As a Reincarnated Aristocrat, I'll Use My Appraisal Skill to Rise in the World 5 (light novel)

The hit light novel series with over 30 million online views in Japan, now with an anime to premiere in 2024!

Ars Louvent, petty lord and former Japanese businessman, hasn’t been reincarnated into the easiest of circumstances. He’s not much of a strategist and certainly isn’t a fighter, but he does have one trick up his sleeve: a skill called Appraisal, which he uses to gather a host of capable retainers from all walks of life to aid and protect him!

After successfully fending off a massive invasion of his territory, Ars has two objectives: clean up the mess left in the war’s aftermath and find even more talented individuals to bring to his side! There’s nobody who Ars won’t consider as a potential retainer—not even former foes—but when he meets a mysterious trio with a seemingly colorful history, he might just find his most unlikely allies yet. Who could they be, and what influence will they have on Ars and his rapidly-growing county?
