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 a unique novel that moves very fast, very straight, and very simple, and still managed to hold up nicely!

It's very engaging and entertaining to read, and I love this. There are other great novels that move slowly, but an ultra fast paced, time skipping novel is epic too!

Its a waste of time. Now, thats not necessarily a bad thing, all novels are in my opinion, however, some can leave you with a sense of satisfaction, while others leave you feeling bored. 2 stars may seem harsh but it's definitely closer to 2 than it is three. You get a lot of people that read slapstick sh*t like this and claim they're too smart to enjoy it, maybe they are, but honestly, I feel there is nothing wrong with enjoying something even if you recognise that it's objectively... more>> bad. The author seemed to have fun writing this, and many people seemed to enjoy reading it. If you are looking to while away your finite time before the grave, then this is a perfectly fine choice, though there are better options out there, at least for me. <<less

This is actually very interesting and funny to read.

In summary, the story is based on misunderstandings piling on top of the others which eventually leads to incongruous situations. The best example I could think of, would be "The Eminence in Shadows"; minus the chuunibyou part. Of course, the main character hones himself and eventually becomes OP as the story progresses, but it wouldn’t be amusing otherwise, right ?

Another point I wanted to talk about was the comment section. I read a lot of people were disappointed in the fact that... more>> the MC wasn’t actually EVIL, which is true. Well, I do believe you have rights to be disappointed if you wanted to read a story that was about an antagonist (since it’s not exactly the case) but you cannot call this tr*sh just because it wasn’t up to your standards. The writing/translation is pretty decent, and the story progression is steady. The only down part is that the characters are maybe too straightforward, they stick to their one personality trait without anything in 3D you know, it’s like everyone is revolving around the MC. But then again, if you take into consideration the fact that the whole story is based on misunderstandings and it’s much like a gag-Novel, it’s not that bad of a trait.

TLDR, people in the comment section are immensely underrating this Novel and it pretty much doesn’t deserve so much hate, it’s really decent with actual storyline. <<less

Exceptional.. It's simply the best kind of story if you are looking for misunderstandings. Even better than to be a power in the shadows where you get a psychotic MC. The only part that could've been better would be the introduction of the guide and the blind faith the MC has in him.

The author could've made it more believable by giving more reasons for this blind faith rather than making the MC look ret*rded. His misunderstandings in other situations are also getting a bit too ridiculous, he has been there... more>> in that world for decades and still hasn't grasped the basic common sense.

He still hasn't figured out that his master is a fraud and there is no real reason for that.

But the novel is very much enjoyable despite these shortcomings, the interactions are portrayed well and the world building itself isn't sloppy.

So I think it deserves the 5 star rating I give it, especially considering how s*upid the usual isekai novels are. <<less

One of the greatest novel i've ever read especially if you like ruthless MC character that doesn't act like a btch even tho they have the power, The story goes like this, A good man gets betrayed in his past life by his wife and coworkers and with the help of the "guide" (basically an evil god) he swear that he will do everything he can to be an evil lord, pretty generic right? But the main reason why this novel is great is because the mc's definition of evil... more>> lord is pretty shallow when compared to the other world ex: He think he spend "lavishly" while everyone around him thinks he's a frugal lord so they think of him as a great ruler instead, he also wants a harem cause thats what he think evil lord should have but he still hates his past life wife so he doesn't trust someone easily. Now for the other great part, The MC knows that power is needed in order to really become an evil lord and he isn't afraid to use it like other beta isekai MC, he killed anyone who disrespects him and his ally, he flaunts his power and don't feel the need to hide it (because thats what he think evil lord should be like). <<less

I gave it a shot and really tried to stick it out. The main character is just unlikeable in so many ways so I’m dropping.

The translation is decent and earned the stars I gave. I’d give more but it’s the story itself that is lacking. The other reviews are correct. One dimensional characters. No character build up, back story or anything other than random character worships MC. The description of the world is non existent. The plot armour is the thickest I’ve seen and I’ve read a lot. The events... more>> are brief and quickly resolved.

In short... don’t come thinking you’re going to find any character you’ll get attached to or a world you can immerse yourself in. This is brainless fodder you can read while waiting for an appointment. You won’t be so involved you’ll miss when you get called. <<less

I originally dropped this after volume 4 when it seemed like the author didn't know where to take the series, but decided to pick it up from the WN since the LN is only on v5. I liked v5, and kept reading until finishing v9. Overall it's sorta decent, but it feels messy and unplanned at times. When I started v10, that feeling only became worse.
Spoiler

Cleo, the guy Liam's been supporting this entire time, suddenly does a 180 and decides he can take on Liam with clones of him and knockoff Avids. Why would he throw away everything when he's not even on the throne yet? The author writes it like his shattered ego overcame him and made him do something s*upid, but this is INCREDIBLY s*upid. It feels like the author didn't know who to make the next villain and just decided to pull one out of his ass.

[collapse]

The Guide stops being a threat a couple volumes in and is basically a recurring joke, so you know that whatever plans he has isn't going to really affect Liam. Rosetta, Liam's wife (apparently) acts like a whipped dog even as Liam emotionally ab*ses her and never complains about it, so her character ends up being almost nonexistent.

Overall it has some funny moments, but I got tired of reading it.

    1. A lot of important details that skipped or just neglected in some place... No further explanation.
    2. you know... It's a galactic sht and some brainy capsule sht! And people still dare to bare it's fang or even rude to the one in power or far above the ranks blatantly insulting them like it was just another beggars or lowlife. Wth... Nonsense.
    3. Ifthe author put more effort in it... I dare to gave him 5star... So far, 3star is a charity for me bacause it was entertaining if I put aside the details and s*upid skipp.
    4. But for some people like me whom also put a reason, realistic (even if it's magic, there should be explanation how it's work even if it's just made up shit, or IRL call it Sci-Fi), and some details (character, town, system, misc)... This is total mess for me.
    5. New novel readers would understand what I mean by times... What is good novel and what is masterpiece.

This starts off as a fun series which doesn't take itself too seriously. It's a comedy based around insane luck. The first few volumes are worth a read.

The plot however gets repetitive with time, and I found myself getting bored after the 6th volume. The main plot slows down significantly after the 5th volume, and random stuff starts getting added in order to prolong the story.

The combat mirrors the quality of the plot, and becomes stale in the later volumes. The number of spaceships also starts to lose meaning,... more>> as the scenarios get more and more absurb. <<less

A 4.5/5 at most as of the first volume. positive; scifi world that is rarely done in Isekai. The world building is arguably the best part.

Negative; the timeline works against character development. Going into volume 7 the main character has not changed as a character in any meaningful way, not emotionally nor is he less naïve and ignorant about the world he's in.

Side note: The MC is an interesting combination of frustrating personality types.

Heading into Volume 8 I've decided the writer is purposely making the MC the most despicable character... more>> he can. He isn't evil or good he's naïve, ignorant and an idiot. The plot of the novel keeps me reading for what it is and a vague hope the author will allow the MC to actually grow up. But so far it's a perpetual hurt teenager to afraid of the world and lashing out in an emotional temper tantrum. I'd lower it down to three stars if I could. <<less

This is a misunderstanding trope comedy done well. While it does have it's flaws and some cringe tropes it's good enough to keep me entertained so I give it 2.4 stars.

The romance is horrendous though. Ok I get the lack of the MC's trust in women but still him running away is just...

I especially hate Christiana and Mary. Those two always follow their own agenda and in vol 7 made lots of problems for Liam. They may be strong but their brains are severely lacking. Out of all harem members (?) I only like Amagi and Rosetta

[collapse]

It seems the author really isn't good at writing romance as evident in his other works.

Out of the author's works I enjoyed this one the most. Especially after the disastrous collapse of Otome game is tough for Mobs and the boringness of Dragoon. <<less

This is a great misunderstanding comedy and written very well. It is not to be taken seriously and will bring smile and chuckle to the readers. Misunderstanding is on point. Plot point is unique. Characters are unique and well-written. Character developemnt is non-existent but it is comedy so that can be ignored.

I docked half point because the author tends to skip events and details that it sometimes feel like you missed a chapter in between. Not significant to plotpoint but definitely jarring. Another half point doe ked because the MC... more>> is a beta Japanese MC in term of his romantic relationship despite all his bragging of building harem. An isekai-ed working adult behaving like beta teenage is the one thing I can't stand reading in this novel. <<less

It's a great story as long as you're only reading it for the comedy and humor factor. It's one of the best "misunderstanding" story out there. The various interactions between the characters and the misunderstanding of the people around them is the central theme of the story.

My only gripe about this is the MC. Best advise while reading would be detach yourself from the MC, I personally find it more enjoyable that way.

Spoiler

The MC's 'character' starts to stagnate after Vol 6, I guess he just doesn't any compelling reason to? He gets no proper adversary, the Guide who is supposed the antagonist is just making it worse. At this point I can't pinpoint a 'goal' that the MC could work towards.

What makes me keep reading this even with the disappointing MC are the interesting interaction between the side characters. I don't know when my disappointment with the lack of character development would make me drop this. Hopefully, I wont have to...

The only complaint I have is understanding how large the Banfield territory is...

WARNING SPOILERS!

... more>>
Spoiler

I mean I know it is being translated as being a galaxy (銀河), but the way it is described I think it might be a galactic cluster (銀河団). Especially as it was described in Volume 4. The fact that the Banfield fleet (majority) seems to be around the Banfield capital, but not near any pioneer colonies. Pioneer colonies get defensive detachments separate from the main fleet. This makes me think 'multiple systems'. Contrary there are references to nearby neighbors, which makes me think not a galaxy. As the distance between galaxies is too grand to use the term nearby...

By the way to breakdown [銀河団]. [銀河団] can translate to 'Galactic Cluster' or 'Group of Galaxies'. I don't have the original source material, so I cannot check if this is how it was originally written. However, if you look at V1C1 it is translated into English as "dominates one galaxy" so it makes me wonder if it could have been translated as 'dominates one galactic cluster'; since 'dominates one group of galaxies' does not make much sense.

I noticed that some people thought Liam might have owned just a solar system (太陽系), but I think that the way some other noble house territories were described in Volume 3 (description of the Claudia Houses territory and Exner house territory) makes more sense, for being a singular solar system.

Its pretty good but the time skips are kind of all over the place and its kind of confusing. Most characters are not well defined except the Guide (Homie) and some of the main characters but most of the girls are kind of the same with a bit of a personality difference (you will know what I mean). Other than that its a somewhat funny and has good amount and entertaining action making it a good 4.5.

This simply is the best. the comedy and twists were perfect. well thought out and perfect series of events. it was amazing because it took an unusual concept and didn't have any regular chiche's in it either. It is to put it simply........ different and unique from the rest. Absolutely loved every part of the story.

Just finished reading and have to say its a very enjoyable non committal read.

Fun cast, fun coincidences and satisfying story/character/territory progression. It is certainly nothing life changing or something that keeps you up at night but sometimes that is exactly what you need after reading too much serious stuff.

The only part I didn't like too much especially in the beginning is the constant POV of the guide. It feels like the villain that is revealing his plan at the beginning of the movie, but for suspense reasons it would be... more>> better to reveal it later on, so that we can feel good about beating his evil plans against all "odds".

But to be fair a lot of the fun of the novel is based on the premise of the guide trying his best to f around with the MC so giving us a lot more information is kinda justified.

So many review missed the point of this series.

Plot armor? Nonsense coincidence? Half-assed world building? Yeah those exist but it doesn't matters BECAUSE THIS IS GAG SERIES.

It's LN equivalent to gag manga like Bobobo bobo bobo, Kinnikuman, or Sket Dance. Anyone who expect coherent plot, robust world building or inspiring character from those kind of series can leave now because you won't find those in gag series.

Gag series have free pass to explore the absurd and being half ass in everything as long as it conjure laugh out of you.... more>> Series like Konosuba or Kage no Jitsuryokusha kept pulling absurdities after absurdities and coincidences after coincidences and that is fine. You don't care that someone literally build a mobile fortress using dead spider print as a LITERAL blueprint because it's funny. <<less

Three stars. I came here for the anti-hero tag, but haven't seen anything remotely 'anti-heroy' so far from this story. Unless it changes later on, but currently the protagonist is doing pretend 'evil, ' and pretend 'evil, ' doesn't make someone an anti-hero.

Having thoughts of doing bad things doesn't make one either, nor does the actions of attempts that turn out to be good for everyone due to 'dense persona, ' of the protagonist fits this trope either.

Heavy vigilantism does, so does more free living that goes against the laws... more>> of a society or breaking laws do. Though the MC hasn't done either of those either to fit this trope. One may argue about certain fates of characters early on, but remember he is the ruler of that planet and also judge and jury of said fates. Nothing, and I repeat nothing so far in the last three volumes he has done goes against whatever Galactic or established laws of the universe to potentially make him a wanted person.

Just seems like a heavy plot armor story with MC being spoonfed everything, your typical genre Isekai. <<less
