Cool world and interesting setting. I'm not really feeling the MC so far though. He wants to try and conquer the world again, but like, why? Sounded like they were the bad guys, so why should we care? Sure, it'a a cyberpunky world so there's probably rampant corporatism and whatnot, but not sure totalitarianism is much better. Or are they going to pull a 'the demon lord was a good guy all along'?
But only 1 ep is out so far, so maybe I'm spouting nonsense and I should not speculate this much yet. It's just that I can see this going in a, imo, boring/generic direction pretty quickly, despite the cool setting.
I agree that the MC's goal of re-conquering the world to re-create his feudal(?) empire sounds deluded and decidedly un-sympathetic, so I am interested in whether or how his goals change over time.
OTOH, we didn't really get much detail on how his old empire was run. His insistence that everyone defer to him as "King" probably indicates outright feudalism, moreso than the social democratic(?) consumerist "evil" empire from "Tis Time For Torture, Princess" (OTOOH, I'm sure if you asked Charles Windsor how he wants to be addressed, I'm sure he'd reply "King" too)
It's also his insistence of being a superior being compared to mortals that bothers me.
