The manga isn't bad, but from what I've seen so far I would probably pass this one up and reading something else instead. Reason for that is because the story in manga been more on generic and "safe" side, nothing I haven't seen before.

From reading some of the manga and the web novel i can second that this series really does have a great story, good character development and great world/ lore building. All of which are backed up by great writing, Here's hoping the series LN's get licensed and translated ; )

cover fo 12th volume

had started reading the fan translation, started edgy but soon changes like many others into a harem collecting slave girls.
I liked the intro, liked the political intrigue but would have preferred if had formed a party made of both men and women, and of different ages rather than just cute girls. The more I read LN the less I am finding harems to be satisfactory

@renofury Not sure what you are talking about him only having female companions. The only slaves he ever has are Sara and Rora that he meets early on. The rest are all simple underlings/business partners,etc that work for him.Plus, he has several male companions as well that council him throughout the story. The only characters in the story that are pushed as potential romantic interests of his harem are Sara and Rora.
Either way I would very much like this series to be licensed.

I did stop reading after vol1, so from my point of view the companions were slaves. More preciselyI had read till when he was given a piece of land.
I generally dislike novels were the MC is an insert op character and have an harem of devoted teenage girls (and very often younger) for the gratification of the reader. Thou this is a common theme, there are still quite a number of ln's that feature more believable mc like grimgar, aooni or werewolf.
As mentioned I liked the edgy start but it wasn't for me.

I have never managed to find the light novel version, however the web novel could only be described as wasteful and frustrating as the volumes continued due to wasted word count and effective padding. However, light novels, due to being edited are usually better, with editors removing such extras.
I would not really describe it as harem, as though not an ignorant MC, does not actually seem to progress (unless the LN is different, the manga has not progressed enough).
It is an Isekai and I would probably read it, however the art style is not something I enjoy, rather abstract. I guess I am a big fan of "moe" -
I always find it amusing how MC can be surrounded by drop dead gorgeous woman, that obviously want a piece of him, and never pursue any romantic relationship with either of the females.

I always thought of it as a commentary on the population and birth rate problem in Japan...
That said, the last three (or five?)chapters I’ve read (fan translated) are filled with diatribe intended to just fill space, or so it seemed. The three chapters could fill our about half a chapter... maybe more...
