Took me a couple days but I finally finished the web edition with google translate. The story was even better than expected, and the GT wasn't that bad.

Spoiler for light spoilers about Rudy' skills:

To expand on Rudy's skillset. He remains a mediocre swordsman up til the end of the web novels, but he has a huge advantage. He is going to get a magic eye that can read the future a few seconds in advance. Its not all-powerful, but you can guess how useful it is. He also becomes a king-class water mage, and advanced/saint in pretty much everything else. That's not really a measure of his strength though. Even a simple frost nova of his was thought to be an emperor-class spell. The only thing keeping him from having a higher rank is that he doesn't care, and there are no higher magicians around to teach him. That training as a child really payed off. Oh, and this is by 18 years old.

Spoiler for @ amatsunagi:

It was kind of chilling when the future Rudy shows up at the end to tell him about the "human god" and the deaths of his girls. Not sure how he can get revenge on the human god for being such a dick though, since even the future badass version didn't know how to harm him even with 50 years of training.

Also, when you said it was a harem I was thinking of the usual hijinks. Instead he marries them all, polygamy ftw? Ellis is still off training, but she was his first so its pretty much guaranteed to become a wife in the future. I laughed when Rudy was planning his 3p with Sylphy and Roxy though. Its not an explicit story by any means, but I have to wonder how much of the story the publication will allow if it gets that far. .

Overall, I think some parts could be cut without missing much, but I liked the story a lot. Thanks for the rec. Now to wait for someone to pick this up for real.
