Description

Archmund Granavale was nine years old when he remembered his first life as a (former) “gifted kid”.That world told him for years that he would grow up to do great things and change the world. Then he grew up, and he got stuck in a boring office job, and none of that happened.

In this new world, Omnio, he can't relive that. At first, he wants to use all of the useless knowledge and trivia — science fun facts, recipes, and self-help books — that a "gifted" kid absorbs to either revolutionize this pre-industrial fantasy world or achieve total freedom instead of being bound by the rules of the nobility.

But that all changes once a Dungeon Storm opens a passage to the underworld in his home county, sparking an empire-wide gold rush for its magical gems. If he wants either a quiet life or a career at the forefront of industrialization, he has no choice but to navigate the complex social landscape of the military, the nobility, and the masters of magic.

He'll take every advantage he can get — magic gems, independent wealth, connections and the status to make them — and the knowledge of a burned-out gifted kid.

This time, hewillchange the world — or at very least the path of his life.

Even if he ends up burned out again.

And using those goddamn spreadsheets.

I found this after being recommended it by a friend who was a fan of the author from his other webfiction stuff, it seems really good so far. The prose is engaging and it seems like it's setting up for a high quality narrative. I especially enjoyed the worldbuilding and elements of the leveling system shown so far. Awaiting the next chapter eagerly.

Fun story with a neat premise ! I enjoy the relationship developing between the main characters and the magic system! The magic system has plenty of room for the MC to expand on their powerset and how the dungeon is portrayed is not one I have seen done in this way before! Look forward to more as it devleops.

The magic system here is, although I'm unfamiliar with Bleach, quite interesting, with monsters dropping both Gems, which are shaped into various cuts of Gem with different enchantments, and Gemgear, which carries innate abilities based on the form it takes.
There is more intricacy to the system beneath that, but its impacts on the society and economy of the setting are handled fairly well, and I've enjoyed what I've read so far.

I read up to chapter 46. I like the novel a lot so far. Still in the beginning though so I can’t say if this level of quality will remain. I like the dialogue and interactions of the characters. I’m looking forward to the part where there is some city management. There isn’t any yet in the currently released chapters.

Very rare for a story on here to have many characters who have strong personalities, personal goals, and sensible flaws. There's a real sense of each character's own way of thinking and the blind spots and strengths they have because of it. While there is an emphasis on world building, it isn't heavy handed at all. I'm someone who usually skips long lore dumps. I haven't skipped anything here, because its all been interesting and relevant, provoking more thought instead of answering everything. The world is fantastic and the exploring of ethical dilemmas has been very interesting. Not to mention the unique magic system. Highly recommend for enjoyers of: Slow burn, world building, character driven

Slow-burn but good pacing, the story is engaging and the characters keep things interesting. It's an interesting take on an isekai-type story, and the story is pretty self-aware but not in-your-face about it. There's an internal logic to the world that stays consistent and little hints and teases of a meta plot that shows up occasionally. Give it a try, the quality is pretty consistently good throughout

Read the first arc and am enjoying it so far. Curious to see where it goes, so I'll keep this as a follow and keep reading it.
Ok, more words. There's some of the typical isekai knowledge from another world, but honestly the mayob thing is new to me. Ib don't think I'd ever read a story with that before. Different ag methods, industrialization, etc sure - but not mayo. Why import the epitome of evil into a poor innocent magic world?!?

The Author's description says "Slow-burn 10-year-old realpolitik" - I've seen similar descriptions on other stories but they've always seemed moderately paced. This really is a slow burn, and if you can get through that, and you enjoy more of the academic/thoughful side of worldbuilding, then it is really rather good.
Not everyone will like it, but some people will love it

It's a great story that has fantastic prose and dialogue. I can't believe how many qoutes I've saved from this. The side characters gets fleshed out. The plot is interesting. From the description, I thought this would be more of a tech uplift/Inventor MC type of story, but there's a lot of dungeon delving on this. Not a lot of politicking as advertised. The main con for me is how the latest arc is taking its long ass time resolving, but that just might be a me issue.

I like how real/grounded this main character is. He wants to uplift his people and make life better for them, which is nice, but it's because he wants to make plenty of money for himself to live luxuriously, which is even better. He's not some self-righteous hero-wannabe trying to proclaim his moral superiority; neither is he steeped in vengeance and wanting to kill, steal and destroy ad nauseum. He just wants to live a nice life.
I also appreciate the economics in the worldbuilding, clear but not too detailed,
Not to mention the pacing. Skipping the training montage to develop the supporting characters? Quite appreciated.
What I do find too detailed is the introspection. Too much thinking about himself, comparing worlds, worrying endlessly about this or that which may or may never actually happen... it kinda feels like a waste of my time after reading half a page of worrying and then later something happens and all that worrying is completely pointless. I'd understand if it was foreshadowing to future occurrences but if all it does it try to show how the MC overthinks or why he does something, well... I think it's a step or two overdone.
