I'm thinking it will be easier to just go over what's different in this one. The set up is the same as, like, every other isekai out there. Dude gets reincarnated as Ars Louvent, a nobleman's son. By the time he's three, he's learned to read and write, etc. and he has a special skill--he can appraise OTHER people (but not himself) and sees their skills, etc. represented as numbers.
Learning the world's history, he sees that it is inevitable that this world is headed towards war and bloodshed. He starts collecting talented retainers, not paying any attention to race or gender, etc., just their skills. He is a teeny, titchy little paragon of virtue who wants to help people and make a difference in the world but so far doesn't seem to have any "power" other than his appraisal skill (and inspiring his followers).
Happily, his dad seems to realise and appreciate his talent right away and basically lets him do what he wants, even accepting new retainers that are from 'despised' foreign countries, etc.
Another plus, I'm pretty sure this isn't going to turn into a harem. Honestly, if it did, it'd be very sick, because dude is still a little child. In a flash forward, we see him looking like maybe 10? But either way, YOUNG.
I've seen 3 episodes so far and it's pretty good. Not super exciting, but good.
Edit: finished it a while ago. I found it interesting and worthwhile, though a bit slow paced. Definitely there was a LOT unfinished by the end of the season. That said, I do think I'd watch a second season if they make on. However, it's not one that watching it made me want to go out and buy the books, so there's that. Oh, and it did NOT turn into a harem, thank goodness. Though I could have done with less boobs.
