It's always baffling to me when fantasy works will basically say nothing has changed in the world for 10,000+ years or w/e. Like just because someone can yell to make fire happen or dragons exist people would never innovate even just in way to kill each other better. The reality is you'd get weird poo poo with magic mirror mass accelerators but no germ theory bc lol just cast esuna nbd
Having the Demon King murder nine tenths of the living now and again is a good way to explain relative stasis but you'd still have heavy diversity in rediscovery and you would get novelties along the way.

Tensei Slime and Helck actually have some fairly good explanations for thisin the form of cosmic purges by angels and eldrich beings respectively starting with whoever is most tech advanced.

Yeah it's not that you can't write how a reset happened, or keeps happening, it's just tiresome when it's followed up with "...and then we forgot essentially everything, and everything progressed along the exact same path as last time, and is now threatened at the same point in societal/technological development" without getting into why that would be the case.

I dunno about that stuff, but I do recall playing Hate+ where the foreword basically said "This may take place in space, but it's based on real stuff from Korean history only I had to tone it down to be believable." in terms of just how much knowledge can be lost when a culture has dark ages and purges etc. you don't always need an outside source for these things.

Also when the Romans fell, it took us a millennium to reinvent "Tie a knot in a blood vessel to stop it bleeding"

Generation ships going to hell are always fun stories, but it's also convenient to tell them since the people are isolated in such an extreme way.

I don't know about tensei slime but this kind of idea Always works best for me when sci-fi and fantasy are mixed together. I'm a sucker for the characters finding an ancient ruins and it turns out to be the land of tomorrow.

I think he's asking if this character has a pseudo-penis and whether she gives birth through it.

Edit: this was a joke. I'm sure the comic's fine.

:wtc: She makes this guys favorite food and asks if he's in love yet. This artist also doesn't do those kind of fetishes so the best read is simply these two are going to be very intimate. Y'all are weird.

I think Hirayasumi is my favorite slice of life right now. Nice soft lines and a comfy general setting that isn't falling into the trap of leaving everything in general stasis. Characters are developing and moving forward. Hits that early 30s, late 20's "I need to figure out what I'm doing with my life for real" existentialism pretty well.

This looks like a cover I'd find on The New Yorker or something. I like it.
