Isekai Kenkokuki - Vol. 1 Ch. 3

It seems like his first idea was to cut down trees and then try to grow crops in the forest soil. It's not probably naturally suitable for it. It's nutrient poor and the pH could be suboptimal. Crop rotation can be used to bring nitrogen into the soil naturally, but fertilisers are needed as well. Of course they are much better off in the village with old fields, although rain would have washed away most of the nutrients over the years. They don't have cows to produce dung. If they could find a cave where a colony of bats dwell, the guano would be a real treasure.

Tetra is waifu material. You will get headpatted someday!!! ?

 

[Randomguy01]

The main flaw to these "just farm using crop rotation" tropes is that farming is not immediate food.

Hunting and gathering "wild" food is the ONLY right choice when starting from nothing.

 

[Kaarme]

@Randomguy01 Griffin promised to bring them food for three years. If they can't get the farming going in three years, they will be doomed anyway.

"All of the valuable objects have been eaten by the children!"
*pans over to kids eating Fabergé eggs*

 

[Vannotz]

Its shitty Isekai, Dropped

 

[Ironclad]

Monkeys, wolves, lions, most insects all kill and eat their own. Pretty much any carnivorous, territorial predators do.

 

[WillTell]

So I had this idea to read some chapters again. And I can answer the question - ants. Ants love killing each other. All the various colonies of ants battle for supremacy and kill a lot of other ants. Probably more than humans ever could, if just counting the numbers.

 

[Ghostdevil]

Negotiators are suppose to start higher, starting low is probably the worst thing you could do when trying to barter.

 

[Grimmycoffee]

@Ironclad @WillTell I guess it depends in how you look at it. Animal's logic is "eat for food and safety", which makes killing for money and politic the same as killing for the sake of killing to them.

@Ghostdevil I think in a long-term situation like this, you would want to get in their good side first.
They're not some bigshot noblemen or anything, so other than griffin's support nothing stops the people from attacking them.

 

[Ironclad]

@Grimmycoffee Money and politics are just an extension of "food and safety" and even animals have higher callings. A lion that takes over a pack kills the offspring of the previous pack leader for more than immediate hunger or threats of bodily harm.

[aziez]

The dialogue feels awkward and all over the place

 

[randyrandyson]

“where is the evidence of this curse, o immortal giant bird who can translate any language through the blessing of a god?”

 

[SotiCoto]

The water is crystal clear. Must be fine.

Then a week later everyone is dead of metal contaminents in the water... or dysentery... or cholera...

 

[Kaarme]

Almus: "What did you say?"
Griffin: "They are taking the hobbits to Isengard."

 

[awlee20]

The griffin is already my favorite character

 

[Tatherwood]

Hm... Premise is good, I think. But between the average translation (sometimes weird, sometimes cringe), and the setting and pacing, it just feels stupid.
"We used to be like you, but then you arrived and everything changed. So, what will you teach us?". She was half a step from kneeling, kissing his feet and adding "oh great one, provider of knowledge". They've known for all of what? 3 hours? (Since we have no idea of how long the round trip to the city was, or to the ruins, or what happened in them).

Plus 10-12yo don't act like that... I get it's another world, but...uh...
