Royal domain will expand. I would assume monarchs had to delegate management of some of their land to beauracrats if their demesne was large enough. What kept such people from building their own power base, at least in the case of European style monarchies?

As far as they live in place without any civilization, with absurdly powerful monsters surrounding them. Brainwashing people with over the top patriotism probably keeps people from deserting.

To be fair, this is also a guy who ruined his future. Don't you think he might be a little bit biased, wouldn't you be?
Zuo Haoran was to receive his sentence in the military court, but since he had already betrayed his people once, he decided to go all out on it. He betrayed Dragon City and joined the foreign race. He sold them Earth's secrets!

Rule 1 of teaching: Don't project killing intent on students. It's just not conducive to teaching.
He held the monster's skull in one hand, and while his tone was calm, it was full of killing intent.

That one nation fell to empire in a week. A week! I'm curious how it happened. Numerical superiority or not, I would guess mobilizing an army takes a while.

It's said her county joining either faction that borders her won't make huge difference either way. Is the power disparity between the dukes and counts really that significant. Alternatively is it because there a lot of counts who are already aligned with them?

Still better than being a commoner probably. Then again, you become marriage bargaining piece, as a commoner you at least don't have deal with that.

Figured he would have married Burgess' daughter, but I guess that would make things too easy.

One again empire or kingdom?
While he was glad that the land would no longer fall into Earl Blake's hands, he was afraid that the Marquess would align with whichever faction she had escaped to. And he knew that this news was old. He did not get rumours easily, even in the most prosperous city in the empire. The merchants had to leave the capital, and to do that they had to go through multiple territories to leave Fiveria. If they were smart they would align themselves with one of the powerful noble factions, not a powerless king.

The story hooked me well enough with some humor in the earlier chapters. I may amend or add detail to the review as time progresses. I dislike time loops as a story concept, cardinal sin after Mother of Learning blew up I know, but I tried this story anyways and was not disappointed. Although I disliked Blessed Time, this story made me consider giving MoL another shot at some point in the future, even though initial chapters did not hook me. There's a decent amount of worldbuilding being done to distinguish the setting from a more generic medieval fantasy, which is always a plus. The eponymous (correct use of the word?) spellbook and the way our MC utilizes it keeps the story interesting as well. Even some of the functions which seem remarkably mundane to us readers really help Tal in the loops. The amount of exposition on both the magic system and the world's history are just about right, we're not left in the dark but not bombarded with info either. I encourage people to try it.
