Summary
A brief description of the manga Fun Territory Defense by the Optimistic Lord:
A man was reincarnated as Van, a boy of noble birth, who grew up to become a child prodigy through hard work. But when it was discovered that he possessed “production magic,” he was immediately relegated to a remote village.
However, his magic, which was called useless, turned out to be truly extraordinary, capable of producing anything as long as he had the right ingredients! With the knowledge from his previous life and the overpowered magic, the small, poor village will grow to become into a great city.

The anime is good but man do they seem to leave a lot of out of battles specifically, also this is one of the only mangas i know where the anime is ahead of the manga for some reason apparently it does happen sometimes though
The anime is nice, but the manga, a chapter monthly, and to make it look more they divide it in 2 or 3. No thanks.
The anime is too cute.
I hate split chapters and normally drop a series if they get some.
I love this Manga but the update time is extremely slow so I am dropping it
Thought you should know you have ch. 33.1 in between Ch. 32.2 and 32.3. Otherwise keep up the good work.
The translator is very lazy they are separating the chapter.
it’s almost two weeks no chapter yet
its good. Wurth your time to read. But it is really slow after you get passed chapter 20 ish. It comes with 1-2 chapters every secend month (more ore les) and the chapters are REALLY short. But, like i sed^ its good.
One of the greatest manga to ever exist, honestly this is a solid 10/10. MC’s personality, his butler and the building plot is all amazing.
Short review,
Interesting base story, not quite detailed story telling, jumping plots, minimum char build, lack of antagonist and tragedy, will be boring in long run.
Quite decent for light readers. 6/10
After reading 27.2 chapters, I can say its a lesser tier of very good rated manga! It is such a good manga, that it has no problems with excessive dialogue, moral issues, story jumping, does have a few flash backs or a dark / twisted plot. It could do with a touch more jokes to give you the chuckles more often and bring the pace of the events up for a touch quicker pace. This will push this manga into a higher tier very good manga. Unfortunately to step into the great ranking of manga it would need to change its easy going base from jovial to semi-serious with the addition of some suspense /thrill of bad ar*e fights. That I would not really like to see as it is a very good manga (lesser tier) but still very good. I am so confident in this manga, that I would not be surprised if there was not whispers of possible anime adaption for this IF it can improve a tad more, get a better following, keep the flow like this for longer content, etc, etc, etc (actually would not know what the hell a manga has to do to get an anime adaption to be honest, lol). Either way I will be keeping an eye out for this one to see how it progresses, definite book mark for me.
7/10
It’s a good manga. It’s wholesome and interesting, and the strategy and action were great. The characters felt like actual people, and the main character is understanding.
However, I do feel like this manga was ruined, or became less than what it could be, just by a few things.
First, the translation went from decent to bad to really bad, and then toward the end, it was fine. Good, even. Still, it was rather mind-boggling at times since I didn’t know who was who or what was what. Plus, I believe some of the chapters are missing some panels. (At least, that’s what the comments said.).
Second, the main character was in his 20s before he died but ended up reincarnating as a child, and I’m sure he will be around the same age throughout the novel. I dislike such a typical, overused plot since authors make it their mission to pair them up with actual children or people of age. No matter how you look at it, it’s just a terrible premise. Thankfully, in this manga, everything is kept wholesome and sweet, so it’s not as bad.
Finally, the speed at which the manga gets updated is terrible (not the author’s fault, I presume).
Anyway, with those complaints aside, the manga is a really good read to pass the time. If you have nothing else, it wouldn’t hurt to read and give your own opinion. Please don’t take what I said to deter you from the manga; you might find it to be great!
I found a genie lamp and made a wish, that more manga’s like this one would be produced. Until my wish comes true, I suppose I’ll just read this over and over again.


































He is too good and op as a lord, literally everything depends on him, his guards and military corps are only strong because of his weapons, and not just that, everything is only going good because of him, not the townspeople are useless and only expects more stuff from him. If by some reason he is gone for a long time or die, it will all collapse. Not a single thing will survive, not the weapon manufactoring, not the city building knowledge, not the soldiers, not the alliance, nothing, absolutely nothing. Look at tensei slime, everybody on rimuru’s country have a thing they can do and is good at, even if by some chance Rimuru is gone, they would still be one of the strongest country in that world.
