@koltek Unless the romaji spelling is already officially defined, I suggest you change the beast kingdom name to "Raii" (Like the back half of "Hawaii")
Although it is properly pronounced with a glottal stop ("Hawai'i"), most English speakers leave the glottal stop out, so they wind up with the...
@marshymallowy isn't there some block captain or police or city office that TL can report that shit to? That sounds seriously overboard if it's making them sick.
@Foreverhound must not be used in my part of the world. I've heard 'small fry' all my life with this meaning, but never 'small fish'. Although I've certainly heard the opposite, 'big fish'
@freakofnature @Foreverhound wouldn't it be better to use the English term with the exact same meaning, "Small Fry"? Fry in this context are another word for little fish.
@jinaikaa I think this is what we're supposed to understand, as well. Although his actions make me think he does care for Ash, but like one would care about a relative. I'm beginning to suspect that 'his lady' is Ash's deceased sister, and the mysterious pen and other mementos are keepsakes of her.

@zz2000 before 2018, it was more to the weeks side than the days side. Otherwise, he would be a lot further than chapter 116 right now. Since then, it has been less than one per month, but still not a true hiatus.
The author does seem to have some issues with depression that have slowed him down...
@Jeikob the writer is still releasing chapters at a rate of one every 2-4 months, but has been prioritizing the script for the manga. Hopefully, he will switch back to focusing on the novel once he has the script squared away, but he has never been particularly productive. At his fastest, he was...
So everyone's about 'corona-chan' and nobody's going to say a word about that goofy idol-style self-intro?
@azorth well, she's clearly a fictional character, after all...
@Liu there are probably 'merchant', 'scholar', 'farmer', etc. jobs as well. Enough categories to fill out the entire economy. Agreed that it is a hard scenario to believe in, considering just the sheer complexity it has to address, but you have to assume it's a divine mechanism of some kind...
