So I was really enjoying this story, after initially dropping it after ~5 chapters or so due to the main character being a complete moron but then giving it another chance. It was a good, fun, silly little kingdom building story. But then, in what is possibly the most impressive bit of self-sabotage ever witnessed, around 380 chapters in, the author decides to suddenly throw magic and gods into the story. Which takes the entire thing, all of everything that has been build and shown and said so far, and throws it in the garbage.
The magic and the gods completely and utterly ruin the entire thing, and make everything the main character has accomplished completely meaningless. Trains? Who cares, we've got magic now. Electricity? Who cares, we've got magic now. Science? Who cares, we've got magic now. The main character telling people time and time again that magic and gods aren't real and science is the only thing they need? Who cares, magic and gods are suddenly real now.
It is actually incredible to see an author who is so unbelievably stupid that they would destroy their own work like this, out of nowhere, over like two chapters. You gotta be a special type of a moron to do something like that. Just take the formula you had and that was working, then burn it down because you suddenly want to have magic. It's times like this when I wish I could just reach into my monitor and smack the author in the face for being a moron.
