Synopsis
After regaining consciousness, high schooler Asagaya Makato has become an AI for a space battleship. As if that wasn’t enough, the ship has been surrounded by enemies, and he himself has a damaged engine, putting him in a dire situation.

The warship commander had already died in combat, and taking the place of the temporary commander is a young girl of the imperial family, who had joined the ship out of courtesy. Makoto had tried convincing himself that this was a dream, but being persuaded by the girl, he stands as a battleship.

After somehow crushing the enemy at point-blank range, the fleet’s fight is over, and the battle for the fate of the empire has ended in a crushing defeat. Makato gathers up the survivors and plans to escape the battleground, but there’s a large enemy fleet on the route to the empire. He makes a jump deep into the enemy territory on a slim chance, but —

Set 10,000 years in the future, a young boy has been turned into an incredibly powerful cheat AI and leads a small fleet to become peerless. There’s romantic comedy, imperial intrigue, ancient weapons, philosophy, and more!

My Thoughts
A good bit of space isekai. This series is more focused on battles, diplomacy and hard sci-fi aspects than that of other space based isekai like the space mercenary series, which I think makes this series more enjoyable. Apparently it's similar to the lost fleet but I haven't read that so I wouldn't know for sure.

Being halfway through LotGH, it's gonna be really hard to top that. But I can always do with another space opera.

I checked out the manga and found it most interesting. Would love to read the light novel.

Yikes, a Legend Novels request? I wouldn't bet on it honestly. The entire label is pretty much dead now and it seems like they only published Her Majesty's Swarm volume 4 because of the English sales.

I remember them announcing the manga, which was great because the LN has no illustrations, and then promptly forgot about it before it actually started.

This is actually one of those series I'm oddly interested in.
