How a Realist Hero Rebuilt the Kingdom Light Novel #3
How a Realist Hero Rebuilt the Kingdom, Volume 3
With the subjugation of the Principality of Amidonia accomplished, Souma, the provisional king, begins the post-war cleanup process with his next move, Project Lorelei. It is an entertainment program that uses the Jewel Voice Broadcast. It was originally only thought that this program would amuse the people of the Kingdom, but it is being broadcast in occupied Van, too. What does Souma hope to accomplish with that...?! Then, when Souma takes some time off to rest in the capital of Amidonia, Van, with Juna and Tomoe, he encounters Jeanne Euphoria, the younger sister of the Empress of the Gran Chaos Empire.
What sort of “negotiation” does the “realistic” Jeanne, who supports her idealistic sister, have in store for Souma...?! The revolutionary transferred-to-another-world administrative fantasy is now on its third volume!

Who knew harems came with so much paperwork?
July 25, 2017
This is in many ways both the strongest and weakest volume of the series so far. This volume deals with the aftermath of the war as new, bigger players are introduced, such as the rulers of the Gran Chaos Empire. The world in Realist Hero becomes a much bigger place this volume, and that's a good thing. Mixing in history with strategy is where the author shines, and it gets plenty of opportunities to do that here.
On the negative, this is a really slow volume. It takes a while for things to ramp up and when it does the payoff isn't all that exciting. Isekai ("from another world") light novels struggle the most in the early volumes. They're trying to introduce you to a cool premise that separates it from the other billion isekai novels out there. Realist Hero did a wonderful job of that in the first volume, but by the third volume the novelty has worn off and we're left with a middling light novel.
This book featured more waifu-baiting than the other two novels combined. The ship moves forward and there's only one this time: Souma with literally everyone. It's frankly bland and massively detracts from the rest of the work. Does it handle romance better than other light novels of its ilk? I would say so, but this is still just shy of terrible. Readers deserve better.

Rough writing
This book was a low point in the series for me. I kept plodding through and the next book managed to recover. It felt like the author's Machiavelli love was toned up and even had the protagonist addressing the reader to be sure to mollify and assure that he's not a bad guy in the actions he's taking. It might not apply to others, but having an author tell me how to feel about a character causes much cringe in me.

What a fine mess this is.
Not to say King Souma didn't see it coming. But still, this is quite the mess.
Settling rebellions throughout the kingdom, resolving a war in the west and articulating a policy of interior resilience sure to earn him praise for generations to come . . Souma's workload somehow does nothing but grow. In REALIST HERO . . . #3, the Fourteenth Sovereign of Elfrieden Kingdom, makes more work for himself when it becomes evident he can wield his newness to his nation's advantage when confronted with his first major bout of international diplomacy.
This volume provides an intriguing and exciting case in point for the brilliance of pragmatism in politics. No matter how fanciful and convenient the outcomes, the wild and meandering path Souma takes toward resolution is admirable. A secret pact with the largest military force on the continent? Sure. But not without earning financial reparations from a third party, not without extracting statistical detail from military fixtures and not without letting his prime minister get his hands on the royal archives of a rogue state. Souma makes his mark by thinking five contingencies ahead. It may be only a matter of time before this truly backfires on him. But until then, readers can revel in the sheer coolness of a sovereign who cares so much about the future of his people that he's willing to be cruel to them when it matters.
REALIST HERO . . . #3 moves on from the war in Amidonia and into the sphere of corollary politics: the tectonic plates have shifted, what next? New to this volume is Jeanne Euphoria: soldier, emissary and sister of the Empress of the Gran Chaos Empire. Jeanne is a friendly and unvarnished complement to Souma's even-tempered ambition. As such, when the two negotiate in the aftermath of the Amidonian conflict, it's oddly fun and admirable to see both parties angle for what they desire most: for Souma, a future full of guarantees; for Jeanne, an ally more confident than troublesome. It remains to be seen how far Dojyomaru will go toward articulating the politics of the continent at large, but this quick and dirty glimpse into how other nations operate is rather fascinating. REALIST HERO . . . #3, after all, argues that King Souma influences not merely those native to Elfrieden Kingdom but everyone he encounters, near and far.
This volume is solid. On the plus side, the author pays thoughtful detail toward enabling Souma to navigate post-war negotiations from a position of authority. It wouldn't be particularly rewarding if the readers knew everything Souma wanted from the start, so it's good the author tosses in a few surprises when it comes to Souma outwitting (or attempting to outwit) all other political forces at the table. Another plus is the big reveal concerning a mysterious certain someone pulling the strings in the shadows to ensure Souma's reign is one of benevolence. Dojyomaru hints this could be the First Queen, Elisha, but it's all speculation at this point.
This volume also contains a bevy of those elements that casual readers of light novels might find galling. The author's tendency to info dump worldbuilding knowledge in the middle of everyday commentary tends to stipple eager banter with unnecessarily huge paragraphs. And let's not forget that chapter dedicated to stripping bare Machiavelli's notion of authorial duplicity among the ruling class—it's positively sleep-inducing. Dojyomaru's REALIST HERO . . . #3 is fun but remains deeply prone to genre affectations.

The first half of this third volume, could have been summarized in a page or two.. If the objective from the Grand Chaos Empire and the Amidonia prince was to get its capital Van back, then there is no sense to construct infrastructure (8 bridges), commerce and trade routes that in the short future will be used to "re-invade" the Elfrieden Kingdom again and again.
The proposal of the Empire, for Amidonia to pay reparations for the invasion of the Elfrieden Kingdom is ridiculous. The oppressed people of Amidonia, already has little or no basic right and no voice in the invasion that caused them to "pay" for the negligence and arrogance of the past king and his royal family. The people of Amidonia pay for the warmonger monarchy and then they are supposed to pay for the reparations of a vengeful invasion as well? The Empire should have forced the royal family to abdicate, the nobles to give up all their territories and titles as reparations for the invasion. The country of Amidonia (territory and government) should be given to the people and the wealth of the royal family and the nobles should be used in reparation to Elfrieden.
There is an obvious confusion in this alternate reality world in the way they classify the humanoids, beast-folk. spirit-folk. insect hives and demons. Because the Demon Lord is the biggest enemy of "humanity" I think they need to improve the way they classify their "enemies".
Machiavelly is not a god, nor is his work, scriptures. That Machiavelli is obligatory reading in Political Sciences does not mean that his thoughts are useful towards governance or the ruling of a monarchy. Machiavelli's philosophy in a nutshell was about gaining and keeping power in a medieval society. It was characterized by a lack of ethical values and results based (doing what needs to get done versus doing what is right).
I think it is absurd to sentence to death the best warriors of the Kingdom (Georg Carmine, Vargas and his daughter Carla) just to keep face with the Mercenary Kingdom and the corrupt and treacherous nobles from Elfrieden. A monarchy is authoritarian, discretionary and subjective by nature, and never just or fair (because the King and Monarchy put their personal interests first and care only for themselves). So Souma had no reason to be just and fair to the foreign mercenaries or the corrupt and treacherous nobles. A just person would never have killed an honest, loyal and powerful official within their Kingdom. It's Pyrrhic and crass, like the Kamikaze that would be ordered to kill themselves to damage their enemies. There are no justifiable deaths in war and politics.
In that sense, one cannot punish a person or group of people for crimes that they have not yet committed. The opportunistic nobles that maybe in the future would commit treason are not guilty of treason before they actually commit treason. You cannot punish someone for something they have not yet done. Souma sentenced to death 12 nobles that in the future could have betrayed the Kingdom. If lived out their lives, those 12 nobles could have not committed treason as well. By murdering them beforehand, those nobles were innocent of the crimes they were sentenced to death for.

We have another instance of the anime doing a better job of telling the story than the light novel its based on. But it did start closing the gap from the stumble it took in Book 2 and ive been told that it starts getting much better again.
Its an Isekai that fulfills a very specific type of nerdy fantasy that is otherwise very rare. What could you accomplish with your modern knowledge of the hard sciences, economics, and politics if you were sent back in time 500-1000 years. And it fulfills that fantasy particularly well.. when it finds the time to do it.
It gets very Machiavellian with a side of Xanatos Speed Chess. But it takes it all in good humour and in stride, and we do get some character development and for a rarity in a story that has been clearly heading towards a harem from the start, it chooses to develop the personality and strengths of the women in the protagonists life instead of just add more of them. Is it the highest tier of literature? No. But its nice to see once in a while so im giving it credit.
Really the main problem here (outside of valid tastes from people who simply dont like the genre) is that its still bogged down in the mire it stuck itself in in book 2. We have mostly cleared all of it, but writing the military side of political change clearly isnt the strong suit here even if the rest of the world building is incredible.
The translation quality remained better than average but not great, and nowhere near book one with a few notable exceptions where someone clearly put a LOT more effort to making a translated joke stick than in the rest of the book. Its really rare to see the translation quality keep up past book 2 so I have high hopes for the next in the series.

This one was actually really sad. Souma had to deal with the unfortunate part of being a king. He had to deal with the traitors, negotiating with the empire and all the other things. It was obvious how much all of it was weighing on him. From his pov to Liscia's to Hakuya's, it was evident how much he was questioning his choices and how he had to handle everything. Again, I love how supportive Liscia and the others are so supportive of him. Though it was sad seeing them also watching Souma break. Heavy is the weight that wears the crown. I hope in the coming books that he gets a bit happier. I do think the way he handled the traitors was perfect. He didn't have many great options and chose well with what he had. He has also made official Liscia as his First Queen, Aisha as Second Queen, and after some time Juna as his Third Queen. Roroa is an intelligent character, and I wonder what she'll do next. She's obviously smarter than her brother Julius.

This was a 2.5 star read which means both that I didn't think it was very good but also that I plan to read the next book because I just enjoy a leisurely isekai story that I don't need to think much about while reading. I guess it's one of those genres where, even if a book isn't good, I still enjoy it to a degree... pretty much like fast food that you have cravings for.
Nothing really happens in this story other than a bit of war aftermath and tidying up of various minor plot details. It felt like an epilogue chapter that turned into an entire book, so a very dissatisfying experience. I don't feel too attached to any of the characters in this series (and there are honestly too many of them), but since the plot is just different enough from the average isekai, I just have that small curiosity of where is this story going that gets me to pick up the next book.

Don't get me wrong... I enjoy the story overall, it's like fast-food for the eyes/brain...
It seems plenty were annoyed by the Machiavelli part. It really did get annoying to have to read several pages of the character trying to rationalize their actions to the audience.
But what I find more amusing that the Main Character, assumably a teenager? Is able to quote from a 16th-century book on political theory from an Italian political theorists and not just a little bit, but entire chapters from the book. Needless to say, I know it's a "fantasy" story. But suspension of disbelief only goes so far, as that's kind of an oddly specific piece of information for a teenager to know so well.
But, now I know who Machiavelli is...

How a Realist Hero Rebuilt the Kingdom: 3
Set a few days after the taking of Amidonia's capital city of Van, this story is about the aftermath of war - recovery, political machinations, rewards, and punishments. Prince Julius of Amidonia applies to the Gran Chaos Empire under the terms of the Mankind Declaration for the return of his country, claiming that his deceased father was completely to blame for the invasion of Elfrieden, not that anyone believes him. MC is busy as usual, dealing with administrative matters and the realities of making difficult decisions on a grand scale. There were hints that this series might take a dive into the harem cliche, and unfortunately, it looks like that might be coming true. Still a solid read, though, and am looking forward to the sequel.

Volume 3 continues the story of Souma as he works to transform the Kingdom he has been summoned into in this Isekai story.
The premise remains intriguing enough to keep me reading, with new characters occasionally popping up as the story marches on.
There are a few twists and turns as the plot develops - and a lot of info dumping again.
This book contained a higher than normal amount of Japanese cultural and pop culture references that I was unfamiliar with and had to google as a result. It also really leans into the references to Machiavelli and The Prince.
Because of the heavy and sometimes overly-heavy exposition and references this book gets 3.5 out of 5.

Again, there are some points that I really liked regarding military and diplomatic strategy. However, the characters' actions were often immature. There was also a lot of sexism, which ticked me off at more than one point... Some faulty statements were used, too. Furthermore, some questions that were raised at the beginning of the story were not expanded on. So, while I enjoyed reading this volume, I can't give it a higher rating.

After The War
Souma is taking a forced day of relaxation when he is approached by a beautiful girl. She happens to be the Empire representative in charge of negotiations for the return of the city of Van to the country who started the war. Political intrigue and rhetoric ensure. It seems that it is a time to collect wives, much to Souma's embarrassment. I like the action, humor, political intrigue, and romance. I look forward to the next book.

At this point, the title should be renamed to 'How Machiavelli fan transported to another world' or in short, 'Machiavelli isekai'. Whatever the writer intention was, it was disappointing to force the reader to skim the summary of The Prince. If I were the writer, I would made reference to more than one figure, more than one book.
The story itself is rather fine but that was overshadowed by unnecessary narratives and references here and there.

Every attractive, capable woman in this book is in love with the MC. Really?
And he's completely memorized The Prince as well as The Art of War. And knows all about major battles and how/why they were lost or won. At nineteen. Well, Japanese schools are probably 100% better than US schools, so maybe.
But what bothered me *a lot* was not standing up for Carla when she was being seriously bullied by Serena. He's afraid of a maid. Please.

This was the weakest volume so far. Focusing on the Harem things and a lot of quotes from the prince ruined the plot in my point of view. I don't know if I'll read the next volumes or not. I really like the story and I want to see how it's gonna end, but with the author focusing on 'fan service', I think that might ruin the whole story.

Good story and Characters.
Another good book in this serie. A little bit slow sometimes but easy and fun to read. Souma keeps working hard in order to stabilize his kingdom. A lot of references to Machiavelli and Sun Tzu and nice to see how to author debates some conflicting points and how it drives the story.

This series is a lot of fun. Yes, I have seen the anime and that attracted me to actually reading the light novels and they are a lot more fun. What he is doing is better explained as usual in books then can ever be done in an anime or movie. Having said that this volume covers the effects after the week war. All very instrumental on the future.

would have given five stars but
The author would not shut up about “The Prince” by Machiavelli. For several pages were filled with quotes and multiple full sentences taking up to ten pages on my kindle at a time. Not sure how much it adds up to in real copy vs epub copy but quoted it way to much and seems like it won’t stop any time soon

POLITICSSSSSSSSS!!!
So much politics.
It wasn’t bad. It was just political drama instead of action drama.
The coolest part was near the end with the trial and the .... ninjas!

Good Read
I love the story, the plot twist and character development is amazing in this book. A lot of characters introduced, sometimes hard to remember all the roles.

Great casual read
I like the slice of life feel. With enough action and drama to keep things interesting. Souma reads like a laid back Lelouche.
