Gotta start binge-reading this one asap once it's out.

Ends in volume 6

I actually have some of this, despite not being a fan of historical fiction, because the first volume cover was pretty. Almost certain I’ve read some of the manga at one point, before forgetting all about it.

Update: Volume 4 was released, and the manga adaptation started serializing since May 2023.

I knew plenty of Rui Tsukiyo's works, but even I've not heard of this one before.

From an edgy revenge story, to an assassin story in another world, to funny hijinks with orcs and slimes, to dungeon building, to tales of veteran adventurers and mages, to a novel about becoming a pastry chef, among others. And now kingdom building, that's quite the repertoire...

Apparently this has been getting a re-release recently with updated content(?) illustrations and each volume released containing seemingly about 2 volumes of the original run. Would be nice to see this translated officially. It's a pretty refreshing story which is more war like than the adventure like feel of many series.

If this got license, the top 10 of 2010s are completed. Miracles.

Kinda feel bad this post (and most recent comment) was so long ago.
But upvote from me as well.

Bump because I found out this just existed when I saw a copy of the manga. If Ledoss War isn’t continuing past the volume 7S released, I’d like to see a new “Record of X War” series.
