I've enjoyed reading this so far, but the translation is pretty flaky and I worry a bit that I'm missing some of what's going on. I feel like I understand most of what's going on, but that a lot of nuance may be lost.Story wise, a lot of it is in the MC's head so to speak. He spends a lot of time thinking about plans and reacting to things and not so much actually talking with people. This can leave a lot of the other introduced characters without a great deal of developed personality.Part of why I like it is because of the introduction of technology to a medieval society. The MC isn't a highschool student, but rather someone with a legitimate engineering background. It's a lot more realistic for him to have the knowledge necessary to implement those technologies. That said, I think the author underestimates the technologies already present in those societies (like smoking as a method of preservation/flavor).Personally, I like what the story has been about so far but I feel like the quality of the translation is starting to fall short. None of it is "great" but the earlier chapters ranged from "ok" to "good" for the most part. In more recent chapters a lot more is being "lost in translation".
