I have to ask is the WN just as strange as the manga?
I meaning the hyper fast pace of everything and how apparently NOT strange it is for 6-8 year olds to be traveling alone or why the elf mother tried to delete a 8 year old on instinct or is she also a giant!?
Im asking because if the WN is just a better version of the manga I might just read it instead.
in my opinion, the WN indeed describe thing better and WN skipped a lot of content, thats why some of the context in the manga is unclear and kinda not make sense
for example, in the WN its described that the fight between mercenary brought by the slave trader (before cyrus interfere), is actually a competitive rival, thats why they didnt kill each other and only resort to KO-ed each other, they are not really an evil person just mercenary for hire
the WN also add some more trivia and reference to what happened in the story, tough the aspect about 6-8 years old traveling around is not changed and indeed thats what happen, the manga for some reason did not really explain when there is time skip, thats why you can see the MC jumped age all over around
