Magic Industry Empire魔法工业帝国

Who can tell me what year the ms was transferred from?

This one is a pretty solid title for fans of kingdom building. Even if his usual goal is on the mercantile side, the vibes with this and other kingdom building titles are pretty much standard.

Again, if you are a fan of kingdom building, this one should be solid. Not high tier but still pretty solid.

All i can say about this novel is....... MOOOOOOREEEEEEEE

You guys might as well read the sword of Dawnbreaker. Although the translated version is only 200 chapters, there is a readable MTL site (you won't get headaches that much like other MTL).
The MC knows how society works and what's to be done to popularize the magic industrial revolution. There's also R&D, the MC is not soft to its enemies, except if his country's interest can be benefited, he always opens his door for the others to change sides. Well-versed in politics (in my view) and characters are not 1D.

I've read the 1st 4 volumes and stopped at chapter 1 of vol 5. 3.5/5 at best imo.

Review:
So I you are reading this book because of the magic word in the title than let me tell you that magic isn't explored at all. We have the mages grades and the Mc is slowly climbing it cuz that's not his main goal and that's it pretty much. The only other scenario where magic is used is when the mc/in his factory they build a new magical device and it is not explained at all for the most part how it works. Example: the Mc created cars with 2 types of engines, 1 with a fire magic array and the other with a wind magic array and this is all we know about its creation. There was no further explanation. No fights with magic at all, they literally only happen when the Mc improves his mage grade.
The Mc is merchant and that side of the story is written better but at the same time his business is either flourishing or his patents and land and work gets fuked over by nobles and other merchants. It's always the same plot and it gets boring.
A lot of characters simply disappear into background characters for no reason at all and without warning.
This is a novel with a lot of numbers which are almost always wrong and as such u can't really take it seriously. Tho the translation is pretty good.
The author loves to end chapters with cliffhangers and then on the next chapter we're already on the next day without knowing what unfolded. Example: the Mc girlfriend proposed to him and then the next chapter cuts to him working in his factory or some shit.
The harem is shit and there's no reason for it to exist cuz the Mc was happy with his wife and didn't want a harem. I usually like harems BTW.
The romance (with the wife) is OK cuz a lot of their time together is off screen so we don't see much. They even have a kid and she rarely appears.
The story has a fukton of politics and the Mc as a commoner/low rank noble keeps getting trampled on and it gets annoying.

Overall thoughts: what the novel doesn't do wrong it does OK and what it does wrong it's awful and as such I got tired and dropped it. I'm certain tho that if you're really a fan of "company building" and politics and commerce novels then u might like it.

I've seen a review about mc being a passive limp. Is there a reason for that? Like he can't reveal his talents yet or something?

I can get behind this if the softness of mc is of the same level as roland of rtw. Doesn't have to be ruthless as tyranny of steel. Or he's to soft and naive? Like he had been fooled and cheated like 3 times and still do sht like nothing happens?

The novel is generally good and all , but ....
all in all i hate this novel

I get that the harem comes in pretty late in the story but can anyone spoil it for me? like what chap does it become harem, how many waifus, etc. there's no wiki to look this up :/

I dont really care about spoilers.

Is this worth to read?
No one is reviewing this :(

Can someone give me a link to the continental map? I can't keeping reading this without a map to make head or tails of where these countries relate to each other.
