      Synopsis
      Dias is a simple man who lived his life following his parent’s dying words to a T. He fought for his country for 20 years, and at 35 was suddenly called the Patriotic Hero.

      The king gave him land, but he was dumped in the middle of nowhere without a penny to his name as the pitiful lord of the grasslands.

      Luckily he was found by the mysterious Oni folk, who helped him in his first steps to live life as a Feudal Lord in these frontier lands.

      My Thoughts
      I really like this series. The manga was funny and sweet as it follows the daily life of Dias, his soon to be Oni wife and two adoptive daughters. I recommend it to those who are looking for something fluffy, comfy and looking for likeable characters. There's barely any drama which I view as a good thing as Dias just destroys any threat with the swing of his very large axe.

        Well, I'd be interested in at least reading a couple chapters in translation, I'm a sucker for "powerful person goes elsewhere to have a life where they don't have to fight" stories.

        My grasp on sanity remains absolute.

        Oh, right, the poison, the poison for Kuzco, the poison chosen especially to kill Kuzco, Kuzco's poison. ...That poison?

          Non-isekai, cute, and you say it has romance with an Oni? Heck yes. Just hope Earth Star isn't completely borked. Bookwalker says volume 5 is the latest issue but not the finale, so I hope it will continue.

          Also made a brand-new LNDB page for it. http://lndb.info/light_novel/Ryoumin_0-nin_Start_no_Henkyou_Ryoushusama

            Count me in, I love fluffy stories about powerful people just living their life. Bonus points for being non-isekai and having romance

              I looked at the manga scan and I have to say that I am whole heartedly interested in this series. Man do I want to read this series now 😆

                Given the way that you wrote this, plus the cover art in the post, I have concluded that his adopted daughters are the two sheep pictured. ;)

                It does sound potentially interesting.
