I'm a Noble on the Brink of Ruin, So I Might as Well Try Mastering Magic (TV).

Speaking of Touya from Smartphone: he seems like a slow slacker compared to Mastering Magic. Episode 4 had Liam not only start a new nation but he has become even more overpowered (teleport, summoning dragons etc) and can create familiars thus evolving them species wise at the same time.

Not sure why I am still watching it but it amuses me in just how much godly luck is bestowed upon the mc.

I am solely looking at the speed with which Liam is gaining power and allies. Touya from Smartphone was very fast in that regard but Liam is something else. With episode 6 the demi-human country has gained gigas (evolved giants), has outfitted some of their army with overpowered magic armor and due to training even the supposedly weak elves can manhandle humans now.

Ep6- The way the show is progressing, I think my earlier "skating" analogy is seeming more apt each episode. Liam just tries whatever because of the worry du jour, and after no discernable effort or time he succeeds, things are all better and his fangirls just love him more. The plot progression feels like ice-skating, push a little at intervals and coast for a while in-between. Now, I sort of like the show in a similar way to cotton candy, looks nice, tastes nice without the weight of plot substance so one can just keep nibbling at it without worrying about gaining weight (thinking) but ultimately not very satisfying. I thought Liam's brother would add an interesting dramatic element but I think that is long forgotten...

Well, I stand somewhat corrected. The vampire threat was by no means some deperate struggle for survival but it did force Liam to think creatively and not rely on spamming magic missiles. The dust box spell is also real handy and I can see how one could make a lot of money with that one.
