I’m the Evil Lord of an Intergalactic Empire! Chapter v1 Discussion

If I were to describe this novel in one word, then it would be 'half-assed'.

Everything is half-assed here from the plot, world building, characters.

Spoiler

Where do we start? We begin with typical down the luck MC that got isekai'd into another world by seemingly a benevolent being, but there's a catch! Turn out the being was instead a malevolent being that live on people's despair. The surprise ended here, I was a fool for expecting something different.

The MC is reincarnated to another world that has reached Space Exploration Age, we were then introduced to various things that got couple of lines then promptly forgotten.

1. 1. Female android, with s*x function to boot. Apparently there were some kind of backstory involving android uprising in the past that makes the current people distrustful of them. It was promptly forgotten in couple of chapters and has no bearing at all for the future plot. The s*x function? Ignored.
   2. Domain management. It basically consist of MC sleeping in the capsule then some years passed with MC doing some mundane things like executing corrupt people then somehow the debt-ridden poor backwater domain with sparse population improved itself. Never mind that it was a whole galaxy with planet as capital, not some kind of backwater small domain.
   3. World building, the world is mixture of science and magic and that's pretty much the whole explanation. MC learned martial arts from a 3rd rated martial artist conman and somehow he managed to conjure all kind of move that wouldn't be out of place in wuxia with no explanation given. He could sense people despite them using the latest stealth technology, he could slice people wearing powered armor with a katana, he could conjure hammer space that provide various weaponry, again without any explanation or whatsoever.
   4. War. We got battleships in space, surely there would be a thing or two that differed right? Nope, the whole war basically consist of much bigger pirate fleets against MC small fleets, 6 to 1 ratio and the small fleets won by the virtue of not retreating despite the obvious disparage in number, never mind that the author has wasted couple of paragraphs explaining that the pirate fleets consist of latest technology ships. No strategy involved at all.
   5. Diabolos Ex Machina, remembered the malevolent being at the prologue? Well it would appear couple of times to foiled MC and make him suffered with the effectiveness of Sunday Morning Cartoon villain. It would concocted seemingly multiple villainous plans: sending the aforementioned conman as MC martial art master, sending military officers that has fell out of favor to MC domain, goading pirates fleet to attack MC domain. It was mentioned that the malevolent being couldn't interfere with matters directly, only making bad circumstances happened. Obviously the author promptly ignore it and made the being interfere directly after its various plan failed by directly giving a power up to the pirate boss. MC the proceed to cut up the pirate with his newfound artifact without breaking a sweat. Makes you wonder huh?
   6. MC. The MC was presented as a doormat that dying from sickness and multiple debts. He vowed to be an evil person at his next life. He would spent decades doing just that, being a virg*n, teetotaler and gullible person all around. The only 'evil' things he did is barking orders to his subordinates.

tl;dr: it's a turd that come out from a half-assed author. Only read this when you have plenty of time to spare, don't be fooled by the seemingly good reviews.
