While I ususally enjoy main characters to be morally grey, But sometimes it is refreshing to read a story about a good guy doing good guy stuff. I like the style with the many viewpoints, I like the main character despite him being OC. Just enjoyable to read, like a cookie with a glass of milk.

Fantastic. A bunch of novels here feel like the story is pieced together as we go, this is the feeling of a comprehensive and complete story from the beginning.
Power scaling is tidy, and the world hints at broad power held in different corners.
the characters all get lovely moments to shine, standing out in their own strengths.
Battles are brief, hard and meaningful on the singular scale. While lots of books here draw battles out for 5-10+ chapters with bringing out a new power, this demonstrates actual immediate consequence to power shifts. When the rhythm of the fight is broken and defences fall, there is an end.
Magic gets a good representation with diverse skillsets and teases some really unique Champions of some more background types.
The abilities of the average joe are capitalized on, and some of the average guys get some really good moments to shine! Truly was a fun read for even just them alone.
Leonard is absolutely cracked but its so much more of an actually thinking character, not lashing out recklessly but righteously, and is growing a root for which his vision can grow from.
I truly hope this gets the opportunity to be completed!

My favorite new read of the month! Hope it continues for many many chapters!!! Aaaand that’s all I got. But apparently I need to use more words. Uh, so uhm, it’s super duper? Not enough words. So this writing thing is hard. Makes this epic work even more impressive. Extra super impressive.

It's rare to see a story that captures the feeling of righteous victory over despicable evils so well, and it's hardly gotten started! The presentation also cleanly avoids being cliched or shallow or Mary-Sue-ish, like other people attempting this theme often fall into. The obstacles and character flaws are believable and important to making the story all the more real and impactful. Truly a breath of fresh air.

Excellent series. As author stated, cut it's length. I would urge the author to continue but consider reducing battles and doing more macro politics, as the author was on track for interesting world building as a move from micro governing to macro. Obviously as an OP main plot elements are by their nature predictable, but I did enjoy the full cast.

The good: The entire story is well executed, with fully developed world building and cast of characters that is more or less a standard Japanese-isekai-light-novel fantasy setting, nothing terribly original - orcs, elves, dwarves, dryads, magic and wizards, summoned Heroes to vanquish the eldritch threat from outside the universe etc.
The actual story is set after the standard isekai Hero and his party have defeated the eldritch evil invasion and begins when he sets about righting the wrongs and evils of the corrupt establishment of the world.
The Bad: There is no nuance here. The good characters (especially the Hero) are good and right and every decision they make is morally correct and right. Leonard never makes REAL MISTAKES! The bad characters are stupid, perverse, corrupt, arrogant, and have no redeeming traits whatsoever, almost universally so far. The king of one of the evil nations names is Skullsplatter or something. Why not name him Babyskinner?
Secondly, the Hero and his friends are ridiculously OP compared to their adversaries, the text has stated that even the displays of power that Leonard has demonstrated so far are a fraction of his true strength. This means that combined with his companion magicians, he is likely to completely steamroll over the bad guys in an effortless curbstomping.
I think there is a place for self-insert wish-fulfillment revenge fantasy fiction like this, and this one is well executed in the extreme. If you want 3-dimensional characters that have relatable (complex/flawed) emotions? Seek elsewhere

This story is well written, with a diverse cast of interesting characters. But it’s just not really engaging enough for my brain — just a tad too dry/distant. I should probably give it another 30 chapters to see if I enjoy it more once it’s done with all the exposition and character introductions, but just not interested enough in putting that work in right now.

The quality was high, the story well told. Then the author finished it with an ending against some characters that barely had any screentime or connection to the plot, while leaving the promise of vengeance untold. Quite unsatisfying, left a bad taste. I don't see a reason to read the author's other works if this is how he treats them.

I'll start with the pros - the writing itself/grammar is very good, and the story has a quite pleasant writing style. The author has an intricate and detailed world with numerous distinct and developed characters, and the pacing is slow enough that you can appreciate scenes and the details being given without being so slow that the plot doesn't meaningfully progress each chapter.
The cons of the story are that the main character is presented as a complete gary stu, moral paragon who can do no wrong, but this view is absurd since he makes objectively incorrect decisions within his own framework of good and makes Japanese protagonists look assertive. Imagine the kind of character who would find out the man in front of them is a serial killer and then do nothing about it because they're not actively killing anyone, and then a chapter later beheads a father of three being forced to fight in a war (that they themselves start) because "it's war, we were fighting" without a second thought, while still being presented as morally flawless. It would be one thing if this hypocritical insanity was intentional and presented as a flaw, but instead it's presented genuinely and uncritically by the author.
Additionally, the main character goes on several rants about modern morality that are frankly unhinged, and I believe just show a lack of understanding of the subjects at hand. So not only is there no educational content, but the utter lack of depth or nuance makes it insufferable to read.
As a last minor complaint, it seems like the story is setting up to have a major plot twist at the end, but this plot twist is almost insultingly easy to see coming. I think the story would be improved if the "twist" was just stated outright so that the story could go into more detail on certain characters' thought processes and motivations, instead of having so much writing devoted to vagueness and foreshadowing setting up the twist when it's obvious.
Overall not a bad story and far from the wo

There is an allergy being showcased in this novel. An aversion to showing. So much of what I've read so far is inner dialogue, talking about how powerful the main character is, how much he feels and cares, and how charismatic he is. Of 20 chapters, like 3 are in his perspective, and most of that was spent with him doing literally nothing while the plot happens to him, and then he does something when the pov shifts.
Events are happening quickly, but the pacing feels so bad. There's very little characterization, for all that a character tells us what we should think about them, and most of the story so far has been attempting that. Just different PoVs of characters hyping each other up in their minds while nothing actually happens.
