A Chemist's Rise in Another World [Kingdom Building LitRPG]
Community Rating
Description
I was a quiet chemist who simply liked to be left alone. So when Truck-kun barreled down the road, I minded my own business—and still got hit somehow.
Before I knew what had happened, I was reincarnated into a prominent aristocratic family in a world of swords and magic. Forewarned that a war would destroy my new world, I set out to trigger an industrial revolution, modernizing agriculture, commerce, education, transportation, sanitation, and weapons manufacturing to prepare humanity for the impending war.

- UnOtakuMasRoyal Road★★★★★ 5.0Really great depiction of what modern technology and science would generate in a medieval world.
Great depiction of how and why economy is the most important thing in the world. Who needs nukes when you can just ban their kingdom from buying everything a modern society needs to survive?
Well written, fun and a learning experience for me since I didn't know about a lot of these things! - aborednerdRoyal Road★★★★★ 5.0This story is killer, featuring a kinda overpowered main character, but not blatantly so.
I read up to what is out for now and stayed up two hours past when I would normally go to sleep to do so lol.
Read this story, also curses for staying up late to end on the cliffiest of hangers! - BallisticTestRoyal Road★★★★★ 5.0I'm loving this story! the concepts are well thought out and the process of character progress is natural. It's refreshing to have a protagonist put in the work and move toward goals one step at a time., Instead of the *ding* you are now be the greatest thing since sliced bread and are the most powerful being in existence. The inner monologue is well done and conveys the thoughts behind actions really well. Also the sarcasm is top tier and I'm here for it. The fighting is written so I feel a movie playing in my mind and I forget that I'm actually reading. Well done.

The some characters could use a little more building, but it's too late now. Read every chapter just after it was released, the ending was got me on the edge of my seat.
- DragonHoardsCraftsRoyal Road★★★★★ 5.0I am enamored with well-crafted, meticulously planned narratives, and this particular story has the markings of one. The characters, with their complexities and unique attributes, have captivated my interest, offering a breath of fresh air amidst the vast array of fictional worlds that I often explore. Among the multitude of stories I have read, this one stands out like a glistening gem in the murky depths of the literary realm.
It is a difficult task to find a story free from clichéd harem tropes or underage perverse nonsense. However, this tale manages to deliver an engrossing plot without falling into these pitfalls. Although my knowledge of chemistry may be limited, the author's ability to make the subject interesting is commendable. Whether the author conducted extensive research or creatively improvised, the result is equally enjoyable. Ultimately, what truly matters is the engrossing atmosphere that the story evokes.
Personally, I am drawn to powerful characters in all their forms: personal strength, intellectual prowess, or even physical might. In this respect, the protagonist of this story encapsulates all three aspects with rare finesse. Their brilliance shines through in every page, portraying a captivating and multifaceted character that is truly a delight to behold.
In conclusion, this story has successfully captured my attention and admiration. Its characters, diverse world, and the absence of overused tropes have elevated it to a position of distinction among the stories I have encountered. Moreover, the author has managed to make a subject as complex as chemistry fascinating, and the portrayal of the main character as a force to be reckoned with is both refreshing and gratifying. I eagerly anticipate delving further into this mesmerizing tale, where the power and brilliance of the protagonist continue to unfold. - dakkonwastesRoyal Road★★★★★ 5.0Prepare for your highly improbable Isekai with this all in one how to guide! Want to be the genius that brings guns to a magical medieval wonderland, but know that you don't know basics like how to create gun powder? Nevermind all the supporting infrastructure that makes progress possible?
Yep it's basically impossible. Or at least it was!
Disclaimer: all you need is a memory enhancement that will give you crystal clear recall of this story instead of some one and done hero cheat code. That and the ability to break molecular bonds en masse with a thought. Easy peasy! - OrphicleRoyal Road★★★★★ 5.0What an amazing story. It's rare that education, strategy, and violence all flow together seamlessly into one plot. Depending on future releases, I can't see this book not becoming one of royal roads best creations. Sometimes I get tired of all the repetition rr seems to thrive on and then people like traxler come about and remind me why I'm addicted to reading.
Also chapters come out frequently and big ;) best not have any silly ideas or well need to have a right serious conversation you hear me Mr author? - ShirrRoyal Road★★★★★ 5.0Quite an interesting story...what I find unique is the way the story delves into technical details of what it takes to create an industrialization. It is very educative and makes me appreciate the dedication by the author. It also make me appreciate the far we have come as a civilisation.....will stick with the story ...hope it will get better and better
- cakespellRoyal Road★★★★★ 5.0Thanks for making something relaxing I can enjoy reading that doesn't try to be something it isn't. The story starts off well with a childhood phase and world as well as character building. Then the trouble and tribulations do not strike at every moment but when expected, the story doesn't make this feel rushed but something the MC has time to plan for and does.
I hope to continue reading this story in future. - T_the_ScepticRoyal Road★★★★★ 5.0Did you ever wonder "What if someone actually smart (like really smart) got transported into fantasy world and had the exact knowledge and tools to make the best of their knowledge"? Even if you didn't you should still read this story.
MC is a talented chemist with perfect memory and also seems like a psychopath but is actually a decent dude, just really doesn't feel emotion. The story is well written, character convincing (tho many children are extremely competent and mature, to an actually ridiculous level), world/magic elements are cool at the moment I am writing this, chapters are big and have big time jumps, but again it may change further down the road. Only thing that may be annoying to you is the necessity of making what I'd call logical jumps and interpolations based on past events/context to underestand what is going on properly at some moments. Overall a great story plus actual real world plants, latin sentences as spells and nice, bite sized chunks of multiple sciences or processes.
