King

no cheat well then let's see ...,...........................................................................................................

As someone who is very picky with his Kingdom Building novels I can say that this novel is likely in the top 3 I've ever come to read, I've seen so many that I can say with confidence that this hits the spot for detailed and completely focused on solely the kingdom building aspects, be they military, diplomacy, economics, sociology and does it in the best execution of said theme I've seen so far. The world is understandable, but has enough going on that it doesn't feel constricting, It feels like it has been lived in, with history and stories for every part in it, the fantastic elements bringing even more potential to the development of the world, being taken seriously and with very thoughtful details. The story is a journey of a son of a noble rising among his peers, he is usually strong among his own level, but what really sets him apart is his understanding of the world, the do and don't of high society and how to always benefit himself most in his own situation, he isn't making big revolutions, but taking gradual steps towards the peak where he can show more and more his modern knowledge to do better than his peers, he isn't a conservative who keeps ignoring the knowledge he has for the sake of safety but knows when and how to implement it masterfully. This is not a xianxia, but has elements of high fantasy, just that it is strictly demanding to achieve and usually not economical to do so, making the mundane elements still very important, industry has the tendency of incorporation of magic in it, and class behavior is very obvious everywhere you look (different countries are diverse in how they work, some more feudal and others more modernized, it even is a central plot point in the novel) Who should read this: those who want pure unadulterated Kingdom Building, not being give as a little spice for the story but as the whole meal. This is a must read for Kingdom Building fans, and you will regret passing it up for long after reading even 40 chapters in, it also gets better the more you read and understand the world, no need to worry about quality drop.

The fact that this has a review from 1 year ago makes me assume update stability is bad. There is a refreshing normal MC who isn’t op and dense right off the bat. Book has promise if it wasn’t dropped by the author

The King - one of my favorites finally came to the app. Let’s hope it does not get dropped and gets update to the latest raw chapter. Think the raw is around 800 chapters so far.

This is a kingdom building novel based on medieval fantasy. The plot is fun and the progress so far has been amazing. The MC is smart, def not too OP (even though he is a transmigrator) but resteicted due to resources, but just how society is. If you ever watched Game of Thrones, it has the same flavor of politics or even with any historical, empire/kingdom genres. The only major negative are the translations. It’s really irritating and it takes you awhile to figure out what’s what. For example, the bimon race in the novel … which, I assume are like the bison/Taurens (World of Warcraft), and so on. But overall, it has been a fun read and pretty smart.

I'm a little disappointed by this novel. I've read more than 110 chapters when I write this review so maybe things will change. The first chapter is a recap of the cultivation in the novel (knights, mages, etc...) so I thought it would be important but I guessed wrong. There are magic elements in the world but the novel just don't talk about them or very little. I've read about mages doing something one time so far. Ok, maybe they are rare so it would make sense but it's not said. But Knights are everywhere but the power structure is useless. Apart from 2 or 3 characters, we don't know what rank they are. And what's the point of a better rank? Don't know. What can they do? Don't know. The novel is just about normal nobles doing normal nobles things. If the first ennemy didn't used a magic item, you couldn't take magic out of the novel and the story would be the same. The MC is an apprentice knight but he never cultivate to increase his rank. He doesn't train his sword art. Nothing. It's a good thing normal aspect of life is well treated but the author seemed to forget the magic side of his world.
