i think it should had being resentment towards woman because I don't think the queen has a good grasp of how bad the man of the kingdom being treated@MyleneScans
Page 13, upper left panel, shouldn't it be "That there'd be such discrimination towards men" instead?
I mean there was an insurance fraud scheme perpetrated by the women by sending their husbands to their deaths.
no luxian is the heroThis chapter cemented Mylene-sama as the second best heroine in this manga!
The best heroine is still Luxian, of course.
The novel actually called it for what it is - an attempt to replace feudalism with absolute monarchy. Historically, there were no contrived plots to elevate women above men in politics, but there was a concentrated effort to weaken feudal lords, who up to this point were the main source of a country's military power. This succeded in Western Europe, France in particular is a great example. The monarch gained all the power and replaced the forces of the nobles with a conscripted national military under his own authority. This didn't happen everywhere though. In Poland, the nobles were so powerful, that absolutism never manifested, they continued to gain power at the expense of the king, until the king himself was elected by feudal lords.I... kinda understood that, but I have a strong feeling they don't. They focused on controlling the nobles in the short term but really just hastened the fall of Rome. The people with power and influence are even more self centered and quick to hop sides based on whose most likely to win and gives them the most promise. They just BARELY made it through this war because of literal hax abilities and realistically (going off this not being a game and the MC not being there), not even the royal ship would have saved them.
I get the end goal is for the commoners to replace the nobles, but that still leaves a massive power vacuum that takes a lot of time and work to overcome (and nothing in the plan suggested how they'd deal with that). Also once the commoners replace the nobles it's just a game of hop skotch for the commoners to decide they don't need royals either. But I'm not even sure they'll get to that point. Above all else a nation state needs a strong sense of loyalty, pride, and nationalism. You need people that care about the state and are willing to give for it... and like... whose that?
The plan made most of the nobles selfish and shifted the power balance to women who just squander resources not unlike the Roman collesum days when all the people didn't care about Rome, just about entertaining themselves. The commoners haven't exactly been empowered or treated the way they'd need to be to instill a real sense of duty and loyalty. The non terrible nobles we just got told are only not terrible because they expect the royals to kill for the terrible ones.
So not too much different than modern day politicians 🙄
Yeaaa, fuck her-.. I mean himMan, fuck Julius making Mylene bow down to Leon to help him…
And he failed miserably.The whole setting feels convoluted and I feel like the only reason it wound up this way is because the author started the series with "Women hold all the power" then got to the war arc and realized he gave the power to men still and needed a way to work around that weird discrepancy.
It hing on the fact that men still fight war and die . no shit women especially upper class(even in modern world rich people are fucking moronic and noble is even more chornic moron) would turn to shit. it kinda not shit in our world cause you know women didn't have right to rule so they really have to be competent at manage kingdom when the king go to die in a war or else they would got marie antonet treatment. imagin dark age if we were to send women to die in war as a matter of fact. it would breed degenacy in a world record.I'm no feminist, but this reasoning they have for weakening the nobles is incredibly sexist and rather offensive. It basically hinges on women being less capable at politics and power plays than men (which is flat out wrong) and how this would cause the power of the noble class to diminish. Maybe in wartime, yes, as it is still the men who fight in wars and hold the military power. But in peacetime, this makes zero sense.
...or I'm totally misunderstanding something, because sadly the chapter's explanation was incredibly badly phrased and I could only gather the above from the comments here.
TLDR: Past royals wanted to cuck the nobles by making them useless and replacing them with commoners while cucking them with wasteful wives who'd care more about their slave harems.That was too many words for something so contrived. Is there any TL;DR?
The entire history of mankind having men on top and matriarchal societies fail say otherwise.(which is flat out wrong)
