OK, I've dumped a fair amount of coins on this, and it's time to give initial feedback. The writing is rough. Could use an Editor's loving touch or at least a few passes through Grammerly.But that doesn't matter because the plot moves along at a decent pace, without any false attempts at high style or fancy interiority. The author knows what we here for a and gives it to us. An ambitious upstart who uses his secret geeky knowledge from his former primary world life to carve his own kingdom.We have a low-fantastic secondary world that roughly mirrors our own, specifically the Classical Hellenic world of the Peloponnesian Wars. The story roughly starts as Anabasis and then morphs into Alexander's Persian campaign. The smut and harem building is meh. Having slavegirls actually say "uwu" is tacky. The main squeeze girlboss-hear-me-roar somehow defeats a veteran hoplite with a weight, height, reach, and experience advantage, which is just silly. But I guess anime watching kids expect this these days.All in all, it's not Blood and Steel, but already better than the abortion that was Tyranny of Steel. Author-kun should consider reading John Norman's Gor novels for inspiration and style cues for putting slavegirls to use. Overall, 7/10 as of now, will keep reading.
I love the fact that the MC is not an arrogant A..Hole like in other stories.It is quite refreshing to read about a down to earth mc.I especially liked the part where he was not bothered about not being a Ying Yang Master. Many other MCs tend to go angsty and broody in such situations.Author and Translation Team, keep up the excellent work!

I read it up until it's 'Finale not finale chapter' and liked it, unfortunately the author didn't really finish it. He wrote fairly far into the story but at some point decided to drop it(for health? work? lack of interest? lack of money flowing in?) when realistically it was more than halfway done. The 'Finale not finale' chapter lays out the rest of the story in almost bullet point form so you at least know he had a rough plan for the rest.I really liked it too, and at least it wasn't fully dropped...but still!
