The MC was not equip with chainmail, it was a gambeson. Also, back then there where countless types of cultures and fighting styles so some wore little or no armor in some battles.

Found the rest of the translation, its available up to chapter 33 on mangakakalot. Issue is that this quickly turns from an interesting premise to a poorly made attempt to copy and  outdo vinland saga. MC gets really greasy, murdering completely innocent people and even committing full on rape at one point and reveling in it. Its super edgy, and i dont mean like these things are alluded to. MC straight up stabs a helpless, bound slave girl to death just to "get used to killing" and a few chapters later he very graphicly rapes an innocent village girl that was abducted from a rival lords lands before offhandedly selling her into slavery. Hes also just kind of generally a shitty person. This entire series is just tasteless edginess for the sake of being edgy.

I said it rips from vinland because its very obvious modeled after viking culture but the author for some reason introduces ancient Japanese style weapons and armor and tries to insinuate that they're better. Even going so far as to, at one point, say that European style straight swords are only for thrusting and if you swing it, you will break the weapon. It feels more like some fan-made vinland fanfic, its low fantasy but so absurdly low tech that they have actual royalty sleeping on piles of straw.
