This novel can be summarized in one word: 'boring'. People might think that being a leafling, constantly evolving and slowly getting stronger is fun. Even I thought so at first and I admired the idea and the way the author wrote it, but as it progressed I realized that I didn't enjoy what I was reading at all.To me, this novel is just a copy of slime anime, the reincarnated slime Rimuru, except that Mc goes around training soldiers and playing sergeant. The difference is that he always trains leaflings with low IQ and shares the advantages and knowledge of his system with them. Other than that, it is a similar kingdom building novel.I don't know why it was fun for some people to see him training his little army down to the smallest detail, but for me it was not worth reading. In the same way, it is pointless to try to make another leafling as strong as him in every evolution. These are creatures at the bottom of the power ladder of the world background. You might think that the only advantage of training them would be long term loyalty but that is a big NO. As a former soldier or agent, Mc is too soft on them. In one chapter a leafling was kicking him in the face and he was just indifferent. At least if you are building your own army you have to make them fear and respect for you. It doesn't have to be all of them always like "Yes, Sir!" to you but what's the point if you don't want to keep them under your power and make them follow your orders?To me it was a boring MC. It's too early to talk about world building as the pace of the story is slow. But he and his 'cheat' are completely pointless. If at the end of the story a leafling who starts from the same level as him - from the bottom - will be at the same power level as him and be disrespectful to him, why should I read this sergeant role play novel ?
