“... so small!”
“Well, of course! I was sealed in a sword... how big did you think I’d be?”

"... so small!"
"Well, it's cold here..."
@Lili49545 There is one reason that comes to my mind - author is using it to make writing mc's lines and thoughts easier. If mc had been native to that world, author would have had to avoid using modern terms and cultural references when it comes to Davi's speech, or to come up with other ways of making mc culturally closer to our world. Maybe author was afraid of "making a slip of tongue" somewhere along the story or just generally didn't want to bother himself with it.

I really like this series overall, it's of pretty high quality compared to some others, and the plot points and characters are interesting, but there is one big flaw with it that I do not like, and it shares this flaw with quite a few other isekai.
And that flaw is, it doesn't actually need to be an isekai. He uses zero knowledge from his life in 'our' world. All of his value and strength and ability comes from the thousand years of training in the hall of heroes. And that's fine, that's great, that's a good story. But it did not need to be an isekai. This story could have started exactly the same way it did, and played out exactly the same way it has, without the isekai part.
There are other isekai that are guilty of this, stories that just incorporate the isekai aspect of it without ever actually needing it. And that honestly kind of bothers me, because to be completely honest, most of those stories, this one included, would be better off if they WEREN'T isekai. It's an unnecessary and pointless detail. Sometimes I get the feeling like writers are just using the isekai as a chapter 1 or prologue to their story because it's easy or because they don't feel confident in having their own opening. They should be more confident in their own openings. Hell, have it be a cold opening or an in medias res, those are fine, not enough stories use them, they work great. Not everything has to start out as an isekai.

@Lord-Raine
But this webtoon isn't an isekai, he was a native of this world and had a "brief" experience in some sort of throne of heroes where he got trained, and then returned home.
An isekai is a story about getting sent or reincarnating in another world, this ain't it, at much this is a returner story.

he got tiny waifu
1. This story is an isekai
2. Sword is a dude, this demon lord lady is someone that the hero w/ the sword had adopted (when she appeared human), taught his sword arts, she apparently used said sword arts against humanity, so the hero w/ a sword had to set out to seal her (basically killing his adopted daughter in a sense).
