I've said it before and I'll say it again - the world building in this is a cut above most other stories (be it LNs or mangas). In most other mangas that I read, most of these "small" details would be cast off as "uninteresting" or "irrelevant", while in reality they matter A LOT.Imagine that. A manga that acknowledges that it's better to have something under metal armour and not just have it on bare skin. That's much too rare.
i do fear that this author went a little too far in to the world building at the expense of story. It certainly is interesting the depths that can be mined from creating new settings. I'm hanging in there, but it does feel a bit of a slog without a clear end goal at times.I've said it before and I'll say it again - the world building in this is a cut above most other stories (be it LNs or mangas).

You can see the author did a lot of thinking when writing this, and it makes the immersion 10x better - for me at least - and makes me appreciate the author for seriously thinking about the little details, making me love this manga even more.
Too bad we get a dosage of it only once a month 😢
Michiro's so OP and over-equipped, thanks to his broken skills and being able to minmax the ever living fuck out of them while still being careful and cautious to the level of paranoia, that the odds of him or any of his slavewives ever being killed for real is probably less than you on any normal day getting in a car accident or something.Sometimes I'm jealous of this guy. But, honestly, I don't think I want a life of worrying how I die every day. He earned it.
While true soft leathers were not armor quality, in most cases they were more durable. The more sturdy leathers like boar or cow hide did however offered significantly more protection and even unhardened could be considered light armor.Hardened leather was used as armour, but regular leather usually not. Mostly it was to connect armour pieces or otherwise structure the more protective elements of the armour. But in fantasy with potentially much tougher leather, it's absolutely an option.
I assume it's just the MC being ignorant.It's not hard to move in chainmail, but it's taxing on your endurance. And I wonder what they mean by "hardness", since chainmail is soft in terms of blunt force protection.
I just find it strange that that armor made by a armorsmith auto adjusts, while clothing made by a seamstress doesn't.If there's a significant amount of dwarves, there would be clothing designed specifically for them, and not just kid-sized stuff.
Think it's still a partial fail though. I do agree that many authors and mangaka forget most armor without under layers would be uncomfortable and in some case outright harmful to the wearer, the way this setting handles armor is only marginally better.Imagine that. A manga that acknowledges that it's better to have something under metal armour and not just have it on bare skin. That's much too rare.
From what I remember they don't even know that classes other than adventurer even have levels.I think only thing normal people know is their job. It's been said the only way they know what level an adventurer is is by counting the slots in their item box.
Unfortunately I don't work retail. I work tech support. There is a reason it's called The Hell Desk.Get out of retail immediately. I did. Changed my life.
Wouldn't bother me. But there are some vague promises for the next chapter.Is it me or the pages +18 are becoming less and less?
I think it shows that you don't need to go grand scale with kingdoms clashing and wars being fought. Small matters like choosing equipment or grinding in a dungeon for materials can also make for compelling stories. In terms of scale, it's similar to the Weakest Tamer manga, which has a reasonably similar approach (but without the sex, thankfully).I've said it before and I'll say it again - the world building in this is a cut above most other stories (be it LNs or mangas).

I like the slice of life aspect of it, so for me it's fine.I'm hanging in there, but it does feel a bit of a slog without a clear end goal at times.
He's also inexperienced and can't take that much of a beating. His offence is far above what's needed, but his defence leaves room for improvement.Michiro's so OP and over-equipped, thanks to his broken skills and being able to minmax the ever living fuck out of them while still being careful and cautious to the level of paranoia, that the odds of him or any of his slavewives ever being killed for real is probably less than you on any normal day getting in a car accident or something.
I think the biggest difference is that we normally judge armour by how it stands up to weapons, but here they're fighting against monsters. Claws and teeth aren't nearly as sharp as swords, so leather would be much better against those types of attacks.While true soft leathers were not armor quality, in most cases they were more durable. The more sturdy leathers like boar or cow hide did however offered significantly more protection and even unhardened could be considered light armor.
I give it a, "they tried," award. I could go into even more detail about stuff I notice, but that's a bit too much, even for me.Think it's still a partial fail though. I do agree that many authors and mangaka forget most armor without under layers would be uncomfortable and in some case outright harmful to the wearer, the way this setting handles armor is only marginally better.
I've worked at a market stand, and in tech support. And customer support in retail. Then my back broke and I started working as a janitor. Much better, but depends a lot on your specific job.Unfortunately I don't work retail. I work tech support. There is a reason it's called The Hell Desk.

Sherry's got good decision making speed. Great partner to go shopping with. For a few other reasons, too.

Yep, money's useless if you're not alive to spend it.
That chainmail should probably be fitted better. Though it's hard to see how it fits her body since it's covered.
That sure is a hit. But impact resistance is not what chainmail is good for.
Imagine that. A manga that acknowledges that it's better to have something under metal armour and not just have it on bare skin. That's much too rare.
Roxanne is always ready for a bath.
Sherry with loose hair is always a treat.
