It's because he's the new king, he needs to follow at least some of the traditional ruler's ways. Kings are supposed to be rulers, not your friendly neighbors who you can talk about snacks with. Hell, even politicians in our world are far away from average people, and they aren't goddamn royals. But MC is doing this thing of being chummy with everyone and all that 'open and down to earth king' stuff... but what will happen after he's done his part? (Not talking about actual development in the original story, which I haven't read.) While I'm pretty sure author won't go into next generation or even return throne to the previous king, but if he did, what would others do in MCs place? If they go back to being regal and disconnected, most subjects would be displeased. And if they continue MC's way of doing things... is it even being 'king' at this point? This kind of cultural shifts are actualy really important. It was established that MC was interested in history, so he should've thought about this topic.Don't you forget he is the king himself? and because he is the king more or less people must do what he want to do obviously adn don't forget that in elfrieden, hero isn't belived to demon king slayer but one that can change the world
I'm actualy okay with how MC and his (pointless I might add) harem came to be connected. What I'm NOT okay with is the speed of this development. Princess is impressed with his reforms before most of them even passed through, while selling her nation's treasures to repay the debt could've been done by anyone. But she fall for MC just like that. Elf girl gets knowledge of forestry and pledges herself to him even before considering if all the things he said would even work for her homeland (and seeing how there's quite a few traditionalsts there, it won't be a smoothe sailing anyway). It's like both just shrugged while thinking "eh, might as well fall in love". That's just lazy.yeah just doing paperwork that make a "bankrupt" country to stable country, and like any elves / dark in medieval sword and magic world that basically friend of nature or forest has basic knowledge of forestry
And that would be fine... if he weren't so steadfast and proactive all the time when author doesn't need to show that MC is a human too. That one moment looked like a checklist entry for "arbitrary moment of weakness". I feel that it'll be soon forgotten and won't repeat again because quota was fulfilled.dont you forget being a king must deal with live of his people?do you think that is an easy job and not taxing on his mind? and he is believer of Noblesse oblige too
