Did the manga change? Because I don't remember reading a manga about a world ruled by women, I remember it was Virgin Knight: I Became the frontier lord in a World Ruled by women.

Where the hell is the MC? It's been a few chapters since I last saw a glimpse of him, maybe the author forgot about him.
Berserk author died and cgan
Basically this. It went from wonderfully lewd role reversal world with comedy elements to bizarre edgelord nonsense. There's no problem with intrigue and more serious moments, but let's not kid ourselves. This was clearly meant to be an ecchi comedy, and now it's teemu berserk. Not really digging the change, but will stick around to see how it goes.
The irony is, Berserk has plenty of levity, comedic characters, and lots of wholesome relationships between those bleak battles and tragic set pieces. Band of the Hawk camaraderie makes the deaths so much more impactful.

It seems they’re taking the wrong things. And I understand it’s probably hard to do death.

gouges out her eyes, slices off her ear, stomps her head in
I think we're likely to get some more gore next chapter. Valiere is still mid stabbing, after all.

we got to see Zabine being even more of a badass
Maybe trying to seed Zabine's family a bit better as well as seeding Valiere's charisma with that little monologue she attempted?

I think you guys are forgetting that this is a world with a 10:1 female-to-male ratio, not just reversed morality. In this setting, men are precious resources, and no one would let them die in a war. Imagine it: if every man doesn't have at least 10 children, humanity will go extinct. That’s why the villagers risk their lives to take their men back. Since that village is currently all-female, no men will ever visit, and it will die out in a few years.
Which is hardly a challenge, there is a reason sustainable birthrates are measured on children per woman. In this case each woman would need about 1.2 children.
If you really think about it, you would realise what incredibly explosive population growth this would enable. If each woman has 2 children that would almost double the population in 1 generation.

The changes from the WN are really interesting too. Originally it's a soldier that breaks through the battle line with a crossbow and shoots at Valiere, giving Hanna enough time to cover her. A totally random soldier (heavily implied in the manga to be the soldier we see Zabine kill here) Changing it to a young squire (or maybe village boy??), really emphasizes the blood rage Valiere's lineage is known for.
Seems much better than whatever happened here, if that is during the heat of battle that is. This mostly highlights the incompetence of her subordinates.

Maybe, but I doubt it. This entire battle has been somewhat changed.

I imagine, since in the LN they seeded rumors about Zabine's family/circumstances in Vol 2.

Yeah, there is no break in the battle, though it was winding down. They were in the rear guard when a soldier manages to flank them. Hannah was the only one beside Valiere/Valiele in the middle, acting as her personal guard. The militia were pulled back to rest and rotated out. The front was composed of the rest of her guard and Faust's corp/citizens.

While her subordinates are relatively incompetent, except for Zabine, it is mostly from being normal dumbasses, and being the third or fourth born girls with no hopes of inheritance.

Which is really wild, because this isn't how the LN goes either. That follows the WN more closely in how it happens. Just some random gal with a crossbow who ignites the bloodrage. Valiere (Valiele in the official translation for some reason) gouges out her eyes, slices off her ear, stomps her head in, and then plunges her sword into her chest.

No Helga being held hostage. Just someone managing to pop up with a crossbow.

At least we got to see Zabine being even more of a badass to counter her being such an absolute dumbass. Zabine is great.
Probably simplified Valiere flipping out for the sake of the artist.

I mean, yeah. But there wasn't anything with Helga or the like. Just a woman who tried to take out Valiere/Valiele getting a shot off that Hannah jumps in front of.

I'm about 80% sure the WN was just the repeated stabbings, though.

I will say that the Religion in the LN is basically a weird bit of Norse bleed through on what is essentially the Catholic Church. Most of the church for some reason forbade crossbows. Except Faust's sect/denomination. Who are ultra militant. It'll come up later, and this is a spoiler, but they currently hold the secret to gunpowder and muskets. They are a pretty important faction.

There's a few issues with this. The most obvious is Genetics, while you can theoretically rebuild a population from just a handful of guys and a hundred women everyone becomes as inbred as the Ptolomes in a handful of generations without a lot of planning and lineage tracking. Second is Logistics, populations are statistical averages. Sure it's 1:10 ratio, but that doesn't mean it's spread perfectly evenly and with a slight shift that can be devastating if one village has a 2:10 ration while another is nearly all female for a generation or two. It gets worse without modern transportation. And it's still a bottleneck and a chokepoint where if something happens to the very small population of males it could basically collapse the system real quick wherever that disaster happened, like here where a small army taking a couple dozen boys basically sentences a village to being erased in a generation. Third is you can't have the majority of the population be perpetually pregnant in order to sustain this without a massive post agricultural revolution level of resources to support it. Culturally it'd also a pretty big ask as well since there would have to be a situation of women having to provide for another pregnant woman while she can't work. Basically the ratios would have to about the same as in the real world, about half the population really being able to support repopulation efforts directly at any given time. There's also the issues of child birth complications and dying before procreation since this isn't a modern world with modern medicine. In all likelihood the system is that there's a handful of woman who are will need to have about 5-6 kids to keep the population stable.

I might be retarded but what was the reason for Zabine to be in the ground while all of this transpired? In the last chapter she was seen wondering about the 1 (ONE) missing body and next time we see her shes awkwardly stomped by the enemy soldier while playing dead? What did I miss a chapter or something?

In the WN the soldier breaks through the front guard line and basically takes a shot from across the field.

"At that moment, a woman emerged from the enemy lines surrounded by the royal guard and Polydoro’s subjects.

In her hands was a crossbow.

That immensely powerful weapon Faust used, ignoring complaints from the church."

WN also has all gory stuff the LN has.

That's a fair criticism. I believe it's implied she plays dead as soon as the alarm goes out (page 1 of ch.12.2) about the missing soldier she was looking for (last page of 12)
