Do not come into this story expecting it be realistic as the author claims. Time has no meaning in this story. Within a single year the mc has managed to bring about the Industrial Revolution. Even with memories from his past life, this is impossible. It would take a decade at least. However, within a single year the mc has introduced, steam engines, trains, bank, stocks and stock market, late 19th/early 20th century firearms and artillery and machine guns, steel ships. All of these things have been not just introduced but refined and perfected within a single year. Just getting the steam engine built properly and his factories installed with them should have taken a year to accomplish. This is a story where you turn off your brain while reading. Do not expect any kind of realistic kingdom building. There are alt history novels on this sight that are far more realistic. However, this story is still slightly enjoyable. Not much is known about the world, and the characters don’t really have any unique personalities, but it’s still early on. My biggest advice to the author: remove your own review where you say this story is a more realistic kingdom builder then other stories on this site. It most definitely is not. Good luck with your novel.

This book is executed poorly. First of all author introduce the world as new and diffrent than Earth yet all that changed are names and maybe borders of some kingdoms. It would be better to keep names and continents of Earth. Here we get just diffrent naming slighlty diffrent map (So far we got India UK+ 2 kingdoms fighting over giblartar strait) MC is transmigrated as a Prince of island that resembles UK. If u make new world at least try to make it truly new. Another problem is with storytelling: MC wokes up as a Prince and stright up goes to his father shows his ideas and always get approval to implement them. There is no reaction to his sudden change, no reaction of his surrondings shown. There are no obstacles to aby of his actions. The world is bland and does not feel alive. We have minimal side characters and if they are introduced its only by giving name and they are used as tools to carry orders. Whole book is basycly introducing reforms and tech and talking to his father about them over and over again. And we never get reactions of the ppl affected by them. Another issue is with unrealistic timelines and unclear time skips. For example building a university in less than 8 months using late medival technology. Very disappinting.

First of all, I want to thank everyone who has supported this book. When I was writing it, I never expected it to gain so much attention. In terms of content, the book will focus on kingdom-building, warfare, and economics. If you’re looking for a more realistic kingdom-building novel in an isekai setting, this is exactly what you’re looking for. If you have any questions, feel free to leave a comment.

I feel like I've discovered Arkenstone, I like it a lot, I hope it continues. When the power stone opens, I will support it immediately. I love a history novel that begins on an island or in an isolated place. I think I'm very lucky today.

I bought all the current chapters to see if it was worth reading further and sadly it isnt to be. The novels synopsis is good and I have always enjoyed a good kingdom building themed story. Yet this one is dry, empty and just very bland. The progress of development is interesting but it jumps to fast around in its progress and misses some obvious points of technology that could have been developed. I could not find anything of merit, or to relate to with this MC just every chapter would appear as he wakes, decides to exercise, visit his old man with some ground breaking theory or invention, visits some industries and then goes home to develop further ground breaking developments then goes to bed. It just really didn’t inspire enthusiasm within me. Perhaps if the author introduced some tragedy, some form of perhaps romance etc may have given it some missing factors to develop further but even the war scenes were just robotic in delivery. Not to say, they sounded robotic, just very much a shopping list on how to do things. Overall, it has a good idea and a lot of potential, it is just the delivery was uninspiring and simply fell flat for me. Tl;dr - it has potential but it is up to the reader to determine this.
