Liam Sera Banfield is a reincarnator.

He had reincarnated into a fantasy world of magic and swords, but at the time the civilization had already been making advancements into outer space.

The setting takes place in an intergalactic empire, a space opera-like universe where humanoid weapons and spaceships battle.

Liam, who had been reborn into an aristocratic family in a monarchic society, has the ambition to one day become an evil lord.

In his previous life, Liam had unfortunately lost everything and died in despair.

— It’s foolish to live for others.

— I will live for myself.

Keeping those feelings in his heart, he has decided to fulfill his goal, but is instead worshipped as a virtuous ruler due to his difference in values.

Will Liam be able to become an evil lord?

This is my favorite novel of 2019.

Honestly, it's a fun read and the story have so many different points of views and movements, but the author makes the complexity of it all seem so simple that you don't even realize it.

Pretty good so far, MC thinks he's evil while actually doing good around him.

Don't expect space opera levels of how the universe works though, it's clearly here for plot convenience.

Onto Zetro's translation site first, I highly suggest using the ToC or NU's page to navigate through the volumes as pressing next after a volume does not land you to the next chapter. I ended up reading Vol 11 to Vol 13 before going back to Vol 12 because of it.

People call Liam discount Cid or discount Lelouch, but to me MC is just Veigar if he had a different trauma (Mordekaiser vs woman). MC acts evil for the sake of but his acts are interpreted as acts of good... more>> deed by many people around him. He can try his best to "act evil", but his virtuous past of enduring though bad times is still a part of him.

Bro finds a fiancée in Volume 3 but finally decides to marry her by Vol 9 & does it at Vol 10/11. He's slow on the uptake, but he gets the job done.

I would rate the early part a 6/10 but it becomes a solid 7/10 read with solid enough comedy. It's no masterpiece like ReZero, but it's still an enjoyable enough read. It has a repetitive story by design, similar to other webnovel story format such as Death March, Space Mercenary, Farming Isekai, etc... but the plot progression of this is enough to keep you reading without fully getting bored by the same formula repeating itself every volume. <<less

Overall, there were some funny moments and it was interesting to read. But eventually the guide's antics get boring and the plot creeps sideways instead of in depth and it gets bad.

In the seventh volume, the author suddenly introduces elves, orcs, and goblins, and... Safely forgets about them! And this at a time when the different factions are fighting for the throne and the author already doesn't have time to reveal everything properly. Next, this very politics will unfold in the most illogical way possible.

There seems to be no plan... more>> for development. Example - new races (which weren't even hinted at) and kidnapping the protagonist to a fantasy world to defeat the Demon King. It all turns the story into tr*sh.

The harem is a painful one. He declares that he will collect it, but he rejects all women. With Rosetta, he was dragging his feet until volume 10... In general, a complete lack of balls like in another novel by this author, World of Otome Games is Tough For Mobs. He is told to leave an heir, but he refuses and finds ridiculous excuses. In general, his behavior is more childlike, and he doesn't act like someone who had a child in a past life.

The last volumes are complete nonsense. You wait for him to improve a little and get some fan service with Rosetta, but no. The author makes a huge time skip and spawn an almost adult son! <<less

Okay, I don't usually write reviews but this story is a good one.

It doesn't have any usual seriousness a shounen genre should but is more of a light read to pass the time so no need to think too much.

The way it was written? I won't say anything, those who reviewed with low rates all stated the wrongs of the author, but as I said, this is a light read to pass the time, no need to think about it.

MC is not dense doormat. He have misunderstood himself by thinking he's doing evil acts but in reality he's like the pinnacle nobleness, other than that single big misunderstanding he's good at everything else. He's not dense to girls and not soft towards pirates and villains, he will eradicate the enemies without mercy.

It is a good noval, that author is quite talented, I read the sevens and other series, all of them are good, (if you exempt the "dragoon", everyone have their up and downs)

I have read this to the point of him fighting the space pirates for 'treasures' and 'disfigured princess knight' whom is a royalty.

Anyways this novel goes maximum firepower in terms of 'plot-holes' and 'plot-armors'

Reasons:

1- If Liam doesn't know a thing or is a pinch, he goes to a 'capsule' that teaches him as a school does and that in term gives you "HUGE!!" see those two exclamation marks? They are there for a reason. He literally became 50 years old before I was even interested in the novel and it... more>> was said that its normal adults age, lmao. Spare me.

2- in these "HUGE!!" Time skips there has been literally nothing interesting besides a scammer teacher whos produces results when I don't even know how XD?

3- THE MC's IQ Levels are just something man, His prev life was like a tragic one "What I read" and that should teach you one thing or another about so told 'Life' but gosh its just a repetition with the plot armor of "white glow"

Me:"Spare me of this idiocity!!!!!" *Screaming into oblivion"

4- The maid Robot/Android he purchased 2nd chapter in has "ZERO" impact on his EQ/IQ throughout those 50 years, imagine this bullshit. 50 years can make a ret*rd into a wise man while he didn't grow up which makes me conclude one thing. This whole novel is full of ret*rds just by the standards of age, "Hallejuah!"

5- I had to tolerate the scammer teacher, the idiotic MC who's 20-50 years old with a time capsule that bestows knowledge and to add it all up, the forced events that are created by the Evil Business Man & White Glow to save the day which is like throwing a ball into the air and catching it by the same hand.

I wasn't even bothered to fix my grammar for this one, refer to "SnoopyGM" For a better Review that screams out my inner thoughts.

Evaluation: Supreme tr*sh on Untold Levels Which I Never Knew Existed. <<less

Hello, everyone. Now this is another work by the author of Mobuseka. Who has a reputation of mostly angering the fans. The novel is really fun to read if you like misunderstanding and not so serious plots.

But here's the thing, the author is known for adding unnecessary questionable annoying things such as yuri on his work Mobuseka. Now, on this work the author decided to make a girl obsessed with pairing the MC with this one guy. Crazy, right? Now, here's some lil spoiler.

... more>>
Spoiler

The girl got found out to be having a bl comic about our MC and also some pictures clearly out of line (basically not respecting even the mc's privacy) by the mc's head knight (Marie and Tia who's overly obsessed with the mc) Now, what did they do? They forgave her supposedly because the girl threatened the two and also because the two wanted the pictures causing this annoying bl things to continue in the story. No such things as bl happened, but it will never be fun reading the pov of this bl crazed girl everytime always talking about pairing the MC with his friend in a romantic way.

[collapse]

This is only few of the annoying things the author added in the story. Honestly, his way of annoying readers ought to be considered a talent at this point. Overall, its decent. No serious plot, Dumb MC who doesn't change whose every action creates misunderstanding (Basically he thinks his action is all evil but instead it leads to good things). Also, seeing that nothing ever changes to the MC emotionally, much less mature, I believe the story won't go beyond misunderstandings and will continue being the same thing every volume which is this kind of process: Misunderstanding>Pov of this bl crazed girl>Time skip>Misunderstanding and continue. <<less

This story is a genuine disappointment. It had an interesting premise, setting and villain, and just went downhill from that. The MC had no character development, at all. He never learned to be a better person, but he never went off the deep end and became a villain either. He was just kinda stuck there as some sort of chuuni killing people with robots, and this attitude never bit him in the arse because his subordinates are literally the most competent people ever and he valued their judgements despite never... more>> having any real emotional moment with any of them.

MC is the archetypal OP main character. The problem is with other OP MCs their authors compensated lack of any serious fights with comedic undertones, dramatic subplots and/or interpersonal dynamics; things that never appeared in this series. <<less

I'm the evil lord of an intergalactic galaxy is a great story to read. I sympathize with the MC's past life and had somewhat the same life experience though not that harsh. And I enjoyed his exploits and accolades.

The misunderstandings are so much fun to read and weaved greatly into the story. Though at times I predicted some that is going to happen, happen I still enjoyed how the author made the out come.

Amagi, Elis, Marie, Tia, Wallas and the other characters made the story more colorful with their unique... more>> characteristics. It was interesting and fun to read as the story progresses. The maids' squables where also entertaining and I had tons of laughs.

I've just read the sixth volume of the light novel and am looking forward to buy the new volume next time. <<less

This is not a review but instead for you all who reads a bad review from normie-ass people about this series

1. Tax

I don't know why people is so concerned how the taxation works in intergalactic era, and as you read the author actually doesn't seem like bothered to because that is not the point of this series, for the reader to comprehend an intergalactic era of taxation because I bet the author doesn't even have a useful reference, but idiot normie-ass people do insist to have in a bullsh*t intergalactic... more>> fantasy, but anyways just to help you. We start off from the first 12 years of the economy of the series. In the first 2 years Liam have to give up/sell his spacecraft assets just to secure 2 years at least he has in this world while also being educated in an education capsule. From here along with his training Liam' government has underwent a vagabond hunt for corrupted officials. In the next decade, the economy structure, we could just put the Japanese kind of society because I bet that is all he has, now why I only said first 12 years, it's because after that he went head on with a certain pirate and won and recieve an item that could basically create anything out nothing (or at least some source) and after that his territory just do pirate hunting which they deemed more profitable than other means.

2. Plot armour

I'm gotta agree the series has thick armor, but when in combat he is no the only highlight almost all of his personnel and every different confrontation it is always different, take for an example this and imagine it, 70000 enemy spacecraft on one side and half of it is the allied forces with big mothership for days they are waiting who to have the first move why? Because the enemy knew the strategic commander on the allied forces is formidable along with their leader, then suddenly out of nowhere on the side o the enemy forces space warps HS started appearing one after another and it's the forces of the allied forces along with the rinforcement he has because of his relationship with other elader they sent him help. The only plot armor they are referring to it is because Liam won't just die, but what are you gonna do he is actually filthy rich as well as his bribes with competent people he can survive as well as good relationship with merchants and spacecraft factory, not only that the mecha he is using is from a hero in the past in his territory which is his grandfather, and it's also not Liam's fault that he could get certain items that will help him, and that is the next topic

3. The guide

The guide is not a god just so normies still insist, the guide and is what refer to as transient beings or being who is just able to make use of higher dimensions than what we in reality could perceive in, like for example thee guide is not all knowing, if he saw ain interesting toy to make miserable then he will do it but he doesn't know everything he doesn't know what everyone has because he is not an omnipotent being like a "god" but he has knowledge bout almost everthin because he is a transicnet beings that could go to other worlds easily as well as control people's emotion which a transient being could do.

4. Girls

This is harem oh indeed there are actually a lot of harem potential in it but not all of them, most readers of this I bet is just "Only Amagi fans" and other girls are just plainly disappointment and very much disappointment for Liam who has first hand on it his past wife, but those girls are made like just for comedy nothing else heck the protagonist is not even serious about all of them only for Amagi he has his heart.

5. World. Buildingg

The world building is just so insane this one I can't explain for you need a higher fantasy thinking to understand why this series has just insane world or universe <<less

Plot "was" interesting. MC was evil from his perspective while he did good things. But it just becomes too repetitive that it becomes boring/s*upid sometimes. The main to comedy of the story was supposed to be guide getting tortured by liam's gratitude. While the guide is funny, MC is not.

MC wants to build a harem but doesn't touch women. His female subordinates are so desperate (they're loyal & he knows) but he simply ignored them (he's not dense), he even ignored his fiancee for years and shared bed only after... more>> marriage. Dude deserves to be cucked. If his female subordinates gives advice, he simply asks "Are you s*upid?". Quite toxic towards his female subordinates & mistress women, I understand that he was cheated on but still he's knows that they're loyal, although they're idiotic and annoying in some aspects, but still.

For some time I thought author might've made all that cuz he wanted things to be funny but that's not the case. We're in volume 9 & author is not really keeping up the MC but downgrading him with ofcourse making him the greatest person. <<less

This novel is very bland. To be honest, It has lot of potential as "Evil Lord" just like what this novel title is. But there is lot of problem, the plot is very force and also for the sake of comedy.

-The Guide is only for the sake of comedy. I don't get it, why author use it. Its purely tr*sh to use the Guide as the plot.

-MC know his Master Yasushi is a scammer yet he still glorify him. Ofcourse for the sake of comedy again.

-Nevermind the Age and timeline... more>> in this novel. It doesn't make any sense. A Crown Prince (very older than the MC) is an idiot even they have education capsule. Why use Educational Capsule if people still dumb even they use it? I know, because it is part of the plot. LAME PLOT

-Tax and infrastructure, economic of his "planets" territory, author didn't make it clear, its like doesn't exist to this novel. I don't even know how many his populations.

-MC's subordinates pop up everywhere without solid background

-MC's harem is non existent. He keeps talking about having a harem for himself but he never touch his wife and mistress. BETA MC.

-Every plot is favorable to him and after that MC will thank again the Guide. Repeat and rinse. Author never tired doing that for the sake of comedy. I don't even understand about the Dog.

-MC killing and increasing his influence in the capital yet the Emperor doesn't do anything. Seems like the Emperor is also non existent and will just pop up nowhere to become the stepping stone of the MC and also for the sake comedy once more.

-MC's parent/Clan. Author forgot them. I understand that they leave all territory to MC who is like 5 years old, why? Because of the Guide that is the plot however from what this Guide can do is to manipulate negative feelings. But how come the Guide manipulate the whole clan to leave all the territory to MC who is like 5 years old? Author didn't clarify it and just said its common to leave it heir and live on the capital. Favorable plot for MC so he can be the king in his territory. Only dumb author who will use this kind force plot.

-MC is delusional by keep talking to himself about being the Evil Lord and he wants no one order him around but he never have the ambitious to be the Emperor. He support the 3rd Prince and ask for a compensation to have his territory independent when the 3rd Prince become emperor. If it just like that then the MC better to be the lord of pirate. MC have mental disorder.

To summarize:

I rate this novel 2/5 (Make a better plot and stop this forced comedy)

I don't recommend this novel. MC is delusional. Forced Plot, Forced Comedy, All characters is idiot despite using Educational Capsule. Its a waste of time.

Better read "To be in Power From the Shadows" than this novel. <<less

First thing - it's greatly written. It's just that pleasant to read. I couldn't bear it, and went to check, what've the author done beside this, and... Wow. "World of Otome games is hard for mobs", one of my favourite novels. But this one is even better!

It's not a serious story. Comedic undertone is so strong, it could be even called a parody series. But the army building aspect here is anything but a joke. Most prominent part and a culmination of each volume is huge scale space battles with... more>> tens of thousands of battleships and cqc with small mecha/mobile armour.

This novel combines a lot of my beloved tags - misunderstandings, sci-fi, fantasy, AI, loyal subordinates. I like how MC has a lot of "power" - not only personal fighting strengh, but the one of a ruler. Be it bribes, information gathering or personal assassin corps, you will believe that he will get anything he wants in this world, not because of some fickle "plot armour", but because of everything he built with his own efforts and decisions (even with a joke reasoning like "I want to be the best villain").

For me the only problem is the lack of proper side characters. Just as main character is great, they all are lacking as much. Most of them are treated as (and actually are) just a joke. It's getting better recently, with multiple POV's, and some of the new ones have great potintial, but we really need to spend more time with them. I pray for greater Amagi's presence!

Anyway, it's great as a whole and still has lots of potential. This author has become my favourite, and his works are just increasing in quality with time. Bias 10/10 from me, would read again. <<less

TLDR: First 6 volumes were 5 stars, but the novel started declining in quality from there. Overall though, I would recommend trying this novel out as it started out very strong and will definitely keep you entertained for a very long time. I went into this novel knowing that it was a comedy gag novel and I enjoyed every bit of it for the first 6 volumes. I enjoyed the novel so much, that I decided to read the raw version of it because I got impatient with the translation.

Volumes... more>> 1-6 were funny, interesting, and a completely new concept to me which made me want to give the novel a 5-star review. The minor "farfetched" reasonings that the author made to create jokes were ignored because they were at least somewhat reasonable, interesting, and funny.

Volumes 7-10 were a nightmare in my opinion that dropped the novel from a solid 5-stars to only a 3-stars. The jokes started to repeat, the explanations became so farfetched that I found myself TRYING to come up with an explanation for how the settings were reasonable only to not be able to. In addition, the fact that the MC would refuse to have relationships with real women was pretty pathetic. I'm fine with the MC having a legitimate reason like Ainz from Overlord who is physically unable to do so as he is a skeleton or honestly even the MC being straight-up gay is fine. But when the MC constantly yells that he wants to have a harem of beautiful girls and doesn't actually do anything to his "harem" that is where I draw the line.

I highly recommend reading this novel, but don't expect too much from the later volumes. <<less

So far, this novel has been great. The MC keeps gaining more and more followers throughout the story without even noticing. The next thing I'm about to say may be wrong, but I'm going to say it anyway. The basis of this whole novel is misconceptions and misunderstandings. For someone who enjoys irony, I highly suggest you read this novel. It has mild and witty jokes, and frankly, I just feel happy when reading this novel. To me, it feels like an amazing work of literature. There are so many... more>> mysterious things that happen during the begining that coincide with things happening later. The mystery also keeps it interesting. I always enjoy anticipating on what the MC may do next. Most of the time it's unpredictable. Plus, there are numerous factors that keep you wondering 'What is that?', and 'What is going to happen?'.

I'm really excited and anxious for the next chapter. <<less

It took until the main characters martial arts training was in full swing for me to start enjoying it properly, but after that it's been highlight after highlight.

Despite often stepping into cliché, the author has kept the story, beyond just the comedy, surprisingly engaging. A lot of novels of this type lose their luster after the first volume when the author has used up all his vaguely original ideas. This one is still going strong and, if anything, seems to be getting better.

Since I have a lot of love for the power fantasies, (lucky) misunderstanding comedies and pseudo-bad guy main characters, this novel is predictably one of my favourites. Don't expect anything here to change your mind if you already know you don't like that kind of thing yourself. <<less

Look, these kind of novels aren't exactly masterpieces. The amount of webnovels I truly consider good can be counted on one hand. But this one is like a tasty burger; yummy while you're eating it but far from the epitome of good taste. It's good fun watching the MC thwart plans and fight cool battles, but at the back of your head while you're reading it is just the notion that this is kind of shallow. Nevertheless I enjoy reading it and is a good story to just turn off... more>> your brain and have an afternoon to waste. <<less
