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?

Im super irritated by Nias, MC does a favor for her buying her ships that look ugly and don't have much diff in specs compared to other better looking ships, yet she whines and complains to/about him?! So. f*cking. Irritating. And she refuses to pay more attention to fixing the defects of her ship models. And she keeps on parasitizing off of MC by having him solve all her mistakes and still refuses to feel grateful!!

this is why I usually hate harems for guys bc they tolerate all these really... more>> s*upid women.

that said, I like enough about this:

- MC isnt all gaga for the women, hes actually the opposite bc trauma

- although unrealistic, I really like the misunderstandings

-there are also other notable male ppl like Kurt (altho im starting to suspect she might be a she... I hope this doesnt happen bc there truly are no other notable male characters which is super common in jp harems plz no)

but I also dont like a lot of other things:

-why is the Guide so s*upid, and fixated on making MC miserable when hes essentially being tortured by MCs happiness. Why not find another person to temporarily get some misery and regain some power to then attack MC? The plot holes are everywhere.

ANYWAYS BOTTOM LINE TL;DR: I disliked the plotholes but you cant expect much frolm a comedy about misunderstandings in the forst place. I disliked common jp girl harem for guy tropes. But if you dont have problems with that then its actually a lot better than other jp harems since MC is at least not blushing pretending to not like b**bs (he blatantly squeezes his maid robot's b**bs, true to his new goal in life) and has a legitimate reason to shy away from them (the before mentioned trauma) <<less

This series has moments that made me laugh out loud with how absurd the misalignment of reality the protagonist has with the rest of the world and yet make sense in a weird way. Another point that made the plot of the story interesting is the unique dynamic and circumstance of the antagonist that I have never encountered before. The antagonists has some interesting parallels with the protagonist that play well into the comedy of the series.

The story can be really enjoyable at times, but there are many faults. My biggest issue is the shallowness of characters. Besides that, it also feels as if there is a lot of lost potential. It's as if the author uses a time-skip or a Deus-ex-Machina whenever facing difficulty in writing. If I were to sum up how the story feels, it's as if the author is skimming the could-have-been story in order to reach a non-existent plot.

- reincarnated into small noble family ruling a galactic system. Very similar to "tr*sh of the Count’s Family" but space-themed.

- MC levels up both himself and the kingdom, raises in society standing through power, plenty of kingdom building e.g. New planets, creating allies, building economy, recruiting knights etc

- oblivious & cuck MC despite harem (makes you eye roll when you read)

... more>> - comedy scenes are plentiful, funny antagonist and story developments

- however the trope of " doing smth as this is what a evil lord would do but end up turning him into a good nobleman" gets old after a while. Feels like this series should end soon instead of dragging it out so much. 6.5/10 <<less

This is an amusing story that you should read.

The problem with this series is there are too many different elements mixed inside it. You have sword, magic, robot maid, gundam, space travel, the devil, reincarnation, etc.

This is a fairly standard misunderstanding comedy, with a strong hook, a fairly lame payoff, and some pretty weak and inconsistent world-building.

Premise:

The MC dies after having a miserable life on earth, even though he tried to be an upstanding citizen. However, on his deathbeat, bootleg Nyarlathotep shows up to grant him a second chance in a science-fantasy universe. Unbeknownst to him, this seemingly almighty entity actually feeds on the negative emotions of select people, and he is only setting the MC up for a fall into despair, but due to... more>> a spanner in the works in the form of (what I presume to be a sort of) guardian spirit, the MC avoids all the misfortune sent his way, and instead sets out to become an evil overlord, only to fail at it so spectacularly he becomes a beloved nobleman instead.

Setting:

The story is set in a woefully underdeveloped and under-explained science-fantasy world, with an actual inter-galactic empire, and the MC's new family being counts who rule over an entire galaxy. Despite of this, the actual scale of the world is incredibly narrow, both in terms of time, numbers, and things like economics and warfare. One interesting, if equally mistreated setting element is the fact that humans in this universe age very slowly, and because of that, at age fifty the MC not only looks like a thirteen years old, but he is also treated as one by society, to the point they send him to elementary school after he had been ruling a whole galaxy for forty-five years and personally destroyed a notorious pirate fleet. In other words, the setting is undefined and often willfully incoherent, most likely on purpose so that the author can set up weird misunderstandings and contrived situations at their convenience.

Characters:

The MC, along with a few other characters, show some promise (especially early on), but at the end of the day, this is a typical misunderstanding comedy gag story, so all character-traits and motivations are subject to change on a dime; if the author wants to push through a misunderstanding or a gag, nothing is going to get in the way, established characterization be damned. Unfortunately this also means it's pretty hard to get invested in the characters, as all of them are prone to suddenly turn into idiots when the plot demands it.

Plot:

The overarching plot is about the MC trying to become a selfish, evil overlord in order to define himself as someone different than the man who died in the prologue, but because this is misunderstanding comedy (and bootleg Nyarlathotep's unwitting influence), he always ends up earning the admiration of everyone around him instead. Other than that, it follows a slice-of-life format with lots of decades long time-jumps where little if anything changes at all, and even that's mostly off-screen.

Final Verdict:

As far as misunderstanding comedies are concerned, you can do much worse than this. The writing and the prose is great on a technical level, and as far as comedy is concerned, the gags are not terribly illogical (a pitfall a lot of misunderstanding comedies fail to avoid and ending up as cringy, loliamsorandom borefests), but the haphazard world-building and the flashes of character depths that get buried under comedic convenience still drag it down quite a bit. Overall, if your suspension of disbelief can handle the scarcely defined yet still idiotic setting and the misunderstandings, then this is going to be an enjoyable read, and you can add another star to my rating. However, if you have little tolerance for such things, I simply cannot recommend this novel for you.

P.S.: I'm going to keep reading the series, so the score and final verdict is liable to change later.

[Edit:] After reading two more volumes, I would firmly place this into the "guilty pleasure" category. The MC becomes slightly less likeable over time, the humor gets a little repetitive at times, and the world building is haphazard and nonsensical as ever, but overall it's still an enjoyable read. Overall, I would say that this is an objectively flawed work that is a pretty fun read despite of that, and how much you will enjoy it is going to be entirely predicated on your suspension of disbelief and tolerance for predictable, slightly repetitive writing. <<less

This is a true comedy of errors--a romp through space with pirates, magic, androids, secret sword techniques, and mecha battles! Sure, deus ex machina abounds and this is the sort of novel to binge rather than savor, but if you're all right with that, it is absolutely delightful.

I hate characters who go "its bad to kill, Imma leave this bad buy alive"or "this guy needs help, Imma help him even if theres nothing for me". The MC here really only lives to satisy himself MOST OF THE TIME. For example he saved victims of pirates which is kinda charity work but at the same time if someone asks him for help he tells them to do it himself and it's in the latter's instances where Im satisfied with the MC and his workings.

Edit: 3/5 stars now.

This is a wish fulfillment-type isekai: the MC lives a horrible life, and after reincarnating, they experience a second life that is heaven in comparison. i can understand why people will dislike this novel, because it directly rips off of jobless isekai. Also, the MC in this novel is the opposite inverse to jobless isekai's MC. Finally, this author is better-known for their novel called Sevens, and while it has it's flaws, Sevens is worth more your time compared to this novel.

A great novel that I'm loving at the moment with the 'misunderstanding' to an extreme trope not overdone like other novels, the MC is however woefully optimistic and trusting and some parts of the story are just dismissed with the plot amour or that its just a misunderstanding aka coincidence. I like the novel regardless as it is sufficiently different enough from other novels to be refreshing with a unique setting. Worth a look at least.

The main character disappointingly continues to be r*tarded in his interactions to continue causing misunderstanding... more>> which does wear down the jokes severely and plain make it painful at times.

If you are going to treat this as an actual serious novel please skip it but if you want a light novel about crushing foes with plot devices/armour left and right and treat it as some fun this might be for you. <<less

I finished the three fully translated volumes.

It's a decent read and the fact that it's galactic empire setting gives story uniqueness, that makes it fresh even after reading multiple reincarnation stories. Overall though while it's enjoyable read, most of the story is rather forgettable. It's definitely not on the level of not knowing what to do when you run out of chapters.

I like the guide guy a lot and everything surrounding him is simply hilarious and that's what I enjoyed the most in the story.

What I didn't like however was... more>> that MC becomes really OP really quick and it's not only power-wise. At some point I realized that MC will face no troubles at all in this story and all challenge that are thrown at him are being solved with no much effort. Even MC is getting bored while fighting in the story, that's how little challenge there is.

All this despite the guide guy doing his best... aiii. <<less

Contrary to the title, the MC is not actually evil. He has a tragic backstory sure, and that might lead you to think that the story will play towards a ruthless MC route but no it's actually a lighthearted read.

At the beginning of the story, his parents pushed the responsibility of ruling over a galaxy to him (along with a massive debt) while he was just 5 y/o so they can live carefree and retire in the capital. But this tragic beginning is actually just a plot device for him... more>> to work diligently towards rebuilding his planet, although his tragic past made him detest being exploited by others and instead wanted to be the one doing the exploiting. His evil traits are diffused by poorly construed circumstances such as the people being too poor to exploit or that kidnapping girls is pointless because he already has maids who can play the role.

Later on in the story, he beats a space pirate with bounty on his head large enough to clear his debt. Afterwards he inspects the pirate dudes spaceship only to find a group of tortured and mutilated girls in his basement. Now he's presented with a choice.

1. Ignore them.

2. Kill them because the girls begged MC to end their suffering.

or

3. Decide that you're actually a good person and spare no expense in treating the poor girls ; (despite your best interest, despite their pleadings, despite halving no qualms towards the idea of raping a random girl and despite the trauma the MC recieved from having his wife betray him which led to him being afraid and distrustful of women.

It's a slice of life novel where dark themes are just minor plot devices and shouldn't be treated seriously.

Something bothered me about this novel from early on and it just hit me: The main character has to be literally ret*rded for him to continue making the misunderstandings he's making over and over again. And since that's the majority of the comedy right there, I can't find it in me to laugh at the jokes, and can't recommend it to anyone because comedy is the point of the series.

By the current point he's lived longer in the new world than his old world, so you'd think he'd be less... more>> affected by his past life, but nope. He still has exactly the same Japanese salaryman mentality he had in the past life. It would be nice if he had any character change at all, but he's still exactly the same as he was at the beginning, just telling himself (and others) that he's evil. Two volumes and 50+ years have passed, man. Grow up a little and notice what world you're living in.

The gold thing especially bugs me. It's not even the most valuable metal in modern day, so why wouldn't he believe people who tell him there are more valuable minerals out there in a sci-fi setting? It stopped being funny when you find out he was told explicitly that mithril is more valuable. It's not a misunderstanding anymore at that point. I don't know what to call it and I've already spent too many words on this.

You won't miss anything by giving this series a pass unless you absolutely love misunderstanding comedy, and even then this isn't the best example. <<less
