Finally, some legitimate castle intrigue.
Liam may act like a bit of an idiot from time to time, but he also shows flashes of considerable political fortitude and military badassery. I'M THE EVIL LORD OF AN INTERGALACTIC EMPIRE v5 fully delivers to readers an evolved Liam who is educated, experienced, and an uncompromising noble with plenty of money and influence behind his unpredictable interests. Forming trading alliances with other intergalactic nations? Fearlessly muscling into conversation with the Algrand Empire's top princes vying for the throne? Picking up waifish young women while out on a leisurely stroll? Challenging one of the empires most established warriors to one-on-one combat? If Liam isn't careful, he might actually live up his imaginary reputation of being a bad guy.
Following his tenure of military service, Liam enters another educational stint. But before he wraps up his schooling endeavors and returns to his domain to start ruling in earnest, the young man gets it in his head to start screwing around with the Empire's politics. And why not? Some opportunities are too good to waste. It turns out the quest for succession is tight. Crown Prince Calvin is on top, closely followed by the tempestuous second prince, Linus, and the all but forgotten third prince, Cleo. Liam, naturally, throws his weight behind the meek and disempowered third prince.
EVIL LORD v5 tracks the fallout.
Whether Liam can successfully install a puppet emperor is a question for another day. For now, readers must be content with the reality that Liam has joyously assembled a new rogues gallery for himself. Nobles despise him. Royalty dreads him. Knights panic at his name. Liam takes pleasure in staring down those who underestimate him, no matter their station ("You can't just summon me and force me to swear my allegiance to you," page 82). The funniest example occurs when he meets Cleo Noah Albareto, the third prince, and flashes a cunning smile to his personal guard. The female guard's blood runs cold.
Curiously, while these troubles are of Liam's own making, the author takes to validating Liam's paranoia with actual intrigue. The Empire's highest ranks are indeed scheming to run the young count into the ground with financial sanctions. Figures in the shadows are indeed hoping the the young man mysteriously vanishes through the work of assorted assassins for hire. EVIL LORD v5 skillfully meshes Liam's affection for expanding his political and economic influence with the rest of the nobility's unmitigated uncertainty and caution.
For example, Liam dispatches his various merchant buddies to neighboring nations: the Intergalactic Rustwarr Union (a democratic alliance) and the United Kingdom Of Oxys (a fragmented nobility system). Hard-bargaining and undercover work reveal some black-market shenanigans and a few easily corrupted officials, some of which may work in the young count's favor.
Altogether, EVIL LORD v5 is the payoff this novel series deserves. The current volume features a lot of fantastic, smaller narrative elements, which, in combination, drive the novel series forward with cleverness and alacrity:
A casual discussion on gender parity and gender expression is later validated by characters experimenting with transitioning. Commentary on individual character disposition gains greater clout when Liam learns he has yet another devoted knight with a "bad personality," in Chengsi Sera Tohrei, who adores violence as much as Tia and Marie. A brutal, extended fight scene turns even more chaotic when a so-called swordmaster shows up and starts tearing through Liam's personnel, only for the hero evil lord to step in at the last moment. And finally, Liam's perpetual calm, while under threat from the Empire, earns admiration among other planetary rulers in the outskirts ("I was a true villain, so it was natural that other villains would gather around me," page 157).

Okay, stuff is happening!
This book is good for setting up what is going to happen in the next few novels. The main one being the struggle for the Empire's throne. We are introduced to Cleo, who is in line for the throne. They are not a serious contender, and kinda looked down upon because they were born a girl and their mom changed their gender to male. This fact alone, makes this character quite fascinating in this book. In this world, one can change their sex easily, and as mentioned in one of the books, some people go on to start life as one sex, and then transition later on to live out the rest of their life as another. Cleo, unlike a lot of the other side characters, actually gets more development than most. We get to see how they struggle being tied to the protagonist, as well as how they deal with their brothers. This was an interesting character to add and I am glad the author did.
We also get introduced to the blue haired girl, and OMG, the reveal to that. So well done, and I won't spoil it here, but it creates a few plot points for later books and I honestly am waiting to see how that plays out.
Other than those, and a few other events, this book really saves the series as it had started to lag at this point. I will be honest, I wasn't a fan of the idea of Liam joining the battle for the throne, but it does add a lot to the story, and creates a fair bit of conflict in the overall story.
And the Guide... at this point I am pretty much done with this character. He really doesn't add anything to the plot, and honestly, just feels like he should be gone at this point. We all know he is going to start the book being weak, get some energy, start a plot to get Liam, then get hurt, and get slammed back to being powerless again. Boring.
Anyway, in the end, this book kinda saves the series and I hope it keeps getting better.

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).

I was worried because volumes 3 and 4 were sorta disappointing, but this one pulled the series up just before I was on the verge of dropping it. Great volume.

A terrible step back in the story.
The mysterious blue haired girl is unwelcome.
The relationship between Liam and Kurt takes a bizarre but predictable turn, for a manga, anyway.
The rest of it, you've read 2 or 3 times before in this series with slight variations.

💚💛💙💜
Ahhhh I am obsessed/in love with this series!! It just gets better and better. With Liam's adventures and misunderstandings being so amusing. I cannot wait to see what happens next because there was quite a shock in this book and I'm all for it. Honestly I am looking forward to when he officially makes his harem it is such an amusing affair!!

I KNEW IT!!!
This is a perfect continuation of the series. It is so hard to write this review without any spoilers!! The author has outdone himself again. The Way of the Flash!!

Liam continues his shenanigans at the Capital Planet. While a student at college, he gets angry at the first and second prince of the empire so he decide to support the third prince Cleo. The second prince Linus doesn't take this slight gracefully, trying to deal with Liam and his friends, but seriously underestimates our villain's skill and support.
Much like previous volumes, it is a fun and entertaining read of our villain trying to be villainous, but somehow ending up quiet heroic. Sure, keeping up the narrative requires a string of coincidences (even the MC questions these) and a MC with some very odd ideas about what villains do, but it keeps things grounded enough for me to keep me hooked and enjoying the story despite the occasional eye roll.
All in all, a good and fun read and solid addition to the series.
