Desperately rushed in order to get something resembling an ending, important plot points get thrown out of the window in order to make the deadline.

Thanks for the translation, but seriously this ending was pretty bad.

thanks for the translation.

sad to see this finished but honestly, when elven dad was turned into a surviving noble, it felt too much out there for one such story. i would have enjoyed more chapters on the family and friends building up their neighbourhood to become an actual part of the town.

Back before the railroads, which were the first genuinely fast mode of travel on land, all major roads had inns along the way, something like 20km apart, depending on the road condition, place, and terrain. Did Japan have whole towns (villages?) founded around these inns? It's not like such a thing couldn't have happened anywhere if a certain place had special benefits from major traffic, but to call it a post town means it's not just an inn with a stable for the travellers' horses.
Interestingly there's a modern equivalent in Japan. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Roadside_station

I reckon that towns/settlements did develop around inns if lucrative resources were discovered nearby.

so mc was actually a prince with a claim to the throne and his black hair signified he’d have power rivaling the founder, so some noble faction just decided to kill him before he could become a threat?

"You're royalty! Come live a happy life!"
"nah, I'd rather keep being a low-class orphan."

I'm assume the novel was a bit better written on him reflecting on how much freedom he'd lose, and technically if things bad he can still take up his family's offer, etc, but without a proper discussion on how that would change and impact his life (whether he could take his friends as aides, etc), it just feels wrong to completely dismiss it without a thought.

This adaptation doesn't simply fail to deliver the whole story; the last chapter appears to have been throw-together in a hurry.

I've bought Japanese light novels, but never in response to being frustrated by an adaptation. I am not impressed by Japanese audiences who reward such delivery.

Yes, there were villages that grew around rest stops (including inns) on major routes especially on the postal routes. A few of the more preserved ones include Tsumago and Magome on the Kisoji stretch of the Nakasendo postal route.

Awww...axed, I presume. No Ed and Miinya growing up, no further adventures, no additional political intrigue...

Oh well...

the noble: this kid is a potential danger, kill him
also the noble: refuse to pay more money
the result: they can only afford to send a single sloppy assassin that get detected and defeated by a bunch of kids
