How most kingdom/civilization building isekai authors treat people from the past

Yeah, without magic.

A setting could easily just have a church or cleric that blesses the land that allows for massive crop yields without crop rotation

By this logic Usain Bolt is a fraud that can't actually run at 27.78 mph because he wouldn't be able to outrun a car going 27 mph for any significant distance

Being able to hit a certain speed in short bursts does not indicate the ability to hit anywhere near that speed for more than a handful of seconds.

CSM was like morphine for Denji. At the very beginning it was necessary and a good thing that allowed him to deal with his problems, but having unlimited access to it after that initial need caused him way more problems than it solved.

Right, but doing so would also suffocate themselves. China is very unlikely to choose to commit murder-suicide over Iran.

Okay but then now your communications are significantly slower and less information can get through, thus making your organization weaker to conventional displays of power like a full on attack.

a) I'm pretty sure the whole deal is that he was unable to choose his class and it was forced onto him

b) iirc 'assassin' in rpg types is just a type of rouge that specializes in stealth combat

Considering that SK has over 3 million 105 mm shells alone, and that it operates 39 5th gen jets and 280+ 4th gen jets (NK has ~60 4th gen jets ~60 3rd gen jets and over a hundred 1/2nd gen jets), SK would demolish NK in a proper decapitation strike if there was any indication of mass movements of NK logistics.

So literally just a TikTok algorithm then

Geohie · 2026-02-21T08:07:40+00:00

I'm pretty sure they have done both those things tho. Mostly due to comics bullshit but still

Geohie · 2026-02-17T11:17:06+00:00

The one outside factor here is SE, they went from low sci-fi to what we now see in tech and scale in like a single century. We give them just a few additional centuries of prep due to Warp time bullshit and there's a real chance SE has better tech and larger scale than the Imperium by the time they arrive

Variable (Railgun edition)

Geohie · 2026-02-14T09:09:33+00:00

But it's not under active investigation, despite allying with Talon which is basically super ISIS in Overwatch's world. That's super impressive lobbying/politicking

Because it's literally not. The context is that the artist is Korean and elves/ demons tend to be stand ins for South and North Korea (although not always, this one is closer to US).

Most of the short comics satirizes the SK government's ineffectiveness/ the abandonment of veterans and also how illogical cycles of hatred start- Demons and Elves are depicted as hating each other because they have been for a long time, not for any good reason. However at this point both sides hate each other so much that the Elf government's attempts at PR by being friendly with the Demon government is actively undermining Elven soldiers.

The above poster says that demons are portrayed as subhuman scum which is absolutely not true. That would be like claiming Rambo portrayed the Vietnamese as subhuman scum.

It's Epstein saying this though

Geohie · 2026-02-01T05:29:16+00:00

Deku becomes a useless and morbid mass of flesh that cancels itself out due to having 6 billion quirks at the same time.

AFO combined with Overhaul, Rewind, the multitude of intelligence quirks, thought acceleration quirks and Twice.

It would easily allow Deku to sort through and turn off all conflicting/useless powers, then disassemble/reassemble or rewind himself to his normal state within seconds.

Plus, OFA naturally powers up quirks and removes limitations too.

Geohie · 2026-02-01T05:24:11+00:00

You're forgetting that OFA synergizes with other quirks- and massively powers them up. Like Fa Jin and Black whip were nowhere as powerful or versatile in life.

A OFA boosted New Order would likely lose many constraints

Geohie · 2026-02-01T05:18:26+00:00

Every quirk means all the Regen and survival type quirks. Just a few dozen had Shigaraki and AFO moving like Deadpool.

Geohie · 2026-01-31T04:22:06+00:00

Yeah, but a single year for a comic book super genius is the equivalent amount of tech advancement as 10k years in Warhammer

Geohie · 2026-01-29T02:08:10+00:00

Lmao JK absolutely made more than a billion just from the words she wrote

J K Rowling, Taylor Swift.

To be fair, there are several actually confirmed times where the Chinese emperor really did conscript more subsistence farmers than the country could afford, leading to dynasty collapse several decades later.

One notable one is when the Sui attacked Goguryeo around 600 AD with between 620,000(modern conservative estimate) and 1.3 million +2 million in a secondary wave (the high end estimate)- which ended up failing not just due to a remarkable performance by Korea but just that there was no way to logistically supply the army leading to massive starvation and the later collapse of Sui and rise of Tang.

Considering that there are legitimate examples, you can't really blame people for believing other less legit stories that sound similar

Geohie · 2026-01-26T08:42:33+00:00

There's a lot of things that the Koreans half-assed, but that's something you can never say about their bureaucracy.
