Synopsis

[Maps, heroine portraits, and story illustrations at the end of every chapter] [Warhammer-inspired] [Western Fantasy Lordship] [Lighthearted Comedy] [Multiple Heroines] [Beast-Girl Companions]

On his third day after transmigrating to another world, Leon finally confirmed it: the slave collar around his neck really could explode.

The next morning, he was to be handed over as the personal plaything of the young lady of Wolverine Domain.

Leon had been ready to lie flat and accept his fate.

That is, until he heard the young lady weighed a full three hundred jin.

At that moment, his will to survive flared back to life.

The one piece of good news was that he had awakened the golden talent [Water Thesis].

The bad news was that he had to learn a spell before the talent could activate.

Just as Leon was preparing to accept his fate, a drunken old bard passed by the stable and “accidentally” dropped a page from a spellbook.

From then on, while others learned magic through meditation, Leon did it by writing research proposals. While others broke through with sudden enlightenment, he tweaked parameters, ran experiments, and watched the progress bar.

All he wanted was to remove his collar, earn a few gold coins, and give the beast-eared girls he rescued a bed, a salary, and a proper meal of meat.

But his companions kept piling up, and his house kept getting bigger.

From slave to adventurer, from wanderer to lord, he gradually discovered that nobles enslaved commoners with contracts, the Church dressed shackles up as holy, and the history the Empire had celebrated for centuries was also a lie.

That old bard, who mooched drinks every day and was always cracking dirty jokes, seemed to have another identity too.

“Don’t you really want to do something big?”

Leon glanced at the wolf girl, cat girl, and dragon girl behind him, and answered with righteous conviction:

“No.”

Please Recommend Engrossing Tomato Novels Without Stupid Plotting

Villain, urban, or fantasy novels are all fine 😊 I'm a seasoned reader of ten years, so please don't recommend beginner-level novels; I can't get into them. I'm older now and hope to read something with a well-reasoned, tightly plotted story. I don't mind power fantasies, but I don't want everyone else to act stupid just to make the protagonist look smart.

The author's writing style is solid, the writing is very immersive, and the data is rigorous. Each chapter has its own illustration. And the update speed is amazing. Moreover, the combination of meat and vegetables written by the author is very interesting. It is a masterpiece of Western fantasy that is rarely seen nowadays.

This Western fantasy lord novel combines writing papers, conducting experiments, and magical cultivation. The writing style is light and humorous, without any heavy or oppressive atmosphere. The animal-eared girl characters are vivid and adorable, including a blonde catgirl and a proud white-haired dragon girl—delicious! 😋 The plot moves at a brisk pace, advancing the story while you develop your territory. It's perfect for reading in your spare time.

A masterpiece of Western fantasy, the essay "Counter Attack and Become a Lord" is quite poetic, and the literary talent is great [laughter]

The Western fantasy genre has a rather novel setting. After the groundwork laid by the previous few books, this one has improved. Overall, it's a harem + fast-paced leveling-up story.

His literary talent is outstanding, his IQ is absolutely online, and he is not that clever. This lord is very cool. In addition, there are also highlights.

It's so good, I can't stop reading! I finished the latest chapter in two days. The male lead's values are great and meet my reading requirements. It's neither frustrating nor evil. I'm very satisfied.

Overall it's good; the author put a lot of effort into it. However, the protagonist's behavior is inconsistent, sometimes supernatural and sometimes supernatural, which is a bit confusing. 🤦🤦

I'll give it five stars first. This author is a true war chronicle, verifiable. Read it while you can and cherish it. 😏

Overall, I think it's pretty good. Except for the resonance contract, other people can only sign one at a time, but the protagonist is not affected and can sign one repeatedly. This is not a big deal. However, based on the first book, it is almost certain that the protagonist will use information gaps to trick others into signing contracts later.

The plot is tight and fast-paced, the rhythm is just right, it's really well written.
