...Not sure if terribad writing to begin with or terrible translation. I'm going to guess that the writing probably wasn't great to begin with, but the translation didn't help. Some of it still makes no sense in context like the whole "lack of resources" bit and some of the dialogue is just... it comes across like someone having a box of random similar bits of dialogue and they got pulled at random? I don't know quite how to put it. Like the dialogue itself in each sentence makes sense, but it seems like all of it together has little to do with one another.
The dialogue with Japanese-looking warrior girl talking to male MC about the sword, especially, was god-awful.
