- drake_azathothRoyal Road★★★★★ 5.0I'll admit, when I read the description for this I thought it might just be another wish-fulfillment Gamer story, albeit set in Youjo Senki one of my favorite settings. I was pretty much expecting to turn my brain off and enjoy whilst never thinking about the story outside of when I was basically eating literary popcorn..
The story is, however, surprisingly good. Thomas has never read or heard of Youjo Senki. The gamer system seems to mostly function to put him on roughly the same crazy level as Tanya and explore a few interesting sidelines. The actual main advantage that Thomas has is being born into a wealthy military family... With the corresponding expectation that he's going to enlist in the army.
The characterization is also surprisingly good. The Youjo Senki characters remain very much in character despite the changed circumstances, and Thomas and his family are entertaining characters with real personality. The best part is that despite keeping a sense of conflict, (and the war still definitely happening), the author isn't just rehashing the same story with an added character.
Overall, if you're a fan of Youjo Senki or Gamer stories I definitely suggest giving it a try. It's surprisingly good!
