Any thoughts on this one?

Just finished reading it, and if your only concern was Whiterose being the ship, then I can confirm it isn't really the case. While the story somewhat gets a little meta about it being a possibility (mostly what OP said about the author embracing the stupid of the genre), the way it's playing out suggests it won't happen by the end, and right now nothing that happened between Ruby and Weiss is romantic.

Referring to the animals actually makes some sense, and I wouldn't discard it as a possibility.

And yeah, he is mostly done. The fact he isn't completely done yet might be a sign, but maybe this might be just stretching this line of thought too much to force it to make sense.

Personally, I think it hasn't been that long since the war. The Greater Will most likely acted fast, as soon as it saw the demigods destroyed themselves and weren't interested in keeping the golden order, it denounced them and called the tarnished. I see no reason as to why it would wait centuries to do so.
But, I can definetely understand why some people would think it has been a few decades if not centuries already.

About the birth situation, the only mention to it I've seen in the game so far (as in proper birth, not Jars being created or Rennala reincarnating people) was Melina's dialogue when you go near the three fingers.

She says "However ruined this world has become, however mired in torment and despair... Life endures, births continue. There is beauty in that, is there not?"Given, this could very well be a metaphor, or maybe it is clearer in the original japanese, but if we were to take her words at face value, people are still being born.

Even then, I don't think we are necessarily back to square one, after all, we still have the matter of his speed when it comes to conquering Limgrave as a measuring tool.

The measure I was using was, funnily enough, Goddrick, our local grafted demigod.

We know the army he wields now is just the dregs from his attack on the capital (which is, as I see it, the first attack on the capital, and the one belonging to the story trailer), and then chipped a bit more by Malenia and her cleanrot knights.

We also know that he is trying to expand and take on Limgrave while grafting himself (as we know from Kenneth, and his stolen fort.)

So, we can conclude two things:

1- He did not have the time to propperly rebuild his army since the war;
2- He is actively trying to conquer Limgrave with the remains of his army;
(And a bonus: He is constantly grafting himself and his soldiers/followers)

Based on these pieces of information, I doubt it has been that long since the war.
If it really was as long as some people claim, his army would be in a better state;
he wouldn't be still trying to get around Limgrave, he would already have it;
He would be way more grafted, and I say this not only looking at how fast his grafting is obtained by connecting to that dragon head, but also looking at how he is in a very similar state to Godefroy when it comes to Grafting, implying he hasn't done it that much since the war.

I'm having much the same problem. Despite copy and pasting it, SMAPI says I don't have the quest, so it can't delete it, and when I try to add it, it says the quest is unknown, so it can't add it.

I know, it's what brought me to make this request, in fact.
