There's a Chinese translation of this novel up to volume 2 out there that you can read through Google translate but it hasn't updated in a while. Volume 2 goes up to Dong Bais retreat/abandonment of Luo Yang.

Also we meet the child emperor and he really wants Dong Bai as his empress lol.

Sad that the loli must go now. Especially sad that people are saying the LN was abandoned.
No demon king lolis,
So trash then? If i'm not wrong then there's no loli at all. Oh and of course the default problem of official translation, with every volume taking half a year to be released in english.

abandoning a story like this should be a crime, especially with the entire series of pure trash that run for above 60 chapters

No more Namonashi's msgk loli, I already in withdrawal syndrome 😭😭😭

If you like kingdom building and intrigue try Wortenia Senki.

No demon king lolis, but for some that may be a plus, either way a good read if you feel cheated out of a good story (I know I do).

There's a lot of things that I really hate about that story but the thing that I hated the most is probably how the story is very standard self-insert manhwa op protagonist and how he seemed to never had any difficulties.

Look, as much as I hate appraisal lord (Ars), they still have moment where they got outplayed by their enemy and even if they managed to outmaneuver the outplay, it was through the combined efforts of his vassals, far as I know Ars only ever outplayed enemy once directly. But Ryouma? Mf was a mere high school boy and somehow outplayed the entire world and managed to develop a totally wild territory (literally no town) into an advanced territory. Sure his vassals help but 90% of it was his idea and commands. He just never seems to have any hardship as it was solved by his idea alone.

Contrast it with Dong Bai, unlike Ryouma, she is very fragile and totally cannot fight herself. Her most capable retainer is her bodyguard and she isn't that good at using her head. She also approached a lot of dangerous situations yet she didn't really waltz through it, there are some situations where she was only saved through luck like this one with Guan Yu's appearance, but because she was seen laid down the groundwork, it felt less plot armor-ish. It makes the story much more dynamic and make you look forward whether or not she would be succesful. In comparison Ryouma will always be succesful so the only thing you look forward is how much carnage he caused, which for some people is probably the thing they liked, but for me, I just can't like it.

You reminded me of an even better recommendation. Apocalypse Bringer Mynogrha.

More or less addresses your critique of Wortenia, and has two lolis, if you're into that.

dang a shame for this to get axed considering its intrigue. I couldn't quite tell who Diao Chan transformed into with her silhouette but I'd have like to keep keep reading so its a shame.

Such a shame this got axed. It was very unique. Thanks for the translation and upload.

I couldn't stand that one. It focuses way too much on fictional game mechanics and the explanation of them. Because of that there are too many exposition dumps and asspulls that are explained simply with flawed gameplay logic.

Mangaka obviously wanted to create a story for a civilisation type game instead of a story for a manga.

I like this manga because it's like watching someone play ROTK or Total War Three Kingdoms with the weakest character in a scenario that is very difficult to be a mediocre player. Too bad this manga was removed.

Also, the weird plot twist about Liu Bei and Guan Yu being the same person.
If we're going by the original novel, the baby tossing isn't going to be the problem here. It's going to be when Sun Quan chops off Guan Yu's head when Shu lost Jing while Liu Bei is over in Chengdu ruling Shu. Literally two places at the same time, lmao.

Also might wanna try looking for the novel sometime. This seemed like it was going places...
