[Gurgling]

Grandmother Gerda is sharp and helpful. She wouldn't be making medicine for everyone otherwise, lucky she's the one he spilled to. Lol.

i love when isekai protags reveal their thing

The "convert fantasy coins to yen" trope is the one I hate most in isekai. A farmer in a rural village told you that it's a few silver coins to buy a sandwich, and from that you've somehow managed to not only parse the entire economy of a world you haven't seen, but are comparing it to a world from which there's no direct currency exchange? It's nonsensical. You could be in a world where meat is extremely cheap, or where houses can be built with a thought, or where there's more iron than copper or where certain technologies have yet to be invented. You have no idea yet how to measure the economy. Not to mention every country will have its own currency. As far as 'younger readers' - there's no need to even explain it. Just let them learn as the character learns what things cost.

also apparently this is my 1,000th post

The only thing that would be missing then is a frame of reference for if it's a large or small amount of money. That said, you don't need to convert to any real currency to do that. Just say that a silver coin would be a normal kid's pocket money or something like that.

Also, $7 reward for killing a wolf?

There is no measuring the entire economy against the original, only a simple conversion. Meat being 100,000 yen/100g equivalent there can still be a thing, or houses crafted with earth magic are only 1000 yen a pop; there is no judgement about how expensive everything is or is not, only the equivalency to the yen for ease of understanding for the younger audience (and other idiots in general who can't understand value, I guess). It's done once and then left, with total value or specific coinage being used after that.

I actually appreciate that the protagonist is confronted with common sense in this series. Grandma Gerda is the real MVP

 

[Haezer]

He should be glad that grandma isn't evil. Had this been "Onee sama and Giant" kind of isekai, he'd surely be dead the moment he spill them secret.

 

[AnotherOrc]

Love this granny whipping the mc into shape and making him train.

 

[ZenMasters]

I'm really enjoying this so far.

 

[NSGorem]

Basically, being honest about it and its drawbacks might actually be a good idea here.

Thank you. I get so sick of MCs always going out of their way to keep their abilities secret from everyone, including their allies.

 

[popmol]

Can we skip converting isekai currency to irl currency please? To be honest that so stupid for me

i mean it an easy way to show much things are worth and how they rich they get!

 

[EchoGirl]

Like how he just immediately spilled the beans on his super isekai power as soon as he was confronted about it.

wonder if you would need 'charm' points but i wonder how many isekai protags would be like "i've been sworn to secrecy" or so

 

[TheOriginalShock]

No deadpan exposition on this. I like it a lot! Hope for more thanks for the chapters!

 

[irem01]

this soooo fun fuck why isnt there more

 

[Izaya_Onisai]

So much for the competent business man, to tell others about his obvious cheat...

 

[Seraphus]

I expected some dumbness when he started eating dog like it was normal.

 

[Kaldin]

First thing that came to my mind was Adventure Quest World and DragonFable, lol

Now that's a blast from the past. It's been a while since I last played.
