Oh nyo! He was reincarnated in a fantasy world where the author was too lazy to make original geography and just copied our world!

 

[outinthegardener]

You maniacs! You blew it up!

Oh no! I was wrong! It was Earth all along! You finally made a monkey out of meeeee!

Could be a world where humans evolved into elves, but it's 100% lazy author.

 

[mahtan]

Well dude is a 7yo with over 20 years experience.

 

[w1987g]

Huh, score a point for not being reincarnated in Japan. I wonder if in the next chapter he starts wondering about rice and soy sauce...

 

[Haezer]

So the same premise as that one reincarnation manga with a cyborg MC name Noah then? Where humans evolved into different fantasy-esque races.



And damn to think that using this premise now counts as lazy. Funny cuz I pretty much don't see this kind of comment in that other manga I mentioned

 

[haurvatat23]

total lil scheming mastermind inn'e? rather surprised the countries on that map don't have the drastic warping of most contemporary maps of the day. cartographers deliberately screwed up the lines for job security, so anyone attempting to navigate by those maps without hiring a cartographer for their ship would get hopelessly lost. it would still be recognizable as earth's continents, but a la fun house mirror style.

Spoiler: Helck

I came across it in Helck, except the human forerunners are dead, we learn it through the story.

 

[LordofLeechers]

Man, I despise the trope of fantasy worlds being Earth, but in the future. Well, so be it. I have raised myself on a steady diet of trash, so this much isn't enough to throw me off yet. I will just pretend that it's an alternate-reality Earth until proven otherwise.

 

[AcidVlad]

"awtually, this world is earth y'know"

Aaaaaaand

Spoiler

dropped

KamiKatsu did this troppe better

 

[InsaneAwesomeTony]

I'm actually impressed that he isn't in Japan but my home area of Scandinavia

Thanks for the chapter 👍🏼

Imagine trying to cross the Atlantic with a Dymaxion map lmao

 

[Legionary_Hunter]

I'll let the author cook, maybe he comes with a good explanation for it.

Inb4 relics of the modern age

original geography ,to me always sucks i always like to see a what if scenario magic existed in earth and fantasy races. Dont get me wrong but lots of times original geography just sucks and doesnt make sense and makes me wish i could forget that whole land mass, like its always a pangea like world in most isekai since they cant just make the mc colonize the land as that would be the mc being without a doubt a baddy. or have a pirate republic/monarchy kingdom in big arquipelagos.

 

[ZeroDelta]

From what I understand from the novel, I think this is more of an alternate timeline rather than a future Earth.

 

[outinthegardener]

Lol yes. This is an opportunity to, instead of inserting rice/soy/ramen/soto-uchi, you make the Japanese guy eat fermented fish and lingonberries.

 

[kingdudman]

past, future of parallel earth. That is the question

 

[Druhms]

It could just be a parallel earth situation, the same one used as "Santairiku Eiyuuki" with the geography just being Greece.
Though in my opinion, using Earth's own geography is way better than making a shitty original one, as it could just not make sense at all, as geography literally shapes how different cultures are made and how countries begin and end.
