Dungeon Battle Royale ~ Since I Became a Demon King, I Will Aim for World Domination ~ Chapter 279 Discussion

Alongside lazy dungeon master, this imho is the best dungeon master LN.

The MC is bound by the same rules, same system as the other demon king and thus start in the same starting line as his adversaries. He's not OP at all which I really like. Other than the basic, most of the world system and rules is unknown to everyone. It's like, the character are playing a new game with no tutorial and minimal explanation, let alone faqs (though the author sometimes explain the hidden mechanic of the world to the reader through end of chapter notes)

The interesting point about this LN is perhaps the setting which enable the reader to guess the endgame of the story. Spoiler just in case Spoiler

The story takes place in our current world. It's not an isekai. Shion, the MC, is a former Japanese university student who is chosen to be one of the milion demon king. Yes, the demon kings include foreigner from all around the world though until ch 54, he is just on the verge of conquering the city he lived in. From here we know that afterwards the story will progress on national scale and cross into international stage. I wonder what the demon king from north korea going to be...

The pacing and quality of the story is decent, but the length of a chapter is a bit short. If you thought that the novel has progressed so far because of its 270+ chapter then you will be dissapointed.

This is a spoiler far from the current translation Spoiler

The genre is shifting further from pure dungeon management after 100+ chapter and focused more on territory expansion and recruitment of promising personel. Most of the major battle in later story consisted of Army scale battle with both sides often having similar number or Shion's in disadvantegous position. If you have played rts games like total war series in hard mode, the story will progress to something like that. Including managing his conqured territory and forging alliance with other demon kings.
