Synopsis

(The ratings just came out, so I don't know if they'll go up. That's what everyone says.) [Western fantasy lord + lighthearted + System + comedy + farming + multiple heroines + multiple races + wild imagination + magic and technology]

Lin En, once a conscientious entrepreneur in his previous life, is reborn in another world resembling the Middle Ages, just as witch-burning has become all the rage.

The good news: he's the grandson of one of the Empire's Electors.

The bad news: his grandfather dies halfway through a rebellion, and the whole family gets wiped out. Lin En himself is being exiled.

The good news: even in exile, he's still a minor lord.

The bad news: what's this about a cursed land where monsters keep respawning? And why does he owe so much in taxes?

Just as the dismayed Lin En thinks his life is over, a waft of... delicious meat? catches his attention.

When he sees a System info bar appear on the face of the girl tied to a pyre, he realizes what he has to do.

“Who says witches who can use magic have to be burned alive?”

“Stop! Witches still have plenty of value!”

Well, it turns out his mission in this new world is to bring blessings to these innocent girls!

Years later, when the bards ask Emperor Lin En, ruler of the great Holy Magic Empire and founder of the Witch Protection Association, what his greatest setback was on the road to supremacy, he replies:

“It was definitely when my slaves... I mean, employees protested their working hours, and I was forced to cut the workday from 24 hours to 20...”

Meanwhile, Alicia, the Great Witch of Destruction, gives this answer to the same question:

“I should've let the Church burn me alive back then! Boo-hoo!”

This is an exceptionally good novel. The main character is just a streetlight ornament, it's really amazing! So when will the main character cosplay as a teru teru bozu (a Japanese doll that resembles a sunny day)?

It's a very interesting book. The main character will not be controlled by a small head. He is a CS very similar to Mr. Krabs. He is cruel to others and even more cruel to himself. There is no objectionable thing like double standards. There are no obvious logical loopholes in the development of the story. I look forward to the follow-up development.

I forgot the beginning, I forgot the end, but anyway it's beautiful, meow! Someone's asking who the real female lead is. Here's a unified answer: it's gold coins, silver coins, bronze coins, and paper money, meow!

The protagonist's personality is so distinct it's almost unbelievable. He's completely unwavering in his chosen path; I've never seen anyone's will and desires so unified, making his actions seem so righteous and honorable. 😂

You know, I don't think capitalists are beings who can be considered human. They are slaves to capital, a projection of capital into the real world, the embodiment of capital's own insatiable desires. Yes, I think capital itself is more like a person than capitalists. 😏

It's really good! The plot and characters are very interesting. While watching, I even thought I was watching a web series.

The protagonist is a capitalist, but a rather purposeful one. He won't do anything for money; he treats people's hearts as part of his wealth. If you think he's a good person, then consider his actions: he makes the first female supporting character burn coal like a cabinet member, he adopts an underage girl as his mother, and he categorizes humans as animals in a census.

The plot, setting, and characters are all excellent. If it doesn't mess things up later, it's definitely going to be a hit. I initially thought it was just an interesting and eye-catching story that I'd only glance at and then stop reading, but as I read on, I realized it's genuinely well-conceived. I have high hopes for it.
