It feels refreshing to read a well-written novel amongst the tr*shes and filths that are CN novels and most LNs nowadays. Read it on your own, you gonna either hate it or love it. If you like 3d characters, somewhat decent romance and some territory building then you are in the right place. MY THOUGHT ON THE MC Well, most the 1-star review here bit*h about the MC, that is due to the misleading summary and their expectation. They were expecting the MC to be some uber demon king who wreaks shits, dominate people and having some Oyakodon s*x with his wife and daughter. They got a normal mediocre MC who act like a gentleman and has the decency to not jump his cute, sexy, clingy adoptive daughter and his beautiful stoic mistress whose common sense does not exist. Excuse him for not acting like a horndog and having a strong moral fiber in his being. Also, most of the action makes sense. He is, after all, is just a normal s*ave with no extraordinary power or skill, so if he wants to live, he has to do undignified things. That is typical of being a s*ave. So I don't see a reason to bit*h about it. Besides, he has plenty of chances to jump both his daughter and mistress but won't due to his standard, that is admirable. It good to see an MC that not follow the stereotype of being: A horndog who thinks with his pen*s. A ret*rded motherf*cker who is too s*upid to live yet keep living like a c*ckroach due to plot armor. A mastermind who know it all and play several Xanatos speed chess match at once. An omnicidal maniac who just go around killing people left and rightIt's much more interesting to read about regular joes doing great things than an OP character doing great things. Don't get me wrong, it's fine to write an OP character. Just make him challenged. We read stories to see characters struggle and overcome challenges. Although it is cool to read and OP characters overcome challenges with a wave of a hand for the first few times, it gets boring fast. This is unfortunately forgotten by many LN writers nowadays and as a result, created the great pile of tr*sh known as "Typical Isekai". They also forgot that there are many other ways to challenge a character than just physical challenge. Challenge his mind, challenge his sanity, challenge his relationships and challenge his morals like the author did in this Novel.
