    If this is the same story i think it is then you'd better enjoy this while you can. I remember trying to read this a few years ago and couldn't because the author had removed it from the site (RR) and chose to sell it on Amazon.

      I've read ahead 300 plus chapters unfortunately the story just drops massively ,it just becomes another generic novel.Real shame since this really was a hidden diamond.

        I don't know I liked the slow burn kinda dark fantasy thing but I feel to advance the story in a reasonable time especially after he gets slow aging and stuff it needed some changes and faster pacing. but the stuff with the story i think in the orc arc specifically changes a lot on how the mc would operate idk I like the direction the story is moving and how fast its moving

    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.
