Assembly lines are a good call. I can't complain about that one.

But I'm pretty sure wheelbarrows have existed since...like, the 200s AD or so. No idea about fertilizer, but that one feels like a BC-tier product, albeit at that point it would probably be associated with superstition rather than some formal process.

While, "because magic" is a poor explanation, it's not to far a reach to say that we as a tool and technological based society were forced to develop as we have because we lack system based skills and magic.

Not that the author isn't abusing the trope, but it shouldnt be too hard to see why it is a common trope.

Guys don't get so worked up so early in the manga, we still haven't arrived to the "uwa japanese food is orgasmically good" glazing, or even worse, the "we have great steel but let's use shitty iron sand to forge mighty katanas".

We already had the japanese food one, but everyone thought it was mid compared to pasta and they only started eating udon to humor him lmao

This is what we get when we teach people about big historical events, but not about day-to-day life in the past. People thinking it was some savagery up until the late renaissance.

O . o
I would go even a step further. This is the result of the intentional retardation of our society. Not in the mental health sense, but as in hindering education of large communities to better control them.

Despite having vaste information resources at our finger tips, it has been tainted and or gated by a morass of AI slop, scams, conspiracy theories, intentionally misleading or selectively edited propaganda, and paywalls.

We are lucky our latest generations even know what the Renaissance was, let alone that it was more then a setting for a video game.

That wheel on the wheelbarrel is such bullshit. Tiny wheel with intricate details and no way to actually assemble, "what if modern wheel but made of wood" logic.

Also no, assembly lines by themselves won't really help without standardized measurements and measuring tools. When you make the whole thing you match the parts to each other, but for assembly lines you need interchangeable parts with specifications, tolerances, etc.
There's some efficiency to be gained by role separation but it's not much, and it's not a true assembly line.

WHAT DO YOU MEAN WHEEL BARROWS HAVEN'T BEEN INVENTED???! its literally just a fucking cart, how did this civilization function if they were fucking carrying their shit like a bunch of strongmen.

Something something Incas something something South America something something says hello...

Hmm… deforestation. 🇮🇩

Then massive flood with extra large log trees mixed in happens. The main government giving lackluster aid and refusing help from outside the territory out of sense of pride, the local government stealing aid, the government undermine the people aid, the government keeps yapping stupid remark that hurt the affected people feelings, the government sending buzzer to say the conditions just fine and deforestation is not to blame, the buzzer brush off all the human losses as mere statistical, the government do massive silencing, the territory balkanize, then THE END.

While I'm here for the fantasy, and not for the yakuza, I do clearly see, that the MC slowly (and mostly unconsciously) builds his "family".

It is more of Mafia than Yakuza though as Mafia is family themed

Author be like:

• Dude trust me, an agricultural society doesn't know how to utilize forest soil by themself.
• Dude trust me, a society witch can build carriages will not know how to make a wheelbarrow.

Also the flour dust catching fire. I mean, flour storage is not new nor the process in which flour dust scattter in the air and it does not have to be flour, saw dust are also having this problem.

Something something Incas something something South America something something says hello...

Something something magic makes it irrelevant. Something Something enhanced stats makes it easier and faster to just carry it all in a large tub.

Not saying you're wrong that we as a non-magical society didn't build tools before Christ was a gleam in God's eye. Only that in a society where enhanced level based stats and magic are available to every individual on the face of their planet tools become less relevant and system based abilities can alleviate many of their agricultural woes.

If you really think about it, in a society with a skill based leveling system, rather then agricultural techniques, most people would blame the farmer's low level, or that they were to lazy to propperly train there skills.

Also as a side note, it seems everyone in their haste to jump on the hate train missed that fertilizer is in their knowledge base. So it's not like there isn't already a practice of using fertilizer to boost crop growth. Only that skills, magic, and alchemy made such things as composted leaves and food scraps less relevant.

Wheel barrows
and bloody hell it is embarrasing that a farmer does not know how to renew their farms by mixing the soil with leaves and poo from their animals. they ought to know that at least.
however if he did suggest to crushing bones and use that for their soil.. it would be a good idea.

This may come as a surprise to some, but "fertilizer", while reinvented a few times over the course of human history, wasn't as "common" as folks seem to think. Legit, it was thanks to the invention of "scientific farming" methods from the Enlightenment onwards. The first "major achievement" post ecological collapse [in Europe, at least] was "Crop Rotation". But modern, scientific farming practices are in fact quite a recent development. It's amusing to me how folks seem to not realize that fact. While, I imagine people on a per-person or small community basis MAY have figured SOME of this stuff out, it wasn't in the "post-Dark ages" records something commonly known. While I agree about the "wheelbarrow", the "scientific farming" is DEFINITELY a new thing. Can't say about "manure" usage, but a LOT of the development was a result of mechanization, since "tilling" was historically involved in a LOT of these practices. There's also even more recent developments that have thrown a lot of the historical "facts of scientific farming" on its head. That said, this is an example of anachronism of the readership biasing their opinions on the matter. I suggest folks look up the "history of farming" to get some better ideas. Likewise, we don't know much about the history of this world. For all we know, like ours, MANY such inventions were "lost" due to societal and cultural collapse.

Also wheel barrows didn't spread outside of China until like the 1100s. Although europeans would have been using pack animals and carts unlike what was depicted here.
