    hmm I'd say I like the first half of it but the laters parts were kinda bland. Haven't read in a while

    I liked the fact that Roland teaches his witches and slowly invent more things like guns and cannons after a lot of trial and error

    My fav in terms of "modern knowledge" and "nation building".
    Though I indeed skipped through some chapters too.

    You can also disregard "harem" in tags.

    You might want to just check manhwa(it has something like 60 chaps translated) to get the gist of it and whether you like it.

    It was slow and was too word-y. That, along with having a bad example of a harem. Anymore than 3-4 almost never works and even then, the members of the harem need to have significant character building and remain relevant until the end of the story.

    It's okay. Worth giving a shot, at least. If you don't like it, oh well.

    I got till 3xx something there are points that could get in the way,
    Like no romance, the characters are not taken care of to make it...
    Excessive use of “same” way of progress like author/MC think about something he needs and. Voilà there come a which that have right that ability to help with that problem...

    The "good" point is the idea which is that is already x times done that someone use our worlds know how to make a better life in the new one if you are looking for something in that direction I can suggest Tales of the reincarnated lord (was dropped by author but is still a good read) or Risou no Himo Seikatsu that bouth have more realistic way of how hard it could be ...

    As someone who has read 1300+ chaps; Roland and Nightingale do have some feelings for each other, but they haven't done a thing and Roland is 100% truthful to Anna.

    Though iirc some spoiler said that supposedly at some point they do become a "real" "harem". But honestly, even if that's true, how many chapters are even left before the novel ends at that point?

    You might as well just completely ignore the harem tag as far as I'm concerned.

    It's not good. The beginning screams deus ex machina. I picked it back up when the series finished, but the deus ex machina never improved. In fact, the opposite happened. The plot isn't particularly innovative either. The only good thing about the novel was the MC's enemies also had technological progress, but never as much as Mr. Know It All.

    Yo can try it, but I do not recommend it.

    I recommend it. It at least worth reading a few chapters to see if you like it. I recommend the novel over the manga. It just looses some of its character. If you like MC who use modern technology to save a medieval magic fantasy world. Than this is the book for you.
    Happy reading.

    It's a kingdom builder with a harem, but it's sorta mild harem , because mc is really after 1 girl.

    In essence transmigrator innovates new technologies, saves a witch , she becomes a strong independent woman

    It has ended. So if you were stacking on chapters, it's time to harvest.

    I enjoyed certain Arcs, its slow-paced, its a bit obvious with the 1300+ chapters.

    It's mainly a world-building type of story, with a protagonist that uses knowledge from his old world. It builds on the troupe of breaking the current world's common sense.
