That church setup would really grind my hairs the wrong way, to be under. So if I were mc I would put myself in great opposition to the church no matter how much it prevents me from success. Then if they actually decide to punt me down for it, I would have to start amassing power by running around stealthily granting
everyone magic to increase my power until I can break their seats of power safe from a distance myself. Maybe add some propaganda to it as well, using the fact I can use naming ceremony and craft spells to make it seem like I am a true saint or incarnation of the god or whatever - and that the higher-ups of the church are corrupted servants in rebellion I came to stop (whatever I can do to muddle waters and try to turn public favour etc.). Could possibly even enable me to get supporters to poison my "parent" to break the chain above me, etc.
Sure, I doubt I would succeed, but pretty much only way to even have a chance.
Thanks for all the uploads I've seen from you on a buncha series today.
When he said he was gonna use modern castle design to trump this world's design last chapter, I imagined something more, like the star design forts that ensure defenders always have good angles of attack on people attacking the walls. It seems like he's hardly advancing the tech much at all, if the (albeit eccentric) crafter guy immediately knows all the stuff he's talking about anyway.
Same. Though how he mentioned that each tower has sightlines to all others, I imagine he might actually have used such a design without mangaka drawing it (otherwise the nearest 2 towers, would occlude the ones beyond).
