The thousand-year-old Imperium is crumbling, and war looms on the horizon, bringing with it both brutalities and splendor. Caught in the midst of this chaos is Lansius, an office grunt and veteran MMO player who has been transformed into a medieval peasant. With no wealth, status, or magical abilities, and armed only with his basic knowledge of the art of war, can he endure and thrive in this realistic medieval fantasy realm? Follow Lansius as he moves from one occupation to another, striving to survive during these turbulent times.
What to expect:
- Introverted Male Lead; the world has magic, but the MC has No Magic or superpower
- 3rd POV
- Army building, kingdom building, slice of life
- Well researched medieval town & nobility class
It has promise if does continue on the realistic isekai of an person in medieval setting unlike most fanfics and novels of an op guy with extreme great knowledge about medieval weapons and gunpowder. But this one is realistic and showing a lot of promise so I recommend it
May also have romance and a tactician MC rather then a op militry one which does make sense.

I rarely review anything because quality of stories are usually too low for me to bother but this here is absolute gem. Especially if I did leave a review on two sites just to make sure it gets a fair review!
- Attention to details, realism and knowledge about how actual warfare works, how medeival society actually operated without self inserts and nonsense.
- Historically accurate despite minor splashes of reincarnation and potentially magic. Actually not potentially but actual magic (and MC is not obsessed with it), elves that live thousands of years and more. So much more!
Almost as if I am back to school or just reading r/AskHistorian. Feels amazing and refreshing without having to bother myself with another power trip of astronomical nonsense and don't get me wrong, it is fun to read about that if written in a good way but having magic in actually realistic setting is almost entirely non-existent in current popular novel/literature space.
So yeah, at least give it a try!

Okay I just finished chapter 1 but I am loving it so far! It seems like it will be a realistic progression in a medieval world. And it also seems like an accurate representation of how life was back then. Also, like the
memory loss part

Do you want to read about a portal fantasy that has a smart MC who doesn't have a cardboard personality but a normal one?
Do you like it when all the characters are well-developed and aren't 2D dumbasses to make MC look better?
Do you like it when information is cleverly and realistic given to you instead of boring info dumps and the world isn't in a box but a true world and things are happening?
Then this is the novel for you.

If you come from reading a Japanese Isekai light novel, at first you like the power and the change that generates that power in the world, but few Authors manage to give a purpose of such power, but when they try to give coherence, when you keep reading you realize that such power is an excuse to interact with ultra mythological beings, but you end up disappointed because they are mostly beings that are more generic than a Hollywood movie cliché, then you wonder what happens to people who do not have a gift power?
Well we have "Horizon of War" escaping and proving that you don't need a poor excuse of power fantasy from a novice Author, who never read or informed himself on how to structure a good fiction, Many forget that the greatest power an Isekai character has, is not the generic gifted power they are given, it is the human knowledge we have gathered, which many of the public despise for not being relevant in our days, but in a world where things are in diapers, no one is prepared the power of the modern Real world and all that it implies. Muajajajaja cof cof cof... well, if you are looking for something more credible, realistic, argued and prepared, this novel is for you, it is fascinating how the Author shows that the most feared weapon in the world is a well applied knowledge.
PS: The protagonist hasn't said it, nor thought it, but I suspect they were a fan of "Age of Empires II" haha.
