Man, soap really isn't something medieval folks didn't know about.
This trope is rather annoying

My theory is that it's because some cultures, including Japan, came up with other ways to clean themselves. Ancient Greeks and Romans used oil and scraping, for example, even though other cultures at the same time were using soap. Japanese typically used abrasive sands up until the early 20th century, so they haven't internalized the fact that soap has been around since ancient Mesopotamia or longer.

Once I realised what this was, it all came flooding back!

 

[halcer]

thank you for the new chapter!!

 

[Cobaltzero]

We covered, what? 6 chapters from the original in a third the time?

This seems a lot better paced than the original, even if I'm more partial to the original's art style.

The translation is pretty good, with the exception of one completely mangled sentence on page 33:

“The intense experience of thrown out of the mansion her maid because of her own words…”

That doesn’t make sense and isn’t worded correctly. The closest way to say it would probably be, “The intense experience of her maid being thrown out of the mansion because of her own words…”

Because the rest of the translation feels pretty natural, this one sentence really stands out as odd.

This isn't located in a Japanese style culture, though. It's clearly European style and even looks like early/mid 19th century or late 18th at most. They have all of those fancy clothes and buildings, yet aren't able to clean and wash places properly (despite everything looking very clean).

Since this is a reboot, the author can have actually fixed this issue, but why bother? The first attempt was axed, so let's make the second attempt exactly the same. Surely it will fare better. Well, half-assing fits the isekai genre, if nothing else.

I was talking about why Japanese themselves have developed such a strange idea about soap, believing that it only exists in modern day usage. I'm well aware that this is not set in a Japanese culture.

The inventing soap thing does always annoy me too, it's not like it's some esoterica. It would only take the barest amount of effort for authors to look this shit up.
