that could be discussed in this novel but they weren't explained in full so it made me confused.

but overall I think this is a good novel. <<less

the story is kinda dissapointing, especially when the MC try to act "mysterious"

i mean te author want to make a mysterious atmosphere but, not even the next chapter the answer is there. bruh wats dat? and the MC love to rumblle his mind that I can already predict whats going to happen in the next chapter.

the MC is like a narcissist beta try'na to act cool but failed miserably

or maybe the author is just a narcisssist bubt didnt know that he was,

like " the MC practise so hard that he almost never went to sleep in 2 weeks he shed sweat and determination and then huala! he became a junior sh*t"

while the other took years to practice diligently to reach that stage...

you know why?

it's A SECRET TECHNIQUE!!

haha you know whats funny?

there was not even a side effects or something

whats the point of hiding it? that the greatest genius of their tower is not allowed?

it's clearly a leeway to make the MC op

atleast put some effort on making that technique more relatable and acceptable not just putting a "secret technique" and then done

and another thing is MC is self centered brat... dunno if it was part of his character trait but it's like a child trying to be maature which is funny

and also every character MC interacts hail him as a god or best genius soomething like that.

which make the character bland.

i literally thought the character is there just to make MC cooler.... haha

more like chinese novel I read in the past

I have been itching for novel like transmigrate as a scum prince but the empire is going to fall, so I'm just gonna ignore the absurb plothole that other people mention and just enjoy the smooth sailing MC gains more power and more powerful subordinate

IAM curious about the other princes though, so far only 3rd pathetically jealous prince show up right now

I'm curious how MC fight with the other more powerful princes. I guess this could count as one of the other reason why I continue reading this
