The guide's powers aside, it's worrisome it was possible for a random student to cheat in a simulator belonging to the military academy. Unless the thing belongs to a club Dolph is a member of.

I mean, at this point it's clearly shown that the Empire more or less runs on nepotism. Having a simulator altered is hardly anything anyone would care about, especially if their palms were greased.

The guide never learns does he? Liam has been winning this entire time and instead of letting him taste a loss here, the guide insists on giving him the win so that a loss later will be more crushing. Sure, I understand that a loss here isn't that significant (though one could argue he staked his pride and dominance over Dolph here, which is important for a noble), but still, the guide isn't even considering the possibility of failing at ruining Liam's life when he's never succeeded!

He's kind of in a bind because of his past failures. Had he stayed gone after first seeing Liam shine despite the situation he put him in, he would be better off. However, he's become obsessed with seeing Liam fall and came back to this world and after receiving Liam's wholehearted gratitude, he's now stuck there so he has to make his plans succeed so that he gets enough dark energy to be able to leave freely again. ONLY every single time he gets a good dose of it, he flies back to the flame that is Liam instead of just taking the energy and cut his loses.

Isn't the empire waging a continuous war against its neighbours? A hacked simulator would affect the future officers' learning process negatively. But then again, I could also see the emperor simply wanting to keep the nobility unendingly losing their forces in the infinite war, to keep their power in check, as long as the empire doesn't start to lose territory.

None of those wars are total wars, because of the massive size of the Empire. The lost some territory? Doesn't matter, there is a lot more where that came from.

Because of this nobles do most of the on-ground ruling, it's no wonder nepotism and corruption is prevalent and hardly anybody higher up cares.

 

[JustNatsuki]

it feels like the author doesnt know how to move the story forward without the 1950s jazz man

cant this manga have normal tropes for a second

Actually

Spoiler

He WAS getting haughty.
Although when he was gloating to his classmates he was using Earth's standard of flexing of '10 years too early (to challenge him)' it ends up sounding humble instead.

It's only after Amagi react to his "there's nothing to learn here" and call him out for getting too full of himself that he start to reflect.

Then to add extra nail on that coffin, during class the professor say that recklessly charging in (assuming a more or less equal forces) is something 'someone trying to be a hero' would do.
Which obviously got him triggered and he ask what would be the expected difference in force before going YOLO charge is a valid, not suicidal option.
Professor replies about 4 times.

Thus lead into his next desire of increasing his fleet size to the point where doing a charge won't be seen as 'heroic'

Yes, I cut on the explanation this time.

Cheating senpai hacked the simulator to know what ships MC would use and his formation, it would be like seeing through the fog of war in Warcraft/Age of Empires or having the positions of every boat of a rival in Battleship in clear view..
We can't tell how MC would have done without that cheat, as the Guide did tamper with the simulator to make MC win.

Even more than that; the simbattle looks more like Skirmish mode without base-building. That means pre-made ship loadouts and deployment via tokens. This is more like using fleets specialized in tanking laser damage against enemy fleet that using only laser weaponry. (many 4x games tend to categorize weaponry into Laser, Projectiles, and Missiles, for example. And you could counter hard.)


But yeah, even without interfering or cheating, Liam would naturally lose anyhow. He's is about using OP builds and skillful people. He isn't one for strategy or tactics.... yet.

I'm not sure about that, because all said and done Liam have actual experience, the cheating senpai knew the exact loadout he had to implement to win against MC fleet thanks to the hacking, hard to say how things would have gone if he had used a testbook squadron.
MC real battles are even greatly helped from the high quality of his ships and the subordinates, a simulator wouldn't count that, it would have been a truly neutral show of his ability.

Spoiler: raw spoiler

I gave a look at the coming chapters and the senpai was found out to have cheated a lot in past simulations and exams, so his actual skill is even lower than a normal student.

Is there a good novel translation of this series? If so what site can I find it on? I generally prefer audiobooks but I doubt this series would have one just yet, if ever.😞

When you win a cheater with cheats:

 

[RMXStudio]

Guide is such a good guy sniff

Right? Everyone, say "Thank you, Guide!" kekeke

 

[RMXStudio]

....you know the guide could have just helped him win with the existing cheats. Right now he's straight up helping MC and the payoff he's looking for is exactly the thing the backfired the last 5 times he tried.

Guide doesn't have a brain as a spiritual being, be patient with him.

 

[LarousseBR]

I rushed though all the chapters, the misunderstanding this manga have is abysmal. Liam is always though to be bad in reality he is a good and wise ruler but he doesn't see that.

Is he really in love with Rosetta or just wanted a tsundere turn into deredere?

Yeah, Guide shoulda just let Liam take an L for once but dumbass just keeps trying to piss off others so Liam can lose harder later.

...except the "lose harder later" part never happens.

I think he cares for her, but his upside-down perception is that she could never care for him (she does).

Even if she never loves him (in his mind) he would destroy the Empire to protect her.
