I've been reading another LN from this author, the one based on pre-dark ages Rome, but with elves. Then I heard about ONFC and started reading it too. The narrative seemed much more simple, the setting also was pre-dark ages-ish in technology, and the premise was similar, except the MC wasn't born into nobility but transmigrated into a soul of an orphan (something like Ascendance of a Bookworm, the original soul dies and the reincarnated soul takes over the body).The story's begginings are simpler and more humble, the MC finds about 30 other orphans and they start a village. It was great to read the evolution of said village thru tech and conflict, territorial takeovers and so on. But I kinda stopped in a point where I felt it was going the path of lazy writing. Spoiler
It might be hypocrisy of my part, since I didn't have so much problem with magic and the "blessings", which were quite OP. But I can't stand OP villains that teleport and whisper "do this and that" into a character's ears and the character just does it. The "witch" of Rozel kingdom seems to be one such villain, it reminds me strongly of B*tch Princess in Shield Hero, I have lost the excitement I was feeling about this WN because I can't stand this kind of conflict.
[collapse] Maybe I'll keep reading it, but I hope this point doesn't become the central conflict of ONFC.
