So I created this advertisement banner to use on Royal Road, but I thought I might drop it here as well. It continues several pieces of art available at full scale on my Patreon page. Originally I wanted to keep the character art Patreon-only, but since I will be using this for advertising, I thought I might as well make it available to the public.
I wonder if anybody can recognize all of the characters.

Very impressive !
I don't write reviews but this time I had to, this story is simply amazing ! It deserves more visibility.
A hidden gem !
One of the common issues with light novels is the MC and his decision making, here we have a normal person but a very intelligent one, no plot armor or whatsoever, only a cunning MC who is aware of the situation he is in, and have a clear objective, nothing is done for the sake of it, everything is calculated and well thought.
The pacing is very consistent coupled with a good writing style, it keeps the story flowing smoothly.
In terms of world building we are discovering and understanding things at the same time as the MC which adds to the immersion
Side characters are not one dimensionnel or lack depth, they have their own motives and problems.
I recommend giving it a read you won't be disappointed.
I will keep updating my review as I read more.

this story is all over the place. The author tries to be cool by having multiple perspectives and multiple angles, but it just comes out weird and jumbled. The intro was a magical world with the MC being isekai'd into a different magical world to push the goddess of trade's religion. That never comes back. The MC is now born to a sailor family but its sh*tty. His mom dies, dad gets plastered to deal with it. MC is pretty much alone for most of his life. Then he suddenly gets super mind abilities and becomes alchemy prodigy. The story likes to jump around a lot, one chapter is MC, the next its a side character. Book 2 is worst, author added 2 NEW MC's to the story to confuse you even more. The NAMES just don't work for me. I understand different kingdoms, but just wow on the names. The story is just a lot of nothing story of a boy who struggles in life and using his mind to get out of things. The intrigue is fine but there is no real plot. A bunch of magical plot armor and because it had to moments.

The novel is good and promising. Half or the interesting tags don't apply yet and most oppressors of the MC starting with the Goddess themselves live a happy karma free life so until the MC gets some measure of agency this is more of a tragedy/drama than anything else. Still leagues better then other novels on SH and I still have hopes for it 4/5 stars from me.

Have to say, the beginning is not the best. Almost drop it immedietly, before confincing myself to read more first. Also, there are many parts where I found it boring and just skimming it.
But overall, the story, the characters, are good.

This story is the epitome of "because the plot calls for it" and nothing more. The story follows Bruno, a genius merchant who gets stabbed by someone he didn't expect, and his reincarnation to create an Empire, and first thing on his list? To sit around for 12 years doing literally nothing. Well, after 12 years what will this former genius MERCHANT do now? Well, become a genius
ALCHEMIST
This story is just simply stupid. The MC is capable of reading people absolutely perfectly, until he isn't. Side characters are incredibly competent, until they need to remove their brains, and doors and windows and so much more, temporarily because the MC needs a love interest. Character's personalities will 180 because their needs to conflict.
I'm just at a loss here. Usually I can bring up things the story does well, but really there isn't anything. I guess the author did a good job portraying a stupid-genius-sociopathic-beta male? Now that I think about it, this might be an excellent take on an egotistical sociopath that believes himself to be genius when he is and isn't, but it's missing the part where we're suppose to care.

This is literally my first ever review, and I'm only writing this because of the massive waste of potential this is.
The grammar and idea of the story is well done and pleasing to the eyes but that's it.
The viewpoints keep switching to side characters whose personality are never fixed, switching whenever the plot seems fit. The author is trying to world build, but you can barely follow along with how many viewpoints there are. I'm writing this just to vent a little on how much I was enjoying it, until it crashed and burned right in front of my eyes.
