Having someone like Reina as an ally is definitely going to be helpful. Plus, this episode introduced her fairy friends.

Given Liam's friendly nature, it doesn't surprise me that Reina trusts him. Scarlet also continues to be by his side like a mentor.

reina with those fairy friends is quite the combo really adds a new dynamic to the team liam sure seems to know how to win people over it's no wonder reina trusts him wonder if scarlet will share some more of her wisdom with liam i mean she's been a solid mentor so far

the outfit and colors are on point props to the design team for that one

hearing about liam and his adventures with different creatures like elves and dragons makes me curious makes his journey sound like a huge fantasy checklist i mean who wouldn't want that kind of adventure

Watching this is like watching The Wizard of Oz on easy mode. You know, no Wicked Witch of the West or Flying Monkeys, just... Follow the Yellow Brick Road.

Each episode has less logic and more of the universe just handing the MC power for no reason and with no effort or challenge overcome and increasing numbers of girls begging him to be his slaves. There appears to be little/no conflict for the MC to resolve or danger/challenge for his power to be used on. It's pure power accumulation with no use, which is...is that even technically a power fantasy if you don't do anything with it? Any hint of an actual plot seems to have completely disappeared. Even generic trash shows usually have a tropey evil group to fight against.

This author was just all over the place when writing this lol. We went over so much stuff today and the pacing just feels so breakneck like bro is already about to build his own country? And his family were actually frauds? Naming monsters, having a monster inside of him giving him advice, nation building… Tensura from temu without any of the solid worldbuilding.

At least Reina is cute!

It is what it is. I guess I'll keep watching, but nothing revolutionary here. Not that I was expecting it, of course. This episode had very little suspense either.

That was a whole lot of brain rot dialogue. Everyone is so soulless.

“Wow thanks. What should we do?”
“Establish a village.”
“Okay. Hey everyone, build houses!”
“Okay!”


The dialogue reads like the short story I wrote in the 3rd grade.

The Author must’ve been an huge isekai fan, and decided to make the most cliche one possible. I’ve never seen a series with such quick and big world building with absolutely no real story behind it. This has all the ugly from other isekai series and mashed it into this. They can’t even create any decent conflict or antagonists. I’m so lost by every episode I watch. Might as well just watch 7th prince, 8th son, or slime instead lol 😂 This anime season is kinda weak overall, and that’s the only reason I gave this a chance.

😂 When he evolved the pixies i’da died if they were like “WTF MAN I LIKED BEING TINY AND ABLE TO FLY! NOW I GOTTA FU*KIN WALK EVERYWHERE?!?! SH*T!!” 🤬

It’s like “Uber-Chad Gary-Stu TAS Run: The Anime” 🙄 It almost literally has the pacing of a recap episode, like they’re trying to cram half a season’s worth of content into 24 minutes, and it makes it absolutely no fun to watch, except maybe for riffing on 😆

God forbid there be any conflict and Liam 's ignorant actions of nation building put him at odds with the Royal family. Would even further build on the concept that he inadvertently threatened his older brother's position as heir. At least have something.

I really am enjoying this anime, it is fun.

Only thing, it is moving very fast, and that might bother people, who prefer more details to the story.
Note: I don’t lazily watch 3-5 episodes, biasedly compare to other anime, or unfairly judge by surface level similarities. With every anime I start, I watch the entire series, both Japanese Sub & English Dub, then judge each anime based on what they present, to give an honest and fair rating.

So this went from "I'm the 8th Son are you kidding me" to "Reincarnated as a Slime."
@Moppit That is interesting analysis of the anime. It is definitely is influenced by many of these types of anime. And it even reminds me of a written work I saw on youtube, about a kid using what were thought of as "useless skills" to build an entire town, village, city, then nation.

@Chrissfrann1 That could still happen, for example, if he is disowned, and some evil entity processes him and claiming to give him power to try to kill Liam, and/or join with the royal family that is threaten by his immense and growing power and position.

Liam is asked to protect the pixies from extinction. He turns them into elves, thereby eliminating that group of pixies from existence, hastening the extinction of the pixie race

Liam came to protect the pixies, ended up adding 16 more girls to his "harem". That's more than twice the number of girlfriends Rentarou currently has in the anime.

Oh my, things are escalating so fast they must be rushing through the source material.

Liam is exponentially getting overpowered, and I love it. The only thing missing is an enemy, but if not, it can be a chill slice of life cum guilty pleasure.

@Chrissfrann1 What do you two mean by “forgotten”? That he was isekai-ed has been mentioned multiple times in the episodes, especially in recent ones.

MC created a harem out of pixies, and then, a nation...?! a nation of his own harem/s? 🤔
It's not that I dislike this genre but... to add unnecessary fan services to/in/for heroines
and ultimately destroys her character and personality; their purity tarnished because of it,
is the only thing I hope to not happen to them. For that sole purity is my fan service.

This episode was ok, I just find it a bit weird that the Pixies are nameless and that they happily take the name Liam gives them.

Like others have said this is moving at breakneck speed and Liam is getting more OP by the episode. We are only in the 4th episode and the Queen is kneeling before him. I really hope we get some kind of significant conflict soon.

He can level up familiars like pokemon. Even the fairies evolved into elves. Should have been cute to have some fairies around. They found the promised land, curious about the world end prophecy. Well so this is now a nation building anime, wait that sounds familiar. Need more of the princess or should I say future queen of the new nation.
