@boogle "Honestly, I was hoping that the story would focus more on the village he created."
Perhaps, you want something similar to "This Village Sim NPC Could Only Be Human"? It shows more of the village being developed, although it does mainly follow the struggle of the main character. It kind of switches back and forth. But even so, it shows a lot more from the village's perspective than this, even with fewer chapters.
Also, anyone entertained the thought of if their 'world' operates like a fractal, like if Farley had his own personal village/world, and it's the one the mc and others are living in?...
I don't think the religion is going to be a problem, as long as religion is not wacko with sacrifices, bans everyday items, and its only the one religion I think it will work out just fine.
Meh. People need something to believe, let em have it. Telling a human not to subscribe agency to things they can't describe is like telling a bird not to fly. Sure, not all birds fly-but most do, and for good reason.
