I'm the Evil Lord of an Intergalactic Empire!, Volume 7
LIAM THE HERO?!
After repelling the United Kingdom's invasion, Liam's faction is now more powerful than the First Prince's. Before he can settle things with Calvin, though, a magic circle pops up out of nowhere right at Liam's feet. He and Japanese high school girl Kanami have both been caught up in an undeveloped planet's hero summoning and are tasked with nothing less than defeating the Demon Lord! But...Liam's supposed to be evil, so why is he fighting some Demon Lord as a hero?!

Having reread the earlier volumes of the series before starting on volume 7 made both the good and the bad points all the more apparent for me.
Great entertaining characters with some over-the-top silly actions due to some rather unexpected developments. Having Liam suddenly disappear and end up in a hero summoning, and having the fellow summoned hero being his teenage daughter from a previous life, was certainly a very well chosen driver of the plot of this book both for Liam as those left behind at Benfield's territory. If anything, I wouldn't have minded if some aspects got a bit more attention.
On the other hand, some jokes are getting a bit old (such as for example the whole thing with producing a heir or insistence of wanting a harem despite evidence to the contrary) and a lack of character development of most characters. Don't get me wrong, too much growth would probably hurt the comedy, but still some things are getting a bit stale.
Anyway, a great read as expected and a very good addition to the series. The author certainly delivered.

I finished out the very end of May 2025 by reading _I'm the Evil Lord of an Intergalactic Empire!_ light novels 1-8 (i want more more) and the manga series 1-5. the anime version is in this Spring 2025 season "Ore wa Seikan Kokka no Akutoku Ryoushu".
The series is laugh out loud funny (well silly), has AI maids, Mecha, lots of mecha, "The Way of the Flash", evil gods... and well, i like it (a lot).

Good Recipe. Always Delivers
Every book in this series is funny, written well and fun. I am beyond pleased that the writer has kept the original premise, and the cast of characters is fun without being gratuitous. I am beyond impressed with this series.

Great addition to the series!
This was a great addition to the series. I can't wait to read the next one! I'm also hoping for an adaption for an anime of this series. I think I'd be a hit!

"An insignificant being like you probably can't comprehend this, but you're not the height of evil — humans are." (page 267)
Whoops. For all of Liam Sera Banfield's prattle over his purportedly dark, vile, egotistical, and perverted aspirations to surmount the nobility, manipulate the commonfolk, and wield a large military, the young man often falls short of his ambitions. But not this time. It turns out, when Liam finds himself in the context of the "have nots," and when he discovers people have no choice but to put their faith in him and his abilities, being "evil" is frightfully easy.
I'M THE EVIL LORD OF AN INTERGALACTIC EMPIRE v7 strips Liam of the convenience of being surrounded by kind enablers, well-wishing butlers, amicable maid robots, and fawning military officers. The pitiless ego that crowds out Liam's heart takes center stage in a novel that pokes myriad fun at its own genre, and exposes readers to a well-established but less-explored problem inherent to isekai literature: the hero summoning that goes woefully wrong.
A lot happens in this novel. And for the first time in a long time, readers will have an extraordinary time figuring out where to place their energy. When Liam is whisked away by a relatively inadequate teleportation circle, House Banfield falls into chaos in every conceivable way: mobile knights bicker, feud, and factionalize; presumably loyal government officials descend into debauchery; distant relatives emerge to lay claim the house's spoils; and, back at the capital, scowling figures scheme further shenanigans amid mounting fear over Liam's growing prominence. In brief, a wary conversation between Liam, Brian, and Amagi about how succession would be messy and dirty for the whole of House Banfield is proven damningly accurate in dreadfully short notice.
The best part about EVIL LORD v7 is that despite all of these troubles and mishaps, the novel is written with such calculating organization that everything is wrapped up all nice and neat by the end. Yes, the novel runs long at 475+ pages, but the book doesn't have any wasted space. The author deserves plenty of credit for forging, outlining, and interweaving smaller stories that all hinge on the comically overwrought and desperate nature of all of Liam's subordinates (and, in part, all of Liam's rivals).
But where does Liam go? That teleportation circle sends him to another world (same universe) and tosses him into the fray of the less industrious Erle Kingdom and it's life-or-death fight against Demon Lord Gorius. Liam knows he can defeat the demon lord and his minions with a flick of the wrist, so he decides to have some fun with this impromptu vacation. He calls this little trip a "transmigration to another world" (page 112), and treats it akin to an otaku fawning over a selfsame isekai narrative.
The Erle Kingdom's young queen is in a bit of a pickle, though. She finds herself with two heroes. One is Liam, who is rude, arrogant, and very much a nihilist in practice. Another is a young Japanese girl with a striking resemblance to the daughter of the person who has since become Liam Sera Banfield (She couldn't possibly be the little girl from his former life, could she?). Kanami espouses confidence, empathy, and kindness, which earns her Liam's ire, but not without a mote of respect when it becomes clear she's operating on the philosophical paradigm her forsaken father once bequeathed in days gone by.
EVIL LORD v7 gives a very healthy spotlight to Liam's dark nature as evidenced by those who are wholly unaccustomed to his character. The pure villainy on display is starkly efficient, as well as a pure joy to read. Liam-the-summoned-hero suffers no fools. He abuses those without experience ("Valuing morality over ability was stupid," page 246). He rebukes those whose power falls short ("Can you hear the voices of the dead? If you can, listen closely, I think you'll find out just how brutal a human I am," page 269). And he demands clarity of hierarchy to weed out the incompetent ("The queen doesn't want to help her people [..] She only wants to help herself by appearing kind in other people's eyes," page 247).
But again, a lot happens in this novel. The increased focus on Claus Sera Mont, the awkward yet reliable knight constantly suffering from ulcers, is a delightful distraction. The expanded creativity of the Guide shows that his miscalculations can prove hilariously rotten. And the brief appearance of House Banfield's numerous hangers-on grant readers an opportunity to see what happens when Liam decides to take justice into his own hands.
