Kant Icurus Maybale is the only prince on the Aceaton Continent who does not possess magic, in a world ruled by mage kings and queens. However, what he does possess, that nobody else does, is his past memories of the time when he was a Mechanical Engineer on Earth. With nothing but knowledge, brains, and wisdom, he dares to bring this medieval-esque fantasy world into the industrial era, and gain unimaginable wealth and power. Along the way, powerful forces that feel threatened by his rise in dominance will do whatever it takes to bring him down! Will he be able to conquer the continent, and potentially the world, to usher in a new age, or will he get crushed by the existing world order?

The novel is going well so far. The main character is quite smart. The release schedule is very nice. There are only a few problems I have with this.

1. The author seems to sometimes skip words or mix up the tenses, so minor grammar mistakes are pretty common.

2. Despite the MC being caught up in some conspiracies (and being aware of some of them), he has made no effort to get some sort of advanced weaponry or armor. I mean (spoiler), he's already been caught off guard by a terrorist organization, why wouldn't he get something he can keep in his suit.

3. Perhaps this is just something I personally dislike, but I feel like our MC isn't on screen' enough of the time. It's very often some other pov.

Small note: the king was poisoned, I sort of expected that someone, whether it's the maid or chefs, would have been executed already.

I just finished my reading. This is a smart MC. No stupid 40y/o reincarnator behaving as a 15y/o joungling. He is the most stoic MC I've read in this kind of stories, however,

Spoiler

after his father is killed in battle by the Imperial Queen... mofo goes and gives her better guns than the one she used to kill his father...

[collapse]

in my book, that is not stoic but a flat out cold-hearted bastard. Unless there is some plot twist in the future, I see Kant as a logical cold-blooded bastard. I mean, I can get behind of such a character but the background given to Kant is weak as it was explained only once and then, that's it. Kant, as MC wanting to move forward tech, gives only two reasons as to why he wants to help:

Spoiler

The first one is because he was an ex-soldier turned to engineer in his former life and he has the knowledge, and the second reason is because it is for the greater good for mankind, he's such a 'good boy'... cough.. *gives-better-weapons-to-his-father's-muderder.. cough.. cough...

[collapse]

Well, there is a 3rd reason but that is subjective, he believes he has been cornered to do so but you can read and decide on what to believe. Anyway, there is but one thing that I don't like and that is the speed in the advance in tech. He is rushing industrialized factories as if playing Age of Empire.

Spoiler

In three months he already had a factory producing over 400 cubic tonnes of cement and was able to introduce steam engines and percussion guns... all of them streamlined produced. The same day he commands former knights to build a 1.2km tram line using reinforced concrete and steel rails (from which we don't know where they came since a month earlier, he was only providing the blueprints of a new blast furnace to produce steel and no factory build yet), they test the tram on top of uncured concrete.

[collapse]

I can cope with it and move on but the timing is just too unrealistic. Oh! And he forgot the existence of his personal servant who is more like her motherly figure, Cora... she just disappeared in the background with no apparent reason :v

Anywho... despite his flaws, this story is entertaining and worth the reading. However, this novel was moved to webnovel and stopped being updated in the HUB up until chapter 140, from there onwards, we will have to pay... which I will do.

Edit:
Well, sh*t. I guess I won't read it. Here, this wn is missing 9 chapters to complete Vol.5 while in webnovel it ends at the 1st chapter of Vol.8... over a year with no updates. Definetely a no go.
