    Ch.142 The novel does exactly what the title says. We follow Eryk, a 25-year-old man from Earth who must adapt in a magical world as a conscripted legionnaire. The pace is slow and makes you want to read 1,000 chapters because it is so interesting. I highly recommend the novel to everyone.

    This is extremely good, like really really good, no wasted time on romance, nice pacing with enough balance between training and plot armor to justify the mc improvements, but without making him too op, i need more like this I genuinely ask for recommendations and please avoid anything murim or without the magic and swords concept

      Don't search with novel name bro it gonna mess up whole order in most annoying way. Go to search section within author name there search author name which I am sure you know 😅😅 the it will direct you to page with all chapters released by author where you will find the chapter arranged with release dates. That will make it lot simpler.

      Go to the latest chapter and read the box above the comment section where it says to support the autor. It will say something like "the original work was posted on 'censored'" the name i censored here is the name of the site just google it and search the name of the novel.

        M8 its free! The mods give warnings to people if they write site names so i have to do some shenanigans to ket u know. At the end of every chapter bellow the next button and above the comment section we have a message that reads: "The novelwas originally written by Alwaysrollsaone and published on **********". What is censored is the name of the site. If u go in a chap and find this message u will know the name and u can google that. Just search the name of the novel in that site and now u have the latest chapters for free. U can always wait till they get published here too...

      Not deep romance soft/causual flings. Though the most recent chick he’s been with seems like she will be the main.

        What do you mean "most recent chick"? There is no "most recent chick"!

        If you read up to 251----dont keep reading if you don't want spoilers that far---- the MC is definitely active with some women, he has a situationship with one named Renna but other factors have that on pause while they're off doing different things due to the story and they're far apart geographically.

        Around chapter 200. With Reena(girl with 4 elements) he even gifted her his only fire apex essense. Pretty waste from my point of view since fire essense would have help him open his fire affinity and in future he would have gotten some real attack spell sooner

        She is not a h** atleast that's what I think 😂😂😂 but the way it is written, both seems quite natural during seggs or maybe it's my imagination 😂. The way reens interact with MC is like lovers if you ask my opinion

      A practical guide to evil is really good. Give it a look. It starts a tad slow but gets really freaking good as it goes on. Great morally grey protagonist

      I became a genius commander at the academy. While it has "academy" in the title, it's limited to early chapters only. Most of the novel is about rising through the ranks to try become the grand commander. It's not roman specifically, it's focused in central European region. It has light romance, political and combat influences.

    It's going to be a long novel since it's slice of life and all that, putting on hold till 3 to 4 hundred chapter, hopefully author doesn't butchers it by then. And someone needs to do some sh*t about the stats chart sheet kill the whole vibe.

    MC is strong but not ,,I can kill a hundred man alone 🗿" strong but ,,I am the elite of the army and can kill multiple enemies but a slight mistake can take my life" strong. In a 1vs1 type of fight he's really and I mean REALLY powerful but in a fight with multiple enemies he becomes a normal elite soldier who would die if their number are 10 plus. So MC is strong for a soldier but he can't overpower everyone he meets and needs allies or he would die in this world.

      realistic, if you put jon jones or mike tyson against 8+ random guys who have any intelligence they get there *ss beat. because if they all attack at the same time no amount of strength, or technique will save you from being stomped out.
