It's sad that these chapters are split up so much, this manga is great
The most frustrating thing is the way they're split up. Assuming this isn't the translation team, every Japanese manga with split chapters has no idea how to do so in a reasonably pleasing way - they're literally stopping mid-chapter, usually cutting off mid sentence, rather than feeling like an actual release. It'd be better for the audience to just juggle between different series than do this stuff, in my opinion at least.
I wonder what the Japanese think of it?

Pg 8, I know that the humans in this world are bad, but they must be really bad for both elves and dwarves to choose the demons over the humans. They have no allies. How have they survived until this point?

It's so sad how fast you can read these.
I'll have to go check on the novel again.
Hope it's still being updated.

Numbers, brute strength, and hero summoning would be me guess.

demons and co aren't really aggressive. remember the premise of the story: humans have to give a "sacrifice" every so often to appease the demons... until we learn demons see it as a special guest type situation, like exchange programs. they aren't trying to kill the humans, they just let them do their thing, the humans are the ones with the weird ideology of being the victims.

I think that might be a function of how the Japanese language and conversation flow works. You see "I've heard of that before/I've never heard of that before" responses a lot when someone introduces something or brings up a new topic. Almost like its required that you state whether you known that thing or not even if the answer is obvious. Kinda like how when someone wants to know more they don't ask a question like "what is it?" And instead parrot back the what the original person said like when Thor said he made a new material while working on something else and Lucie responds "chapter new material was made during item production?" . It sounds weird to us in English but seems like it's the normal way to do things in Japanese.

Might be because of the way manga magazines work. I don't know in which magazine this one gets published, but if they work like the Weekly Shounen Jump (which is arguably one of the worst ways for a Manga to be treated), releasing long chapters with low frequency would be the death of the series.

My guess would be that this mangaka only gets exactly twelve pages per volume but has to produce these twelve pages for EVERY volume. Direct-to-Book Manga don't have that problem.

With how humans have the extreme sense of heirarchy that led to Thor being the sacrifice, I could easily see this being one of those "human supremacy" situations where humans have no allies specifically because they push them all away as being "below" them.

Usually when it comes to manga like that, humans either have some kind of cheat ability the other races don't (skills, summoning, divine protection, whatever), or the demihumans (elves/dwarves/etc) are based around traditions that don't allow them the rapid technological research/advancement that humans use to come out on top.

I think we can infer that human society is centered around militarism, and thinking of demons as man eating monsters is a result of propaganda meant to dehumanize demons that's gone on so long nobody remembers that it's BS anymore, not even the nobles whose ancestors started it. And with the limited exposure between nations, there hasn't been much chance for the lie to be exposed.
