Synopsis

Getting caught up in another world, especially the same kind as your favorite Novel, sounds all fun and sweet...

… Until it's not!

As an avid Weeb, this wasn't how Samuel expected his Transmigrated life to turn out.

Completely removed from the comfortable life he once knew, this ‘modern guy' finds himself in a fantasy world that is in polar contrast with what he had imagined.

His mission?
Kill the Demon God and bring the world to peace!

It sounds so easy, right?
Too bad his new life isn't as grand as he expected.

'Now that it has come to this, there's only one thing left to do...'
Gather as many allies as he can on his grand quest.

"I'm not Overpowered, but... no one has to know that, right?"

Watch as Samuel Peterson, a seemingly ordinary guy, overcomes his tribulation in a place where everyone relies on him and actually believes he is their only hope.

An epic Kingdombuilding Misunderstanding Story awaits you!

As the Theme dictates, this is a Kingdom Building Novel, and one that has character progression.


Even though the MC is as weak as possible (initially), it does not affect the story negatively. In fact, it's actually the opposite.

Just read a few chapters and you'll be convinced.

This is a fun book. I certainly hope you enjoy it and support the Novel.
Since I'm in a contest, please help me to win.
Thanks!

    Welcome, potential readers. I’m glad you picked up this novel to read. Before you delve into the story, allow me to simply explain a few things to you. Firstly, my five stars are justified. The story’s development, grammar, and central theme are on point. Secondly, it’s a KingdomBuilding and Transmigration Novel, so please expect to see a few things you might consider ’cliche’ Also, even though the setting seems quite commonplace, everything in this story is unique and intriguing. As for the character, he’s funny and very expressive (at least, internally) which adds spice to the story. He also goes through character development, so it’s all good As for those worrying if the MC will ever get strong or OP, read the book and find out. I will say this though… every character has the potential for growth. The MC is no exception.

    Honestly speaking, it's the best novel out here. How Samuel got summoned to the world he desires, but how things are varied made me laugh. Lol. Anyways, it's a great read. I love the concept, and the writing style is top-notch. The story flow is smooth, and luckily, it didn't break my immersion. The writing quality is amazing, neither too much detail, nor less. In the end, it's worth my time. Great work, Author! [img=recommend][img=recommend][img=recommend][img=recommend][img=recommend][img=recommend][img=recommend]

    Just like the author, this novel of his is also great! The characters so far are pretty fleshed put, you can feel that there was atleast some thought put into this, and the main character is also great! Now let's move to the system, which is pretty genius. The currency, which is just a renamed 'Shop Points/Coins', if pretty balanced. The shop doesn't seen OP yet, and the system also seems balanced. The quests are... "fair"... and there is no system loli/waifu, which I wouldn't mind since I know the author can pull it off, but many don't like intelligent/conscious system so oh-well. This is a story YOU KNOW if gonna be great, so why not be there before it passes 100 chaps, top 200, 50 golden tickets, huh? Well that's it for my review, and I don't think I usually write ones this long, 800 words long... Well this final part is also to say that I believe in the author, and just like his other works, he can pull this off!(The idea and concept is real good, and the exevution!) and if you can't tell, I have been dragging this on to pass the 1050 word count! haha. Oh, did I say 1050, I meant 1100! haha

    It got boring. The initially interesting premise of the MC going against all odds to triumph over what would normally have been an impossible situation quickly became tiresome when it happened on every encounter. The initially funny dynamic between the paranoid MC and his overzealous followers grew stale after its second appearance, yet it has become a running gag despite it not making much sense anymore. This novel doesn't even have a comedy tag, so I don't understand why this same joke appears again and again when all it does now is make the MC look stupid. The nail in the coffin was the MC's extremely disappointing character; every small win immediately makes him complacent, and he hardly ever learns from his mistakes. Worst of all, he has a hero complex and willingly loses all his levels to save some villagers, most of whom are just background fluff bar a few. I hate when the MC gets nerfed; all I can see coming from this are the same two aforementioned tropes being rinsed and repeated like a cultivation story with their young masters. I also find his decision to avoid Lilith after what they went through to be extremely cowardly; she was with him at his worst and accepted him for who he truly was, and he pays her back by avoiding her. All with the pathetic excuse of "I'm a hero and she's a demon," he plots against Gods and is ultimately going to go against the demon god himself, and yet he can't even face someone who dies after betraying her race for him all because he can't bear to risk his image, the same reason he won't answer to any of the other female leads who are infatuated with him. Something he is blissfully unaware of due to the "cautious" gag, all due to this gag the MC has become the dreaded dense Japanese protag who cannot read social ques or even has a modicum of common sense. I admit he has grown since the start of the novel and he might very well grow to an acceptable level but it is simply too slow and too late, my interest is low after his continuous disappointment. Overall, the novel had potential; I could ignore the forced zeal of every human character who would miraculously misunderstand his every action (another gag I'm assuming, would've been more bearable if it had some grounds for it's occurrence beside simply plot, maybe a title or a skill), but the MC is simply unbearably pathetic.

    Instant 5 stars from me as the one who loves misunderstanding novels. So if you like "I'm Really Not The Demon God's Lackey" or "I Really Am Not The Lord of Demon" type of books then this one is for you. The only difference is that Mc is aware of what he's doing and what other people think about him. The only complaint I can think of is the lack of chapters 🥲

    To be sincerely honest in my humble opinion without being sentimental of course without offending anyone who thinks differently from my point of view and without hiding any thoughts in my mind and without lies,to the actual truth with my clear open mind and clean heart,expressing what ever is embedded inside me for a long time which I didn't say just because I was nervous.But Today, by gathering all the courage and motivation, I just want to say that I actually feel and think that I have absolutely nothing to say🚶🏿🚶🏿🚶🏿

    I never post reviews but I’ve read so many novels that I hope u guys take my words to heart. This novel is essentially as close to perfect as it gets, amazing writing, story, world building and comedy. The only thing I could possibly criticise is that some side characters appear 2 dimensional or have like a few chapters focused on them just to be forgotten later on, however during the reading this isn’t evident at all as we see lots of character development for the MC as a result of not spending much time on the side characters! in this way, the detriment of not having perfectly fleshed out side characters is offset by a great portrayal of the MC! Read this novel for a fun and enjoyable time!

    No need to prove anything as it was a perfect 5! The grammar was better than mine so yep I am subpar compared to it. Also, the plot was in pace and slow-paced readers will like it. The emotions were expressed and I like the story so far. First-person narration was flowing like waters in the river. Splendid! 👍

    Awesome book, nice concept, no doubt. haven't read other books written by this author and so I thought to give this one a try and as expected, it didn't fail to intrigue me. Reading each chapter keeps me wanting to read more... Nice try, author!

    This is a pretty good novel, the starting was fantastic with him being weak and being misunderstood to be strong, slowly gaining strength etc The prospect at the starting was good (for me) but at the same time the choices of mc started to get annoying and will leave you frustrated for example 1. even though he had something genuine with lilith when he goes back in time he chooses to ignore those feelings saying its for the best...which was disappointing for me. 2. you will question his intelligence a lot like I get it that you are in a dangerous world but sometimes the paranoia is unneeded leading to him being assuming the worst from every situation and every person, which is solved a bit later but till then the reader(me) will be annoyed. 3. ok the title is telling you that he will never actually be strong, there are many times where he will level and genuinely become strong but in next few chapters he will lose all his levels and ne level 1 again...yes which is very annoying. 4. it's war man you are bound to lose some people and being the hero, I think it would have been OK if some random people lose their lives(it's a story) but no you are hung up on saving everyone and lose and many important thing like your growth and your development with people. Ok this review was till chapter 177, this is just my personal thoughts and opinions, it's not for me. I have dropped this you can give a try but then you will have to ignore all the above mentioned things.

    A fantasy novel worth reading. It was fun to read, fresh for my taste, and enjoyable. The Main Character is good. The World Building is a perfect fit for the story. The pacing is fine, neither rushed nor delayed, just smooth enough to make me read more chapters. I recommend this to all readers out there.

    I like the story quite a lot. I don't care if the MC is weak and not OP. I mostly focus on the characters and story development. I just hope Sam won't turn into Subaru(Re:Zero) with barely character development in 10 Volumes.
