something happens and she ends up with him

The whole manga it's isekai cliche 101 so I guess

According to the WN/LN description it's like Spore, a series with differen "phases".
Orphan Leader -> Village Chief -> Lord -> King -> Emperor
We are still at Village Chief right now.

To add to that, I was refering to the manga version with "Village Chief". The WN version already reached the "King" stage, last time I looked.

every single 'my superior Japanese education' trope is out at full force here

The process is basically right but they fucked it up in enough ways that the end result would be shit. We found blame most of the fuckups on the manga not being intended as an instructional guide, but it still should have taken several attempts.

Even if done perfectly though, the main benefit of paper over parchment/vellum is cost, not quality.

That's actually not the case here. It's like "educated vs peasants", since former and current nobles are portrayed as being educated well enough. Also any "reforms" that Almus explains to the king aren't just simply blindly being accepted, he often has to prove it in his own village as "homework" first.

His dedication to Erica is outright scary. It's not like she even nagged him about it or forced him to do anything, it was asll his initiative.
Also, Erica just casually doing simulated duels against Klaus in her free time apparently.

They link to RR which has the synopsis. If you mean the pastebin pastebin ones, then yeah, they could use a short summary. Although most of them are oneshots/beta versions.

Which story is this from? Sounds interesting.

I mean, out of the ones we can actually see, there's only about 200 billion, those being all the stars in the Milky Way. Anything further than that are the few galaxies that generally register as a single star in our eyes.

Beyond that things are too dim or too red-shifted.

Why do most Isekai LNs either have shit translation or the translation is machine translated? Also, most translators who translates them goes MIA too. Meanwhile wuxia novels with thousands of chapters actually have good translation and manages to catch up/complete the translation.

Why the fuck did that user pick up Slime anyway? Shurim was fine.

Lots of the text in chinkshit is just nonsensical names of pills, YOU DARE, COURTING DEATH and "borrowed" paragraphs of the previous chapter.

Because most CN novel translators aren't doing it for epeen but because they like the story and read it as they TL. Whereas most isekai TL are only doing it for pageviews/donations/epeen and don't care about the story at all, hence more likely to drop it on a whim.

Because many isekai LNs also have web novel counterparts, which makes it super easy to just dump that into google translate, and try to make sense of the mess that gives you.
The people who do these don't actually know Japanese, and only want e-points, without having any real passion for translation.
Wuxia and the like are in a similar position, but because there's so many fucking chinks, some of them just want to share stories they like.

In short, there just isn't enough translators with a passion. It doesn't help that if you learn Japanese, it's only useful on a tiny backwater island, while if you learn Chinese, there's over a billion people to speak it with. Few people have the patience to learn a new language for a hobby.

This.
Who the fuck thinks a mere farmer just dragged to fight to death is going to have high morale?

I just started reading Desolate Era and the translation seems pretty good so far, unlike Summoned Slaughterer which captivated me due to the art but ended up dropping it around the 8th chapter due to how headache inducing the translation was.

can someone tell me the name of the isekai where a fantasy world dude gets sent back in time after some hardcore bullying and decides to get revenge on everyone that was kinda edgy.

I recall one of the major things about it was the dude was super bitter about basically being drugged and raped 24/7 so he decides to get drugged and raped again because ????

I'd nuke the whole fucking town, honestly.

Farmers would rather farm than go to war, in most cultures. In Europe especially, given soldiers had to bring their own equipment to battle, which was usually some old sword and armor they had lying around from previous generations, that they'd be expected to take up whenever the local lord needed to raise an army.
Rome had a standing army though, with a different military culture, and going by the way that isekai tries to frame thing, they probably want to be a not-Rome or something.

Marcus did absolutely nothing wrong.

I post it in the wrong tab. Anyway, they are mcs from Akatsuki no Yona and Moribito.

>Wuxia novels actually have good translations compared to Japanese WN

They're equally shit as a whole, but since there's more of them there are more 'cream of the crop' translations compared to amateur Japanese ones. That's an important point as well, the majority of Chinese (and Korean) novels are translated by companies actually paying TLs, whereas Japanese WNs (not LNs) are done by amateurs who just slap a few ads around the place.

Although, it's telling that one of the only attempts to copy the Wuxiaworld/Qidian format for monetizing Japanese WNs, AsianHobbyist, actually put out some of the worst garbage available. So who knows, really

I don't expect an isekai to understand how a culture or kingdom might develop.
Sparta also had a standing army, but their entire society was run on the backs of slaves, which meant every citizen could focus on not farming. That might actually be easier for an isekai author to pull off.

That user never gave it one. The one in the pastebin it's just what I felt would be a good start, "Reincarnation of a Very Common Man", but I have a shit naming sense, so take it with a grain of salt.

they do have a point though
not being able to cheat IS unfair if their results are compared with people that ARE allowed to cheat

Sparta was also almost destroyed several times due to slave revolts. They also enslaved almost all of south western Greece. Which is why they needed to be so brutal they even had a holiday where once a year you could kill slaves without any punishment. They also hated fucking women so they would shave the head of their wife to make them look like a man when they had sex for the first time at age 30.

Source? Hilarious if true, but I somehow doubt it.

From what I've heard, Spartan women were politically powerful due to the fact that they inherited everything from their husbands, and were allowed to re-marry, meaning that politically, women ran the city-state, even if they didn't actually get a vote.
Athens was scared of Spartan women, because the idea of a powerful woman terrified them so much, that they stripped Aphrodite of any of her "war goddess" qualities. And I find that hilarious.

Oshikake! Sutorippu by henreader.

Actually nice idea in the age they were living. Men were more suited for war and women for being the ones running the entire thing from the background.

answers.com/Q/In_ancient_Greece_why_did_Athenian_and_Spartan_women_shave_their_heads_before_marriage_Was_their_some_special_meaning_behind_it

>According to some historians, to help ease the Spartan groom into heterosexuality.The problem was that when the time came to do their duty to their species, Spartan men didn't even know where to stick their bits. So to facilitate the soldier's transition from gay love to straight love, brides shaved away their femininity and threw on some man clothes.As for the sneaking around stuff, Spartan men were required to live in military barracks until the age of 30, but the average age of marriage for men was 25. So most couples married, did the hanky-panky in the woods or whatever, made some babies, and didn't even live in the same household for the first few years of their marriages.

Oh yeah, the Spartans had a lot of their shit together, and were supposedly better at politics than they were at war, but they were absolutely terrified of foreigners (which included the rest of Greece) that they went about enslaving everyone and just vigilantly waited for some great collapse that never came. Instead was just the slow decline into obscurity, until the Romans came by and claimed them with the rest of Greece.

Ah, makes sense.
Less "hated fucking women", more "were too used to taking old man cock", as was the norm for young boys in Ancient Greece.

Aphrodite started out as one of the more powerful goddesses around before getting her aspects stripped away like no tomorrow. Aphrodite Areia doesn't even appear in fictions anymore.

>Aphrodite Areia doesn't even appear in fictions anymore.
I only learned about this aspect of her recently, and I've already gone and shoved her into my story's lore. Hopefully I'll actually write enough for her to become relevant.

Classic

Lies and slander.

Aphrodite is a counterpart to Innana (and not Isis, for example). She's the goddess of fertility and other things, but fertility deities were always ridiculously big dick in the pre-axial age. Even after getting nerfed Aphrodite is no joke, you do not fuck with Aphrodite (unless you mean dicking her, in which case she's all good with that).

It's more that the patron of Athens was Athena and Athena already filled the niche of stronk womyn. You couldn't well have a goddess of nearly equivalent stature that did the same thing as your patron deity.

Did you post your Homebrew at royalroad or are you still using paste in?

Its on RR

he has a link on RR
royalroad.com/fiction/23547/a-super-robot-story

>Inanna is an ancient Mesopotamian goddess associated with love, beauty, sex, desire, fertility, war, justice, and political power.
So she's just the goddess of....basically fucking everything?

Mesopotamians were so fucking dank. They practiced sacred prostitution.

>Athena already filled the niche of stronk womyn
Athena was kind of a war goddess, but only in the realm of "tactics" and "strategy", which was about as far as the Athens were willing to allow a woman in a battle. The Iliad even has a point with Zues scolding Aphrodite for taking part in the battlefield, when she totes doesn't belong there, which was probably Homer being snarky towards the Spartans and other contemporaries who saw her as a war goddess.

Then again, the entire Trojan war started because of Aphrodite, so I guess there's that?

Yeah, like a proper god.

The Trojan War started, if we're really proper about this, due to the faggot not inviting Eris to the party and also Athena and Hera unironically trying to match Aphrodite in her own divine domain. It's super OOC for Hera especially, since Hera is the goddess of marriage and NOT the goddess of being a girl. As a married woman it's unseemly to bicker over who's the 'faiest' so Hera being there at all was basically horseshit. Athena also makes no sense but Athena is a fucking retard half the time despite her 'wisdom' anyway, unlike Minerva who is actually pretty smart in the stories.

SnC told me Trojan war was just Zeus keikaku

6 chapters good for you user, how the feedback so far?

Zero of it, aside from some rant on lacking worldbuilding that avoided listing the reasons for why my writing didn't work and told me to start over.

Consider that even among polytheistic cultures, most people only worshiped one or two gods on the regular, while occasionally asking for things from more specialized gods. Inanna may have started as the patron goddess of some village or city, that took on various roles all at once, instead of splitting her into many smaller goddesses. There were still some other gods like for Death and such, but anything important to daily life was in Inanna (and later for the Spartans, Aphrodite)

This is also how the modern Abrahamic god came about. The Bible originally had mentions of other gods, and even now kinda admits "Yeah, sure, there are other gods, but make sure to worship me as your primary god!" Heroes like Gilgamesh and such were explained as being "the children of the gods", who later were demoted into "the children of god", presumably now angels. Jews eventually decided to just drop other gods, or merge them all into YHWH.

Kek, as always people complaining about what they can't do. And you are having fun?

YHWH also used to be a fertility/war god though. There's a weird correlation between having a powerful womb/ballsack and going to war in ancient religions, which doesn't seem inherently natural.
Maybe it's just the biggest things people cared about. Having babies, crops growing properly, and defense from enemies.The Carthaginian Bael-Hammon was a weather/fertility/war god too.

Yeah, training arc is basically finished.

>which doesn't seem inherently natural
Might have to do with the fact that for many of those cultures, the victor of wars tended to be determined by who has the bigger army? So a strong fertility goddess meant you'd have the soldiers to man an army?

I guess? But these deites date from a time when 'armies' didn't actually exist for the most part, armies were more like the stronger men in the village who ran off to try and steal the other tribe's women like ancient ooga boogas.

The deities in question would originate from bronze age when mostly everyone ran palace economies with the kings controlling everything. So to kings great fertility led to amassing great armies for war.

Iirc in some myths Trojan war is a part of Zeus's plan to reduce over population problem through war or something

I wish sometimes they'd put a bit more effort into the "other world" aspect of isekais. Most of the time they really don't give a shit how they throw the MC there.

I don't think Zeus wanted war this was basically Greeces version of world war 1.
The son of scheming Kronos looked down upon them in pity and said to Hera who was his wife and sister, "Alas, that it should be the lot of Sarpedon whom I love so dearly to perish by the hand of Patroklos. I am in two minds whether to catch him up out of the fight and set him down safe and sound in the fertile district [dêmos] of Lycia, or to let him now fall by the hand of the son of Menoitios."

And Hera answered, "Most dread son of Kronos, what is this that you are saying? Would you snatch a mortal man, whose doom has long been fated, out of the jaws of death? Do as you will, but we shall not all of us be of your mind. I say further, and lay my saying to your heart, that if you send Sarpedon safely to his own home, some other of the gods will be also wanting to escort his son out of battle, for there are many sons of gods fighting round the city of Troy, and you will make every one jealous. If, however, you are fond of him and pity him, let him indeed fall by the hand of Patroklos, but as soon as the life [psukhê] is gone out of him, send Death and sweet Sleep to bear him off the field and take him to the broad district [dêmos] of Lycia, where his brothers and his kinsmen will bury him with mound and pillar, in due honor to the dead."

The sire of gods and men assented, but he shed a rain of blood upon the earth in honor [timê] of his son whom Patroklos was about to kill on the fertile plain of Troy far from his home.

Well reading Hawkwood sort of makes it seem occasionally reasonable. Mercenaries will only fight when they're getting paid and even then they don't intend to get rekt.

you're looking in the wrong place.
it'd be too much effort for amateur web novels. All the other ones that actually did research for proper world building are published directly as light novels instead

It's not entirely unrelated, with how often god pantheons appear.

Problem is that mercenaries are professional soldiers who fight for gold while conscripts (levies) are literally just peasants given a spear and a thick hat. Most of these nibbas have never actually fought in formation before.

>Mercenaries will only fight when they're getting paid and even then they don't intend to get rekt.
Mercenaries fight for money, usually with immensely better gear than a shitpeasant could ever hope to gather up, and they have immensely high morale as long as they're on payroll.

Most of medieval armies were in fact mercenaries, either in part of wholly. They might not intend to get fucking slaughtered but neither do peasants and peasants are far more likely to run if they're dragged into umpteenth war given nothing but a spear and rewarded with nothing for it.

>Fran is the most followed manga on Mangadex
What?
Tensei Shitara Ken Deshita - 22,726

Are you trying to meme or something comfynigger?

The main issue is the gear
Mercenaries, warbands, and professional soldiers, since they have actual fucking equipment, won't get slaughtered like cattle during the fight, which peasant levies will, so the peasant morale will be more vulnerable to breaking just by virtue of them losing more people every fight.
Peasants don't actually want to be fighting most o the time. The loot is nice but most of them just want to go home.

Switch isekai gods from series around, how would things change?

Got a source for that?

Yeah, no, that's true.
I like the discussion, but in fantasy like isekai, gods are usually very well defined entities that are distinct and real. None of the messy and blurriness with true pantheons.

In my setting, I've taken some inspiration from animist views, and tried setting up gods as a kind of "collective imaginary friend", that all are real, with real power and all, but act more as guardian spirits, as opposed to all-powerful rulers and creators.
I've also used this quality of "believing it makes it real" to explain mundane things like the placebo effect, but the magic is limited enough such that using anything practical (beyond flukes) requires years of training and practice. There's a lot of weirdness to my magic system, and maybe I've gone and over-complicated it, really.

Someone should write an entire story about that. Preferebly one where the girls don't melt when they get too old and didn't get a semen injection.

>None of the messy and blurriness with true pantheons
To be fair, just because they're distinct and real doesn't and shouldn't stop them from being messy and blurry. They're a higher order of being altogether. I have a deity who's only a humanoid deity when she's taking on specific roles, or is in a specific locatle, or being actively worshipped by one specific person, and otherwise is just a ghostly super demon thing.

It's not even in the top 10.

>Peasants don't actually want to be fighting most o the time. The loot is nice but most of them just want to go home.
This. They're only big warriors if they outnumber the enemy and poke the guy who was snatched off his cabbage fields to death with a spear and not get poked to death after being pulled off their cabbage fields.

This doesn't seem to be a problem in this case, given that it seems the kingdom actually intends to teach their peasant farmer conscripts how to use a sword, while (seemingly) actually giving them gear to use. Pretty out of place, all things considered, but maybe this kingdom actually has a class of warrior families like all the big Bronze Age states used to, similar to European Knights?
Wouldn't make sense to call them conscripts in that case though, but can't expect nips to research this shit.

It's top 15 from what I see. He probably forgot "one of"

If they're giving them gear then it feels more like Marian legionaries. Really, I have no fucking idea. It's probably idiots reading into Machiavelli too much again, missing the fact that most reputable mercenary groups didn't switch sides because then nobody would ever hire them again, or the fact that Machiavelli wrote in a time and social setting that was approaching Sengoku era in its chaos as well as the rising viability of levy troops.

What a convenient mistake.

Reading this thread made me have doubts regarding my story. How much sense does it make for the nobles rule over certain territories to conscript peasants and give them some basic equipment (with the quality of the equipment varying depending on how rich the territory is or how much the noble is willing to spend)? Does it make more sense for each peasant to be in charge of his own equipment?

>does it make sense
As always it depends on social and economic realities of the area. The reason nobles didn't arm their peasants beyond the most basic means is because it was incredibly expensive to do so - nobles simply could not afford decent armor for their men most of the time. Remember that the European order of affairs evolved much from the Germanic order - knights were historically the armoured cavalry elite of Germania, often kin or sworn families of the King. The bulk of their forces were volunteers or conscripts using whatever armour they could find or scavenge and with weapons that were often converted tools or leftovers from previous campaigns.
Historically, peasants were often expected to bring their own equipment as much as possible. They might've been given spears, or a helmet, or sometimes a shield, but the expectation was that dad had a spear stashed away.

>hurr durr fat nobles.

I don't bother with a mangadex account since there's a shit ton that's missing from mangadex so I usually stick with mangaupdates. That said, I do rely on the top chapters on mangadex since all the new ch.1 otome shit just instantly pop up as one of the top chapters.

That's true, but I mean that's how most isekai stories end up treating gods.
Nips have kami, yet they look at the west and only see Catholicism and a monolithic view of Greek, instead of the theological mess that things really were.

Most Westerners don't understand even the Christian God let alone the bagan :DDD gods either so it's not exactly a Japanese problem. It's always 'durrr just manchildren with superpowers xd' or 'muh romanticism' with them.

Now look at Aphrodite Ourania or her other epithets

It wouldn't be that great to write on but it would more than likely be easier to make than using leather to write with.
at the start of the series most of them were literal children under the age of 10 alongside a few teenagers. But now they're all of the main cast is like 16 and over with a few actual preteen and children still around.

>yet they look at the west and only see Catholicism and a monolithic view of Greek
But muh Norse Mythology?

Aphrodite Pandemos is the best one
>Aphrodite-who-is-of-and-belonging-to-all-people
It's basically the gangbang cumslut side of her

way too expensive to arm all your peasants, especially when most of them are farmers whose taxes individually don't amount to much. looking at historical battles as a whole, local levied militias have had very little mpact on whether a battle is successful so there isn't any real reason to invest equipment in them anyways. it's more cost effective to just hire mercenaries at times of war since you're not responsible for their finances in peacetimes and they come pre-trained

The massed milita tended to have very specific uses. They were just too shit-tier to act as normal infantry and were essentially just chaff.

I'll have to give it more thought then.
My original idea was that the kingdom's "army" was composed by a bunch of smaller armies belonging to powerful nobles with their own internal hierarchies plus the royal family's personal army. Said smaller armies would be pretty much a few knights from noble families and a shitton of peasants given basic training and some basic shit like a weapon and some low-grade armor.
The idea was for the kingdom to focus on numerical superiority + cooperation instead of the individual quality of their soldiers since I wanted that to contrast with a rival kingdom which centralized its army and focused on quality over quantity.

This is more or less historically accurate. The difference is that 'low grade armour' and weapon would've been brought by the peasants themselves, because 'low grade armour' generally meant 'a really fukken thick quilted shirt, work gloves, and a thick leather cap''.

>I wanted that to contrast with a rival kingdom which centralized its army and focused on quality over quantity.
I just want to point out that this historically rarely ever happened. Centralization tends to come with size, since for smaller units decentralization is logistically more efficient. A country that could shit out an entire army of elite troops was likely to be fabulously wealthy, and a fabulously wealthy country is also almost always an extremely populous one. "Tall" is a thing that happens rarely in history. This shouldn't stop you, I just wanted to bring it to your attention.

>Most Westerners don't understand
Yeah, in my previous post I said "in fantasy like isekai", because Western writers also like to see gods as monolithic and absolute. Probably because many of them are Christian, and view their own god as a single absolutely true and unambiguous being, so surely any real god in a fantasy world would be the same.
I just bring up nips specifically because:
>isekai thread

They're also all over the place, although most of what we have now are the codified stories from the tail end of the Norse pagans. Going back, you could connect other Germanic cultures, and even look at Old English gods, where you see that Frigg (or "Frige", the wife of Odin/Woden) has basically absorbed Freya (the goddess of beauty/sex).
The one-armed war god Tyr (or "Tiw" in Old English) is also thought to be etymologically related to Zues and Jupiter.

Since China is poor, the donations westerners make through Patreon or Qidian is enough for a middle class lifestyle, so therefore professionals do it.

mercenaries are pretty important to warfare before proper standing armies were formed

Also
>the first prince isn't the heir to the throne for whatever reason

Thanks for the info, I will take into account.
This is really mostly background stuff because the actual focus on the chapters where the war happens will be on the MC doing some spy shit, but I tend to be more autistic about background details than about the actually relevant stuff.

>will be only obey their captain, and even him to a certain degree
Complete bullshit. Many bands of truly professional mercenaries were incredibly organized and of course you had utter memelords like the swiss pikes or german zweihanders in the late medieval period that got snatched up as soon as a war started.

>no discipline
They had far more discinpline that most troops at the time, actually. Even as late as the hundred years war, it was generally the knights and peasants that disobeyed orders, not the professional mercenary troops.

>can just make deal with enemy and play pretend warfare
Reputeable bands tend to not do this, simply because they won't get hired again.

>obviously take all loot and fuck up any relations with conquered population
Nigger looting and pillaging was half the fucking point of these wars, what the fuck do you think peasants were paid in? The French even had entire light cavalry divisions designed solely to run into Burgundian territory, take everything they could, and run back out.

>obviously ravage your land too
This almost never happened unless you didn't pay them.

Basically you're a fucking idiot.

together with anti rulesfag and capsclockfag, arifuretafag tried to push his shit series as being good, got told off and then resorted to calling anyone who disagreed with him a comfynigger and furry for some legit inane reason from screencaping reviews on nu bashing on arifureta saying it was edgy.
Mods refuse to ban him even when he abuses the nigger word like capslockfag.

The worst: group claim and put it hostage behind the donation paywall

It also doesn't help that most of what we have is filtered through a Christian lens so you have shit like Loki turning into a Satan analogue.
We're also missing HUGE chunks of lore, like how we basically know nothing about the Alfr since none of the surviving stories are actually about them and only mention them in passing.

Greeks said that eating a women’s pussy is gayer than fucking a guy so yes sucking cock isn’t that gay.

I can see it working. It would include various kingdoms of the world summoning in powerful hero's in order to create some weird super soldier army. It would be some sort of weird, sexy cold war arms race as the kingdoms race to create that perfect soldier. It could work as either a SOL comedy/ raunchy joke filled gag manga or some sort of weird allegory for M.A.D and the insanity filled super soldier programs that have happened before. Bonus points if the MC is female

So /his/fag, in my story, the MC is born in a small village, mostly interacting with other villages, when a war happens. The first arc mostly revolves around this arc, which involves the lord going around conscripting soldiers.
Anyways, I was planning that after the arc's conclusion (and possibly the lord's death), the MC decides to try instating a standing army, due to the anticipation of future wars. How infeasible would this be?

So that's where you got all these ideas.
Condottieri are a very specific class of mercenaries that arose under very specific political circumstances towards the tail end of the medieval period and indeed only really got going after the period had totally ended. Saying that condottieri are representative of mercenaries in general would be like me looking at Greek heavy infantry and extrapolating them to all ancient heavy infantry.

It's a combination of them being shilled on this place and the fact that they are mostly of higher quality than the standard on RR.
This is because the standard on RR. is only a bit above FF.net, but you only see the good ones rise to the top on RR.
Most of them are 4.5 IMO

Normally the chink translators only put part behind a paywall though, and remove stuff from the paywall at the same rate as they release paid content. So you'd only pay if you're a weak-willed child with no patience, or if you wanted to financially support that translator anyway.

I mean
The problem with a standing army, you have to understand, is that it was extremely expensive. The reason people didn't have them wasn't because they were stupid and didn't want one, it was because they were poor and couldn't *afford* one. The idea was to have a small 'standing army' of elite troops, and to levy massed infantry when needed, because it just wasn't feasible to have long wars with large numbers of people on your payroll. Even the Roman legions began as citizen soldiers, expected to bring their own equipment and work in the fields after campaign season ended, and post-Marian reforms they were still expected to perform civic duties when they weren't out killing things.

Now, assuming that the MC finds ways to pay, feed, and clothe these guys - because remember that a man who's a full-time soldier is a man who isn't a full-time father or farmer or carpenter or tailor - you then need to think about whether or not it makes sense to have a standing army. Because the big thing about a standing army is that it's generally unnecessary if you're not expecting attacks during non-campaign seasons or long, gruelling wars that go on through late fall and winter, massive foreign campaigns, and so on.

Lastly, and least consequentially, there's the problem of who the fuck the MC thinks he is to raise a standing army. From the noble side of things this is obvious - he's probably an upstart and doesn't have the authority to do this and nah fuck you we're not paying top arm peasantry - but even from the peasant side you might face stiff resistance. The obvious reasons aside, you might run into cultural issues. The Chinese, for example, thought of the soldier are almost the shittiest job you could ever aspire to, below farmers, fishers, and *whores*, If you tried to raise a new standing army in this sort of culture (assuming they didn't already have one) then you'd probably face incredible resistance. Just something to think about.

Depends which one you're on about

So the biggest issue is figuring out how the MC plans to accrue funds?
I think keeping the farms actually running might be another issue, if the MC intends to recruit a large army from scattered villages and and towns. IIRC, the entire Spartan citizenry were expected to act as full-time soldiers, which was possible due to the fact that all their farms were run by slaves, but that's not really doable in my scenario.
Pre-industrial age, I think it was like, what? 90-95% of the population had to be farmers for society to function? If so, I may end up having to actually make demographics for my little collection of villages and town, just so I don't have an army that's 50% of the population and everyone starves to death…

I'll have to think about how this actually works out, and the details of the post-war agreement.
The MC is kinda culturally relevant to his people, because even though he's born to a peasant family, he was born with a magical mutation that made it look like he was the child of their patron goddess. (There's also some drama about his biological dad not being happy about being cucked by a goddess, even though the MC has his eyes and stuff)

what do you expect from a nigga that leeched off another nigga who was leeching off his parents money.

No you need people that will share and give resources to others like a family without becoming a dictator like every irl communist state has become.

Other than revolutionizing agriculture (Not entirely unreasonable, England and the US both did it before Industrial farming equipment) so you can get more of a 75%-25% split, your best option is almost certainly to institute mandatory and significant militia training at wherever you are. While it's not necessarily on par with a standing army a well-trained militia is far better than any feudal arrangement that relies on largely untrained peasant levies.

Watch out for those pesky commas
Besides that, ask for callouts, readers will do it for (free)
you will get negative reviews for it tho, so get used to the classic "it could use a editor" line.

>write in RR as an esl
Don't.

>itt pampered anons

This is simply untrue, they'll only change their observable behavior if they fear you, if they respect you then they may change their actual behavior.
Fear can lead to respect however, depending on circumstances, either way, hitting them definitely isn't the answer, more long term or significant punishments are in order.

Write in your native language, faggot.

But Non, there's no site or community for this in my native language

Is English your second language? If it is, then you are.

Probably not.

If you are a spic then there are but they are cancer.
RoyalRoad also accepts non-english works but forget about getting as much views as the people writing in english.

Just post it on RR in your native language. It's international.

Yes, because english isn't your native language

Let the dude write in english, no one ain't gonna read if the shit isn't in english.

If he doesn't have a good english level, then he's only doing himself a disservice, since it'll read like a MTL.

>If you are a spic then there are but they are cancer
That's why I was asking. People that complain about Circlejerk or cringe things about the threads never experienced one of this sites.

Last time I checked it only accept English, Thailand and Japanese, thanks for that

Just needs a good editor if he has an interesting enough story.
The Croatian author for MoL is doing fine patreon-wise despite writing awkward conversations.

Unless he speaks some dead language he is bound to find readers.
If he wants to write in english then that's okay (an I doubt he wouldn't do it just because we say so), I just feel that doing it because you think you will get no readers otherwise is stupid.

>What are you asking exactly? How long a chapter should be or just how people find the inspiration to write?
Just wondering how much people get themselves to write each day. I see in a lot of writing books that authors tell people to set a goal and just write something every day, even if it's seemingly shit, to just get the words out, so I'm wondering how much people usually

>translate from russian to english
MTL wouldn't be great and fuck if I'm translating it on top of writing it.

See, that's the thing. You have to go and experience lots of things. That way, inspiration will hit you like truck-kun.
But if you're a lazy fatass, just steal plotlines from other series.
Do that until you get your "style" and "rythm" and then ignore everything they tell you about how to write and stick to yourself.

I aim for 1k a day when I write, but I haven't been writing anything atm. Probably going to change soonish as I've got an idea cooking in my noggin.

I usually just write until I feel like I can't write any further. Sometime's it'll be less than a hundred words or on occassion it'll be around 1k or more. I would suggest you ignore what the books are saying to do and write what you can and stopping at a point where you feel like you can't progress any further without frying your brains.

Pretty much, this 2k a day was really stressing me out, give it a break to think about things and now I have a lot of pieces of the puzzle in the right order

No, that's what happens when you're Neutral Evil and like seeing things suffer for the sake of suffering and therefore you deny succubi the dick after Geasing them into not touching themselves, but you shapechange yourself into have a massive dragon dick and impregnate the SHIT out of Erodaemons, to whom actually having children and being forced to care for them is more terrifying than anything else (being the personification of extinction and lost love).

Why the hell wouldn't it be?

Nope. Evil is defined (partially) as enjoying suffering. Chaotic Evil adds other qualifiers into it, but someone who wants to watch the world burn just to hear the screams isn't Chaotic Evil, just normal Evil - the motivation is, counter-intuitively, too pure. Raw, undiluted sadism or nihilism falls under NE.

Imagine for a moment a thread where you could discuss series, tropes, and conventions without getting bogged down in a hundred posts about China and twice as many about war crimes and five times as many about objectivity

Honestly I think that mostly has to do with their ludicrous population and the high education levels for their rich even in earlier periods.
There is truth to what Says as well, the foreign communities are generally very highly educated.

>Kendo is literally a sport

I know they have a statboost from Almus but come on.

I want more of them in my Isekai.

There's a fucking billion of them, it doesn't matter if only 1% are smart, that'll still be a shit ton of people.

Said "rich" aren't actually rich compared to wester countries though
Even the supposed "burgeoning middle class" has PCGDP of like, 22k. That's solidly middle income.

Only because the Yen is deliberately inflated. They're really rich in terms of buying power within their own country, it just doesn't work internationally.

Alright but they are rarely written outside of the stereotypes, which just makes them dull as shit. Evil dwarves are where its at

According to the IMF (iirc, might've been the world bank) the Yuan was actually overvalued, not undervalued. Even by PPP they're still sitting at like 30k, they're nowhere -near- Western levels of wealth.

Honestly I feel like most tropes played straight are great as long as they don't become set dressing. You can't just invoke the trope and then ignore it, you have to explore it as well.

That would be great. Most of the time Dwarves are just in the background.

They are okay, but they still aren't as ahead as WW in their model. They have a much higher average in translation quality naturally.

No I'm talking about Youjo Senki, it is the only series I know where the source material is translated worse than the adaptations, despite the manga being translated by Yen Press as well. I'd argue the YS manga translator is the only competent person in all of Yen Press.

That is the definition of a good daughter character. What you want is a gender bent self insert of your childhood and pretend your past is good writing, which it obviously isn't. You were a fucking obnoxious brat just like you are now.

They're moderately quick about translating things and - more importantly - the translations actually look like professional translations and have honorifics. I can deal with waiting an extra month to get an actually good translation.

bro

>no spoiler tags
Fuck you I was saving up, now it's pointless.

Not all of them have honorifics or whatever, it all depends. There's no set rule on how JNC translators work, it's up to the translators themselves, hence my point of it being a crap shoot with much better odds.

They are almost always total bros, really fucking strong, really damn competent, and have no stake in the fairer sex because they like their midget bearded hambeast counterparts and thus will never be competition, thus allowing everyone to treat them like a totally different species unlike say Orcs that are treated as the niggers of fantasy.

>Dwarves are hyper muscular normally since they're as strong as humans despite being smaller.
Except their muscles are bulging out so excessively thanks to their pathetic proportions that they look almost the same as fat folds. There's a very good reason midgets who build up power lifter bodies aren't remotely respected aesthetically by either gender outside of fetishfags.

Only because the local constabulary won't let an Orc within 200 yards of a playground for good reason.

>dwarf
>magitech
That doesn't sound right to me.
In terms of engineering, dwarves are like mechanical engineers. Magic is more like CS while magitech(a blend of both) is like electronic engineering or maybe electrical engineering depending on what you mean by "magitech".

Make it so he has space marine tier rage against them

I don't think you could justify genocide with slightly disliking something, you need burning hatred towards it in order to do so.

I don't know if it's really magitech, it's more like enchanted tools.
The dwarves in my setting are good at making shit as usual and their particular brand of magic is focused on using runes to enchant those creations.
They have shit like "golem" power armors.

Dorfs are often limited to enchanting items rather than straight up casting spells
When they DO cast spells they tend to be Clerics or rune carvers.
That said, Races of Stone (D&D book) says there's plenty of Dwarf Wizards - they're just in heavy armour like everyone else so nobody can tell the difference

DELET

That makes sense. It's like making analog electronics but using mana instead of electricity.
How do they feed mana to these tools?

I haven't come up with a detailed magic system yet but for now the idea is that the user must supply his own mana (or some object filled with mana, I might introduce mana crystals to tie with the "dwarves are miners" thing).
Meaning that enchanted objects ultimately depend on your own magical reserves so it's not like some faggot peasant can take a powerful object and use it to murder a powerful dude.
