There is literally no way a country that has discovered sugar wouldn't have invented desserts and pastries

ugh the typical guild and examination system thing. has anyone done any other types of systems? like for example, maybe make the categorization of "Adventurers" more complicated (include different rankings such as intelligence and strength. actually, don't even include them as rankings, just as information). in addition they could make it so that everybody has a rating, that goes up based on task completion and competition (maybe make it so that people are capable of raising their rating by challenging higher rated adventurers). They could even do something like a resume or something where the person in question states their preferences in terms of task categories and such.

Like for real though. this typical F E D C B A S ranking has been overused.

I am seriously concerned if this damned MC is actually worrying about his crew ship. Feels like he doesn't give a damn. Are we just supposed to assume he does? cuz its not mentioned anywhere apart form the initial chapter.

@Eshtha Wdym? According to the IA on board of the ship, everyoen except him died, he is the only one of his crew that survived.

I think he was also under the impression the ship failed to fix itself at all due to all the debris he saw burning up as it fell through the atmosphere. So if that comment was talking about that military AI MILF specifically, he was already pretty sure she's gone kaput and thus wouldn't be particularly concerned about that for now, not much he can do about a destroyed AI.

I think his main plan was something like securing his own survival here and waiting to see if anyone actually comes looking for them, maybe trying to make something they could detect, but even that was a longshot because they got knocked out of... whatever term they were using, warp/hyperspace, so any search party would be checking more towards the intended destination? So yeah, this guy's basically playing Subnautica here.

@LordoftheKeep that's not entirely true cause discovering something means u have to then discover how to use it and they they did use it on their regular dry bread thing and doscoveres something new so whatever discoveries with sweets they would make would be later in life since people have to test using sugar on different things in different ways

I think he's more surprised about the magicles being used as the power sources for objects other than weaponry.

Tho the more this manga progresses, the less the sci-fi elements are discussed :<

"There's a Deep Reason For it"

Bastards launching a coup?

".....yes"

That isn't very deep TBH

I'm also honestly wondering what the protocols are for an advanced space-faring society making contact with a less developed "Linked to Humanity" society - that' gotta be a thing, right?

Why is Ria signing up too? Surely she already has a role in society considering she, y'know, lives here? And her goal was to go home, not indefinitely traipse with Alan?

The idea he has master-class swordsmanship by playing a game makes no sense. Even in VR, games are still going to be tailored for fun-- the skills won't perfectly transfer to the real world. For that to happen, the vr game would have to be tailored solely for realism and have literally no enhancement elements yet he describes it like an mmo. Even the author of SAO wasn't silly enough to think martial skill in a VR game would translate to the real world! Heck, even if it was a perfect physical simulation game built solely on martial skill, he would still have way less experience than someone who literally makes it their life's work like a knight or pro adventurer. Games are a hobby, and he quite clearly has a job considering he's in the military so he can't devote endless time to it. It would make more sense if it was a military training simulation or something.

I also hate how the setting treats magic. Literally anyone can visualize magic and change it as shown by how easily he teaches Ria, but despite being able to figure out how to formulate it enough to have spellbooks, the people who can create magics have no idea how they did it. It's such an unrealistic take on a magic system and I see it all the time in Isekai. If people aren't willing or able to experiment with magic, how were the spellbooks made in the first place? If it were something like him using advanced scientific knowledge for chemical reactions or something Id get it but instead it's "hurr durr fantasy civilization has no idea how their own important tool works and doesn't think to improve it". It's a cheap way to make the protagonist seem smart and op despite being basic as fuck. Why not make him actually use the things inherent to his background to be op like knowledge of science or advanced military tactics? Nah, he just has a mind's eye and it never occurred to anyone else to use the basic concept of imagination.

I think this was discussed in Kuma Kuma Kuma Bear. When playing video game, you can engage in no holds barred fights to the death with worthy opponents to your heart's content. In the real world, that would quickly get you killed, but in virtual reality, you quickly become a veteran.
Of course, anybody who can benefit from that, needs some sort of power-up to have their body match their VRMMO stats. Like Yuna-san's bear costume, or Alan's Nanom assistance. Kirito can't use SAO's martial arts mostly because in real life, he is severely lacking in muscles.
But the main drawback, is that styles developed in VR are still very focused on attacking. Defending is seen as a secondary concern, and dodging is often seen as more practical than parrying (because damage still bleeds through even on a successful parry).

Have you seen medieval manuals on anything? They're often just as bad. They have not invented proper science yet.
Also, it's entirely possible that the princess was taught by a dogmatic teacher whose understanding of magic is below the level of people who develop the spellbooks. Because the teacher got his position for his noble blood, not his ability.

@icekatze that issue with a lot of JPN web novels that i read they are weirdly obsessed with writing about food.
Neither CN nor KR novels go nowhere even close to the lengths that JPN's authors do.

On another note, color me surprised the damsel in distress turned out to be princess, never could've guessed /s

And female knight looks like is such a stereotypical overly zealous servant that is blind to anything other than pleasing its master.
And its mostly japanese food even when it makes no fucking sense for it to be so. Also local food ≈ bad.

i would sort of disagree on no one caring on what rank quests you take.
Imo not sure if this would be a good analogy, but it might be something similar to like how credit score helps determine if someone is worth giving a loan or something. In this case, we could think of the adventurers as a resource, such that it would be a waste of manpower (assuming the guild cares about their adventurers, or employees, or perhaps they're running low on hiring adventurers) if someone decides to take a quest ranked higher than their current evaluated abilities. so there is purpose behind preventing people from allowing them to take on any quest regardless of difficulty.
