I hope that's not actually velcro, because I'm pretty sure that was invented within the last century and only managed to work because stronger, non-biodegradable synthetic fibers like nylon had just been discovered.

They better get started with research on plastic decomposition magic, just in case...

 

[rkkn]

hmm, it's been rather boring thus far

 

[EnderWin]

Would Newton and the rest of the major people of the scientific revolution exist in this series?

 

[CraniumAmbiguity]

WILLLLLLSON!!!

 

[LoliNecromancer]

Poor gobby being rejected for the sins of his species while orc kun gets a pass

So, she barely fits the prince as a potential queen because of the too large age difference of two whole years? That's not a significant age difference at any point once both are old enough to actually date.

And compare it to actual historical age differences... Well, that's sometimes several times her age. Some things belong in the past.

Also, that looks like more than nine families. Translation issue, or extended families? The prince isn't one of them.

Maybe in that world there's a plant, animal, monster, or mushroom that produces natural and readily available material for the hook side. The other side isn't as much of a problem. Velcro was inspire by nature in the first place, so a fantasy world could offer more than just inspiration. In fact, maybe it could also be material manipulated by (earth) magic to serve the role, after some wizard got inspired.

I'm actually positively surprised the world seem quite complete and the MC might not need to introduce (obvious) stuff from our world into it. Even the lack of bathing was, kind of, explained by using magic. Though I wish the maid had instead said that physical bathing is for commoners and nobles use magic to clean themselves. That would have been a good detail from the author, as it would have reflected how in RL nobles used to invent all sorts of customs and manners to separate themselves from the common people.

Ah, I remember those toys, I also had fun with it back when I was young. Also, I feel you MC, ethics lesson is exhausting, there was one time my school had us go to some hotel and they teach us about eating ethics, by the time it was done I was exhausted.

 

[Snailman32]

Nah dog, y'all can get out of here with those soup manners. You put a bowl of soup in front of me and all bets are off, I become a ravenous slobbering beast

 

[Seraphus]

YO YO YOOOOO.....

Honest question for our audience:

Is "sitting up straight" actually considered "totally hardcore," as the author said?

Is that only an "American" thing (I'm also an Irish Citizen, but i hrew up and live currentlyin the US), or do other cultures also teach this to everyone?
Because while this isn't taught to everybody in the US, I pretty much don't associate with people who hunch over, chew with their mouth open, don't use a napkin, and all the other things I thought were "Normal."

I mean, that's not even "manners;" that's basic, like... respectful human behavior, right?

Or am I totally wrong here?

This chapter is amazing in all the fun little things and happenings.

There's normal table manners and then there are "refined" table manners, depending on the culture. Most people do fine with normal table manners. The MC is going to something a lot more strict. Not just sitting up straight in a relaxed manner, but sitting up abnormally straight.

For an example in my life, I went to this one place where as some random side thing, they had some elderly mentors teach us etiquette. One of the table manners was to slice meat in one direction, going outwards. So sawing was not allowed (going back and forth). Cut outwards, lift up the knife so it is no longer touching the meat, bring the knife back to the beginning, and then cut outwards again. Like some sick joke, for our meal, they gave us cheap butter knives to cut some of the toughest overcooked slabs of steaks ever. So of course we were failing miserably to cut the steak. During the meal, whenever the mentor looked away, we would furiously saw away at the food in a way we never would normally do and then immediately stop and resume the "correct" way whenever the mentor turned his attention back to us. That's just one of the ridiculous etiquette rules.

Ah.
See, the trick is to put all the pressure on the tip as you push the knife away from your body, amd you use no force when drawing it back; then (in the US, but not in Europe), you set the knife down, and switch hands, while placing your off hand in your lap, place the meat in you mouth, place the fork down on the other side of the plate from your knife, and chew with your hands in your lap.

Only after you swallow do you take a sip of wine, and engage in conversation.

Basic manners!

And obvs that you sit totally straight when at the table; it shows basic respect to the presence of others seated with you.

I'm just confused that this guy considers this to be "hardcore;" this is just how civilized humans eat, as far as I'm aware.

I've known this stuff as the absolute basics of basics, and I've never had more than 3000 dollars American to my name at one time; not ever.
I've been poor my entire life; my kids ate breakfast and lunch at school, and my spouse and I only ever ate dinner for most days... because food costs money, and there is not enough food stamps to feed a family, so... anyway, I've always been poor.

But even being lower working class, manners like these are very VERY basic; I seriously thought everybody knew them.
