Score from AniList: 71/100releasing

After decades of war, Dias returns home as a hero and is rewarded with his own domain. When he arrives at his new lands, however, they turn out to be little more than endless grassy plains without even a single subject. Literally put out to pasture, Dias is stumped as to how to live any life other than a soldier's. But when a horned girl named Alna crosses his path, Dias takes his first steps to being the lord of a not-so-empty frontier. (Source: J-Novel Club)

Read the full take

After decades of war, a hero returns home and is given his own domain. The land turns out to be endless grass with no people at all. That is a wonderfully deflating start, and the series makes the most of it by turning the problem into a practical question: how do you build a community from nothing?The charm is in the small victories. Each new arrival, from elves to kemonomimi residents, adds warmth and a little more life to the land. The lord's steady competence gives the story a satisfying rhythm, and the progress feels earned.The weaknesses are clear. The opening stretch is slow, and the early chapters have few stakes. Some romance and harem beats feel tacked on, and readers who came for war stories may find the peaceful pace a lot to take.Recommended for readers who enjoy slow, constructive fantasy with a cosy streak. Expect a gentle build rather than a battle every week.
