After The WarSouma 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。 After The WarSouma 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。 。。。more

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（view spoiler）[， such as， 'who was the last hero and how did he relate to Souma' and 'who was the Demon Lord and why did Souma react that way to hearing his name' 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（view spoiler）[， such as， 'who was the last hero and how did he relate to Souma' and 'who was the Demon Lord and why did Souma react that way to hearing his name' （hide spoiler）] were not expanded on。 So， while I enjoyed reading this volume， I can't give it a higher rating。 。。。more

MY FAVOURITE VOLUME IN THE SERIES SO FAR REALLY LIKED A 5 STAR FOR ME

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 l 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。 。。。more

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 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。 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。 。。。more

Rough writingThis 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。 Rough writingThis 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。 。。。more

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 re 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。 。。。more

Good ReadI 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。

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！

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 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。 。。。more

Good stuff， though in the last quarter the author uses too much time rambling on about Machiavelli and stuff。 Would honestly prefer to have the book without illustrations， as they are so plain， and depict the characters nothing I like have imagined。

In completing 'How a Realist Hero Rebuilt the Kingdom' Volume 3， I have caught up to where I had read before and am now in new territory。 Where the second volume dealt with a （short） war， this one deals with consequences。 The （provisional） king， as main character， needs to deal with resolving issues from the previous books。 He is forced to deal with traitors that have honor， negotiations with an empire， as well as a host of other issues。 As with before， he frequently makes asides to the reader – In completing 'How a Realist Hero Rebuilt the Kingdom' Volume 3， I have caught up to where I had read before and am now in new territory。 Where the second volume dealt with a （short） war， this one deals with consequences。 The （provisional） king， as main character， needs to deal with resolving issues from the previous books。 He is forced to deal with traitors that have honor， negotiations with an empire， as well as a host of other issues。 As with before， he frequently makes asides to the reader – in this volume referring to particular chapters of Machiavelli's 'The Prince'， and how recalling acts in our history gave him ideas on how to deal with particular situations。 One aspect that I particularly like is that it reminds us of unanswered questions from the first book。 The specific details of what lead to the story beginning that didn't make sense at the time are not just glossed over， but are kept as an aside。 I also greatly appreciate that making decisions continues to weigh on the main character。 Even when he knows it is the right thing to do， while a King may have to order people's executions， he is also a person who was a student just a year ago。 The weight of his decisions continues to leave a mark on him。 I enjoy that I have quickly caught up to where I read a few years ago， and regret that there are only four more volumes that have been released thus far。 3 Books down for 2019， XX to go！ 。。。more

The sort of set up / calm after the storm type volume， Realist Hero 3 focuses a bit more on diplomacy and Souma's ladies。On the lady front， the cover features Juna， grandaughter of Excell Walter， as she does get an ok amount of play in this volume， specifically her role as an entertainer on the Jewel Voice broadcasts gets expanded on。 Still， Liscia and Ayisha get almost as much if not more play then her。 Other women do enter the story， but no one that seems too significant to the dynamic yet。I'd The sort of set up / calm after the storm type volume， Realist Hero 3 focuses a bit more on diplomacy and Souma's ladies。On the lady front， the cover features Juna， grandaughter of Excell Walter， as she does get an ok amount of play in this volume， specifically her role as an entertainer on the Jewel Voice broadcasts gets expanded on。 Still， Liscia and Ayisha get almost as much if not more play then her。 Other women do enter the story， but no one that seems too significant to the dynamic yet。I'd like to reread some portions of this， as it has a lot of Machiavelli wisdom and history lessons that I didn't quite grasp in a quick read。 Souma's actions get bogged down in some of this communication， which felt a bit needlessly wordy。 Don't expect any battles， or even many inventions in this one surprisingly。 It's all red tape politics。Overall， it just felt like one of those necessary calm down chapters。 There's nothing that interesting in this portion， and I think people worried about tropey harem elements may find this one a bit of a harbinger （I especially hated how the MC acted in the penultimate chapter， the standoffish attitude towards the acts of love; I would hope this book would broach the idea of him being a king building a family with some seriousness， but no， he's just as bad as any MC when it comes to acting mature in romance and progressing relationships）。 。。。more

Really good！Another in the series of （relatively） light kingdom intrigue。 I really enjoy the novelty of an intrigue novel with equal numbers of good people and bad ones。 Thanks for all your hard work！

This series continues to be one of my new favorite light novels。 I love how pragmatic and realistic the characters seem as well as new pieces of info that lead to more ambiguity about what is what。 I cannot wait for the next volume in this series！
