Did they remade his wooden house, or is that a new house?

Hmm.. I can't put a finger on it but it feels this manga is bit more forceful than - Isekai Nonbiri -.

The girls is too eager to surrender themselves to MC. For a place dubbed "Hell", there is only 1 bad monster so far.

MC seems clever and bit dumb at the same time. If he can grow trees, why not make a bigger house first instead of living in tent and let the carpenter renovate later?

They put too much emphasis / dependency on blessing that it makes the world feels dumb if they didn't have it.

There are barely localized world building too. How is the geography on the surrounding? Is there a need to put up walls or fences? Do they make drains to bring in the water or they completely rely on MC and his magic bag?

If they are on the run, shouldn't they also setup defences before procreating? Especially when all of them are females.

It's not a big deal overall but seems like the manga got the order all over the place. There aren't many farming isekai I just want to read something nice.

No I think that's quite a big deal instead. I can't help but compare it to the isekai nonbiri nouka and I feel like the author like tries to use the same formula to achieve the same results, but he's so forceful in execution of it that he forgets the purpose of it.

Isekai nonbiri nouka is first of all 'nonbiri nouka' which means a relaxed life if I'm not wrong. Here we have each chapter the need of urgency, the speed of execution of things is fast and it' like it's a matter of time before somebody comes and threthens his peace. I wonder how things will go when the demon lord or the duchy notices this island but man. The pacing is weird.

Even if I'm stupid to expect it to be 'nonbiri nouka', the dude himself dreams of slow life in the countryside. It doesn't say he wants to be a harem king in the countryside.
Isekai nonbiri nouka is good at this with the slow pacing, here author rushes to achieve what Isekai Nonbiri Nouka is overnight.

He spends time alone. He gets the dogs, the dogs have children, he spends with them and then thw first girl appears. (I don't really remember it all perfectly).

Here the MC is never alone. The gods leave, instantly he gets a dog, he goes to the beach, instantly a ship passes by and harem appears. They spend the night, he becomes the king.

You can never achieve a dream of slow life like thus, it's just another power fantasy, but does he have power to keep it together? What if the soldiers invade? The threat is just keeping you anxious and it never feels relaxing, it just forces you to read not for the slow life, but anxiety of what's next to come.

Also why touch upon heavy topics like slavery? Isekai Nonbiri Nouka just glosses over things like this and it feels a lot more normal.

I get if you compare the two, Isekai Nonbiri Nouka at the core is the same power fantasy, but it's way less packed, the story is more thought out. And even if for a moment it changes into a quick action scene, it's soon back to normal pacing. I really liked that.

Here I just read because I force myself to see if it ever creares the enviroment for the slow life MC was talking about in page 1 of chapter 1.
Why do they need to overexplain things? I already feel like skipping those speach bubbles and just go ahead to see things done.

Tl;dr:
The story promises a slow life farming of MC's dreams as Isekai Nonbiri Nouka does, but instead you get rushed power fantasy where the MC is able to solve all the issues of the harem he was just delivered with so much explanation to make it feel all justified and normal.

The MC is so Japanese that he gets uncomfortable and freaked out by a human missing an arm.

I figured it out, though:
This MC is all of the... "aji" (the "leaves a bad taste" thing) character traits that so many people in Japan can demonstrate, and I think the author is calling them out.

The Elf Queen is actually the MC, and the subject of the isekai is just a walking, talking Deus ex Machina

And, I gotta say, the MC did a great job convincing the roaming idiot (Tadashi) to become "king" and help her save her people!
She's awesome!

I would say the MC was reacting to the sudden tone shift. Up until that point, everything had been handed to the MC on a silver platter and every problem was solved by him just touching it. Poisonous water? Touch it and it is instantly tasty. Bad land? Hit it once with a hoe. Throw some seeds and they immediately grow. Dig a well with one smack of the hoe.

The only violence he had seen up to this point was the bird attacking a puppy-sized creature... Where the bird was knocked out or killed comically with X's in its eyes, and all of the dog's wounds healed overnight just by tying a leaf to it with a string. And the only people he'd met were gods, or hot elf babes that had the oh so pitiful condition of needing some food and water, things MC can easily solve. Oh, one of them had a fever... Nothing another leaf can't solve.

All that in mind, do you have to be Japanese to be uncomfortable from suddenly seeing a major (seemingly-)permanent wound that likely occurred recently due to all of the bandages, and realizing that you're not in a world where it is all sunshine and rainbows, that the story the elves had mentioned of all of their elders and able-bodied men were killed in war is actually real and not just a backstory to a video game or something you read in a text book?

Of course a lot of that gravitas immediately went away when the arm suddenly grew back on the very next page, but the tone still had its shift.

I get where you're coming from with that, but keep in mind that Japanese culture, up until the 1950s, considered anybody not Japanese to also not be an actual human being.

That's why it was (until the 2000s) considered perverted to have sex with a cat girl, because anything that doesn't look Japanese isn't actually human.
It has ears and a tail? Just as inhuman as having only three limbs.

And until the end of WWII Japan really did consider people with missing limbs to be less than human, just like being Korean, European, or anything other than Japanese.

This was addressed and discussed for years during the Reconstruction of Japan, and a concerted effort was put forth to change this... but 2500 years of History doesn't change simply because somebody gifted a nation with a very small imitation of the Sun.

As for the shock value, uh... yeah? Maybe?
I'm GenX, so I watched schoolmates lose limbs, get hit by cars, and all sorts of things considered terrible by today's standards; I'm honestly not a good judge of what should be shocking, because I measure with a somewhat different yardstick.

So maybe you're right on that; I just don't know.

At least from the first chapter, MC apparently died when he was 40 years old in 2021, so he would have been born in 1981, long after any Japanese involvement in wars was over, so hypothetically the MC's first-hand experience with any missing limbs would be limited to injuries caused by traffic accidents, gang violence, natural disasters, or birth defects. Maybe he's seen some old WW2 veterans with missing limbs, but a lot of them would be old men and I assume his social circle wouldn't overlap much with them? And he died working in a seemingly black company that makes him work late hours so I'm not sure of how much of a social life he even had.

So it certainly seems possible for him to have seen people with missing limbs, but it feels like it would be a rare occurrence. And certainly rare to see on a young woman with such an injury, since as a 40 year old he probably hadn't been regularly hanging with 20 year old women that often recently.

To help calibrate your ability to judge what is shocking to younger people: Personally, as someone much closer to the MC's age range (MC would be a bit older than me) and working in an office job, seeing missing limbs is definitely a rarity. I don't view it as "not human", but it is definitely out of the ordinary for me and sticks out, like someone with an unnatural hair color in a crowd of people with natural hair colors, and my eyes get drawn to them when I notice. But once I know what's different I get over it ("oh, my eyes weren't playing tricks on me, he really was missing a hand").

As far as I'm aware I have never seen anyone with a "fresh" / still-bandaged amputation, never heard about a friend or co-worker recently losing a limb... For the few people I know with missing limbs that I've heard the story of, they are all male, and they are all veterans from wars in Iraq or Afghanistan. So I don't think I would have had exactly the same expression on my face as the MC, but I would still be mentally shocked seeing evidence that a woman I would have assumed should still be in school was in fact already a combat veteran, or shock/anger that someone would do that to a young woman if she wasn't a combatant.

If the Crown is made from a special tree, given MC's agricultural blessing, will it grow into more of that special tree if planted? :thonk:

The info dumps in the comments secrion are bloody crazy.

I just came here to say, that it's really rude of the elves to IMMEDIATELY try to tie down the MC by dubbing him their king.
Dude has 0% reason to accept. He can aid them without having to dance to the tune of their music.
Just give them resources, and keep in touch. That's it.

But as some said, truly a Jap MC, as one can expect. No agency, just going with the flow others dictate.

P.S: for a chill crafting story, they also skip any detail on the process of creation. The glass blowing? Fucking instant within 2 panels.
Meh.
