I read ahead of the raws at Chapter 243, and it's good.No power trip. No bullshit. No harem. Just pure strategy and politics.MC is basically isekai'd into another world but he is just a random mob. He's not even a named character, he's just the random NPC friend of the Hero who happened to be a noble. He doesn't want to die so he helps around the Kingdom as the son of a Count, and he uses his Earth knowledge about tactics and basic science to his advantage. He also has knowledge on the general "plot" of this world he got isekai'd to but he only remembers the big events.Pros:+ MC knows his shit. He is confident and he feels believably competent.+ Video game logic is given explanation, most of the time even taken advantage of.+ MC has no OP abilities or skills so he wins via his army and his strategies, not his strength alone.+ Romance takes a backseat, but it slowly develops over time and is not forced. No Harem!+ Female Lead actually becomes politically relevant in later chapters, so she doesn't just exist to be the waifu.+ MC's friendship with the Hero is believable. They act and talk to each other like brothers, and there is little to no jealousy or animosity between them.Cons:- Can get really text-heavy sometimes. Explanations we do not need to hear are not cut out.- I sometimes want to see what's going on with the Hero side of things, but we are never given that perspective.- The enemies are mostly idiotic muscle-brains. As of chapter 159, MC has yet to face an enemy that is as strategically competent as he is.- MC's allies kinda simp for him. I don't remember any characters that have bad or neutral opinion of him, there are but they aren't even named.- There are so many important names to keep track of, most of the time I barely remember who that person is and what their contribution was.The translation is good, though there are mistakes sometimes. I suggest you give this one a try if you like war strategy and tactics.
