Julian Weber is an officer in the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers and a graduate of Westpoint Military Academy with a degree in civil engineering. As U.S. involvement in Afghanistan comes to an end, Lt. Julian Weber finds himself involved in a terrorist attack by the Taliban, which claims his life.

However, he quickly finds out that death is not always final as he is reincarnated into the body of a Baron’s son and heir in an alternate Earth set in Late-Medieval Europe. In an era of political turmoil and civil strife, the Baron’s young son is named Regent of the Barony of Kufstein and forced to contend with feudal powers. Will he be able to institute reforms leading his Barony into the age of industry?

Or will he succumb to the pressure of his feudal overlords and a corrupt church that seek dominion overall? Collapse

          New policy?

          Eww... even though webnovels are famous for their exempt regulation...

          Many 18+ genre novels carry the theme of incest, and get the attention of (horny) readers there.

          Although immoral, but surely many people feel disappointed with this rule. middle

            Not really a new one, always been there.
            But it applies to contracted authors only.
            If you are not contracted, you can have incest.

            what happens is that the webnovel moderators are hypocritical and unfair there are several novels that have incest nothing happens to them for example dual cultivation is one there is the plotagonist f#cks the sister there is also naked swor art in this one the plotagonist f#cks the grandmother and mother nothing happens to the authors and it also seems that the author of this novel rewrote the plot of the Chinese empire for the of Indian empire I imagine that something has to do with webnovel because it is from China and also authors are hired

              Dual Cultivation was grandfathered in as it was contracted before this rule was in place. Naked Sword Art looks to be the same. The China to India thing was because WN is owned by a Chinese company, but it was done by Zent so there isn't any issues in the future and not because WN forced Zent to.

                Really though?
                I knew a few novels that just recently got contracted and it has an incest in the story.
                For example, the conqueror's path it has massive incest the MC fcked his mother, sisters, cousin, and aunt.

                  I'm just saying what the Author told everyone. He's very active on discord and talked about the reasons that he had to rewrite so many chapters. MLB has also said previously that he was grandfathered in. I'm not sure if WN has changed their rules lately but I would doubt they would change it like that. ToS was contracted too, despite that it's only later that the rewrite happened.

    I dropped it as the main character seems to be a Neonazi...(read to ch.419)
    His soldiers greet him with the"Hitler"-greeting and stuff like that
    There is also a harem which seems to be infinitely expanding...

        Give me a good reason why I schould... Is my review factualy wrong... do you think im overreacting...
        My review is just the honest opinion of a German who finds it disconcerting that the mc makes many of the statments that nazis made and still make (at least in Germany)

        Edit:
        I'm just honstly asking because I loved the start of the novel but I just couldn't continue reading with this stuff...
        I honestly gave the book a chance but for me, him slaughtering the inocent (female) nobles that couldn't pose a threat while his soldiers were ransacking the town was the final nail in the coffin... In earlier sieges there were rules to protect the civilians after the conquering of the town... but in the conquering of the capital of a hispanic kingdom...

        Edit2:
        If this is supposed to be charakter development and he'll "change" for the better then please tell me because if that is the case the author, at least in my opinion, did a horredous job at comunicating that...

        Edit3:
        I should clarify that neither of those facts alone or the switch in policy lead to my discomfort but the fact that he did it as soon as he wasn't fighting in "German" cities....

          Ah the irony 🌚

          Listen brother did you really wrote an essay with 3 edits just to reply a troll?

          Brother you need to learn to avoid trolls. If you've an opinion about something you don't need justification from others for that. Just avoid them and put your time in something positive. Nobody gives an F about someone's feelings on internet. Chill and enjoy.

      Honestly I feel the same, like, im reading a story about/written my a sneaky, closeted Nazi sympathiser..

      It has the whole package & it creeps up on you, one by one... homophobia, trans phobia, misogyny, deep appreciation of light skin & pale hair colou, fascination with monocultural/non-diverse empire that lasts for 1000 years and having it dominate the rest of the world, a liking for things that are related to 20th century Germany, and worst of all... a sneaky and devious inclusion of nazi symbolism (soldiers marching to erika).

      I know the Last one is too on the nose, but i call it sneaky and devious because, no excuse appology or acknowledgement is being given for including such blairites nazi symbolism...

      There are idiot's out there who'd say shit like "🤪 dude that just a song about some girl, it only becomes a nazi symbolism if you acknowledge it as such" to those organisms operating on a single brain cell i say, "i would love to see you appreciate your favourite song after you witness your loved ones being violated and murdered right in front of your eyes, while the gang of murderers and rapists sign said song while committing the crime"

      It's not about what the content says, it's about what it means to the people consuming it.

        I didn't want to say that because it would have been speculation, but I agree...
        Especially with the backstory of the charakter... The authors name (Zentmeister) is German and on webnovel he states that he is US-amerikan which leads me to believe, that he is writing his "dream"... As a rightwing US-American with German heritage...

          But, I'd rather make a fool of myself by making wrongful accusations than. Knowingly endorse hatred.

          I really hope the author is a decent person...

        still curious why they wont be updated considering it will likely result in the story not making sense when it moves from the pre-rewrite arc to the post-rewrite chapters.
        like, is it technical difficulties or just laziness to not want the hassle?

      Is there a major change happened on the re-writes, that may heavily influence the future chapters? Or it's just editing it to be more readable?

    I held on for a long time but dropped . I'm just tired of the fact that mc kicks a dead dog in the form of his brother for so long, instead of describing at least some of his possessions and technologies that he introduced, but the author simply writes like an evil little bitch who likes to humiliate his brother who will die soon, why do this, and even so many chapters, I don’t know. If the author thinks that this makes mc cool, then no, it's just boring and shows that mc and the author have the character of a child and not the ruler of a future empire, so get hung up on such rubbish ... Also pseudo perversions about how he will f#ck his brother's bride on his bed ...

    Why it was written, I did not understand.if the author wanted to make r-18 and a hero without morality with perverted inclinations, then he would have done it to the end, and not this nonsense in which he takes one paragraph in each chapter, a description of how he f#cks Linde, instead of some interesting information about the novel and life his estate. From the beginning to this chapter of the plot, there are 3 pages, and the description and construction of your strength and army is even less. Boring, monotonous, without details. I don’t feel the world of the novel, but only a pseudo pervert who thinks that cheating on his bride is cool .... and that if he no longer has women, then it’s the norm that there are 2 of them ... I don’t see the difference between 2 and 10 if you follow the logic.
    All I can say is that it's a very weak novel, and comparing it to "Release that Witch", as I noted in the comments,this is blasphemy. Another passing novel, it's just better than 90% of the writings of 15-year-old boys on this site, I'm talking about fanfiction or originals taken from a web novel, which I don't consider novels at all. Maybe it will be better later, but for some reason I doubt it, not to mention the fact that I didn’t even fully complain about the dead logic of the novel, because I wrote it off as a complete fantasy, including the EQ of the characters. But even the fact that after the "rape" Linda remained in the rapist's family, even despite the fact that he was her fiance, and neither of the two families was embarrassed ... or at least the author simply forgot to describe the emotions that those around him experienced at that time ...In general, this novel is a maximum of 3 stars, at least you can read it, but not at all the masterpiece that they say in the comments.
    There are practically no actions and details in this novel, such an impression that the author is simply too lazy to describe in more detail, whether it is the feelings of people or their actions. Also, the concept of time in this novel is sovereignly vague, because sometimes a couple of lines are enough to convince a person’s faith that has been with him all his life. Maybe it didn’t happen right away, but as I said because the novel is with a dead soul and practically without details, one gets the impression that because of the two words mc, the characters around him believe in the words of God and do not doubt his statements (maybe they doubt it, but since there is no description of their feelings and thoughts ...)
    Everything in the novel happens according to fantastic logic and magic, such an impression that people are absolutely fictional (although this is how it is), I'm talking about the emotions they experience and their actions. Just like most novels, for some reason the author depicts the characters of the Middle Ages not as people, but as savages with the power and brains of 5 year old children, and makes his mc supermind. There is no plot armor in this novel, just because everything happens for the benefit of our mc.
    This novel is without much depth and detail, just a little reading to pass the time, because for me personally I almost immediately forgot it as soon as I read it, only the general plot remains in my memory, which is stretched from 20 pages to 400.
    For me, this novel is 3 stars, and then with a stretch no more, another passing novel.
