A weird mix of normal isekai kingdom building* harem + revenge and insanity. As you'd expect it doesn't meld** well.

It's got all the flaws of both that I will not fully list and the only thing making me read further is the desire to get to the end.

* that looks to me more like playing house (though it is becoming marginally better at my current point—c85).

** at first I was reading it with a revenge, then normal isekai with revenge subplot mindset but then at my current point it started going into the trigger happy psycho + bipolar (cause psycho killer doesn't mesh with the normal isekai thingy) direction and my brain can't take it. The result of combining the two tones made it more of a trigger happy psycho story, so... Yeah, it's a psycho getting very distracted builing a kingdom and collecting harem, then getting revenge and becoming god*** at the end, I guess.

Since there's "so much hate" I'd rather read a more determined psycho if the author really wants to go in that direction.

Some kudos:

- the world seems really well-thought-out

- the chapters are long (though there were noticeable pads I see)

- the initial concept was good (the world and the premise, not the psycho-building-a-kingdom)

With that said, with the way the story was going into the kingdom building normal isekai route, I'd rather have it go the redemption/rehab/growth route and not going full blown psycho.

Just for the effort (?) and quality (in comparison to other isekais) I'd give this a 4, but overall for me this is a 3/5.

*** Just my guess. But that's where the trope was going.
