For all you ladies out there with fellas to impress, it's easy to do, just follow these steps.Step 1: Put your waifu in that box.
Step 2: Make him open that box.
This is a fantasy world where you can craft swords that can cut solid wood like tofu, so it's totally plausible that you'd have swords which magically don't degrade over time. You could also imagine that they'd have the sword periodically maintained and restored to keep it in good condition, since it's such an important heirloom.For starters I pointed before that the sword plan was very stupid and poorly thought, an old sword, even one that had very little use will still show it's age so if you compare it with a brand new one it will be very obvious which one is the fake one.
It's a succession feud in a medieval noble house. That guy is obviously gonna come back for revenge again and again if they let him live, and I imagine Marius prioritizes the life of his innocent sister over his homicidal brother at this point.Also killing the guy was kinda extreme, yeah he attacked but they could have just cut a hand or something, it would have the same result and they would not have to kill a person that they supposedly "loved".
She understands that this is all her homicidal brother's fault, and that it was unavoidable. Besides, the direct killer is her other brother who did it to safeguard her life.Also Blood runs very thin if she decided to just travel with the indirect killer of her brother and forgive the actual killer that easy...
Like what? Keeping the death a secret seems like a perfectly sensible plan.They can argue all they want is "noble" stuff but still... they are keeping his death a secret, they could have done something else, and actually help the narrative instead just have a very lazy black and white result.
Virtually every single isekai manga rely on a ton of clichéed tropes. They are pretty much what define the genre. If you want to avoid them, you basically have to read some other medium or genre, and you ought to have known this when you started.All the girls already have a very cliché or plain non existent introductions (Tiger girl, Noble girl literally spontaneously appeared in front of him) and when the author finally ties to expand the story of one it still just relies on very dumb clichés.
If we take it for granted that works in this genre will have these clichés, we can at least appreciate how this work has good art, good pacing, a likeable MC who's neither an edgelord or a pervert, a fairly logical plot structure and writing and a somewhat novel take with the OP blacksmith concept. All of these things are more than you can say for most other isekai.I know I shouldn't not expect much from Generic Isekais but oh boy, at least try.
