The Magic Lord

Review as of Chapter 11, this is definitely a great read so far! Quick summary: Guy who’s been a servant to the scoundrel count’s son since they were both children, always cleaning up his messes under slave like conditions, regresses and enter’s the count’s son’s body 15 years earlier. He then goes to the dragon lair where he died and learns magic. Now with him in his new body, and the count passed away, his goal is to fix the territory.

This series seems to focus more on territory improvement than magic, which I prefer, but still keeps both entertaining in my opinion. The MC is extremely pleasant, immediately apologizes to people who the count’s son has wronged, is humble and ambitious. A little generic, but easy to root for. The magic system is even more basic, but you can still see that the MC puts effort into which is nice that he doesn’t immediately become a god. The MC also has shown some clever and actually intelligent decision-making which makes for fun, somewhat surprising plot points. The side characters are also a little bland, we have basically one multi-dimensional ally so far, but we’re still in the early stages and I can tell that the plot is just getting started which I’m looking forward to it. As I reread this review, it might seem like I think this is just kinda average, but I genuinely love this so far, the first 11 chapters get a solid 8.2/10 for me.
