Genjitsushugi Yuusha no Oukoku Saikenki - Vol. 2 Ch. 9 - An Old Man and His Story

[MangaDex]

 

[Cryotic]

100 years since the last tsunami, and he even witnessed it? He must be at least 105 years old to be able to remember such disaster.

 

[AlmondMagnum]

It's not like it occurred 100 years ago. It could have been 50 years ago, and that'd mean they're due for one in 50 years. Which will still be important to the new city.

 

[MRPANDOPOOL]

Also you could say that humans from this world have a longer life expectancy due to mana maybe it makes aging a wee bit slower.

kesempatan, ngga ada aisha :v peluk-peluk

 

[sakurahimesama]

Mhm...yup just like that~

 

[firosahoge]

daww, Aisha waifu chapter 😘 This story and art is 2000/10 amazing

 

[paulmanton]

@firosahoge the art is really so good. I've shown it to a few people and they thought it was great too. I think I made some new readers / fans.

 

[bushwhacker2k]

Surpassed my expectations by acknowledging the purpose of myths like these.

 

[gigabarto]

his becoming more and more like a real harem king baby!

ALPHA MALE SKILLS 100

I like harems a lot more when the girls have a reason better then "he said i was cute that one time" or something to that effect. So souma is doing good on that front.

 

[GerryCerryBery]

He sends Licia home and the next thing he does is to get it on with Aisha.

 

[DarkTuna]

The budgets gonna run out since he hire every person he sees to be a public servant...They get paid right?

 

[KamiKira00]

hiring everyone he sees for every single thing is kind of stupid. Myths are already passed down, given that king himself explained the reason (which sounds unique to that world), that explanation would spread quite easily. Also problems with a budget.
Being formal with a king establishes a separation with royalty and it's people. Realistically because of informal speech people would start talk disrespectfully with king which would lead to king loosing authority.
You can earn loyalty and respect of your subjects as a king, never as a friend.

Biggest issue is that MC knows everything. rarely you would find a person that could easily construct sever system. Realistically, using logic it would take weeks of work just to understand how it would work from what it does.

Or issue with food. Majority of food that MC shown requires spices, oil that isn't freely available to the masses.

I like to think when reading a manga. It is better than most but when you start to think, you get blinded by massive plot armor that MC has.

@KamiKira00

Agreed. I'll finish what chapters there are currently but as it stands it's annoying me. I know there's supposed to be some suspension of disbelief but it's really grating on me. Like there's so much that feels like it happens because the MC wants it. "We need a sewer" and magically everyone knows how to build a sewer.

The gunpowder thing in this chapter annoyed me because it's not that weird for cannons to be a thing while guns are not since historically that's exactly what happened in our history. Cannons were invented first before guns.

 

[cannarali]

Ah, love blossoming in the battl- ma bad, correction...in the construction field? Lol cute.

I agree, the whole "mc is smarter than everyone" trope is getting really old. Just because they come from a "less advanced" society doesn't mean they were stupid, people made the best use of what they had in every era (not to mention that lime based cement has been used as early back as the ancient greeks and egyptians, you cant tell me no one in this world didnt mix woodash with water and clay). People in ancient times where smart, that's how we got to where we are today, the only thing that changes is the tech of the day. for every new innovation we make we lose another, only to be "discovered" by a new culture hondreds or thousands of years later
