—Look at this person.
The slaughter of the Demon Lord driven by power is taking place.

「I am your answer.」

Demon Lord Dantalian has gained a tremendous wealth due to the Black Death.
Inversely, the humans are leading an army to steal the source of his wealth.
As danger approaches closer by the hour, Dantalian remembers the individual that was to become ‘the greatest commander in the world’. The 16-year-old girl who was fated to become a slave—the esteemed daughter of a high noble family that had all perished, Laura De Farnese.

The Demon Lord’s vassals were starting to gather.

[Santiago Castaño Acevedo · Rating 5 out of 5]

Empezamos con la gran emoción que nos dejó la primera entrega, pero así como los golpes de la vida, rápidamente nos cae un balde de agua fría y nos deja atónitos ante los eventos que ocurren y nos dejan con ese sabor amargo que en una búsqueda implacable buscamos su origen, pero tal como va transcurriendo la historia no comprendemos como llego a los sucesos del principio,peroo... Cuando vemos aparecer el sol naciente del final, comprendemos como un plan completamente malévolo aparece y como una bestia acecha a sus presas poco a poco para conseguir su objetivo.

Ahhhh! That end...

[Andy Febrico Bintoro · Rating 4 out of 5]

This is a light novel, so the plot is not that deep, but the story quite interesting. The action part here is not that much, more on negotiations.

Unnecessary ending, kinda unsatisfactory, but decent plot structure overall.

Well it would appear I struck gold after all this time. While the first volume was a solid start and got me excited for more, this cemented it as truly great. Here we have a familiar setting/premise main character knowledgeable about game in particular gets warped into the world and uses that knowledge to blah blah blah* and it's following the more ruthless protagonist that's more common in Chinese works but has been getting more popular elsewhere as of late.

Well this time they have actually successfully sold the sociopathic main character to me, it's also great that he isn't needlessly violent it's just that he doesn't care he is out for power, but that's not entirely what this volume is about.

This volume is mostly about him and his co-conspirator dealing with their growing feelings towards each other, yes it's a romance between 2 completely power hunger sociopaths and how they come to the understanding that they both of power or "authority" as they call it more than each other. This culminates in the last 2 chapters as one of the most bizarre love confessions and an absolutely insane reveal to someone else trying to manipulate them.

The volume also leaves a lot open for future volumes and really cemented that things are about to get way crazier and the main character will not have such an easy time in the future.

*hey at least it's not one of those awful cheat ones that's been popular lately
