Synopsis
Dias finally returns home after decades of war. He's hailed a hero and promptly rewarded with his own domain...which turns out to be little more than empty plains. Population: zero. Dias, who has only ever known battle, finds himself at a loss. How is he supposed to survive, let alone cultivate his territory into a thriving, prosperous dominion when there's nothing but grass as far as he can see? Fortunately for Dias, a horned girl by the name of Alna is about to show him there's more to the plains than meets the eye! (Source: J-Novel Club)

@EcchiGodMamster Then you'll also have to consider slop a bunch of other genres, because 90% of anime is built on a formula that's traditional for its genre and audience.

I don't think this has Isekai or reincarnation

i never said anything about isekai or reincarnation lol... as long as its some OP loser in your typical medieval fantasy world full of bandits and goblins, more often than not, its still gonna be the same overly safe, copy paste slop

This looks interesting! By the way, I noticed that in the light novel entry, only the girl is tagged as the MAIN character. However, both the anime and manga list the guy as the main male protagonist. It seems obvious from the synopsis that he is a protagonist as well. Just out of curiosity, does the story differ between the light novel, manga, and anime? With one focuses on Dias as the main while the other put the whole focus on Alna maybe?

@EcchiGodMamster I don't think this has Isekai or reincarnation tag, and it seems from the description, he's building up a town or city with the help of the girl, so it should be safe. Also seems like he was a soldier or something rather than a guy taking on enemies by himself maybe?

Shiyon Wakayama is recently on the roll and is being casted in many roles. I especially like her performance as Lan Yan in Genshin Impact. She is so talented, so it's totally deserved, which is why I'm definitely gonna watch this one ass well.
Also, I might be racist but damn, this girl is cute. 😍
