This is a great misunderstanding type novel. The MC lived a life as a "good" person and ended up being exploited and cheated on thus living a miserable life. So when he reincarnates to become an "Evil Lord" although most of the time when he tries to be evil it's misinterpreted as good deeds.Some of the lucky events remind me of Irresponsible Captain Tylor with the slight difference that the MC and his subordinates are super competent. Most of these events are due to "The Guide" who is a malevolent entity whose only goal is to make the MC suffer and who's only weakness is when other feel grateful towards him that weakens him. Naturally each time The Guide tries to plot against the MC it backfires and the MC thanks The Guide believing he is looking out for him much to The Guide's chagrin.I'd say the main genres are Comedy and then Sci-fi/Fantasy. So if you're looking for something funny this is great but if looking for a more serious novel then it probably isn't for you since the plot is subservient to the comedy.
