by Nazuna Miki, Joey Antonio (translator), KABOTYA (illustrator)

After overcoming their first war, Liam’s reputation as Monster King spreads far and wide across the land, even sparking the interest of the grand and influential organization known as the church. The esteemed archbishop’s spontaneous visit and a problematic prince’s delegation bring a new set of problems, but not even politics and diplomacy can divert Liam’s attention from his passionate pursuit of magic. The surrounding human nations can only watch in bewilderment as Liam charges straight through the murky trenches of nation-building with the help of his loyal subjects, his trusty dragon partner, and of course, his bottomless creativity for magic and spells. From producing specialty goods to shaping terrain to even manipulating time—there’s never a dull moment when Liam’s still hungry for magic!

Volume 4 of "I'm a Noble on the Brink of Ruin, So I Might as Well Try Mastering Magic" continues the established narrative trajectory, focusing on the ongoing attempts by various, often nonsensical, characters to seize control of Liam's territory. This volume introduces another romantic interest for Liam, this time connected to the second most powerful dragon. However, Liam's disinterest in romance remains a consistent character trait, with his primary focus remaining firmly fixed on the pursuit of magical mastery.

This installment, unfortunately, marks a significant decline in engagement with the series. The repetitive nature of the plot, coupled with the introduction of yet another romantic subplot that feels incongruous with the protagonist's established priorities, detracts from the overall narrative. The lack of compelling character development and the reliance on seemingly arbitrary conflicts further weaken the story.

Consequently, it is unlikely that further volumes of this light novel series will be pursued. A rating of 1 out of 5 reflects the significant dissatisfaction with this volume's content and its contribution to the overall series arc.

The series has been entertaining so far, but this volume tuned into complete stupidity when they added the new dragon who is just a mockery to femininity. The character is a completely airhead slut. I do not understand why the addition of this type of character when the whole series has been pretty subdued when it come to the harem arrangement. Why do we need a whore added? Then the whole conversation with his older brother, was SO stupid! Why does he keeps opening the door for morons? What a total let down! Onto my next adventure, Happy Readings!!!

It got better

This Bolivar so many good things. I liked how Liam's older brother thought he had power over him. The introduction of the new dragon that has been head over heels for liam. I expect Liam will get stronger with the help of the new dragon. I honestly find it weird no one has mentioned when Liam will take a queen.

Romance?

The lack of actual romance is becoming tiresome for me. The author gives a nonsensical answer for that, about the protagonist being immune to such feelings. Which just makes the protagonist seem more unbelievable.

Losing interest rapidly

Very little happened and what did happen was very quickly resolved. This will be my last purchase in this series.
