currently at: ch. 20

it's rushed. really rushed.
it has a truckload of promise, but it's just too rushed.
everything seems to come to him too easily so far - then again it's just been 20 chaps so i guess he's still on easy mode.
hope the pace smoothens out and time is actually spent in fleshing out some of the stuff that goes on in the background.

My opinion: I read till

and realised I don't really like it. The one thing that put me off is the constant foreshadowing. "No one knows, but on this day, a majestic oompah loopah that will trash the world had been born" something like this. You are meeting a new character? Something something is born. So I stopped. But I can sort of understand why people like the story, it's not bad

Lol, I agree 100%

It feels like author is adding those totally irrelevant comments, for the sake of word count.

Looks like the author did a mass copyright strike on all the sites hosting this novel. He didn’t strike this one though.

This Novel is a degenerates wet dream.

I can look beyond the underage stuff due to the stories setting however I cringe whenever the author describes the underage love interest as "Loli" or "lolita". Even his "sister" he calls a "cute Loli". But fret not because the author clearly states in the novel that Julian Weber, U.S. Army LT, West Point Honors engineer graduate is in fact...not a lolicon lol.

You really have to try your hardest to suspend belief in order for some of the MC's achievements to make sense.

Anyway what your left with is a Isekai, Kingdom Building, with harem story.

AS SUCH, I do not recommend this story to anyone with half a brain(especially so for those with a whole brain).

If you're a degenerate and proud of it, this is the story for you. Enjoy.

Just to clarify lest people feel slighted by my review:

A degenerate is one who is immoral and/or corrupt. Which is a true statement for this novel.

Also keep in mind that a Tyrant is one who is cruel and oppressive, so set your expectations accordingly when getting into this story.

The reason I can't recommend this novel to the average book worm is because the author has failed to separate himself from his story.

The author also fails to tell a convincing tale of a well disciplined soldier slowly losing himself to corruption on his path to tyranny.

It's one thing if the MC was already a degenerate when he transmigrated, it would explain why he's so quick to accept things normally considered immoral in the 21st century. It's another thing to try and portray MC as a disciplined soldier, trying to hold onto his morals, the author falls wholly flat in this regard.

The author has also failed to convince me that the MC is capable of his achievements. If magic was involved then I can believe, but there's no magic. Just one man in the 15th century with blueprints and an "unshakeable" drive.

That's just me though, I'm sure others have a different perspective on things.

  I guess you didn't read that much huh?
  
  because your question about his personality is answered (*note: if you still are reading the story and didn't get to the latest chapters don't read them)
  the person he transmigrated into wasn't really dead, not fully at least, but part of him, that part is him lazing around and being trash, and MC part was also dead, that part is him being socially awkward and being not a good speaker or a ruler
  they got together to make the perfect him, keeping the ruthless, noble blood, and womanizer nature of the noble,
  and the brilliant mind of the transmigrator
  as to why this happened, this would be answered in the 2nd spoiler
  
  your idea about magic being involved...
  there is magic, not that kind of magic, but gods exist... yeah, I said godS, apparently, every legend about gods from all around the world is true, he meets some of them, and knows that he was summoned by the "all father" (Woden/Odin) the germanic god for some reason that is not answered fully yet, but so far it is to compete with the Abrahamic god or something
  so he might be the reason for the personality, he killed the useless parts of the noble and the MC and merged the best parts to make the perfect chess piece
  
  your idea of "it is not possible to only have blueprints and achieve all that because he is alone" is just stupid
  it's like saying "if a spy steals a blueprint of some weapon from a country, he can't make that weapon because he is alone..." !?
  obviously not, he has a team that exists to make his blueprints reality not like he gonna sit in his room to make them alone
  every machine in today's world is made of a lot of tiny pieces that are put together
  you can ask any medieval blacksmith to make these pieces and put them together to make it, or how did we get the first steam engine or the creations of today's work...? it's not like they are idiots at the time, it is just they lacked knowledge, and the MC provided them that...
  it's not rocket science, (at least so far).
  
  plus it was never easy to do it in the first place... he had a lot of people working on things and through errors and remakes came up with what he desired
  over time they saw a lot of these ideas to get used to it
  and things became easier for them to make
  
  he is not "Just one man in the 15th century with blueprints and an "unshakeable" drive"
  he is a noble who has a rich land and great people that would do anything to get a better life and he used them both greatly.
  
  he is immoral, I agree, when it comes to other countries tho, not his people, I can't agree or disagree with that.
  you have to add that his people are living the life of mid-up class people in the 20th century while others still live like slaves only to feed the nobles and die of hard work.
  
  as for your problem with his sexual life, I got some problems with it too, but I try to focus more on the story so I don't care for it, plus his girls are mostly lovely so it doesn't take anything from the story.
  
  so all of this leads me to believe you didn't read that much of the story since almost everything you asked is answered... even his sister's part...
  anyways,
  hope that answers your complaints.

    His degeneracy & tyranny is not really an issue. The authors choice of words is cringe tho. No need to express your personal fetish in a story many will read.
    
    The real issue is the speed in which he achieved his modern civilization.
    
    Modern guns and infrastructure in under a year by a handful of blacksmith, and bunch of farmers and serfs in the 15th century. This was a time we people believed witchcraft was real and burned ppl at the stake.
    
    There's no way he can teach these farmers while waging war by day and fooling around with linde by night. Plus how the hell is linde able to setup a spy network in under a year and communicate with them across the realm? Plot holes...

      I would disagree with "the speed" you are talking about
      it is reasonable enough for me even tho it is on the faster side
      but honestly, do you want to read more than 100 chapters so he can make a single gun? the answer is no, no one would want that, the author expresses that they struggled to make it work and that is all I need to know.
      I don't want to read 100 chapters about him struggling to make something and getting all that useless information, it would be just boring.
      
      as for the "how did he teach them" I guess I answered that already, idk why people treat the old people like retards acting as if not everything we have today came from them... they have way better brains than most of today's society because they don't have all of the bs we have today, and their minds are like a sponge they can absorb knowledge easily because they have too little stuff to think about
      not to forget, again, as I said before that as long as you have blueprints they gonna make it since their only problem was the lack of knowledge and he gave them that.
      and china invented the guns (fire lance) during the 10th century!! so your dates have no point.
      
      as for the spy thing... Linde already had a network before she met him, she just spread it further when he asked, it is as simple as that.
      and it goes back to the point before, it is either this or him taken chapters wasting time, if it goes as you want it to go then he would die before making a decent Single-shot firearm lol
      he ain't immortal after all, so, I think cultivation novels would be good for you.
      
      if you want real reasons as to why it has problems it is simple:
      
      1-the author didn't do too much research on history before writing, making use of too many stereotypes as reality.
      
      2-the author's unreasonable obsession with women, and no, I didn't agree with yours before because you were arguing the wrong point, the dude literally...
      added his sister to the harem, which even as much as I tried to ignore still kept bothering me, and no again not because of the relationship, but how much of a bitch she was about it, the author rewrote these chapters, but still, I didn't see them since they are on webnovel only, and there is no way I am paying for this shit
      
      3-the author's obsession with alcohol, like, the mc is drinking day in and day out, I honestly believe the author has a drinking problem which ended up projecting into the novel.
      believe it or not, he even made Muslims drink lol.
      
      4-the quality degrading overtime where the author started making unreasonable things left and right, like sending spies from his palace to cover other places only to end up with a problem
      as if he needs to move spies from some place to another instead of just deploying more, or the fact that something happened
      a spy got into his mining area which he secured in spain
      
      because he was busy elsewhere in the war...? acting as if he's going to war has anything to do with a mining team... etc.
      among other stuff that would make the comment too long
      
      I am not a big fan of the novel, it ain't even on my top 10, but you gotta be fair when you criticize and leave reasons in your comments instead of feelings.
      
      anyways, enjoy your reading time, and be safe.

  Have read a bit of the story and seems to me the author skips over most of the r-18 scenes and only shows the beginning and just skips the actual smut, does he write out the r-18 scenes later in the story or just continous like that?

    its mostly if not always if berengar go to war or another country there will be a smut scene between his wives so i put yuri in it, and they are hardcore thing and use drug and stuff so i put bdsm in it
    So its a mid-late stuff after

Suddenly I'm interested of what's the first sailors reaction towards the legend of Moby Dick...

I mean it's prolly their first time seeing a creature such as whale actually exist... I know Author never mention about this besides the waves while sailing. But it'd be interesting to see their reaction.
