Btw, this novel also presents these questions : 1. Is worshipping holy statues actually idolatry? 2. Is child of God a God or human? 3. If everyone is equal then why clergymen have ranks? Interesting~

^ You can't really have a real middle age (well this is before that, but even so) fantasy without church playing some role and when you have the MC being an emperor the religion just will play some part.
^^ Nothing new for Europeans though. You can easily see different views between Christianity (especially Catholic, though most of the other surviving are similar) and Islam which btw. in this series is characterized just as one of the types of Christianity. |

^ Except he also allowed propagation of those religions to other people, Islam not only forbids that, it even has high (was it death?) punishments for conversion from Islam to anything else, also Muslim woman can't marry anyone of different religion (so in long run the other religions are bound to dwindle down anyway).
Also doesn't Islam forbid holy statues? But yeah, the increased tax not only increases the income of the state, it also causes the religions to slowly dwindle down without having to deal with some rebellions or such things. |

^Yes, Islam is more strict, and forbid holy statues
MC's Messiah Religion is more attractive It doesn't prevent people from conversing to other religions, yes But why would anyone convert when you are gonna be imposed with heavy taxes

also, in Islam everyone is equal and there is no clergyman or something like that, and the best thing is you can had a Harem (although 4 is maximal) and yes Islam is strict but please dont judge Islam by ISIS, because they dont represent Islam even many Muslim that hate them.

^The heretics tax is heavier
No countries in the world adopt 100% religion laws, never in history So country laws essentially = religion laws That is cleverly shown in this novel Same religion, but when war broke up the country, each fragmented part began to diverge to sects There is one that is considered Orthodox but even that is no longer completely the same with the original

I dont know based on what you said that, but in the original, it is not. it depend on how much your wealth is. so it is the same.

Finally finish volume 1, i think i have a mix feeling about MC, everything went out as he planned too much.
I wish there is someone that manage to make MC "lose" for real or put him into disadvantage situation and make MC realize that sometime not everything always goes the way he planned. It would be great if that person is heroine, no doubt she will be a best girl and make stories more interesting. Right now MC's fiancee is kinda..bland TBH. |

^ Agreed. For the time being there is nothing bad to point out about the country management aspect (naisei). That's really rare. No technology impossible by the time's standards (machineguns creation by hammer and I guess bronze, really?), no ridiculous results (introducing three field system and getting great results the same year) and no ridiculous turns. Things seem to take some time and not happen in one month as in other series and it deftly uses the +100 years the elven lifespan allows.
And to that all, it's addictively fun to read and for the time being getting an update every 2 days. |

^Yup, really smart novel
No instant solution The ration problem was presented like 20 chapters ago and it's still being considered regarding the best solution The religion part also being taken seriously In other novels, religious people are being brushed aside as maniacs or simply has nothing to do with MC Yea, the lifespan passage will be used effectively I think too Unlike Yaritsukai which has immortal MC but only 1+ year has passed, like what's even the point But one concern is what about non-elf heroines? Will they die midway? Btw, author confirmed that the maid MC boinked will appear in Arc 3
