Is it just me, or are Ryouma’s hands on backwards when he has them on his hips in chapter 28 page 16?

Wgen i reading novel, i think their mom is pretty and not fat.

 

[Papah]

Isn't that building was too much for a laundromat?

 

[dnoj]

Slimes can learn anything. They're fantasy world equivalents of machines and AI. Soon, they will take over all of the jobs, and slowly rule over society.

 

[Aichan]

Super easy mode, ho!

 

[Geohie]

@Papah

I mean... for a modern laundromat it's average.



For a fantasy world, you would presume it was a much more important building tho.

 

[Winchan]

In a few years, slimes will become humanoid and will be an entirely new race.

Slimesapien > Homosapien

Do... limestone rocks not exist here? Are they exclusively finding powder? Then why is it called stone?

Man, mother nature did a good job of packing limestone together. You can't tell me that nobody's ever made a limestone quarry...

@X3h0n People bring this sort of thing up all the time but why would we assume that every single discovery happens in the exact same order as it did on Earth? Aside from the authors always just trying to show off their character's ingenuity in a world that's generally lacking in various ways to allow for that more easily, it's just strange to think that everything would go so similarly in a world with stuff like magic advancing alongside but much faster than the science end of things.

A step here or there skipped because a spell already exists to do this or that would potentially happen enough that what's really strange is that any of these worlds are as similar to our own as they are. Which direction the development goes all comes down to the author's decisions in the end either way, and I mean most of the authors of stuff like this aren't exactly experts in the variety of things they have to cover at the end of the day, but what should really strike us as strange more often than not is the similarities. If in cases like this, we can pretty much blame the gods for all of that, then perhaps we just blame them for the differences too.

It's a valid complaint that the authors don't put in enough research time for world building when they're basically copying our own version of humanity and adding twists to it, but we also generally know what we're getting into when we read isekai, don't we? A lot of these writers are amateurs that got a web novel picked up for actual publication through contests online. That was how this whole isekai boom started, and it's shaped a whole genre around it. Most of the tropes are clumsy and unwieldy tools to be used by unsteady hands.

I mean, if a bunch of civilizations around the world independently figured it out... Yeah, it's pretty unrealistic that there's a whole world that hasn’t figured out how to use a basic building material like limestone. Especially since they have more complex uses for limestone already.

@flannan what I'd like is for them (isekai people) to go on grand adventures and not bother inventing goddamn soy sauce

or maybe invent something that exists in neither world, but that would require a level of creativity above and beyond the capability of the author

Or at least invention something that requires specialized skills and knowledge that their background gives them!

They're always making complex stuff like new electronics too but I've only seen a single engineer... and he was a civil engineer who didn’t deal with that because that’s not his field!

That building will collapse, there's a reason we use metal bars as reinforcement in the foundation. Well, this is an isekai so it probably wont collapse

Reinforced concrete is a relatively recent invention. Most historical buildings you see, are made without using reinforced concrete. This technology is also problematic, because the metal bars will eventually rust and tear through the building, giving it a quite limited lifespan.

The real merchant will strive for maximum profit. With a cheap price tag, it will bring down the economy and the market. What a stupid story ...

First, MC is not a real merchant.
Second, MC clearly positioned his business to profit from large amount of customers - many businesses operate like that.
Third, any healthy economy should be able to deal with changes. Even a pseudo-medieval one.

What what did he do with the limestone? I thought he plaster it, why did it have a blocky texture on the exterior?

Apparently, he made it into tiles, and covered the house from the outside.
Still, I wonder why lime only comes in the form of a powder, and not in the form of stones.

He keeps repeating 'laundromat' as if people would know what it is. Say its a clothes cleaning shop. The only reason the woman in the end could understand it is because the author forced the knowledge into her because yes.

Most likely, the Japanese word is more self-evident. Also, this world does seem to have laundry services, but he was able to undercut them on both price and quality by using slimes.
