This is a very enjoyable story.
I am only five chapters in (plan to read a lot more soon) but it already has basically everything I want in my slow life story:

First it is not an Isekai. I feel there are too many of them today so it is nice to have a full fantasy story.
Second the main character is strong but does not feel nor is stated to be overpowered so in the fight scenes there is still enough tension to keep it exciting.
The main character is stated to be "dumb" but he is not stupid. He is straight forward and tends to do some ... things with little thought but isn't so stupid that he constantly makes mistakes and is rational. Also with the above this keeps him from being too smart and therefore able to be tricked by antagonists making for a better story.
He is a lot older then most main characters in this genre so it is better for me who is in the same age range.
The female lead gets over any Tsundere stuff very quickly. Can't get into it too much with out spoilers but at first she was a little unlikeable but quickly became a favorite.
The art is great and makes a lot of funny gags and lots of meme material.
The story has only begun so I can't say too much but what little there is right now is very well thought out and draws you in well.

Overall this is a great story 9/10. I recommend it.

I did it. I found another!

I DID IT!! YESSSSSSSSSSSSSS!

The protagonist is:
- Middle-aged, no high-schooler nonsense
- Retarded and kind, the perfect himbo
- Upstanding person with good morals

I was just about to drop this when he got a 15-year old ogre-girl as a wife, until the man sat down and started planning how long he'd have to wait until she was 18. This guy is too good for this genre I swear.
...
Anyhow, this is a super wholesome story. It's not an isekai, the characters are great and everything is just fantastic. I love it. Only bad thing from an objective standpoint is how simple the story is, but I just can't fault it. It keeps things fresh and wholesome at all times. WOULD RECOMMEND!

Hero of a war gets dumped in a grassland domain and left to fend for himself as it's lord without a single subject to help him

Pro:
Really fun story
Interesting if tropey characters
Equal opportunity fanservice
Interesting political plot in the later volumes
Dias is best himbo
Dias can absolutely wreck anything in his path and it's really interesting
Interesting magical system where there's a genuine difference between magical and non magical people
...
Cons
Really slow in the time progression
They really play up the "Alna is 15" angle sometimes, and even though Dias is absolutely not doing anything inappropriate with her until she's of age and keeps affirming this it's still annoying. Seriously there's no real OOC reason for her to be that age
They sometimes do this thing where they split the pages into top half and bottom half with two separate plots and it's really fucking annoying to read
Dias can absolutely wreck anything in his path and after you realise this, it eliminates all tension from any battle scene he's in. Thankfully they author realises this and doesn't put him in many

Solid 7.5/10 would be an 8.5 but the stuff with Alna is just really wierd without any adequately explained OOC reason. IC makes perfect sense, and it's good that Dias keeps up the "Not even thinking of her in that way until she's 18", but it still leaves a bad taste
