- kjas319Royal Road★★★★★ 5.0Honestly, I started the story out liking it, but not loving it. The first two arcs felt this way for me. However, one thing that those arcs did well is show character growth. But arcs 3,4, and 5 stepped it up. The story started to really come together and push character growth and satisfying litrpg goodness. Keeping it going author!
- RenlolRoyal Road★★★★★ 5.0This is a different series a isekai that has an actual point and goal. And unfortunately will end. The character is the ultimate antihero almost villain but not quite. Then it adds a love story and even character growth not only from the main character but from some of the side characters this book is just awesome and one of the best.
- TollertypieeRoyal Road★★★★★ 5.0I read quite a few stories but am normally too lazy to write a review. However, I read 64 chapters in 2 days and was sad not to be able to continue reading. The author came up with his own unique and interesting level system and I find everything very coherent. Unfortunately no blue boxes, but at least status and notifications are highlighted.
I like to read stories about villains from time to time, and the mc is indeed conscience-less at times and feared by the world. Still, his behavior is understandable in my opinion and he doesn't shy away from any opponent. Of course, he has some plot armor, but I don't think it detracts from the story.
Besides the mc, we get to know other protagonists, but the main focus is clearly on our warlord. Still, the other points of view are very refreshing. I find it particularly positive that there is no black and white thinking. Even though there are supposedly "good" and "evil" gods, it becomes clear to the reader that the world is more complex.
I can't say much about the grammar, since I'm not a native speaker, but even though I spotted errors from time to time, the reading flow wasn't disrupted.
I hope new chapters will continue to come regularly.
The story definitely has a lot of potential and I am very curious about the future character development. - Captain-FriendlyRoyal Road★★★★★ 5.0The Warlord is one of my favorite novels. It starts as a simple transmigration story, where our main character is filled with anger against the world. And while that was certainly very entertaining, it was his growth as a character that kept me coming back for so many chapters. For those who are scared of him becoming a pacifist, don’t be. This book does not fall into those trappings. No act feels misplaced, not a paragraph wasted. It is entertaining from beginning to end.
Read it,because the worse you can lose is time, and the best you can gain is a memory everlasting. - jhunter3467Royal Road★★★★★ 5.0The author writes a great litrpg story. Has great advancement with the character. The main character has great wit and I enjoy that he is trying to develop himself as a person. Does good in remembering items that were forgotten bring them back into the story. Like the crafting aspect of the story as it adds to it, without becoming major aspect of the story.
- CarnicRoyal Road★★★★★ 5.0great story with pretty in depth characters, a unique power scaling, and pretty god showing how while MC is pretty overwhelmingly strong for his level how he achieved it
overall this story has a lot of potential with it not being a typical litrpg

The mc is a mix between a Barbarian, Crafter, Enchanter, and a Hedge Mage (even if he hasn’t actually used real magic yet) so that’s something unique - Polvane the EraserRoyal Road★★★★★ 5.0A listless young man is hired to be the champion of War by a goddess who keeps losing her champions. She wants to try something new, so she picks Mark, who becomes Mordred.
Mordred picks powers I'm not sure I'd want - telekinesis, which I admit is cool, but also foresight and super speed. Personally I'd pick regeneration myself, especially after Mordred gets badly injured again and again and again.
The world he is transported to is rather reminiscent of Earth's myths, especially the names - Arthur, Merlin, Guinevere, Lancelot, Kay. It is known that people from Earth get isekai'd there. Mordred isn't even the only living Earthling in the story.
I love The Warlord's plot and worldbuilding but its characterization and dialogue are what I like the best. Characterization is absolutely awesome and very deep. Dialogue is hilarious at times. I really enjoy reading it.
Binged a few hundred chapters over just a few days. Highly recommended. - kyonioioioRoyal Road★★★★★ 4.5When I say I need more... THIS IS WHAT I'M TALKING ABOUT. First time doing a review and this work of art just does it for me. Don't get me wrong when I say that as there are still I few mistakes littered around but they are barely noticeable and doesn't detract anything from the captivating plot and characters. Speaking of Characters my obvious favs are Mordred and Guinevere. I won't say too much but this is just too good to pass up!
- HiramwilliamsRoyal Road★★★★★ 4.5Great story with tasteful violence. A friend recommended this to me and I've grown to love it. The story is pretty heavily influenced by Arthurian myth and pulls from an incredibly varied selection of other mythologies. The character is anti-hero with more personal values than conventional morals.
The power arc is pretty fast with the author nerfing him a little to slow down and keep the story from going off rail. The mc still needs to punch up to be challenged, but a few other characters seem strong enough to kill him. The power progression can get complicated with the sheer magnitude of abilities, but I expect the author to clean it up before it gets messy.
I really hate the antagonist, and the whole Alabama subplot to separate the love interest just threw me. But honestly, I feel like that was the authors intent, by putting those into the story it makes you root for Mordred. So instead of being put off by the romantic interest you really want them to hit it off. Even if you didn't like her, stopping the whole keep it in the family thing would be contingent on her getting with the mc.
Honestly if not for the grammar and spelling I would give this full stars.it is just such a good read. I literally stayed up for 2 days reading this, and would've done more if not for work. - Luther KrellicRoyal Road★★★★★ 4.5This is a fun story that is well thought out, and is more than surface deep. There are some big questions the characters grapple with, and it is done with skill on the author’s part. While not everything is perfect, this is a really fun story and I strongly recommend giving it a read.
Plus the chapters are long, so you get a lot of bang for your buck!
The only reason it is not 5 stars is because it needs a little grammatical review. It reads, on occasion, like it was dictated (words get used that sound alike but mean different things, such as thought and brought)
