The real draws of the story are Aura's politicking, her evolving relationship with Zenjirou, and how Zenjirou's common knowledge of modern day Earth influences the development of Aura's world.

Hopefully the next chapter will have some actual story, and not just be about Zenjirou setting up his appliances in Aura's Palace.

Somehow I seriously doubt that much will happen though.

It will SURELY have him setting it up... what we can hope is that the process doesn't take more than half the chapter ^^'

the concept of this LN is surely refreshing... up to chapter 2 I was totally drawn in... but that chapter full of redundant explanation really killed the momentum a lot...

Still pretty interesting and I'm eager to see if that was only a slip on the author side or will be the trend every time something from our world is introduced... (just to be clear... giving an explanation of what and why it is being introduced is good... going in depth on how it can change things is also REALLY good... but this time it was just a redudant description... he thinking... he thinking... he thinking again... that he getting it... and he explaining once again why he chose that...)

Well, it was bad in the beginning since that "reality" isn't what we wanted or expected. Even if it happens later it will at least be in the new world & it's part of the world building as we the readers also learn alongside the MC (hopefully).

Also while such elements were in Spice & Wolf, at least there the constant witty remarks & flirting between Horo & Laurence in between the expositions were nicely done that you were absorbing it at a nice pace as well as getting amused at the interactions between the two.

Yes, I did enjoy Spice & Wolf, and yes I loved the ending as well. For me, it was a fun journey & a satisfying end).

The Queen certainly won't marry someone else. The very reason why she looked for her husband in a different world is because if she had married someone from her own due to the patriarchic nature of her kingdom she would have ended as a mere ornament on his arm without any real power. Moreover while people expect a powerful man to have a concubine or two a woman certainly can't do the same.

[VooXoo]

A queen with a harem is totally normal in certain countries but thankfully is not in this one.
This is a country with a tradition of kings commanding and seems like the previous queens never done anything too great or too little, they simple toke the baton and then passed it.
Aura is not like them, she wants to reorganize the country after the war, she rightly thinks a husband from her world would take all the power and screw up the country in its already weak state, but she was forced to take one and in desperation decided to bet on the runaway ancestors.

[Lazaroth]

So, this story will lead mc to become :-

a) politician
b) hero
c) wise king
d) scientiest
e) engineer
f) magician/wizard
g) god
h) royal breeder
i) good husband
j) hikikomori king

One strange thing about that world is that royalty seems to be monogamous - if the more magicians you have the stronger the country, and magic is originating from bloodlines, you don't want to turn into Hapsburgs - you want harems.
It's the same problem that bothered me in Mahouka.

That actually isn't true. The Inner Sanctum that Zenjirou lives in was built to house the previous kings' concubines (Normally other men older than the age of five aren't even allowed in), so harems for royalty are perfectly normal in this world.

He starts learning magic for the sake of using his bloodline's space-time power after he's lived there for a little while, but don't expect results anytime soon. It usually takes about three years for a person to be able to use magic freely after they start training and Zenjirou isn't the cheat type of character that levels up abnormally fast.

He does have a "head of branch family" level of space&time magic.

AFAIK, he uses it to

Spoiler:

repair his broken things. Although it works best on what is accidentally broken and not on things that suffer from wear&tear, since the power is not that strong.

[Lazaroth]

Beside mc, are there other person being summoned?

[VooXoo]

I have a suspect the female cousin could appear in future.

[bearzerger]

Wasn't it said that the stellar configuration didn't allow for traveling to the mc's world for thirty years? Unless there's some ancient artifact I don't see how any of the mc's family to show up.

So is that the limit of his power or he needs further training

I think that the right conditions reduce mana expense by a lot so it is best to do at these times. You can still try other times but it will be way harder.

[SinsI]

They might have more worlds to summon from, with only a few being close to their plane at a time.
This might also be the way to overcome the constellation limit - instead of moving directly to Earth, they can jump to another world that is closer, and move to Earth from there.
