I don't really know why this book isn't popular but from what i have read so far its a great book. Here's why:
It is a original premise(to me), I haven't read a book which is about a overarchingly morally good demonologist trying to change the society of a medieval world for the better. Its great! The characters are interesting with good backgrounds and a decent amount of POV chapters (not to many). Some of the characters are semi stereotypical but are written well and have depth so they are not just 1D and are still interesting to read about. The plot is good with time skips that aren't too jarring tho I would I have liked a 'One month later' but that's personal preference. It's pretty obvious in the chapter that a time skip has happened.
Overall its a interesting idea for a story written well with a interesting and thought out world being described. Its good. Try it.

Love this story on Reddit, glad the author is bringing it to RR.
The author puts a LOT of research and dedication into theorizing societal change when the limits of labour are nearly removed.
The characters are well thought out with realistic behaviors & motivations.
The predictable conflict with established powers (both nobility & established religion) is well done and fairly realistic.

It's a pretty good story, but I'll get the problems / annoying things out of the way first. It does the comically evil church thing and plays it straight by making the church characters caricatures of classism, sexism, racism, and seemingly random cruelty. This is true for basically everyone that believes the religion, and the author has a habit of making all antagonistic characters stupid and evil and it gets a little tiresome and predictable.
Thankfully, it doesn't really focus on that. Most of the story is functionally about crafting neat gadgets and figuring out how to optimize and innovate within the imp-driven constraints. There's a great deal of slow paced kingdom building starting from one person and basically working up from there in a semi-realistic way. I say semi-realistic because the enemies are often "I AM SILLY AND TOTALLY CHOLERIC" types. Nevertheless, those kinds of interactions can be fun, and there are always realistic setbacks and struggles in the real meat of the story, which is the scaling of a new industrial revolution.
The writer clearly does a lot of research on the inventions and their necessary components. He doesn't let the uplifter spawn muskets and win. There's a lot of spiky tech tree development and incremental advancement that is almost universally consumer-focused. The author does some really creative magitech on top of the imps and runs the numbers on his kingdom builder / uplift story. Most stories like this are innumerate or utterly uninterested in logistics, so it's nice to see a lot of focus given to the little people involved in making a company run. That's where the story shines, and it's also where the story spends most of its time, so that's good.
The famous ship captain's storyline is also pretty gripping. Actually all the characters are pretty easy to tell apart by their quirks except the antagonists. Really, the antagonists all having the same gimmick is sort of the biggest problem with the story. But since that's not wh

This story may actually my favourite story ever, let me explain. I'm reading this story at r/HFY (chpt 127) and I'm reading it here on Royal Road (chpt 73). Never before in my life have I enjoyed a story so much, that I have begun reading it from the beginning before I've even finished it.
I could waffle on about characters having depth and personality. Or I could praise the plot, and how little details casually mentioned become majorly entertaining 10 or 20 chapters later. I could even mention the logical consistency of magic replacing drudgery. But my words would pale in comparison to the author's superb story.
I wish I could award 6 stars because this story is better than all the other 5 star stories I've read in my humble opinion.
