Mezametara Saikyou Soubi to Uchuusenmochi Datta node, Ikkodate Mezashite Youhei toshite Jiyuu ni Ikitai - Vol. 7 Ch. 35.2

[Mangadexorgy]

even in the space age,
there's still a Caste system?
Noble and commoners?

it's like medieval Europe,
but in space?

We still have the same feudal system, except it's determined by wealth rather than (i dont know how to articulate this properly) pre determined status.

Unlucky Serena

 

[feratul]

correction for page 11, Serena should say "You're not noble, so I'll be surprised if you can use sword at all". This is because Hiro himself still not yet learn swordplay and Serena haven't seen Hiro use sword.
Poor Serena keep getting rejected by Hiro. But I think there still chance for Serena to join in the future especially when Elma and Mimi actually approve Serena to join the harem.
Bellow this is spoiler for current arc in WN which happen to involve Serena a lot :

Spoiler: Edge galaxy

Hiro became more open to Serena and tell his story about how he come to this world. Unfortunately they relationship still in "close friend" not yet romantic, but there's a chance. This is direct qute from WN :
「I'm sure Colonel would meet plenty of better men than me.」- Hiro
「There may be as many men as there are stars, but there is only one of you, isn't there?」- Serena
「That's a romantic way to put it... Well, it's fine if you're just going to tell me. But I think it kind absurd, you know?」- Hiro

I just had a thought that she actually could be a good potential new crew member for a mothership that Hiro is talking about. If he wants a bigger ship, he will need more crew members right? Then she rolled out the platinum rank and golden star... I guess I know how the storry will unroll now and I do like it

Btw please can we get the next girl to have cat ears then

The reason it's so unbelievable is because the MC never comments on it or points out how backward these beliefs are relative to the technological development of their society. It's a common problem with the story because the author never fleshes shit out and just throws in whatever convenient isekai tropes (except IN SPACE and sometimes not even) he comes up with or whenever he wants to make some cheap jab.

Frankly the biggest waste is the whole "terrorist org turning off evolutionary limiters of farm meat" as a weak jab to rl animal rights orgs. Like come on that's such a good hook. Tell me their ideals, what're their goals, they sound like fantastic villains, develop them goddamit.

Um. But aristocracy is still a thing, take a look at Great Britain or Japan. They have the (now) King and Emperor and the royal/imperial family so I wouldn't be surprised if it survived to the space/ftl age.
True they can't cut down anyone just like that, but times change and even today people are talking "remember back then? Those were the times". If the crime rates would massively jump and there were so many space pirates everywhere, it wouldn't be surprising if they got more priviledges.

About the animal rights, look at the ecologists nowadays. They either try new ways to have their hands amputated, illegally take control of the ships (which is a piracy btw) or poison the river.
The first and the last one may seem like accidents but the worms eating people too seems like accident like maybe they thought the most they would do was to crawl around the entire colony and gross people out and not kill everybody on sight?

Kinda a waste but I guess it's believeable enough for him to just say 'fair enough' and that's all.
Well, the author may still come back to the terror attack.

Give poor Serena a chance. Or a headpat at least

 

[Firemorfox]

Conclusion: refusing and drawing a line apparently fails against somebody who misinterprets it as “playing hard to get.”

…or is she just aggressively pursuing him after he already said no like four times?

 

[R4nd0mGuy]

Yes, Leutnant is definitely first rate in terms of beauty, but she is still below maid-bot tho

Kinda hard to beat custom-made maid tailor to fit all of his preferences & kink. She is literally everything he wants.

 

[Sumasuun]

He's definitely getting a gold star soon. And I'm sure she'll be pushing for it. Lol. Platinum he already passed the machine test, he just needs to rack up achievements. Lol

 

[Washroom]

If anyone's interested in the light novel, volumes 1 & 2 are available in audio form on audible

Japan audio or english dubbed?

It's no different than Star Wars; sector (star system) governors are called Moffs, with Grand Moff Tarkin being equivalent to a Duke, answerable to the Emperor only. Even Vader couldn't fuck with Tarkin because he outranked him.

I feel like it should also be stated, that a nobility based system does have some merits. One of the key merits is that a ranked person can manage a property with less oversight from a central organization. This is useful for where communication is slow to travel or the scale is too large for a central authority to manage well. Now, there are a lot more demerits, but I think it can have a use in space, considering even in the comic's universe it can take weeks to travel just moderate distances. Lots of area to manage, which is why pirates are so common (hard to patrol it all).

Without noble families, they'd need a system of states run by chosen individuals (apointed or voted in), under a united authority, so temporary nobles. Merits / Demerits here too.

All that aside, unless there is some cultural revolution, like what happened in Star Trek, I don't think cultures' and society's will change too much, given even thousands of years (without severe events - mass destruction level stuff) or lots of pain (read as "Justice" - political movements such as voting rights or labor unions). I've looked over how much "power" individuals have in their life, and it can be tied to economic influence. There are more ways, but money (more like wealth though) is key. Where ever money influences those with political power, those without money will have less and will subsequently have what they have bleed away from them.

So, those "nobles" with all sorts of power will strive for more. Be it for some idea of justice or simply greed. There is nothing "Fair" about dealing with uneven power dynamics (such as a boss at a work place, or parent to child), since no one wants to lose something (what is gained can range from finances to pride, but something at the very least). If those with money at best break even, then it follows that some will eventually not break even (because not everyone is a philanthropist) and that will slowly erode those with less power to a state with even less.

Could give dozens of examples off the top of my head in all sorts of ways, but it will forever stand that rules and laws are made for those with power. It is their shield and their weapon.

----------

Anyways, what I was trying to get at, was that a nobility system being created makes sense as an end point, even without being in space. The pirates and citizens will need a "let them eat cake" moment before anything will really change, and how the pirates are characterized in the story, that isn't going to happen.

Didn't mean for it to be this long, but needed to complete the shell of the point to get an understanding of how nobles could be in space.

Huge LN spoiler:

Spoiler: LN

He actually did get the gold star

 

[Astronema]

Did she finally accepted ? Can anyone spoil me pls.

As of web novel vol 11, no. She is likely to be the last girl to get added.

 

[justtoread123]

As of web novel vol 11, no. She is likely to be the last girl to get added.

I hope so, I like her

 

[SardonicJester]

Yesterday, on the third, another web chapter came out (443) - Serena tearfully asking to be with her again, but he maintains his independence (but revealed the secret that he from another world).

 

[Styrr]

she has Big Aqua energy

 

[blablablub]

Well MC, have you considered not listening?

 

[rozert]

But it'll be a pain if he does take her in. Her drunk state is already bad.

Well yes... but prolly she'll be less pain in the ass once MC accept her. Like her only flow when she's drunk rn is that
1) she's stressed due to excessive workload
2) MC ignoring all her approaches, she just wants to be spoiled a bit like Mimi and Alma
Everything will be resolved as soon as she gives up her position, nobility and will be embraced by MC

 

[rozert]

she has Big Aqua energy

At least she's useful unlike that H2O idiot
