Imagine this getting an adaptation and not Hakomari. Eiji must be shitting himself.
Easy money, I guess. Hakomari is good, but maybe it doesn't have as much appeal as an Isekai. Despite many people growing tired of it, Isekai does have a huge audience. That's why the industry can keep milking these stories non-stop.

Well, at least this one is an isekai from another planet than Earth, and his life and the memories before are usefull in his new life unlike 99,99% of other isekai.

Don't take this wrong, I'm not trying to pick a fight. I'm genuinely curious since I forgot a lot of stuff. How exactly his memories(not his skill) are useful? To be more precise, how exactly it is more useful than in majority of isekais?

He was a soldier in his past life, he trains the goblins (and later other races) with a military structure, he later started to create artefact with his previous memories, like bath, electricity system, car(somehow?)

Well, based on everything I remember from both novel and manga, he barely applied any of his knowledge. He was a soldier, yes, but military structure was superficial at best, and used mostly for edgy names. As for artifacts, instead of using modern knowledge he relied on magic. I can agree that he used magic in a new way, like making a walkie-talkie(phone?) by using earcuffs, but apart from this, I can't remember something really new and groundbreaking.

So I don't know about him using modern knowledge. I understand that some isekais don't have even this, but I don't know. It doesn't feel right for me to say he used the knowledge of his past life, especially when I compare it with works where characters at least try to use modern knowledge.

It was later when he use magic and blacksmith to craft something who are "modern", and I know there other isekai who did it, but there just too few of them and that incredible, cause except the different point of view of their mc which are most of time naive, what the point of them be isekai?

Well, again it's magic and blacksmith. Too much focus on his skills, because they are too OP. I can't say that he used "modern" knowledge. He reacreates modern conveniences with magic and his skills, and I think it's not the same.

Yes, the focus on his skills become a burden later, and yes he just recreates modern knowledge throught it, so it may not count for you. It's the previous reincarnated who created some of the modern knowledge in this world without the use of magic in it (something like 50/100 years before Rou reincarnate there).

I don't think previous reincarnated people counts. As for your previous point, I am wrong, and you are right. Does he use modern knowledge? He does. But he does it in a way I don't like, so I am prejudiced, and try to disprove it. Anyway, it's a me thing, I was wrong.

Doesn't change the fact it's a very bad novel... Deal with it!

True. You can like whatever you want.

I know it's poorly written (or maybe translated?) but it's after I read the manga that I began to read novel to know what happen later in the story, and sadly, that when I realise that most manga are poorly adaptated with missing part, like in this one too.

The first war between goblins and humans in the forest was not showed like in the novel, we didn't even see the best fight in it, which are in the point of view of Therese East Eckermann when she face Rou(the MC) with her whole team.

If the animation is well made and they make some adjust due to the story be a diary, it could be great, at least you won't have a virgin guys isekaied who are affraid to touch a woman despite having an army following him or being afraid to kill someone due to "this is bad in my world".

There some part of the story who are great for me, like for exemple, the whole evolutions tree if you didn't take into consideration that gobelin can evolve in all those things.
I think that's a normal problem and that's the reason I don't watch anime anymore. I think he is a thousand times better than most stereotypical isekai characters. I would read this story definetly in comparison to other isekais, but that's probably my evil bias.

Easy money and reliable market, yeah. No one likes taking risks anymore.

it goes a bit too full retard when it comes to humans. he goes from an arogant king of his own nation, enemy of humanity to an adventure doing escort missions, saving random princesses in distress.

and he sends his minions to farm human controlled dungeons.

also theirs the whole thing about using aphros to justify the abuse of the human slaves instead of just abusing the slaves
