Sometimes I wonder if authors only use popular settings like isekai to be able to sell the beginning of a story to a magazine and then, when they are more well established, write the story they really wanted to write, considering many of them dismiss the 'reincarnated' motiff pretty quickly.

 

[Doenyon]

Just wondering here, and I'm sure the author hasn't even thought about it and just thinks that's normal. But given the amount of planning and change she's bringing there to her fief, is she planning to cede from the kingdom and become queen on her own or something ? So much administration for 1 city and a couple villages is a bit overkill. And well, as much as she's acting lord of her territory, she's still part of a kingdom, with laws to follow.

 

[KaedeKyl9]

@Doenyon no, depending the kingdoms and the age they lived, the fiefs do not have many laws like modern world, most of them can do whatever they wanted while they pay their tax to capital. So it doesn't look strange to me here.

@MagiciansBlack

Honestly this one is using a lot of it though
Half of what she is saying has come straight out of various accounting courses I've taken
Plus her analysis of the economic conditions of impoverished areas
and knowing how to process Cocoa

This is literally Tax Accountant meets medieval duchess

@MagiciansBlack you've observed something common in novels, comics and movies. People use genre as a footstool to tell a story pretty often. It's not as black and white as you're making it out to be, but I do think the author really just wanted to write a city-building simulator in the form of a manga somewhere deep down in his/her heart.

 

[ColonelCrisp]

Every time I read the credits page, I get more and more concerned.

 

[DracoInduperator]

@Doenyon Her fief is actually pretty big we only saw 2 of the places in the South and the East. Also on the map that they showed it was stated that it would take a month just to go to those places in a straight line instead of following the border. So if that was the outermost edges of the South and the East and we say that the Fief has the same dimensions on all sides than we can assume her territory is a nice size.
@ColonelCrisp IKR?

 

[Darkmeep]

Oh god it's uncle diddle LOL

Conditioner definitely existed before shampoo because one requires a chemical agent for production. The only people to use foaming cleanser before lye were uto-aztecans and Mayans who used a soap plant that foamed. Everyone else used fat and oils and conditioner is fat/oil and some liquid mixed together. Some of her “inventions” make no logical sense... sometimes knowledge is a burden with this manga😩

 

[KMoore]

Her mother kinda looks like Anjou from Yancha Gal no Anjou-san

 

[JL96]

@KMoore your fucking right she does, but that face also screams ara ara

 

[Rapala101]

Stay away from uncle

 

[Winchan]

Oh no. Uncle Trouble.

 

[missy115]

I call bs to a lot of things but this is fiction so eeehhh. Also, they should change the theme of this manga into management or accounting 😂

 

[Tropingenie]

Guys: *have long hair*
Conditioner: *I'm about to end this mane's whole career*

 

[SotiCoto]

Just how in all fuck did she, a tax manager or whatever, know how to make hair conditioner?

Funny thing is... I got weirdly worked up recently with trying to figure out how to make Sodium Bicarbonate... and figured out that the whole wood-ash to lye process was the first step in a very long chain of ever increasingly complicated processing....
I came across the whole soap thing along the way... as you do. I mean most of the stuff about making wood ash into lye was people being all "make your own soap" ... while I was entirely focused on making a chemical leavening agent for bread because who has the fuckin patience for yeast? Anyway... I took a brief glance at shampoo and conditioner and promptly thought to myself that frankly the amount of high-tech chemical engineering that has gone into this shit over the centuries is obscene...
Simply put, nobody isolated in a low-tech would would be able to make even half this shit...

And she just.... magically... made hair-conditioner... somehow. No explanation given. No instructions. No memorisation. No reason. She just somehow magically knew the method for making hair conditioner AND did so in secret on the side while engaging in advanced capitalism...


Yeah... this is bullshit.

 

[Leviathanmiuna]

@SotiCoto there's something called natural air conditioner that existed befor the industrial one women used I forgot the recipe but I know they used a bunch of weird combinations , AND bro, there's something called common knowledge which DEPEND on the person , it's just stupid to even ask why people knows some stuff

 

[SotiCoto]

@Leviathanmiuna : Before the 20th century, people pretty much just put oils in their hair... or lemon juice or somesuch. It doesn't qualify as hair conditioner as it wasn't a specialised product. And bleating some shit about common knowledge isn't exactly convincing when it is obvious the author doesn't have the first clue about hair conditioner (like they obviously know about economics, given the degree of exposition given to that topic), and is in no position to make their character seem to know about it either.

 

[Leviathanmiuna]

@SotiCoto I know a bunch of people who can homemake all sort of different stuff both in college and just in middle school and the author same with any book won't point out every single detail for u man
