@Manakete like always people forget this... this time you anticipated me...

- at 15-16 you marry
- around 40 you are basically a grandfather or grandmother because eventual child/ren born when you are 17-18 is old enough for marry and have children
- if you reach 80 you are basically something like our 110

people always forget that with low medical technology and monsters, people don't live very long in fantasy medieval environments and so you are young at 15 and once reach 30 you are middle-age

Good job on this.
Also to readers who came straight to the manga.
Warning the following story will be extremely sweet and have “love” scenes.

 

[kingalthur]

@Xross24 you mean that kind of "love" scenes?
I never read the novel, so my first thought of this chapter is somewhat nice...
I mean it's rare for male OP MC to like a something like flower field, tho the artist drew it nicely so it hit my feel...

 

[rei893]

Did we need to ask? It's one of harem duh

 

[fattan]

Frist Ch and Frist reunite with future wife

 

[Operatix]

That girl is as mediocre as it gets, still, was a nice flower pannel~

 

[Talismaster]

Feels like a normal story. A little boring but not unpleasant. I like it. Art feels familiar somehow.

 

[Moth]

Again, a slow life, and an ecchi.. sigh

 

[exia00111]

Prepare the insulin

 

[Nalin]

@kingalthur Explicit, 18+ "love" scenes. The question is just how explicit this manga is going to get.

@Manakete that is a tad misleading 30 something is taking into account many dead children http://www.localhistories.org/middlemyths.html

In the Middle Ages 9 out of 10 people died before the age of 40

This is not true. We do not know exactly what average life expectancy at birth was in the past but historians think it was about 35 years in the Middle Ages. (So 50% of the people born reached that age). However that does not mean that people dropped dead when they reached 35! Average life expectancy at birth was around 35 but a great many of the people born died in childhood. We don't know exactly what percentage died but if we say about 25% of people died before they were 5 years old we are probably not wide of the mark. Perhaps as many as 40% died before they reached adulthood. However if you could survive childhood and your teenage years you had a good chance of living to your 50s or your early 60s and even in the Middle Ages there were some people who lived to 70 or 80.

(unless you were using japan specific numbers and they had worse ones.)

Anyway professional sportsman also tend to be young and if your body gets worse as someone who fights monsters your are likely to die at some point.

 

[Invader_Retro]

Sighs another one to follow 😅

@Manakete
@Exeryon

You're not necessarily wrong, but remember that the average life expectancy data we have for those time periods is heavily weighted by the high infant/childhood mortality rates (due to the same lack of medical care you're talking about). It wasn't necessarily unusual for someone to live to a hundred, even in ancient times, but getting past ~12 was pretty fucking hard, even up to the Industrial Revolution. Diseases like measles, mumps, croup, general fevers, the common cold, strep, etc. that we laugh off today with our fever reducers, antibiotics, and vaccinations could easily kill a kid back then.

If you made it to adulthood, you were probably going to be fine until at least 80, barring death by violence, accident, or your body breaking down from years of manual labor.

@Ibri

EDIT: Oh, damn, you already made my point.

@fifthtouch

It's partially a Japanese thing, which is why you see it in a lot of manga. The term 'Christmas cake' comes from a saying about how single women and christmas cakes are similar - nobody wants to 'eat' them after the 25th. The gender flipped version is "if you stay a virgin until 30, you become a wizard". More generally, there's sort of a cultural thing about how you really should have established yourself in life by 25 or so, by getting married and having a family and/or having a stable career (depending on your gender).

Whether it’s OP mc or mc who got the power by training hard, people are still gonna to find anything to blame anyway
