Firstly, I would like to point out that there are 50 likes on a (crude, extremely pessimistic, and shallow) review where the reviewer only read up till chapter 3 in a novel with more than 330 chapters.Secondly, why are so many reviewers rating this so low and dissing strategies used by MC? Saying that MC is being over-elaborate is extremely idiotic of you. The MC uses strategies to counter his opponents, while at the same time minimising loss of life and damages to the Adler Empire, even though he puts his own life at risk. I've seen novels with worse plots, and cheesy romance involved, get more than 4 stars in their ratings, I can tell that whoever wrote those reviews calling this a stereotypical novel with cheesy romance, harems, chuunibyou MC, and an overpowered protagonist halo skimmed through the novel. Yes, I see you who wrote that this had HAREM AND ROMANCE. You shallow people who cannot tell the difference between tr*sh and a book worthy of a five star review, kindly get incompetent arses out of here as you are impeding a good book from rising up in the rankings.To the person that though it would be smart to diss a book after reading only three chapters, you skull is likely far too thick for your brain to be able to think, my apologies for your involvement in this review as you didn't understand just what you were messing around with. I do hope that when humanity manages to create a skull replacement surgery, you will be able to think your next review through. That review was very crudely done, and only gave a pessimistic insight into the book.Finally, I shall speak about this amazing novel that most readers are prone to judging and abandoning after skimming through the first fifty chapters. The MC is quite mysterious and "shounen" in the beginning, but his motivation as to why he became and adventurer in the first place are slowly revealed. Familial relationships play a big part in this, as well as political strategies, and alliances. Some parts require inferring but unless your brain is non-existent in this realm, you should be able to understand it. Some parts of this fantastic novel can get you to chuckle, even if it is in the middle of a war. The plot seems carefully planned (Similar to that fo TCF and ORV) and crafted is that the MC is someone who can be heavily disadvantaged at times. MC in general is someone with many hidden sides, cunning and sly, but extremely loyal and caring to his family and friends. He puts the Empire before his life, and is similar to Cale Henituse and Kim Dokja in this way (Again, TCF and ORV readers, this is an amazing one even though it's Japanese) but less extreme. Though there are traces of romance, you can skim through those parts and harem? What harem? The imperial family is kind of complicated but it's interesting to read the political parts. Sure, it gets boring at some points, but reading those parts makes it easier to digest later chapters, and the motives of characters. Characters shown in a bad light and designated villains are also shown in positive perspectivesSpoiler

[collapse]. This makes the story feel all the more intimate. All in all, I highly recommend those that have read Omniscient Reader's Viewpoint, as well as tr*sh of the Count's Family, and liked them, read this extremely underrated novel. The beginning might be a bit bumpy, but it's amazing overall.
