Genjitsushugi Yuusha no Oukoku Saikenki - Vol. 15 Ch. 73 - A Dance With You (1)

That's a long way away. I wonder how long it would take for the manga to reach that point.

Insert 'it's been 84 years' meme?

This story is one of the early originators of the concept, actually. It's just taken that long to be adapted to manga, and for the adaptation to get to this point in the story, too. LN started 2016, ended 2024, 20 volumes. Manga started in 2017 and is ongoing, and we're at manga volume 14 currently; equivalent to about the end of LN volume 6.

Sorta like Mushoku Tensei and how long it took with its manga; the WN started in late 2012, ended in 2015; the LN started 2014 and ended 2022. The manga also started in 2014, but only releases two volumes a year, and takes longer to tell the same amount of story because of the density of the LN and the difference in format without wanting to compromise the story itself unlike some adaptations; at volume 24 of the manga, we're only just done with the equivalent of the 12th LN volume and currently on the equivalent of LN volume 13... of 26. So, 12 years to get through 4 years of LN.

I mean, I'll take your word for it that this is one of the first LN to do it, but the planet of the apes jokes should key you in that it's been around for ages in other forms of media. I wouldn't be complaining if I hadn't already experienced this twist like half a dozen times in movies, games, tv etc.

Considering the sheer volume of material out there, running into it only a half dozen times when your oldest example is either from 1968 or 2001 (depending on if you meant Tim Burton's remake or not), across all forms of media no less, should have made it self-evident to you how infrequent it actually is used as a concept.

This story could be made better if the future wasn't Planet of the Apes, but this instead:

Flatness ceremony

So the cube is possibly a terraforming unit, and the divine beasts were created to monitor specific areas of the planet. If they were all created by different corporations it would explain why she says they all have different "ancestors".

Flatness ceremony

There's already plenty of big bouncy ones. Ironically, his future waifu who is descended from a sea dragon is one such person. This is just adding a bit of variety to the mix, which I really appreciate.

Remember that dragons are technically androgynous and have no sex assigned until they form a rider pact, then they can become either sperm donors or baby makers. Maybe both will grow now they have riders?

Why making dragons genderless? Male dragons f*ck with female riders and vise versa.

Because that's what they are. Dragons are neither male or female until they get a rider. Then they take on the opposite sex in order to make babies with their rider.

It just hit me that a lot of isekai goes "Yay japan namba wan!" but it's all european medieval setting with fantasy elements vastly credited to a british autorh heh!

His "when or "where" isn't really something to worry about. Sure, it'd be nice for him to know, but it's no skin off his chest not knowing. I think the storm box might be a golem-like being... maybe, a golem-dragon? Where did the elves and all come from? Hell, if ppl can continue to progress and evolve in a positvie direction, and the sun continues its' growth, there's pretty high odds that we'd eventually evolve that way. The birth of beastmen could be through that same evolutionary time frame with animal breeds that have close association with humans (dogs, cats, and all other main "pet" breeds).
