I’m the Evil Lord of an Intergalactic Empire!

Description

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

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?

A review for those who want to know what it's about.

So it's a wishfulfilment misunderstanding novel. That's about all you need to know. Story isn't meant to be taken serious in any way... if you do try to take it serious then good luck in life. (Thick plot armour, luck, idiocy etc. It got it all and doesn't try to hide it. All written in a entertaining way for me) [Basicly if you like an OP and clueless and naive MC then read it.]

  1. Don't take the plot too seriously. Its ment to be a lighthearted comedy where the MC is misunderstood by everyone around him about every little thing he does.
  2. The translator is good, but very unreliable. So far its seems like he'll only translate a few chapters when someone else starts translating, then disappear for a few months once he gets them to stop.

This series is really fun. He wants to be an evil lord so bad but he just ends up doing the opposite without him knowing. It's kinda like watching invader Zim, he wants to be evil so bad but he's just too adorable.

If you're going into this serides expecting the usual protagonist, move away now. It's pretty much watching an MC fail at being a villain and it's really entertaining.

This novel is all about misunderstandings with the main character being the one who usually is the one misunderstanding things and being misunderstood and not actually having an idea of whats really going on but having a gaurdian angel making sure things go his way it gets pretty boring since it gets predictable about whata going to happen and knowing that hes going to get out of every situation pretty much unscathed in fact he always comes out ahead which gets old since nothing bad ever actually happens go the... more>> protagonist <<less

1. The translation is awesome. I wish every translator did same thing. So he deserves 4 star.

2. So the next point is story. The story is overall awesome. But it doesn't progress after some chapter. So I can give the story building 3 star.

Btw the prologue was awesome.

3. The MC was worst. He was almost tr*sh and s*upid. If you wanted to do villainous thing, then why are you help some random people. If he was villain!what was your point? He almost deserve 1 star but for his s*upid idea... more>> I gave him 2 star.

4. The side characters almost they have no use. 0 star

5. And there have some half assed comedy. But some time it was funny. Deserve 3.5 star

So overall if you don't find suitable novel for reading or you wanted to read some type of misunderstood MC then it is choice. But I dare to not say it is better. <<less

Mmmm, fun to read, doesn't strain your brain at all, made for laughs.

This is like a less complex version of Experimental Log of Crazy Lich

MC is a dumbass but it's not like he is completely oblivious about what's transpired behind. He still has some tact and most of his misunderstanding-based-choices were actually closer to being a logical choices, albeit the misunderstanding tropes were still overused here.

The novel was pretty straightforward, doesn't frustrate you, so it's refreshing if you just want some funny stuff to read in your free time,... more>> the only one who thinks that MC was evil was himself, but from the first chapter it was clear that this was a comedy novel, so people coming here, read the first chapter, and still has expectation that he'll be an absolute villain are actually the one who has some issue in their head. If you're reading too deeply on this novel, you're pretty much acting like those supporting characters that misunderstood MC's intentions every time.

TL;DR : If you have no time to get invested in something overly complex, read this, a mary sue that mows through the enemies. <<less

It's an entertaining story set in an interesting universe. Plot twists and excessive drama don't improve every novel, and some, like this one, are perfectly fine being straightforward and simple.

Warning!!.

This novel is comedy, therefore, it will not maintain any logic, it's also built on the basis of misunderstandings of multiple levels.

If the reader wants to read this novel because it's a "space opera", better to avoid this, since in scale, technology or variety, everything is at the level of a culture that is just exploring space and not an intergalactic empire.

Details to why it is a bad space novel

... more>>
Spoiler

The MC already has access to ships and products that only the nobles can acquire and that, therefore, are almost at the pinnacle of technology.

-Even so the military ships are around a few hundred meters to a couple of kilometers (being that of a couple of kilometers and a Capital ship that are supposed to be the "largest ships" of a fleet), in the field of space novels (intergalactic cultures) military "common ships" are already handled in kilometers and only light ships are several hundred meters.


-Time is used worse than in Chinese novels, for some reason all takes decades to be education or the development of planets (it's an intergalactic empire, right?). And the author only expanded "Human Growth" so that a person will go through all the common stages but multiplying the age in hundreds, this makes a child with the appearance of 10 years already has more than 100 but is still treated as a child, In the end what is the sense of driving so much time in each jump.

-Something like access to means of treatment of losses or deformities of the body is still something that even the nobles rarely see (in an intergalactic empire)

[collapse]

Details of why comedy ruins a novel even if it's a comedy novel.

Spoiler

-Jap comedy throws everything into the absurd and infringes the logic that the author himself exposes or the logic that he wants to show as the fact that it is an "interglactic empire" (but nothing shows this), even every detail is removed to give pass to the "Comical" events quickly.

-Variety and depth.

-There are "Learning Capsules", even so the MC that used it to learn how to manage its territory but for some reason does not learn that gold is something cheap and that magicals metalas are even more valuable. - Destruction of what has already been established by the author.

-The reason that the wife of the MC was unfaithful continuously is shown in all the chapters, the MC is ignorant of everything that happens around him, everything, also the MC creates his own "story" of what happens in front of him but for being comedy nothing bad will go through such a level of ignorance and his false perception of reality.

[collapse]

This is basically a new version of "Dragoon" (by the same author), I hope this does not go the same way and ends up the same. <<less

This is movel is so good at the start but as the time novel reach around v6 or 7 it's kinda bit annoying to read why because of the misunderstanding in which is annoy me as an reader such as why the one who reincarnated him always fail to make the MC life miserable because of some ghost dog who make him fail of it. Well I kinda get it at some point because he is main character but please stop it for atleast many volumes let the other guy... more>> to plan much more longer to make the main character feel the danger in his life that's all. <<less

There are actually many reasons why I don't like this novel, which is quite funny when you think about it, because I'm giving it a 4 star. I don't even know why I started reading the novel, but I'm sure the mange had some kind of impact when it came to it.

There are other novels that have misunderstandings in them, but most of the times the author makes sure that they don't annoy their readers too much, yet this novel achieved to annoy me a lot of times.

The thing about... more>> writing a novel filled with misunderstandings is that they will eventually frustrate the audience. In this novel, there are a few characters that somehow benefit our MC through misunderstandings. Unfortunately these characters are villains who want to f*ck with his life and/or kill him somehow. And they live for such a long time while doing so, that it becomes really annoying listening to their monologues each time they fail or decide to mess around with the MCs life. I don't understand why the author decides to not kill them, but it really makes you mad after some time.

It feels like we are getting baited as an audience each time and the main characters is just a clueless idiot. People might say that this makes it comparable to One Punch Man, but I wouldn't say that. I mean the misunderstandings in One Punch Man get resolved in some kind of way after some time. They might take Saitamas side, get killed or learn of his power and be vigilant. Here it is more like the characters already know of the MCs power, but they get more c*cky trying to bring him down and it is becoming annoying.

Honestly, it kind of feels like the author is trying to drag out the novel in some kind of way and I'm not saying this is a bad thing, since I kind of enjoy reading most of it, but I'm afraid that the ending will be bad. Although there is a chance that the author will find a suitable way to end things for some of the 'antagonists', I believe that there will be a lot of annoyingly 'good' endings for other antagonists. <<less

To be honest... I only learned of this through a manga and you know what? It's shit😂.

Spoiler

I mean come on... MC trained with the sword for 20 years yet suddenly, the conman instructor says "he surpassed me after 10 uears" like what the f*ck is this inconsistency.

[collapse]

I don't know if something like that will keep on showing up but... I really hate it when something like that happens cause it'll mess with your understanding of the flow. And you know, like they said... "Small things will keep filling up until it'll become a big issue" and that is why I hope that the author of this Manga/Novel will pay attention to such details.

The MC's interesting... That's all I can say really😂.

As for the villian... I don't know, they're what? A transcendental being? The only one in the whole multiverse or something? So is that the reason they can fiddle with things as much as they want? The level ain't even up to an evil god or some evil incarnate, it's more like a kid's frank to be honest. <<less

Okay to read if you want some filler action sci Fi, but the characters are all a little too flat to really care about

Funny but a little too mysogenistic for my taste, story premise interesting but overall falls little flat, I like having an OP protagonist but everything literally just falls into his lap, after a while it gets a little boring

It's quite fun although I do agree with some people that not a lot was explained and that the MC was just too lucky or unlucky but none of them seems to know about the doggo which is akin to the MC's guardian angel influencing these events in favor of the MC...

It's interesting to see an MC act more with his impulses rather than logic which is why the existence of the android is acceptable although the other girls were indeed strange additions as the MC doesn't want to have... more>> a kid anyway and even to the extent that girls themselves even stole his s*erm while he was teleported into a faraway native planet...

The entire fief revolves around the MC as it would seriously crumble to ashes without his domineering presence keeping all the crazies in tow which makes this somewhat fun.

all I can say is that there are a lot of interesting things here which add to the novelty of it all. <<less

A comedy of errors. Fun to read if you don't take it too seriously.

Couple of things I dislike are

  1. Release schedule ~1 per week
  2. Weak supporting cast. Often times have to recall who they are and/or where they came from/what did they do. Can't really differentiate the girls in the "harem". The release schedule is not helping this as well

This novel does not present any attempt at deep worldbuilding and character development. It's a good misunderstanding comedy that doesn't overstep its bounds by shoving in things that don't belong, though if you prefer a well crafted masterpiece that engages your mind then you should probably turn away.

It's a very nice novel I enjoy the world building and the misunderstanding part.

Spoiler

I would really wish the MC is not too p**sy, he's literally already engaged for almost 50 years but he hasn't touched her, he's also avoiding the girl and giving all excuses just to avoid getting laid.

the house banfield need a heir but his testosterone levels are very low so it's almost impossible for him to have a son/daughter.

Passible writing without a clear flaw but very rarely has a stand out moment; translation feels a bit awkward at times but is perfectly understandable. Despite being entirely rooted in comedy it like to pretended its in other genres: politics, action, romance, harem and will greatly disappoint if your looking for any development in these areas.

from the hero to the plot a lighthearted comedy pretending to be dark but not much else

Fortunately this novel is a comedic relief only and it doesn't force you to use your brain while reading it or else I would have rate it lower.

So, if you don't like a simple novel with simple one dimensional MC as of the moment who has high luck. Then you might not like this novel. Also, it has most common JP novels that has 3 stars vibe actually.

Anyway,

The MC is a huge disappoinment for me aside for comedic relief. And so does the Guide. Heck, I wish the MC... more>> is truly suffers to make him realize or have development.

Spoiler

The MC is a lucky son of a b*tch. Sure he has talent but most of all, he is s*upid one. No wonder he got NTRed by his ex-wife before reincarnated and suffered. He is incredibly naive and s*upid. Also he is delusional to think about evil lord a lot but in fact a good lord. Fortunately it is a comedy lol

[collapse]

All of the characters feels like one dimensional.

Spoiler

there was no improvement that much, most of the characters come either as punching bag for MC or being fanatics to MC. I am disappointed that the MC doesn't get over his trauma and treat people close to him better. He has no self-development at all.

So my issue with it is that whole thing feels fake altogether, like no realistic developments or depictions of decision making, ruling this "empire". It feels like a child imagines running a country - throwing big numbers around. Buy n-thousands ships, spend n-millions of money on that and this... Invest into domain "development", get fast return. It wouldnt be bad if there was something else but... apart from that there is ongoing misunderstanding gimmick where MC thinks he evil and everyone else thinks he is good, personally I find opposite... more>> much more fun. <<less

First of all I would like to thank the translators, all of them! They all have done a splendid job. The story is not lost in traslations like some other good novels out there.

Its an amzing story. Period. The author has put in a lot of hard work and it shows. Characters develop as the story progresses. The titles never convey the story within and there are indeed twist and turns. I will quote the MC here " This is not for serious people". This story will stoke the evil... more>> lord in you for sure.

Ppl complaining of plot armour can sit and watch Game of Thrones where Aria kills a white walker, Dragons couldn't and say "oh this is legit".

I will not tell you anything about the story and spoil it but if misunderstanding in plot is not a turn off go ahead and read this story. It will take you on a ride with the MC. You can get a glimse of this world through his eyes while the others PoV will keep you in touch with realities of the situation.

This is coming from someone who has read my share of crapy stories to the real gems hidden within. This is a novel worth reading and supporting! <<less
