The story is pretty straight forward isekai, the protagonist gets summoned to a fantasy world, where he is requested to save the Kingdom he is summoned from impending doom, and pretty usually for all heroes who are summoned in these types of settings, he gains a magical skill. But unusually, in his case, it was a dark attribute one called Living Poltergeist, which has pretty limited usability in Combat, except for administrative purposes, which he has a knack for since he was a university student in Social Economics, so from a hero, he becomes a King.

Later you learn the true reason he was summoned, it was due to a faulty treaty the Kingdom was forced upon, which put them in an Economic trap and being a "realist", he immediately sets the kingdom on the road to economic recovery and reforms, while at the same time taking care of civic unrest and an uprising that was brooming, which would impede unification and stunt the potential economic and social growth of the Kingdom.

From there on, he begins to tackle external threats to the Kingdom, like other Empires and the overlaying threat to all Humanity at the setting, which would be the Demons.

The start is crap. Keep reading as it is very entertaining.

After a bad start, where the MC is summoned and he's given the throne by a king that acts like a 10 year old retard (when he's supposed to be a wise king), it's needless to say I had very low expectations of what was to come, yet that's where the convenient stupidity ended. I have to say this is a quite interesting manga, it's a more mature take on the isekai genre while still having many features of a shounen manga.
In any case, there are no power ups, no hero BS, no OP skills and so on, the MC is a very intelligent and knowledgeable (a bit too much imo) guy that after being summoned decides to do his best with the hand dealt to him and starts with reforms and so on. Basically an Earthling ruling an Isekai kingdom and the author makes it work out well enough.

The manga has little comedy and takes itself seriously, it's so far somewhat entertaining and has some action but few fights per se, still, it's interesting seeing the MC using his earth knowledge in the isekai, this is of course nothing new and has been done many time yet it's mostly well told and presented which is always welcome. Furthermore, except for how voluptuous the female bodies are it keeps the fanservice to a minimum, and the harem is not the over the top annoying kind, it's kept civil with no childishness nor pettiness; I'm so fed up with the harem genre that a reprieve is welcome.

So yeah, probably not for everyone but I welcome the more serious and mature approach, making it more "realistic" and thus believable and immersive.
