Maybe it's just how common it is in these stories, but I'm amazed at how completely unaware the king was of his situation.

I mean... even if the King and other nobility are greedy as fuck, you'd think that they'd be keeping an eye on anything that could affect their power base. Unless he got his crown later in life, he's probably been king for a while and you generally don't get to stay king without at least some awareness of your situation.

Charitable answer? He's a middling king who was able to bypass or ignore most issues due to the looming threat. Now that the threat is gone, he's fucked.

Less charitable answer? The world is run by morons.

Probably this. He just assumed that the hero's party would fall under his control, and he could use them to threaten everyone else. Ego and complacency make for a lethal combo.

i guess he wasnt on the run but he got lured in by golem materials
Yeah, I had thought the first story arc was going to be him running and the girl trying to find him.

He was the king during (assuming he didn't recently get the job because the last one died) a massive world shattering doomsday event, you'd think him and his kingdom would be gone if he was this incompetent.

At least that part is realistic, the world has been dealing with that shit since the dawn of time.

Page 22... Double, simultaneously, headpats!? An uncensored three-way fully contact hand to head action!? How lascivious, how uncouth, how... oh wait, he's wearing gloves. Protection was applied, nevermind it's all good.

Also I guess the prepper from last chapter with discussions regarding bureaucracy kind of set us up for this quick rundown of the finances and immediate comeuppance and affirmation of economical collapse for the party that got in the way of their legal polygamous status, although any benefit seems to have been already set up to collapse if they were to lose the reduction in regulations which they enjoyed.

Also, loli princess governs the dragon kingdom. That checks out... I still have no clue what to think of this manga. It's a bit of a speedrun and a bit all over the place, yet oddly consistent.

I kinda get it.. basically the king himself wasn't fully aware of the situation, probably because the corrupt nobleman was telling him it was all good, but said all good was from the golem dude basically handling everything.. hence why the MC probably asked about hand off procedures, but being turned down by said corrupt nobleman just shrugged it off.

Thus leaving corrupt nobleman to not understand the impact of having someone who knows what they're doing handling things regardless of their status.. to then handing those positions over to other nobles who probably have no idea how to handle said things.. thus leading to things just falling apart?

tl;dr - usual "you done gone and fucked up without realizing it" trope.

Edit: Thanks for the TL! Getting more intrigued by this one and was super happy to see another new chapter today. Can't wait to read more!

OK. These two chapters were fun. I look forward to more, and maybe the story will even out a bit.

Golem Master is a kind of technical/creative type. Those kind often need a minder to take care of everything besides their work. They can have terrible judgement for people who are trying to exploit them, and tend to forget to eat and sleep. It looks like he'll have a harem of "minders" to look out for his interests and keep him doing what he does best (practically the only thing he does well, in a way).

Well, it looks like fun, and right now I am really in the mood to see unjust and venal rulers get the shaft.

Is it just me, or is the pacing horrendous? Story's intriguing, but holy crap, do they rush through like crazy.
Personally don't mind the pacing. There is only so many ways you can spin the introduction of the isekai. Most of which is overused and repetitive.

I assune the author assumes that the audience does not want a generic introduction of isekai and get into the real story.

So long he slows down the pacing after this, I believe its fine.

Problem with generic introduction isekai is, you would lose alot of readers that way by boring them. And you can only reinvent the wheel so many times with an introduction.

So, unless there is something they're going to share later, I'm pretty sure this isn't an isekai.

I'm moreso referring to things like the merchant stopping and randomly talking specifically to the MC without reason, which set the tray of them to travel together. The fact that girl number 2 didn't even get a real introduction. Girl number 1 apparently has a mind reading ability that wasn't explained seeing as she read the noble's mind about firing the MC when he never said it out loud. So many things like that where we're pushing the plot forward but we have little to no idea who anybody is or what they can do. Also, in chapter one, where MC made a bunch of humans disappear. In assuming those were golems, but the story hasn't told us what qualifies as a golem yet or how that power works, so we're just left with guesses.

I understand wanting to quickly grab readers' attentions, which it did, but we still need to have some understanding of who these people are, what they can do, and why we should care if we're going to have to follow them.

Albeit it's fast paced but to thinking the plot resolve on post-war management is kinda refreshing to me.
Time to look for next chapter then

Maybe his kingdom was in the backline so they were not affected that much
