When civil engineering student Suho Kim falls asleep reading a fantasy novel, he wakes up as a character in the book! Suho is now in the body of Lloyd Frontera, a lazy noble who loves to drink, and whose family is in a mountain of debt. Using his engineering knowledge, Suho designs inventions to avert the terrible future that lies in wait for him. With the help of a giant hamster, a knight, and the world’s magic, can Suho dig his new family out of debt and build a better future?

Chapter One
Introduction chapter. Looks like we're getting introduced to the main character and how he came to be in the world of the book Knight of Blood and Iron.
I feel him, waking up face down in the dirt isn't how I'd want to begin a new adventure. Not gonna lie, this main character's sense of humor bodes well for me enjoying the novel long-term. Not sure why the character design for Javier, the protagonist, reminds me of the eldest son of the Silva family, Nozel.
Kind of surprising to see the main character's mom doesn't embody the typical aristocrat.
Ah yes, drunkard and scum, the two most OP skills ever in a RPG. What kind of RP point progression system is that?
--
Chapter Two
The faces the MC makes when he tries to do something nice completely defeat any positive effect the action might have generated. It's like those classic trolling characters who say something nice while scrunching their face up in disgust at the same time.
At least he knows that he's activated the system and has a metric for how to earn points.
Our first reaction/emoji. If you guys find something you think would make a good emoji or reaction to use, let me know and I'll make it into one.
Ah yes, the classic conman tactic, lure someone stronger to do all the work for you so don't have to.
The father appears.

Chapter Three
The dad calls him out, chastising him and at the same time questioning the reasoning behind his motives. Can't say I blame him. His son beforehand has been nothing but a drunkard, prone to fits of destruction that have disenfranchised him to the townsfolk.
It seems that his own family suffered similar financial hardships and he regretted not giving voice to the thoughts he had inside him and his father passed away from the stress or some other reason related to it.
Meatloaf? Really? That's the best fantasy character name for a moneylender you can think of author?
The system is self-aware? Interesting. Is it really a system or a deity playing games with people.
And the system has insulted him...I'm dying.
Interesting, the skills he can develop and progress are based loosely around the knowledge he had from his life in the real world.
Meatloaf be trying to get the Baron to sell his wife and the ladies to a brothel, not only does he have the name of a sleaze, he is one apparently. Interesting, so there are benefits to him having read the novel and knowing the contents of the story going forward. Looking forward to the next chapter and seeing what kind of summon he gets.

Chapter Four
Here we go. Where it stops...no one knows.
It summoned a hamster?
Interesting. It's not quite a backhoe or a bulldozer but an animal equivalent of both. He seems to be enjoying manipulating the men of his new family's household and with his knowledge of the story going forward, he knows who is going to betray them, thus he can trim the rot before it takes root and corrupts the whole tree.

Chapter Five
One month to learn all the skills, tricks and ins and outs of sword-fighting. Not a bad idea to have Sir Javier train him. Dang, savage dissing on his master's son. I can't blame him though, if the way his charge had acted in the past was the foundation for his future, giving him the skills to fight with a sword, would more than likely lead to him causing more harm to innocent people.
Dang, putting the near sword master to sleep by reading him textbook materials.
That chief knight's plan is going to go how he wants....not.
Fighting with a fucking shovel in a duel?!? I thought I saw everything.
--
Chapter Six
His father thinks he was joking because he's fighting a well known and respected knight with...a shovel. I don't think I can blame him. I would probably think the same, all things considered. Though, Sir Javier seems to believe he has changed and his training revealed he wasn't joking.
Interesting. Merging bayonet training with the sword training skills he learned from Javier is something I hadn't expected.
Ah, makes sense. If you get a stat boost while wielding a shovel, of course you'd hold one.
Winning the duel is one thing but savagely beating the loser is a whole other level of chaos.
--
Chapter Seven
Sir Javier seems to have caught on to the plan or at least the intentional strikes against the corrupt knight. Ooh, clever. Lure the knight with a promise to help him perfect his technique in exchange for lessons in the technique. Not a bad way of explaining things. Makes sense to me.
Interesting. It certainly seems like a easier method to learn a new technique. Reduce it down to the bare minimum necessary to accomplish your objective.
Oops, busted.

Chapter Eight
Why yes, no one would suspect someone who claims studying as the sudden origin of vast knowledge in a short time span. But it seems to have worked...for now. He also spun the topic around in a clever enough way to subtly hint at being a drunkard and a genius.
Ooh, he used the manaheart to negate the gravitational magic...interesting..
The mercenary after his cheap spell doesn't work..
Though, I'm not sure why our MC would stop Javier from killing/maiming the conman....unless he has a plan to use him himself.

Chapter Nine
Savage. Manipulating the poor swindler into signing the next 500+ years of his life away. And he just continues to prove how shifty he is. Every time it seems like he is doing something for the good of his people, he turns around and proves why they shouldn't trust him.
Interesting. A new enemy appears. Figured we'd have to have one eventually to keep things interesting.

Chapter Ten
The man now can see through rock. He could make tons of money by using that skill to mine for gold. Another random summon game results in him summoning a...*checks again*....yep, a snake, that eats rock.
I swear it can't be any more ridiculous than it sounds.
Giant ants attack.
Yeah, carrying a flaming torch into a mine filled with coal sounds smart.
That never ends badly.
