. . . . all medicines are poison and all poisons are medicine. . .
welp I'm pretty sure that no isekai has released any in depth analysis on winged human anatomy. . .
but welp. . .
just enjoy the freaking setting. . .
unless they do a collab or a cameo PR shared universe type of thing. . . .
and welp, drink some coffee and nibble some chocolates you'll feel better. . .x

Look it up. That example is a good example of the problems with appointing someone for the reason of controlling them.
I will admit that it would happen, but those who were offered ranks often already had a rank in another kingdom and would only take the new rank if they had something to gain or the consequences for refusing was their death. The idea of a rank being offered to an unknown mercenary was unthinkable. In fact the only time in history that ever happened was in the Roman Empire and the fall of the empire has been shown to be, at least in part, due to that.

For archery, you need to remember that war bows were not calibrated for the minimum draw weight to be effective, but as strong as was feasible. The draw weight did increase range and penetration, but was well above what would be needed for a unarmored or lightly armored opponent. That and warbows were not the norm for most of the history and areas that bows were used in war, but were more of a later (and in some ways regional) arrival, and used by people who spend their childhoods training for them which affected their development into adulthood. lower draw weights were likely the norm for most of history.
For purposes of hunting a woman who has spent the proper time training (ie : regular training from a young age) would be able to get a higher draw weight to be lethal but it depends on the level or armor as high end armor eventually reached a point even war bows could not penetrate outside of hitting a weak point, and allot of areas did not get their bows to english longbow draw weights.
Though women being bow wielders does have a basis in myths, like the Amazons in Greek myths, but really being archers would not be for military effect, but to minimize the loss of females in war, and unless they had the funds to be mounted and heavily armored a rear guard archer would be safer and still let them contribute.
Of course keep in mind people supplied their weapons, and what would be easier for a woman to supply and have a chance to be familiar with other then hunting tools like bows and spears.

this one depends on the type of novel
in wortenia senki, the MC became a baron as a measure to be detained, more or less
shield bro on the other hand, is a good example of your uncommon sense
yep. this one. this one is always something that bothers me
huh... i never paid attention to that
i thought they would always die first tbh
in other words; they are scapegoat species. that doesn't mean that they cannot fight back though
i dont even understand what you mean, but this is more or less a pyramid scheme, right??
tbf i dont see this as a common sense
not many novels i read involve these "tiers"
