you know, if you just don't associate with the lady that throws you under the bus, you won't get your bad end :haa: these manga sometimes... "oh yeah, I know exactly how my bad end arrives because of this 1 thing, so I will now spend all my life doing a million different things to avoid it. Why don't I just not do that 1 thing? That'd just be boring!"

I really don't like the "invent something that exist in modern day, get hailed as genius" trope, it's somehow really overdone and come off as really cheap, ngl. Like, do you really think Nobles, who wear all prim and proper clothes to appear extravagant, whose entire identity revolves around presenting off themselves as the jewels of the society would've NEVER thought of skincare and haven't tried all kinds of stuff to get rid of dry skin? Even that's fine but the fact that they let Aloevera grow around (in a mansion, btw) but never thought about using it? That just ends up making the masses ignorant and nothing more than fools just so that MC can look like a genius.

Everybody has exceedingly lustrous and healthy looking hair. Nobody has ever heard of hair conditioner. Everybody will still want to buy it. It will thus make zero difference in how the characters are drawn, but the narration will have us believe it will make a world of difference. The same with the skincare product.

I think so too sometimes, but other times I wonder "How did that 1 thing happen" like being financially dependent on that 1, or the family situation deteriorated so much that someone meddled into the house and planted that 1, etc.

"cut to the chase"
If that phrase were actually used in such a culture, it would be meaningless.

Call me ignorant about this skincare products, but is skincare something that can easily acceptable after using it once? The elf just using it once and already calling it genius idea after only a few moments of using it.

I find it funny that they always go with Aloe Vera too. We're known about its benefits for literally thousands of years. If they already have access to aloe vera plants there's no way they don't know about it's benefits.
The Aloe Vera plant has been known and used for centuries. It is a true gift from nature. Ancient records show that the benefits of Aloe Vera have been known for centuries with its therapeutic advantages and healing properties. Many ancient works including the Bible, refer to the use of Aloe. 6000 years old carvings of the Aloe Vera plant were discovered in Egypt. It was considered the “Plant of immortality” and was offered as a burial gift to the deceased pharoahs. 2000 years ago, the Greek scientist regarded Aloe Vera as the Universal panacea. The medicinal use of Aloe was already mentioned more than 4000 years ago in a collection of Sumerian clay tablets dated 2100 B.C. The first detailed discussion of Aloe’s medicinal value is probably that which is found in the Papyrus Ebers, an Egyptian document written around 1550 B.C. Egyptian queen Nefertiti and cleopatra used it as part of their regular beauty regimes. Alexander the Great and Christopher columbus used it to treat soldiers wounds. Celsius, Dioscorides, Pliny the Elder and many other writers have described the properties of Aloe Vera in their books. Now Aloe Vera is grows in many parts of the world with warm climate. It grows mainly in the dry region of Africa, Asia, Europe and America. In India it is found in Rajasthan, Andhra Pradesh, Gujarat, Maharashtra and Tamil Nadu. The nutrients make up of Aloe Vera is one of a kind and has amazing natural healing properties. Its uses are multiple and undoubtedly the nature’s gift to humanity and it remains for us to introduce it to ourselves and thank the nature for its never ending gift.

Can authors just not come up with something for their protags to invent, other than hair conditioner and skin care products?
Well, you can make all girls love you because skin care or similar product is count as "understand all women wants"

Its kinda fair excuse to getting harem. Not just "stupidly smile and the girls dead". Lol
