This manga is like your typical Isekai story the MC dies and is resurrected in another world. The interesting part is the MC main ability is the appraisal to see everyone stats which help him build an army of strong individuals for a upcoming war. His main concern is that he knows he not strong compare to the people he his recruiting to his army and he afraid that one day they will betray him.

Overall this manga is interesting and it’s kinda different from other Isekai stories which I give it a 7 out of 10 which is not bad in my opinion. I do recommend this if my review help in any way, all this is from what I got by reading 5 chapters.

It's a fine Isekai if you want something to read quickly but while it has a fine concept in my opinion it doesn't lean hard enough into it to be interesting. "Level 1 dakedo Unique Skill de Saikyou desu" has a similar style minor superpower that the main character uses to great and interesting value. Considering how much mary-sue wish fulfillment that manga is it's one of the few thigns you can really say about it. "Sekai Saikou no Ansatsusha, Isekai Kizoku ni Tensei suru" is even closer to this in concept, (sub)genre and tone. But there the main character makes way more use of his Isekai power and the characterization feels stronger.

This manga has solid bones. An isekai power that has potential to be interesting without being so overpowered it's like "I Got a Cheat Skill in Another World and Became Unrivaled in The Real World, Too". The main character and see the character stat sheet. And as a kid who played games they know what the stats mean. Still there's room for more. The stats we find out don't tell the whole story. For one thing they don't tell Ars, the main character, WHY. Some of the states are genetic but some of them are personal like Ambition. Heck at one point we realize that some of the states don't necessarily mean what we think they mean. There's room to play with this skill. Room for Ars's skill to come into play. To use some sense of people to develop that parts he can't see. Or at least learn about them. But the manga doesn't really do anything with it. Heck at one point they introduce a character who they suggest has a similar power to the main character only they see different information. In another manga this would be the big bad enemy or something. Here there isn't even "or something". Then even as a power fantasy manga he doesn't use the power all that often. "Unique Skill" uses their gimmick all the time in fun and interesting ways. But here we have a character whose skill is collecting the best people and I can count the number of people they collect on one hand. Maybe they shouldn't have been an aristocrat. Maybe they should have been a pirate or a brigand or a thief something that needed a crew of the best of the best of the best. Instead he's an aristocrat and while it starts off interesting. He sees some homeless dude with a huge skill level and snaps him up. He sees a thief girl running from slavers and she's got a huge skill level. But Then after that it's mostly just using his power as a powerful person to ask people to suggest who would be good and then he uses his eye to confirm they are good. It becomes the one thing this genre should hate... boring.

The other way to go with a story like this is to use the Isekai power to explore the characters. It's not a power fantasy it's about a young prince who is actually a fully grown man in a young prince's body learning to cope with power. Again bones are tehre. I like Ars well enough. I like his crew well enough. But the pacing of the manga is just too fast for that kind of story. I mean there's war and tactics and strategy to lay out. There's a romance between Ars and his betrothed. There's petty jealosies that could flare up. After all just because three people are great warriors doesn't mean they get along. But we don't get to really chew on that. The world is well developed but we don't get to see it. So I guess the term wouldn't be developed but designed.

All together it's the Isekai that seven volumes in, leaves you wishing more happened.
