Summary

Imagine being forced to live, after death, as incorporeal bodies trapped in a vast space of nothingness for thousands of years, with nothing to do but exchanging past memories with other cohabitants (read: weirdos). Everybody wanted out, but there was no way to leave the Void…

Until one day, a young man was finally summoned, as a powerful but reluctant mentor, by a bubbly and motivated but completely naive young girl. Baiyi, finally out of the Void, was the only one who could save all of the other 32 souls from their prison and his summoner might just be The Key to their freedom.

However, Baiyi had to use the techniques and abilities the other souls had taught him throughout the years, and together with his own extensive knowledge of anime and game tropes from his shady and dangerous past as an otaku, to face the biggest challenge of them all: training the clumsy young girl he was forced to partner up with… into a competent sorcerer!

This is a story of heroic adventures, cunning strategies and romantic tales. How will our MC thrive in a world completely strange to him? Where will his ambitions and abilities take him in the palace?

    Im crying 😭 100 chapters in and there is no decent plot line. Its all slice of life stories between the Guy, his Summoner, and friends. I came in because of the Kingdom Building tag but so far its all School Arc type of plot. There isnt even a major anti-protaginist or some enemy. Most of the time its all cringe stories and some Otaku-related talks. It's like Im reading a Japanese Light Novel. Female MC doesnt even have a decent growth and still stays timid and shy girl. The MC even acts too conservative like a overprotective father to the female MC. Honestly, I was expecting something grand but probably this is the intent of the author. Its not that bad if your into comedy and slice of life stories. But if your into something like a grand plotline from zero to hero, then dont expect anything in this novel. I will still continue reading this in hopes that the plot would get interesting.

        Sure! Currently I am reading some good Kingdom Building Novel not found in LNW. Its called "I became the Legendary Emperor Throughout the Ages After I Started Giving Away My Territory". Its a good novel with tons of comedy and face slapping scenes. I do suggest you read it!

        Can you suggest some that is in this site? Even if it isn't kingdom building. I prefer this site as there's not a ton of ads and it has the best dark mode imo to the sites I experienced lol. Thanks for the recommendation highly appreciated 👍

        I suggest you read Black Tech Internet Cafe. Its my most favorite comedy parody along with Pet King.

        Unfortunately, there arent a lot of sites similar to LNW where dark mode is present. You either have to find it hard or deal with reading without dark mode. As for the novel I recommended, that site only has the best translation Ive read so far.

        Yeah, the dark mode here is really the best as I can choose different kind of dark colors other than black. This sites community is also very good as there's a ton of helpful users such as you who reccomends novels and give helpful reviews and entertaining comments that reading novels always make me look for the comments lol.

    I, personally, really enjoyed this book. It was really funny, and it was 100% worth the time spent reading it.

      If you read the story you will see near the end that he marries the assassin, the fairy, and the warrior walker and has kids with them. He also is in a relationship with Aya and had an affair with Undine.

    it was interesting at first but mc is too op and it makes the book get boring really fast. and mc is suppose to be like 40k year old or something but all his students and servant are little girls around 16, some would do lewd stuff unknowingly in front of mc,some would do them knowingly and mc and his void friends would comment on those little girls in creepy voice in private. after reading around 150 chapters, i just stop
