[saph]

they invented complex language before fucking cooking

 

[fcevil]

That was unexpected

 

[MCX01]

So the concept of elf and dwarfed came from Tolkien?! That's a new twist.

 

[Akxera]

Holy shit, LOTR!

Gandalf! 😂🤣

 

[LygarX]

And after reading that book, h gave the tribe their name as a people

 

[yutshu]

GOD DAYUM

 

[Red225]

I can't believe that Lord of the Rings was Isekai(ed)!

Also, I see that dead guy is a skeleton of culture, too.

 

[FlonneX]

He is lucky thatbit wasn't 50 shades of grey

 

[gregger]

Lol, thus the man slowly turned the planet into his own LoTR fanfic

 

[Midoriha]

>The book which should have become a treasured heirloom of the tribe and copied and re-copied endlessly was lost and forgotten
Nice tribe you raised there, nerd.
And jeez, even if you aren't a chef couldn't you have taught them some basic cooking? How to grill things? Muh human race inventiveness?
Oh well, we wouldn't have a plot otherwise. It cannot be helped.

 

[InsaneInsomniac]

time not flowing the same is a common enough trope in isekai series, but it's usually both move forward at varying rates...but this, this means time sometimes flows REVERSE between the two worlds, as the first book in the lord of the rings series was released ~9 years after WW2 ended
...I mean, it is possible it time skipped more than a decade and the skeleton showed up after the soldier, but that seems unlikely...plus how would the Japanese soldier read english? unless otherworld translation magic works on languages not from it's own world too somehow? far less likely than some other Japanese future person having a translated JP version and reverse time flow

 

[Say]

@Midoriha that would be the same as learning latin to read 2 books and never using the language itself. There is no need or use for elves to learn a whole new language just to read one book.

 

[ksen]

lore deepens

 

[Schimmelhorn]

Surprise, there might be an in-story reason for the elves and their bad cooking.

Anthropologists know that small, isolated cultures without writing will lose their cultural knowledge when they get too small — there’s not enough people to carry on all the specialized knowledge of the previous generations.

If once-large nomadic elf tribes were reduced to very small family units without outside contact, in a couple generations they’d lose all knowledge except day-to-day subsistence living.

 

[Knighto]

🤣 so the elves got called elves because of lotr 🤣

 

[grecefar]

I'm really hook in this story, not much in the cooking but in how so many earth people got there, tolkien being one of them.

 

[welcome2atlantis]

You mean it wasn't Middle-earth?
oh wait, if it had been there would have been a big mono eye around a volcano somewhere.

 

[Neeee]

Then they were called dwarves and elves.

 

[Volstgalph]

hold up !
