The story is very strong technically in my opinion, although I really don't care about typos or minor mistakes here or there as long as they don't create confusion, ambiguity or waste too much of my time. The plot is quite imaginative and silly at times while the story has little suspense and often goes into a high level of detail.
I love a good power fantasy story as long as it doesn't get out of hand and has a bit striving, tension and uncertainty. Unfortunately, everything comes very easy for the MC as he easily crushes or sways all men in his path and easily seduces all women. It might be more accurate to say his wives are the ones doing the seducing more often than not and it's more of a power fantasy for them than it is for the MC as they effortlessly seduce and have sex with any girl who catches either his or their eyes.
The MC is a Wimp Husband (not tagged in the story description unfortunately!) who dutifully keeps his balls tucked in his wife's purse and does whatever she says. He also carefully keeps his dick tucked away when he's away from home, but his wife doesn't feel the need to remain loyal to him. He comes home from a long brutal trip, shortly after his lord and father are murdered, to find his wife Cheating (untagged!) on him with her best friend and his sister. Rather than be upset with the infidelity he eagerly apologizes profusely like a good little Cuckhold (untagged!) and leaves so they can keep having sex with each other. She didn't realize how much of a cuckhold he is so she got worried that he would rightfully ask for a divorce and have her excommunicated so she then tried to give a tearful apology. He then falls over himself to let her know how happy he is about her cheating and that she can do it whenever she wants. From there his wife continues to build her harem (of which he is a part) for the rest of the story.
From that point on his wives and slaves have sex with each other every chance they get (almost seemingly nonstop, all hours of the night and long after he falls asleep - on the rare chance he is actually at home) and don't seem to care whether he is involved or not. His wives lay around and fuck each other with strapons all the time while he is out at war, injured or otherwise hard at work gaining money, land and additional lesbians for them to have sex with.
It's common knowledge that all women were lesbians in medieval times and had nonstop sex with each other using strapons, right? The women don't bother to limit the lesbian orgies to themselves though, as we all know that homosexuality and cheating on a husband (extra-marital sex) was totally acceptable in the eyes of the church (and society in general) in the 13th century.
If you like over the top power fantasies, a cuckhold wimp husband and a magical world where all women are lesbians (who have sex with their husband on rare occasions in order to maintain their extravagant and hedonistic lifestyle) then I think you will greatly enjoy this story. I'm being a bit harsh with this story, but I never would've read it if it showed Wimp Husband, Cuckhold and Cheating tags like it should. If you are into this genre and these kinks then I strongly recommend this story.

I really liked this story. It starts with the hero a young son of the guard captain for the Earl of Lancaster. It ends with him the ruler of much of the known world. How he gets there and the many beautiful women he marries or adds as concubines to his household fill up the story. Some military action, some diplomacy, some invention, and a lot of building cover most of the story. There is adequate character development and pretty much never a dull moment. I recommend other stories by this author as well. The history in the story is not like our history, which seems like a shame.
There is a lot of plot, but I didn't give it a ten as there are not a lot of surprises. The hero goes from success to success with very few challenges he does not overcome in the next couple of pages. "The difficult we do immediately, the impossible will take a little longer." I did not see any technical quality issues. Does a Korean inventing movable type for printing count? I voted this a nine, great, and I am going to stick with that. Some reviewers seem to give mostly 10s. They think differently than I do, and that's fine. I am looking for stories to recommend, not ones that are perfect.
