It's OK-ish. It is above average, but also not enough for me to call it good. Try a read if you enjoy the focus on how things work or reading writer's research. Might not be interesting for those who enjoy grander fantasy stories or drama.The 'reincarnated as mob character' bit is pretty old, but instead of going in the direction of stealing/fixing hero's jobs like usual, the story focuses on the difficulties and complexities of background events in the grand fantasy story like army and logistics. An isekai mob story that actually focuses on mob activities. The concept and the storylines are decent, though execution can be a bit lacking.Characters are dumbed down a bit to make MC looks smart. Not as painful as how many other tr*sh novels did, but still very much there. Very basic tactics and knowledge were praised. But then again, IRL Art of War was mostly basic tactics and got high praise because of how incompetent nobles/commanders were back then.The worst part of the novel is the info dump to show the writer's research. While those did highlight the difficulties and complexities of the most mundane background event in the common stories which is the point of this story, it still gets more than a bit tiring when maybe a third or more of the writing are info dumps. The dumps are also often of middling quality/accuracy with quite a bit of artistic licensing, especially with military and noble hierarchy/culture.
