Goshujin-sama to Yuku Isekai Survival! - Vol. 5 Ch. 27

[Esor]

Is it bad I could read that even without any proficiency in Morse worth speaking of?

The content and emote already giving to much hint 😌

After the last chapter came out, I was so enthralled by the story I binged the whole light novel that's been translated. I discovered this part is barely into the story, can't wait to see some more characters.

 

[ExLegendary]

This is honest to god my favorite manga because it's so stupid and fun at the same time.....

This world setting is getting weirder by the minute. Having even marginally useful amounts of magic power is at least somewhat common, items like golem cores exist that can be provisioned reasonably cheaply to convert even trace amounts of magic energy into eyewateringly law-of-conservation-of-energy-defying mechanical movers, and they couldn't have figured out a more thriving economy and diverse age of technology?? Just look at mankind's history of fables and tales. It's full of pots that cook gruel by themselves, wine jugs that refill by themselves, clubs that swing themselves … all things that are dreams about ordinary chores doing themselves. And as far as we know, we don't have any magic at all! With how common and accessible magic is made out to be in that world, it should be brimming with utilities and gadgets and gizmos and people and society benefiting and profiteering from them. Unless those peoples are meant to be understood as debilitatingly inept and unimaginative, raising the question how they managed to evolve to their current state in the first place.

Its really common for fantasy type worlds to be like that though. Most common reason being along the lines of, if you can make fire by snaping your fingers why build firestarters? As for us having things like pots cooking gruel themselves, thats something we desired and lo and behold we found ways to make that a reality.
They also mention last chapter that golems are really complex to program, not in the main text but the smaller text. Our technology grew like it did mainly to make our lives easier, the lives of the people in this and other fantasy type worlds tend to have magic to do that instead.
A novel/manga that had a really good example of this was World Teacher. In that fire magic is so common and small magic stones capable of starting fires are rediculusly cheap that no one ever learned how to make fire via friction, never even explored the idea of it because why bother? making fire is easy with whats already there, why make a harder, more time consuming method?
Theres also that it may we be just crappy writing because golems = cool and not much thought was put in past that.

Always nice to see a new chapter of FurryCraft.

Context is everything!

 

[phil777]

omfg Melty!

i ded

if the elf is best girl, Melty is a close. VERY close second.

 

[Ironclad]

From freeing slaves and starving children to maid cosplay. The tone is all over the place.

 

[jak]

Were we just denied a proper harem?

 

[Esper]

Hey, they were able to solve a problem themselves after given the proper idea! They didn't have to rely on him to make everything for them for once!

 

[pushpakg]

Non Harem route is the best Route

 

[Amariithynar]

So... is anybody gonna tell Galaxy Degen scans to fix the previous chapters?

Fix what exactly?

It's because he supplies them with the materials to easily make golem cores, something the person you originally replied to is completely forgetting or deliberately eschewing.

But that's the thing. I'm not arguing for ingenuity to replace magic but to incorporate it. Channeling magical energy of a user into some form of converter to do mechanical work seems to be a mechanism of common-enough knowledge in the manga's world. Yet, those are nowhere to be seen. Not as drivers for millstones, not as reciprocators for sawmills (or hell, hand saws!), not as vibrators in love toys …

They also mention last chapter that golems are really complex to program, not in the main text but the smaller text.

Not quite. What they specifically mention is the difficulty of making a humanoid machine ambulate with simple cranking in contrast.

Our technology grew like it did mainly to make our lives easier, the lives of the people in this and other fantasy type worlds tend to have magic to do that instead.

And nothing ought to be stopping their magic from being used like our electricity. But you effectively never see any chores being done with magic, not even in traces or hints. Yet, if it was really so ubiquitous, shouldn't there be a lot more on display, and on casual display at that? Or rather, if artist and author thought about the implications and would want to convey that it be so ubiquitous, wouldn't they see to casually displaying it?

It's because he supplies them with the materials to easily make golem cores, something the person you originally replied to is completely forgetting or deliberately eschewing.

Fair enough, the monkey did mention mythril as a component in the core he made, and with how much fuss Aira & Co. raised when Ko(u)suke (fix your proofreader, ffs, and decide on a spelling, will you?) off-handedly listed mythril in his yield report, it's conceivable that the availability of mythril is heavily regulated; and if it is so essential in making cores that they can't be made without it then that would be one explanation why such magic movers aren't more common.
On the other hand, gold is seen in the real world as such a big deal behind financial power that it is of state interest, yet it's in a vast majority of cheaply available consumer products, so, that doesn't really hold up, either.
And mythril being well-known, if rare, even before K's arrival implies means and mechanisms (if usually prohibitively expensive ones) are in place for obtaining it. Which in turn means it's available to the laws of economics of scale. (As would creation and development of the cores.) If people can make profit, it's inevitable to have a supply of even the most precious, rare, and difficult-to-extract materials made available, one way or another.

So, with the availability as a limiting factor pretty much ruled out, it's like mankind knowing about electricity yet foregoing (post-steam) technological advancement because they couldn't be arsed to develop, make, and improve on electric motors. It just doesn't add up.

Meaning, with all that, I suppose crappy writing and golem = cool is the most plausible explanation, which was my (and then your) original criticism and conclusion. Shame, really.

Thanks for the pointer to World Teacher, though, I'll have a look.

I want more of the dog girl, i like her the most, and that ass

What dog girl do you guys keep mentioning?? Jagheera with dat ass is a cat. (At least K' identifies her as cat). The closest to dog (of feminine-enough appearance) is Qubi, and Qubi turned out to be a guy.

Thank you for the update.

Keep it up! A little more will be the same as the Official RAW
