Isn't this normally chapter 0 zero? He's up to speed pretty quickly, glad to see he's not messing around.

3.Goes from 2. harem 1. to BL ... now

When I was young I'd thought it would be wonderful to grow up with dinosaurs around, not realizing that the whole reason I was able to grow up was the fact that there were no dinosaurs. I look on magic much the same way, what would life be like scurrying from one scarred hellscape to another just to get past the guy you accidently slighted in second grade who ended up having a ton of magic energy and is now looking to kill.

Look, if you had to sweep the dead leaves off the floors, chop the wood to keep the place warm, and render the tallow to make candles you'd try to be on top of that wasteful usage too.

We get to see here exactly why harems don't really work in the western world. Do they really want to share by choice? Maybe if all the available men have been killed off, sharing might seem necessary. A few more years of Putin and Russia will be full of harems.

Was Adele shilling for a dating website, don't just see white, see the colors of the world and feel the hugs of the difference.

Right, like usually a page of text equals several drawings and they help push things, but how did this move the story forward in any way?

Since he's reincarnated does that really make it his sister, he didn't grow up with her, other than genetics (I know, the most important part) will he have anything in common with her or will it be like those things where two orphans start dating only to find out that they're siblings, but they already know and just bang?

Because this is more like reality. In what world would modern women share a dude like that. Harems only worked when women had no agency, until very recently they had no rights as a citizen so it was easier to convince/force them to "share". In these worlds with magic I'm sure sexual dimorphism evolved differently, or was created differently by whatever gods created the worlds with magic, so the men being bigger and women being smaller didn't make as much difference in who was successful. A small guy or girl with powerful magic could easily overwhelm the strongest people.

The one from the poor family is right in there, plus if he's worried about the "story" her part has already passed. The only problem with getting involved with her is that he won't be able to manipulate the others as well.

I know its pedantic, but these manga/manhua/anime keep messing this up. If its the individual they are a Duke, but if it in relation to him like the Duchy (sounds like dutch ee) that he oversees or the Ducal family it has a C, not a K.

This is an actual game too, like a real life game where you can be Ed and live in a homemade hut hidden in the woods, just like my favorite book when I was 10, My Side of the Mountain.

That doesn't matter in real life, so I'd think it'd be similar here.

So if he built a dugout canoe by burning the center out of a log he might get a Shipbuilding 1/2 star, and then if he went on to build the USS Constitution casting his own iron cannons he'd get a Shipbuilding 5 star?

Weird that the king died in the timeline with the bracelet and without, we saw how powerful it was in battle, so was it poison that killed the king or just old age?

So dingus could get the sword, otherwise its just another piece of metal.

So in a world with beastmen and demi-humans is calling someone a monkey a completely racist thing or what? What about the dwarves, can you get away with calling them a little person, or is it just the adjectives you add to dwarf that would make it bad?

I'm not saying this as a critique of the work, I like the story and the art, but all of the beefy guys in this remind me of stylized images of Kim Jong Un, https://i.pinimg.com/736x/59/2f/6f/592f6f3283155455ac807bba5fb81d39.jpg

M'lady. please take your Bond villain cat and your face spider and leave.

Really, ok I'll lay out my perspective. Its both control and power, they might appear to be controlling you, but you have the power. In this situation an exposed foot is like the soft white underbelly, its not available to you unless you are in control.
