Having finished vol 1, and seeing as no reviews exist for this on either the LN or the WN, I thought I should leave one, at least to help convince anyone mildly put off by the synopsis to try it out.This LN has all the makings for a dramatic war record, with a decently competent MC who (so far) knows how to establish a lordship. The novels starts off dramatically just moments after the death of the demon king and takes off from there, quickly establishing the characters surrounding the MC, the details around them, and the just enough of the situation to not leave the reader in the dark. Past the first chapter, the story quickly settles into the main plot of army building and the glimpse of war.If there are people put off by the synopsis (which I was myself at first), let me assure you this LN isn't the fun MC will steamroll everyone type (at least from Vol 1). Contrary to the synopsis, the MC isn't at all the happy-go-lucky, "everything will go my way" type that such a descriptor usually implies. The MC is fairly realistic, quickly getting over a break up of a burnt out relationship. And while there is no "woe is me, " the MC seems to take the experiences she's had from it to form her opinion on how to build her army. And while the MC has the "good luck" effect around her, it doesn't play a major role like other more convoluted storylines with "good luck" powered MCs. Rather the MC herself is smart enough and stubbornly hardworking enough to make the changes needed build the foundations of an army.For anyone interested in a decent fantasy war novel, but put off by the easy going tone of the synopsis, I do recommend giving it a try.
