Horobi no Kuni no Seifukusha - Ch. 22 - An Important Workshop

Paper as the new and revolutional invention in a early renaissance setting is actually a weird choice. Not only that, the author use the most traditional and inefficient way to make them too. In fact they could had used printing-press as it is not only easily replicated but can have unprecedent effect on society, which can be a strong plot point to use here.

Ah... and you can, of course, build a papermill from scratch, and know all the intricate details that come with set-type printing presses, and naturally know where to source all the materials needed in a completely different world where you don't know if the equivalents used here actually exist.

What shown here is realistic.. Years of figuring out details from a general idea of how things are made to come to a product that can compete with parchment.
All the while avoiding unwanted "attention" from the "Guild" Houses bent on controlling any profitable market and squashing any unwanted competition.

Thanks for the update. Man, imagine having a country where the bureaucrats are powerful enough that they’re actively making things worse for the population, haha.

What a crap world that would be hahahahahaha

It's like watching a speedrun. One page they're in prototype, on the next page it's complete.

As much as I hate school arcs, if you're going to bother, then timeskipping after a single event is a weird choice.

Because the school part is only for him to meet some people, add a bit of spiciness to the story, it's not about him "going to school to learn", he knows enough that he skipped a lot of classes. And remember he has to be until 20 (maybe 21? I read the novel last year so my memory is a bit fuzzy).

these seven witches are they like allies to each other? or they are enemies to each other

They are basically the equivalent of a noble families who have economic monopoly in each sector of the economies
