Sir Slothy, pin this review prithee! ༼ つ ◕o◕ ༽つ Entire review below wast thrown in (a very inaccurate) Shakespearean converter to add some spice to it. (it seemeth appropriate considering the background of this story.) Below, one may findeth an honest review, as sugar coating is not mine own style. [Writing Quality : 3/5 stars) One may forsooth understandeth the language of Sir Sloth rather well. However, it shalt beest did note yond one may findeth occasional typos, spelling mistakes, and a few other issues, which cometh together to detract 2 stars. I rate things with 3 being average though, so I would sayeth yond the quality is just in the middle. The novel forsooth pondered valorous f'r wn standards. I would suggest haply writing on Google Docs if 't be true not already. Docs tenders a grammar checker which doest help catch some of the basic errors (and spell check too). I find myself as just a grammar nazi, but I personally bethink yond most people shall readeth it without any issues. I would like to note yond sloth writes in a very styliz'd manner. Especially with this novel in first person, thee heareth the voice of the protagonist, Mike of Tarnow, from the house of Terrna of the starry moon crest, landed of the city of Tarnow, lord of the province and the surrounding villages, very clearly, which is wonderful because it adds to his character! [Stability of Updates : 5/5 stars] At which hour the Sloth is did motivate, none may standeth in his way of updates. Thither hast nev'r been an auth'r with more stable updates than the renown'd Sloth who hast grac'd the ordinary with his stability. [Story Development: 3/5 stars] The story follows the perspective of Mike of Tarnow, who is't transmigrates into the gentle's corse after tripping in his past life. He decides to useth his modern knowledge and arts to improve his current situation. The beginning may cometh off to others as a dram dry, but t's quite informative. People who is't art interest'd in history and culture shall findeth it very engaging, and it is clear yond the auth'r is well-knowledg'd and didst plenty of research ov'r the background. Story picks up 'round chapter four, but the information did provide ere is important too. I bethink yond I tooketh off both stars because of the info-dump-esque style at the beginning, which isn't very much a valorous idea. (the first chapter wast intriguing, and then the following two chapters wast very information-packed). The pacing, in mine own opinion, couldst've been better flow'd. Once the information deliver'd is ov'r, though, the pacing doest becometh rather interesting. The story hast a clear direction and plot which is most wondrous. [Character Design: 3/5 stars] To beest honest, i feeleth like Mike of Tarnow's character adapt'd too apace to the situation of transmigration. He may beest well-educat'd in the topics of history and the events yond hath happened, and yond he considers everything a game, but the fact yond he adapt'd in a matter of seconds doest want a did bite of believability. F'r example (spoiler hither), at which hour killing a sir, he doesn't showeth much of a reaction after doing so. This is account'd to the fact yond he treats this like a game, but considering how realistic everything cometh across, i feeleth like how he reacts is a did bite unrealistic. I eke wouldn't believeth yond an individual knoweth yond much history if 't be true i hadst not known the kind of person yond the author, Sir Sloth, is. Argal, the knowledge aspect of Mike of Tarnow's character doest maketh logical sense I indeed like the character Elia, who is't seemeth to beest the romantic interest. The lady seemeth interesting and the lady appears quite early on as well. I am excit'd to see and receiveth to knoweth that lady character a did bite moo. [World Background: 5/5 stars] As mention'd ere, Sir Sloth hast extensive knowledge ov'r history and culture (after all, this is bas'd off of the state he knoweth most wondrous). A clear demonstration of this knowledge is did include in the story, and thus, the background may seemeth very vivid. The useth of authentic cultural conversions and terms eke adds to the realistic depth of the world. Certes, this deserves a full five stars. Overall, the total rating is [3. 8 out of 5 stars]. In other words, above average. 'Twill beest an enjoyable readeth f'r those who is't art interest'd in the history genre, and those who is't enjoy transmigration 'r modern protagonist mindset characters. Sticking through the beginning shall forsooth beest worth t. Sir Sloth hast once again deliver'd a magnificent story. However, i has't mine own doubts if 't be true this novel is truly worthy enow to compete with the glory yond "While Others Cultivate, I Use My Unique RPG Leveling System to Cultivate Smut Romance With Their Girlfriends!", another worketh of Sir Sloth, holds. Yond novel is a true worketh of art, while the true value of this worketh is not quite yet certain, as not enow chapters has't been putteth out to generate a complete review. Regardless, these art mine own first impressions, which shall hopefully beest able to guide others if 't be true they can make shift to readeth through this detail'd (and very inaccurate) language! 'Twill not beest a loss f'r thee to readeth through this novel if 't be true thou art intrigu'd.

An obligatory, shameless highfive from author to himself! Hello guys, here is some bits about the story in general: This novel treats about a guy from a modern times transported (not this time, truck-kun!) to the past times, only to learn that the game he wanted to play, turned kinda into reality! With system to his side to aid him on his adventures, he will aim - like the title says - for the crown, but not of the state that was bound to soon start falling apart, but a powerfull and modern country that he would create himself! As for more technical side of things, this story will get at least 2 daily chapters, unless something IRL happens. Additionally, I do acknowledge that I'm not fully content with the early chapters as they are too infu-dumpy without a real hook, so as soon as I will find some time to do so, you can expect me to rewrite and improve that part!

A really good original novel that you won’t regret giving a read. Writing Quality - Not much to say about this because there are rarely any obvious mistakes I can pickup on. Stability of Updates - There are regular updates (Though, there are never enough chapters when you really enjoy a story). Story Development - I like the current development of the story and you can tell the author is either well read or has done some research into the current specifics of the story. I would like to have a closer look at the actual system and the main uses of it for the MC, because at the moment the most important aspects I can think of are the map and crafting. It feels like he has been neglecting his responsibilities as a Lord in his own territories and I would like to see his making better use and giving a better look into the running of his current lands. With all the statistics available from the system I would think that he could create some medium long and easy to understand plans? Character Design - The character designs for the people that matter are well thought out. Even some side characters and the general attitudes of the nobles proves enlightening. The only thing that irritates me at times is the Main Character and his many tangents. Though, I suspect that is a design of the author on purpose. It just seems like the MC likes to jump from one thing to the next like an excited child and not being able to wait to show his efforts to all the people (Yet having nothing physical to show for that idea yet) World Background - The general lay of the world is proving to be well written. I’m not particularly well informed on polish geography and what has been established is well done, It would prove useful for the author to at some point once the MC has a stable land ownership to creat a map with the different colour coding to show who owns what (I find it helps with visualisation). Overal, a fantastic piece of work.

I'm disapointed with the plot. I came here looking for some medieval masterpiece after finishing "I will now take your throne, dear father." and had to drop it. Also, romance? WHERE

In my opinion you have a nice idea but poor world background building, no proper foundation was made and it seemed rushed. No detailed explanation on your country's history, not everyone is versed in your country's history😏

It is a really good book, but it is slow af. I understand that character development and world building is important, but man i read 60+ chapters and he didn't have anything. The most he did was produce beer and spice without the facilities to produce them might I add. The next thing is why is he running from 100 dudes, I get the plan and it would be more reasonable if he reincarnated as a total nobody not as a noble who he had two cities under control and enough time to ride to the governor and have a feast and tournament with. Yeah he only had 50 dudes, but in the city he was at, with full control over it, lived 2000+ people with a city guard. Even though I complained so much, I have huge respect for you and your works, development is just slow af in this one

Good side and supporting characters, MC is the only problem, he is like an excited child doing anything he wants, and have a weird character, even though I know some readers are okay with this character, I don't like it nor do I have interest in it. Everything else is good. I just hope that the MC will have a qualititive change in the future. This is my current rating for now...

Whilst i am certainly a bit late in commenting on this novel. I could fairly say this novel won't be everyone's cup of tea. The amount of detail in this book is impeccable, everything that make you confused you will know as they author puts detail into everything he writes about. The story development, the cultural aspects, even the characters gestures, emotions and thoughts are conveyed clearly. The only downfall I could think of is probably the pacing of the story. The novel is written in such a way that is incredibly dense and that won't be everyone's cup of tea. So give it a try, this is the type of book that you would either love it or hate it.

Pity it has been completed, as I believe that this work could have gone for far more chapters. With the story that the author provided this book got quite a big potential.

even after 10ch I was looking forward to reading the kingdom building nd wars. but I don't even get eased into our ml returning to his territory before a female shows up to insert herself into the novel. I'm turned of from the potential most likely partner😒😑 of our ml. like maybe if you have eased into potential candidates once I have built repoire with my ml I can be okay with it. but the mf starts out witha damsel in distress, that the ml saves, and his lust😑 and her throwing her body to him to save her issue irks me. I mean the ml tried to put his foot down and not go that route , but they end up doing it don't know each other she brings nothing to our ml but family issues , she's not even strong so what..... y do I have to read about their ship before he actually works on his territory or fights a war. uhhhhhh , it turned me off so bad so gotta rate 2/5. you may not like like my review, but thebwriting seems promising and if you can get past what i didn't like that the ml didn't even settle and he is thrown into a forced union then u can continue past. but author if you had let the readers build rejoice with the ml, see the personalities more of the potential love intrest I wouldn't have been so turned off. and she may be written as a supportive , good wife potential but the first encounter was bad.

This is it. This is the kingdom building isekai system novel you have been looking for. It's perfect. MC is fantastic story and world are fleshed. The story sucked me in from the first 3 chapters and has not let me go.

Gotta say not what I expected, I expected a kingdom building like RTW, but instead of trying to immerse the reader in this world, he keeps giving his opinion and history lessons, nearly 50% of it is this stuff, the actual story or plot is not immersive and author keeps monologuing and yet uses various rare units of measures to make it 'immersive'. Apparently mc has a system, but what it does, what it is, there is no explanation, mc just knows how to use the system(this part he doesn't monolog), I have not read a lot, so just a heads up.

It's a great read. the author did a lot of research on XVI/XVII century Polish-Lithuanian Commonwealth. The only problem I found with story is that it's too short. The cliffhanger ending was brilliant though!

was a good story untill it hit the smut scenes, if you like storys with smut i would 100% recomend reading this book. However i personally can't stand smut so i have dropped it there. but the story itself up to that point was looking really promising and as a bit of a history nut it made me look into the commonwealth as i haven't really looked into the polish history and it was very interesting so thanks for giving me something too look into author.

A fairly enjoyable romp of a story. A guy falls down and ends up on his families lands in Tarnow, Poland. From there he goes about trying to prevent the eventual collapse and fall of the Commonweath. Is it real somehow or all just a simulation that he isn't aware of he is involved in?

It starts off good, but as the story progresses it becomes a *** fantasy rather than kingdom building and politics it was supposed to be. Like there are more than 3 chaps in a row, dedicated entirely to ***, but having more than one chapter simply to give more description of the MC-s territory seems to be too much of a task. It gives that Japanese virgin eroge novel/manga vibes that I don't like at all.

this story is honestly weird... a dude gets a system that allows him to bring whatever technology he wants to the past in order to help his country, Commonwealth or Poland, to become a world power. The author is clearly patriotic towards his country, and keeps saying how living in modern times is worst than in the past. I honestly don't understand how he keeps this reasoning. He talks as if the world stole everything from Poland and that modern society is inferior or wathever he cooks up. He's even weirdly patriotic to a supposed country that collapsed about 200 centuries ago. He keeps saying that modern people have lost all morals and that people in the past were more honest.
