Hello everyone! I am the current translator of "The Demon King Seems to Conquer the World". I would just like to address some of the reviews who have generally only read up to chapters 60-80. In the beginning, this novel is very slow as this is where world-building and character development/showcasing characters begin. Demon King is set in a medieval fantasy Scandinavia where there are a lot of religious and racial tensions which are all explained in a very long lecture chapter which I will admit that even I had to skip. However, this information is necessary for the future of the story in which all of the action and adventure parts take place.After we get out of the main childhood arcs and into the young adult/adulthood stages, we are shown a lot of new female characters who most will believe to be a future harem for the protagonist, but don't worry! There is NO harem tag for the web novel, and everyone can rest assured that there is no harem up to the point I have read. Action, adventure, romance, and basically everything that is promised in the tags are given from this stage up, and this is when the real story begins. Although the first 70~ chapters were used primarily as world-building which is hard for some people to digest, the payout for reading up to that point feels great with realistic characters, a great romance, dueling, warfare, and some political scheming.
