Okay that “lord” keeps coming up whenever a bad decision is made or people act shitty. This is clearly a very corrupt governing system and society. Can’t wait for it to be toppled, but I feel like between that and the MC’s growth rate I’ll be 50 chapters in before anything of note changes. Too bad they can’t realize on their own that social class systems, heavy taxes (60% of crops what the hell?), and government corruption (especially when stupid decisions nearly lead to the death of a village’s best hunter) greatly impedes economic growth and development. Here’s to hoping the citizens get tired of this and topple the government soon. My payoff for reading will now be to see the pretentious asshole dick knights from ch 1 and this “lord” kill themselves (or just die/get killed). But I really hope this isn’t as slow and long walk it feels like its gonna be.
