I love the varying perspectives in this arc. Even as smart/talented as Ferdinand is, he’s utterly incapable of understanding a commoner’s perspective and can’t imagine a world without nobles.

it really does a great job of showing that Main is a bridge between everyone because she’s been: japanese, a commoner, a merchant, a priest, and is now a noble. It’s honestly amazing that she can keep it all straight.

TBH, technically, OUR world still have Noble, just that they didn't have an absolute power over commoner life like in Myne's world.

Well, to be fair
The land ruling nobles' biggest job is actually to pour mana into the land to prevent it from reverting to the desolate desert it was before the country was formed.
Even the amount of harvest you get is heavily influenced by the amount of mana the noble pour into the divine tool.

So in that sense, the commoners literally can't survive without nobles.

I'm actually happy they finally directly addressed how unbelievably unique Myne's situation is.
She has:
The perspective of a Commoner
The perspective of a Merchant
The perspective of a Cleric
The perspective of a Noble
and, most important of all, the perspective of an Outsider to this new world

It's no wonder she gets confused and overwhelmed when all these conflicting perspectives are influencing her.

Chalk that up to her very deep knowledge of books a lot of which could have handled a lot of these topics general topics and reading through a lot means she had to be able to desciminate between a lot of conflicting infos especially when it comes to rules of different fantasy stories

Well, Myne is wrong... we have nobles, legacy nobles and money nobles.

A lot of influential politicians are from old families, and most laws are born from economic, social and political reasons... push up or lay down by the support of enterprises and organizations.

And then, among common folks, the income disparity is huge. So our society still has social classes.

The main difference is access to education and great social mobility.

This entire arc has been an amazing discussion on the ends vs the means; I've really loved it.

I find it often very lacking in other isekai, where the MC (always male, sexually repressed, and mammophobic) is transported to a wild fantasy world....that is just japanese society, but includes (for some reason!) all of the ridiculous small societal quirks that only only only could arise on an island culture that has had a very specific Sengoku and Edo Period, and has to have had very specific people to have existed... so it is literally not an isekai; it’s like... Japan but on LSD.

But not here!
Beautiful, thoughtful, idiotic-about-books Myne totally lives in a different culture.
And, honestly, a very fucked up culture; I would NOT want to live there... not even as a noble male human of Aub or other Arch-noble.
Fuck that place, man.

And those IRL "nobles" still act like old word nobles. They throw money at everything, legal or not. If a commoner became wealthy with a new business venture, they give you the option to either sell it to them or they'll go to war with you and attempt to crush you.
Right now lawsuit bullying is the biggest thing these days. Smaller companies often just roll over as it's just too costly to prove their legal rights in these battles.
