The novel don't describe much outside the barrier. Way later in the story when the protag will go out, it's mention there is a public car network that stop to every village outside and that it.Yet the outside is portrayed as a wilderness and not a vast sprawling farmland, which it should be. Not to mention if 80% of the population is inside said city, the remaining 20% can't feed them, unless they are all farmers with teleportation magic to handle the transportation and also apply modern industrial farming methods and probably don't eat themselves anything they grow.
Mayhap the WN/LN portrays the outskirts better, but I judge only what I see here.
Now you are getting it. One logistical disruption and you have a food shortage in this city.
But the setup is even more ridiculous because
80% of the kingdom population live in the capital protected by the barrier, but half of it is noble mention, so all commoners are cramped into half of the city. It is portrayed as an issue since forever.
The reason why nobody attack them is because to conquer a country, you need to take their symbol of power keep by the royal. But since the items in question are well protected inside the barrier, nobody can claim the country.
I remember thinking, "maybe they can't take the country, but they can definitively reduce his size to the capital only"
Outside is supposed to have farms and small village, but the author didn't describe much since the protag don't go out except to go back home
