BRAINS OVER BRAWN
A salaryman suffers a heart attack and is reborn in another world as Ars Louvent, the child of an aristocratic house. Though lacking in physical strength, Ars has a unique "appraisal" skill that lets him see other people's stats and latent abilities. He puts this skill to the test by discovering a downtrodden young man with fearsome blade skills and a street urchin with a knack for magic. Has Ars found the diamonds in the rough that will help him secure his family's fortunes?

I don't understand why people like this so much. The MC doesn't even really use the Appraisal skill in the later volumes. It's incredibly generic and stops being an isekai story quite quickly. It transitions into a shoddy political work where everyone just goes along with whatever the MC's camp says... for reasons...?
The MC pretty much immediately forgets he's a 40 year old salaryman, mentally-speaking, and weds a child. Dude is completely incompetent and relies on Appraisal to hard-carry him through vassal picks. They mentioned vassals could betray him and there has yet to be even an inkling of disloyalty. They're all gung-ho for Ars, who doesn't even really do much but sit in a chair and call himself a lord. The most that the MC does in this manga is react with a silly face to what everyone else is doing.
I kept reading for a bit because it's just so bad... can't go further than Volume 7. I can't believe stories like this get to run for such a long time when better quality works get axed on the first volume.

It's a common trope in isekai for slavery to be heavily involved in the world, and even if the protagonist doesn't agree with it they still kind of ignore it and work with the system - though Ars' ultimate goal does lead towards abolishing slavery (though this is never explicitly stated at least in the first volume, it's a natural conclusion to what he wants), I'm still a little unsure on the representation thus far, especially as it is a noble kid who seems to be collecting the poor, the discriminated against and previous slaves and essentially they kind of hero worship him.

Vassal recruiting isekai
A salary man reincarnates as an aristocrat with the ability to see people's stats. Anticipating the empire's future turmoil, he sets about recruiting capable people to help him create an ideal domain. The characters were cute with some feels finding talent in strange places and gaining their loyalty. I don't mind isekai stories, but I would have liked his appraisal ability to be a little less game-like.

Interesting story, interesting characters
I enjoyed the story, but it's a bit predictable so far. The first volume is good, but not enough for me to buy the next volume, cuz I can pretty much guess what happens in at least the first part due to the standard cliffhanger at the end.

Well, I found out the new 2023 Kodansha light novel was good. It's in English and the stories was good this far.
This series about war and the appraisal skill by the main character. With this appraisal skill, he could have many good retainers. As the title said, he would climb the social leader by using this skill.

Has potential
Started out like your run of the mill isekai, but had more of a tactical stand point then others. So it had the potential to be really good. The first book itself is good enough to catch my interest to keep going.

I love the idea for this manga. Ars is naive, but it makes for a significant point, and I'm excited to read more to see his development. A fantastic first volume. It's great for teen manga collections.

This was great fun! As silly as it was, I really enjoyed watching Ars draw others closer to him by virtue of his kindness. It was also fun to watch Ars' companions show off their skills and show why they were so highly rated.

As a fan of the anime...
I'm a big fan of the anime that is currently airing. If you're also a fan and watching it, this one lines up with the first 2ish episodes. You recruit in your first character and almost finished recruiting your second character.

Funny, easy, light-hearted manga. It has fantasy, adventure, and a lot of humour packed in just the first volume. I can't wait to see what else will happen in the next volumes.
I definitely recommend this if you're into fantasy and want to get into manga!

Cute version of a isekai story that is linking characters abilities and how they effect the world around them including limitations

The focus on the appraisal skill is interesting since it focuses on his relationships and building up support rather than just turning himself OP.

This one was a lot of fun! I like seeing him slowly build his band up from the ground floor. He’s also a very cute 3yo and I like that he’s so earnest.

The artwork isn't as nice as the anime or light novel versions.
