Volume 1: Our protagonist finds himself reincarnated as an imp in a world with magic! Armed with his wits and understanding of the modern world, but with no recollection of who he was or even the name of where he came from, he attempts to survive and understand just how this new world works.
Volume 2: After evolving into a lesser earth demon, our protagonist finds themselves with new allies and new challenges after leaving the safety of their cave (temporarily) for the greater world! With new things to explore and bigger projects to work on, the world doesn't seem quite as small as it used to.
Volume 3: Having been banished from the goblin village, Zack returns back to his cave home. This retreat can't last forever, and events quickly force a wider perspective of the world upon Zack. Just where are the Goblins and Zack located, what new challenges and enemies will Zack face, and most importantly, what new discoveries and creations will Zack make along the way to overcome these challenges?
Volume 4: As Zack and his compatriots begin developing their fledgling island nation, new challenges arise both domestic and foreign. As always, rapid change leads to cultural instability, and weakness is exploited by foreign powers. Can Zack successfully navigate these new political challenges to maintain relative independence, or will the new nation be forced to submit itself in order to survive?

This story is simply okay. There's nothing critically wrong with it, but there's nothing to really praise either.
The power and tech progression is very slow, there are consistent breadcrumb rewards to keep you reading, the side characters barely exist, the main character is believably stupid and oddly smart with a dull personality, and the world building happens at an even slower pace than the progression. The only thing the story had going for it, that being the power progression system; having the difficult choice between long term or short term strength gain, was obliterated later on in favor of a dull an uninspired system.
Quickly going to expand on the dull character: He has no goals, no excitement, or anything. He simply lives and, unlike many MC's, doesn't seem to have any real opinions of gaining strength to live. The one time he does come up with, what should be a serious long term goal, he completes it well enough in 2 chapters spanning a few months. When he discovers something he briefly wonders if it'll be convenient and that's it. Make a major breakthrough in something? Well isn't that convenient. Manage to secure a replenishable source of food? Convenient.
As said before, everything combines to simply be 'okay.' Neither bad enough to drop, nor good enough to actively look forward to continuing reading.

Basically the MC reincarnated as an imp who doesn't know who he is and what world is that but he retained previous world knowledge the story focuses on his survival the grammar is kinda like a narration of and not that intense kind of like slice of life-ish and that's all if you do not like grammars like these then don't read[spoiler]

First of all, for me personally it is a perfect 5 star story. But there are some things of why doesn't deserve a perfect 5.0 and likely isn't for everyone.
It is a well written magical crafting and technological progession story with an subtle litrpg system that isn't too central to things. It takes place in a world/place, that albeit clearly inspired by classic D&D also feels delightfully alien. The protagonist is pretty smart, but not omniscient and makes mistakes as well as sometimes misses things which I find to be a good balance. There is also some character progression as well as character driven story happening.
But here we come to why I will only rate it a 4 here. These latter points are not really the focus of the story as far as I can tell, or at least are not where it shines the most.
Going further the story is written in the manner of a diary and actual dialogue, while it DOES happen, is very rare. Action scenes are a thing and are at least imo pretty well written, they also aren't the focus of this novel. No, the crafting is, and that is handled well.
I like how it is written, but this isn't for everyone and even I sometimes would wish for some more dialoge and a spotlight being a bit more shone on other characters. But alas, as a diary from our MC it makes perfect sense why it is written like it is.

Very good system and character. In evolution stories, we often jump from one form to the next to get stronger faster. Here, however, we have an interesting risk/reward system going on. Reset your level with new abilities and keep X number of stats! MC also seems like a proper mix of cautious an bold based on known info.

Quite an interesting one compared to the rest. Very slow but that's part of the charm.
