    I liked the novel so much I ended up paying for the extra chapters on his patreon. I'm a bit after chapter 200 and it's really good dude. there are a bunch of cool fights aheadand I don't want to spoil anything but there is about to be a really exciting arc starting at chapter 130ish where he will get a bunch of artifacts and essences. at chapter 200 he is close to starting as a mercenary.

      Nice! I was thinking he will remain in the army smh. I have enjoyed the novel so far. Also do you know if there's any official art or something of this? Or any infographics and bits that some authors make?

        well if you mean character art and stuff then no not really. there has just been a cover art for each of the 4 books, which are all AI generated it looks like. i think the novel has just recently started making money for him so he I don't think he was able to hire an artist before. but he has made two maps. he's close to putting book 2 on kindle so he posted a rough draft of the Kindle version, in it is 2 maps. the first is of the entire central continent, which shows 14 different "countries" (Kingdoms, empires, dutchy's, etc.) and the second is of the northern part of the Telhien empire.

    Tbh the book is ok but I just don’t like someone who works for someone else. And from what I can see like the title n how even his fellow soldiers told him the empire will try to keep him as a soldier for as long as they can. In my eyes that sucks it’s boring mission then mission all we see is him getting stronger with no goal but strength it’s nice but I kinda like to see what he builds for himself ya know. Like even him just having a guild that he runs how he wants he doesn’t have to be a king even having stores that gets him money that would be cool. But just being orders around kinda gets boring so if by any chance this man leaves the army or strata doing something for himself or his bloodline then someone tell me.

      He needs groundwork and I feel the unit he's apart of will be left to him in future. Others seem to be training him to survive, lead and care for his fellow soldiers as part of the world building. He's just not learned consequences yet from where I'm at which is 114

    Honest review World building sucks almost everything is just the mc inner dialogue each chapter and it doesn't get any better at the later chapters at all, the first life and death of mc was so short.. it only took like 3 sentences from the author... Mc is very average he's not special at all, I honestly don't know what I was expecting when I saw the title of the novel, atleast author was honest about it, anyway like I said he's not special at all just another guy he's abilities isn't even special, thousands of people also had it the same as him, his ultimate "ability" isn't even an ability at all.. second life and death of mc he killed a big *ss snake with a big *ss rock.. he dropped it from a high point and it just died like that.. okay... I don't get the good reviews about this, everything is average just like the author said, so don't expect much from this novel, sorry for the bad english smh 4/10 for me

      You have been used to OP MC's that catch jade beauties that are like Pokémon. Well sorry for you the story isn't some cheap Chinese LN which would kill your brain cells. This is an ordinary guy who is living his life then bam he is isekaied. I can bet if majority of us gets isekaied we would all mess up big time. This dude is lost, has nowhere to go, is in debt and has to serve some number of years and has to hide his abilities from an emperor that would force him to marry someone of higher social level since he is an otherworlder. Everyone possesses a system and he just joined the army. Everyone in his cohort are very skilled, this is from years of fighting so the guy is basically a new recruit and his boss is a mage with years of experience who thanks to God is okay. This is very realistic, this is not some Deus Ex Machina, misogynistic bird brained perverted MC. This is how isekai is like, the dude is a normal human being who would make mistakes. So I am sorry but read another one.

      It won't take me long to tell you that these stories are not for you, you want a cr*ppy generic isekai, here they give us a person with no particular talent (more than a little with spears) but who came into this world with a few small advantages, which little by little he takes advantage of and builds his strength, within hundreds of chapters we will have that very strong main character, and he will feel better even analyzing the background with which he has come since he started, and his strength will make sense.
