    MC just has it too tough! It's comparable to having to study for your entrance exam while being addicted to webnovels

    This is by far one of the better web novels I've read, especially of the isekai genre. The characters and world building are well made and the pacing is comfortable. I appreciate that decisions made by the mc and other characters seem realistic, and challenges outside the obvious for a soldier are addressed and a huge part of decision making. In most novels, a character riding a horse all day might not even seem like a big deal, but this one addresses the realistic problems that come from it. Even though the mc is made to be op, it isn't to a ridiculous degree, and he is also saddled with limitations so that he can't abuse his abilities and needs to actually be careful how he uses them. It's a great read, especially for D&D enjoyers.

      If I remember correctly, he will leave the empire at the end of book 4. And yes, he will be joining the hounds.

    Spoilers ahead. So some people might have already figured this out but after re reading I found out just how op eryk can become because of convergence. Convergence is stated to be th rarest of even rare affinities and considering how rare even common affinities above 10are this is really important. To everyone bar eryk, only apex Essences will Increase your potential and even the others you have to take multiple for it to go up. Eryk s convergent spell form allows him to maximise its benefits and although we don't know how high the spell form is. Given his affinity I can't expect it to be small. This means that along with the dungeon essence collector he go past the limits of all stats at an inexplicably faster rate than anyone else. The emperor is200 or something and is only the best void mage. He is not the strongest of the world despite otherwirlder monopoly. Previous emperor's have been assassinated. They are strong sure but not that strong. E can be the strongest within 2 or 300c

      Hey is there romance or long term sexual partners? S*x at all? MATURE usually means s*x but in this case im not sure.

        Yes there is s*x, but it is not explicit. Fade to black scenes.

        Yes. Deeper into the story Eryk will have a relationship with someone.

        I mean so far there has only been one instance which didn't last very long and wasn't that explicit. However they are only on the start of book 4 on this website and there should be 10 of soldiers life so there could be some more later
