5th place: Loner Life in Another World Vol.17: Obsolete Destruction

Having finally arrived in the land of the elves, the solitary high schooler Haruka wastes no time taking action.
To neutralize a meddlesome trade nation that could become a nuisance, he builds a fortified city and even starts a business—dealing a devastating blow to the merchants’ country in the process.

Not stopping there, Haruka and his companions head deep into the forest to the elves’ sacred grounds, intending to declare war on the Elder Elf—the very source of corruption in the elven kingdom.
And since they’ve come all this way, they decide to “say hello” with a preemptive strike!

Before their overwhelming power, the elves can do nothing but watch as their lands are trampled...
Yet amid the chaos, Haruka discovers a hidden mystery lurking within the holy land!

The strongest loner’s otherworldly adventure continues in Volume 17!
