I am the Monarch

Description

Links are NOT allowed. Format your description nicely so people can easily read them. Please use proper spacing and paragraphs.

Roan ran away 20 years ago from his rural village in the aim of becoming a Great General. However, all he got 20 years later was just a handful of money and the lowly position of squad commander of the First Legion’s.

In the end, he became a cold corpse in the battlefield… but somehow, he came back in the past.

“Alright. This time, I won’t become a Great General but a Monarch.”

His previous life’s aim was becoming a Great General, but, he only became a spearman squad commander.

This time, his life’s aim is becoming the Monarch.

“Then I guess I’d become at least a General, right?”

Roan, who remembers 20 years of his future, now starts his unstoppable march.

A solder who's dream was to be a general but dies with a low rank. With such regrets he suddenly ends up back in the past with his younger body. With all the history and him marching around, he decides to not be a general but to aim higher. That was to be a monarch.

At first the story was really interesting to read as the character progression and story building was nice and added onto it, but the story starts to stagnate later on when the main character has become... more>> comfortable.

After being comfortable for so long, there werent that much character building and suddenly the main character is seen with esteem and fame and what not. As I read through the arc I felt a lack of direction and didnt really feel the main character had deserved that glory. The author doesnt emphasize much on how he gains these beneficial events and are only part of the story at the end of a chapter where the cliff hanger is, but is not explained after in the next chapters. <<less

I have mixed feeling about this novel, I admit this novel isnt bad as I having enjoyable ride. But some aspect of this novel so ridiculous that make everyone wouldnt be comfortable with it.

Pros :

1. Start as pretty good, we got MC who has nothing first and relied his past memories change his destiny.

... more>> 2. The characters isnt forgettable and having roles on their own, altho some are lacking.

3. MC didnt relies on nasty plot/drug plot (like CN novel) or have wimpy like character, he is decisive.

4. There's no harem.

5. Enjoyable ride, the plot are unpredictable (which is also cons) and most arc are having good conclusion (especially at earlier leaving good impression).

Cons :

1. End of story feel to rushed, like MC come out to last enemy and just dealing it within 2 chapter, which the arc itself have so much bs* explaining plot.

2. The plot unpredictable, because author keep spawning new character and major plot out of nowhere everytime without foreshadowing (altho MC supposed to know the future). Instead, MC somehow know a lot strategies and tactic from genius from previous life which is weird since he is common soldier in his old life. Its also sometimes made me skimming a chapter.

3. MC subordinate have too much faith and a lot moment wasteful just to make pov from other character, even mob just to let the readers that MC are incridible being.

Overall its story you can diggin, and could enjoy about kingdom tale, but not much as rokuin no musshou/overlord. 4/5 <<less

There are novels that try pad chapters with the least amount of effort, and then there is this novel.

I am not going to spoil any of the plot because I think its interesting and its doesn't take many chapters to get engrossed in the story.

The author goes ALL-OUT on the plot, it is heavily plot driven story and the plot is very very interesting. The plot progresses very quickly and by around chap 150 you kind of know where stuff is going.

Minor nitpicks are that you'll have to get used... more>> the author writing a ton of character thoughts in single quotes. So you constantly have to squint at the quotation mark to see if its a single quote (character thought) or double quote (character speech). <<less

Listen here and know this simple fact

i only ever give 4 stars to 2 novel that is Mushoku Tensei and Tsuki ga Michibuku and this will be the third one

This is the definiton of "reversed time" Manhwa Done right the characters makes a lot of sense and humane (something that is rare for novel) the Battle seems a little lacking for me but meh have read worse. The MC does the thing every sane person will do if he/she reversed time (that is use everything to strengthen your position) so... more>> yeah overall 4/5 the Translation COULD be better but for me it's good enough <<less

Simply one of the best novels that actually draw me in the story and make me feel the emotions of the characters of the stories.

The MC is like a perfect character not like OP or anything, I mean he is actually ambitious about becoming a Monarch and that's a first for me all the MCs in the novel that I read are happy go lucky guys or revenge type that doesn't care about anything after the revenge the story ends with them having a harem and succeeding in saving the... more>> world and they go back in their normal life but this is different because he will become a Monarch his story will not end there it will and can continue and that's what I'm looking for stories just like those or better. <<less

The novel is great. The author did not forget that the MC matured for 20 years before going back in time. One thing I disliked in the plot is using of events that happened in the mc's previous life. I understand that the timeline did not become constant because of the actions of the MC but it still felt iffy to me.

How the author used to integrate the events that happened in the mc's life:

Spoiler

The author integrated the complete events that happened in the mc's previous life. For example, during the fight in the plains event, the tiniest detail such as an orc soldier tripping is followed in the current timeline. This is the first novel that I read that completely copy pasted the event. The only change in the events were during the times the MC make a move.
