Otherworld Nation Founding Chronicles Chapter 20 Discussion

The story is still in its early stages, but here's the good and bad so far:

The good part is that the story builds up very gradually. The protagonist starts off as a starving child at first, and is entrusted by a Griffon to take care of other children in a similar situation. Said Griffon provides some resources at first, so you don't have a bunch of children unrealistically building up a village out of nothing. The assistance is limited however, so the children do have to rely on their own effort, ingenuity and later trade to slowly develop their community.

Later on however, the development starts to feel a bit unbalanced, as the small village seems to have more trading power and influence than it ought to. Although the author purposely makes the protagonist not automatically knowledgeable in everything, he still seems to unrealistically know too much. It also feels like magic will start to play a bigger role, which may break the flow of semi-realistic development.

As said, we are still in the early stage of the story, so it remains to be seen how the development happens later. It's still a pleasant read so far though.
