Please don’t take the story further down the reinvention path like this

This isn't Dr. Stone speedrunning civilization. MC himself doesn't have in-depth scientific knowlwedge, so even papermaking took a lot of trial and error.

 

[hierof]

the queen/empress seems cunning as well quite the realist but im guessing either she is alone or her faction is smaller than the witches, she must have had her hands full trying to reign in or keep the witches in check.

Will Yuri's race become the first 'American' (the continent Yuri was surveying for) settlers of their world?

 

[Kaarme]

MC dude just wants to board his ship and sail to America. The country is doomed anyway. They are facing pretty much the rest of the whole continent. To make things even worse, their own country isn't unified at all, it's divided internally by the idiot witch families who would rather see their own race annihilated or enslaved than let go of their hollow pride and power. They are also living very leisurely lives in the capital and elsewhere while their neighbour and only ally, Kilhina is being eradicated by the invaders. Sure, they did send some help, but it's looking more and more like a token amount of help to merely pretend they are helping. If I was the MC, I'd also rather cut my losses and try my luck beyond the ocean. There's enough room on the ships for his family and friends, if they are willing to leave. If not, well, it's sad but there are such moments in life.

I have to wonder, why did they start a crusade against them?

 

[Kaarme]

I have to wonder, why did they start a crusade against them?

Because the Kurans, and maybe others, are using their religion as a tool to unify people. The religion makes those pointy-eared folks (in Shalta and Kilhina) to be associated with demons. This is a simple, elementary trick, as old as civilisation itself, to unite your people against a common foe. Shantila empire used to rule a vast area of land in the past, but it was beaten in a war by the Kurans, leaving only Shalta and Kilhina to represent the old culture. The rest of the continent fell under Kurans and the new religion. So, you might also say this war is but a continuation of the one fought long ago. Too bad Shalta didn't take things seriously, but that's how it often happens.

He had a job before becoming a gaming neet before he died. I give the guy a 50% chance to know two of the three ingredients of gunpowder, the rest and the ratios you can probably figure out with trial and error. What matters is that you know such a thing was possible for people in pre-industrial times. Radio is pretty far fetched, but high school physics knowledge of what an inductor and capacitor and resonance are gets you halfway there. Steam engine is easy since there’s no unknown phenomena behind its operation, it’s all just materials science in the accuracy of the bore and the efficacy of the seals.

Surely there’s something in his 30 or whatever years of life that would be useful. I prefer it not being so, but if you’re not going to have isekai knowledge feature at all, why make it a damn isekai in the first place? We have paper knowledge, and the knowledge of the existence of the Americas, that’s it.

Thanks for the translation.

War arc! Farewell, halcyon fields of my childhood days! Farewell peace. Hail, horrors!

What I mean is he had no in-depth knowledge, therefore no instant success in recreating those modern inventions. Even with one or two pointers, it still takes time to do experiment -- and time is what they don't have here. War is already knocking at their door, you think the enemy will wait for him building up strength to counterattack?

Maybe he can leisurely do that once they migrate to new continent, but for now he only owns a few ships so ferrying the entire kingdom is impossible.

 

[Haezer]

Surely the witch family will not take revenge by siding with the enemy and proceed on sowing chaos from inside the country

nah. while its going to be long story, time wise its quite short. so nothing that advanced will happen.

 

[skeleton637]

Time to do some recon in force!
