Set against the backdrop of the fierce war between the Katovana Empire and the Republic of Chioca, this fantasy war chronicle series tells the story of Ikuta, an unusual boy. Ikuta's strategic thinking extends beyond the battlefield to human relationships and political maneuvering. How he outmaneuvers his enemies while at the same time winning the trust of his peers is one of the most fascinating aspects of the story.
The theme of this book is the exploration of the question "What is talent and how should we use it?." How Ikuta's remarkable intellect and unique philosophy transform himself and his surroundings in the extreme conditions of war. The process is deeply thought-provoking.
First, Ikuta's character is portrayed as a brilliant strategist and a person with a deep understanding of human beings, despite his superficially lazy and womanly traits. This duality makes his seemingly contradictory traits emblematic of human complexity and their diverse abilities and values. This leads to the philosophical question of “people cannot understand one aspect ”.
Second, the war situation in the story highlights the social and political issues surrounding Ikuta and other characters. The irrationality of war, the personal choices made in it, and the ethical dilemmas are topics that have been debated by philosophers from all over the world, and this story may provide new insights into these issues of our time.
In addition, during Ikuta's development, she struggles with the gap between her “fame ” and her“ actual self ”. This illustrates the tension between “identity ” and“ recognition by others, ” and helps us confront the question of how to balance our social roles and expectations with our self-awareness.
When I read this book, I was particularly impressed by Ikuta's relationship with Yatrishino. It describes the subtle emotions that flow between the two of them, and how they are in a complicated position despite their deep understanding of each other. Ikuta's struggle to protect Yatrishino and to respect her own beliefs is by far the most moving part of the story.
Overall, I think that “Screw-up Shoryo Senki: Tenkyo no Alderamin ” is more than just a fantasy war chronicle. Ikuta's questions about what “talent ” is and how to make the most of it will stay with you long after you read it. The diversity and complexity of humanity that emerges through his setbacks and successes is what sets this story apart. In addition, the battle scenes that weave together calculated tactics and strategies to the smallest detail are overwhelming, and you won't be able to take your eyes off the thrilling developments.
Learning from the experiences of Ikuta and his colleagues made us think about how we should act in difficult situations and what we can learn from them.

An introduction to the series that has the potential to set up a great series.
Quite different to what I had anticipated from the anime trailer, this series instead focus more towards tactical warfare, in conjunction with a number of interesting characters.
Overall I thought this book was a great introduction and would recommend it to others due it's characters, well thought-out plot and dialogue.

This got a ton of recommendations but it was just weak, now part of that might of been the translation I read but even with a better translation I don't see higher than a 3/5 coming out of this.
