Enjoyable story, currently it's not rushed, although he seem's to be collecting a bit of a harem - but more in the line of using it to establish connection's or use someone's skills than the generic Chinese catch-em-all crap that appears in most novels.
Not too bad so far, looking forward to the fact that the harem isn't a significant part of the story like most of the otaku trash harem fantasy stories out there. To the other reviewers, there's too many harem novels out there now, to the point it's hard to find a good story without it being taken over by a harem storyline.
Enjoyable story of a rising war lord. Translation is still a bit rough; and can be hard to follow who is who if you don't already have some awareness of this time of history.
