@tigerstar186 FUNA's works never really make any logical sense, you need to turn off your brain and read them
but out of the 3 i read (the others are average abilities and saving 80k gold), this one is the.... least entertaining, to say it politely
@hokujin yeah, the flashback happened right before van visited her village in the novel (it's not a spoiler anymore, right? we are already past that point)
but it's more dramatic to have flashback now that we are more familiar with talea, compared to when we know absolutely nothing about her
@Lightbrand
population in that era is decisively lower than in modern time like us
they have a whole lot more land that need to be developed
so they are seen as very precious sources of labor
more population = more development = more tax income
so this japanese work won't be adapted into a japanese animation by a japanese company because they are not considered correct from a western standard
my.... that's news to me
