Added 2025-07-20 09:24:26 +0000 UTCOkay, I should be able to post tomorrow... hopefully.
However, in the meantime, I have some homework for everyone!
Please list at least three reasons Shana might be an isekai and why.
What do you think Taeclas' occupation was before she come to this continent and why?
What do you think is the timeline of the world?
Describe what Lori looks like according to the story so far?
Except for 'Vov' (too easy), where does every named character's name come from?
Where would you put Lori on the D&D alignment grid and why?
What 'cute girls doing cute things' character is Shana most like, and why is it Akemi Homura?
Bonus: Who would know where the metal ships are?
Have fun!

1.) - Child having really strong powers she got basically by coincidence/default. - Conveniently on the only place where a child can be a leader of a large community - Aura farming permanently 2.) Taeclas obviously worked as a Lumberjack, and carried out a rightheous crusade against trees 3) it s all a dream, Lori will wake up in the 1000th chapter, and realise she fallen asleep on her economy lecture 4.) Tall, flat, tomboyish. Has brown hair in a style that you get when u pay 2$ for a Wolf-cut. Some muscles, evil eyes, probably expressive eyebrows 5) Lori got her name because she is the result of a steamy yuri romance story. Rian got his name after Ryan, the Isekai mc 6) Probably Lawful Neutral, she created her own laws with some hints of chaotic and some evil mixed in. Idk much about the alignment chart tho so idk 7. Not enough information to answer Bonus: anybody with big enough magnet
Lecture Filler
2025-07-20 20:21:50 +0000 UTC1. First and most important, she thinks threatening (and trying) to kill herself so another Dungeon Binder will help the people of her Demesne is something Dungeon Binders should do. While of course Dungeon Binders can do what they want, this hints at a deep mental problem. Not wanting to be a Dungeon Binder and, worse, putting the life of a Dungeon Binder on the line to save idiots that pee in their own water supply, hints to a deeply egalitarian mindset similar to Ryan. Who is very smart and capable, just like Shana, but it stands to reason that similar to Ryan Shana can only have gotten this stupid outlook on how the world would work from being an isekai like Ryan. Her parents were from the Militia after all and therefore she grew up surrounded by strict hierachies. Second: She is not paranoid about other wizards trying to kill her and claim her Demesne. Even though there was already an attempt on her life, though not by a wizard directly, she still is disturbingly unworried. This must mean that she has misconceptions about society from her previous life, where violence was such a far fetched thing. Third: Her being an isekai just fits PERFECTLY with the average isekai story: -Tragic backstory but upper class background (wizard parents, but both died tragically to protect her, Uncle jealous of her parents tries to make use of her after their death). -Unnaturally gifted by birth and then just handed exceptionally rare things like its nothing (being a savant and just happening to become a dungeon binder). -Having memories of a past life in a world without magic. -behaving like an adult even though they are a child and nobody thinks anything about that is weird -taking a strange, enigmatic, powerful and exceedingly capable but weird person as their role model for "this is how this profession should be, that must be the common sense of this world" and then funny situations arising from that because her "common sense" of the new world is completely out of touch with what is actually common sense in that world 2. Caring for the trees in the research lab of some powerful people related to some dungeon binders doing forbidden research to create AI (Arboreal Intelligence). But those always went genocidal, hence her inherent distrust of trees. After all, any tree that has developed sapience has been inherently evil so far. 3. I dare not presume to say how the basis of civilisation came about, if the iridescence is omnipresent, however it was stated somewhere I think that dragons are found on many planets (or at least not unique to this one). But at some point humanity reached a level of civilisation on their home planet similar to what is happening on the planet Lori and friends are on. Then they continued until they got spaceflight and when this planet was to be colonised something went wrong and a lot of technology went lost. The likely scenarios are either some technical fuckup during the travel or atmospheric entry, the planet being surprisingly hostile, maybe having a lot more dragons or something, and the colonists almost being wiped out, or third, the most likely option (because it is the one where I actually have first hand experience so I can actually say that it could definitely happen while the rest is pure fiction): schism and war between the colonists, plunging their civilisation into a dark age, because humans will pee in their own water supply unless actively prevented from doing that and that is both literal and metaphorical for how destructive to themselvs they are. And then civilisation rebuilt, with having some myths about coming from the stars and possibly a LOT more secret knowledge kept from anyone but dungeon binders. So many lies have been identified by Lori already about how the world supposedly works after all. 4. I don't remember any descriptions of her specifically, since it has been a long time since I read the first chapters the last time, but I always think of her as having brown, curly hair, roughly shoulder length, always a bit frazzled. And she has biiiig bags under her eyes. 5. Lori's rocks. Either they don't need names, or whenever the name is needed it will be taken from Lori's rock. Then after it was needed it can safely be forgotten again. Trust the rock. Well, and the rest of names come from our world, because they are the names of the isekais like Ryan 6. Lawful evil: Lori's drive to become a Dungeon Binder was so that SHE is the absolute authority. While she is perhaps wilful in her wants, she is very much inflexible in how she views the world. Her perception of society follows certain rules and she does expect everyone to follow those rules. Other people are in the end mostly a means to an end for her, except for VERY few people she actually cares about, like her mothers it seems. And the laws she declares, she follows them herself. And if a situation arises, where her law states something that she does not actually want it to do, like Ryan (who is an isekai) recently pointing out about children perhaps doing something that would require them to be punished, which would then break the laws protecting children, she does not bend the laws. She outright thinks about how to change the law, because you do not bend laws. No one does, not even dungeon binders. The law has to be correct! To be fair, Lori really has a duality of alignments: One pertaining to everything concerning the continued survival of civilisation, I would even say lawful good for that part, and the other part pertaining to everything else, like parties with music when she wants to sleep. That one is definitely the lawful evil one, but with concessions made when she can be convinced a matter could instead be counted as benefitting survival. 7. Yuuko or Mio from Nichijou Bonus: Assuming they are not destroyed: Some dungeon binders of the old world. And if they are sapient, the dragons. Oh, a caveat concerning my second and third timeline theory: the metal ships might also all be left on the new continent, after the initial colonists had to flee and no one knows their exact location but one drive of the old world to go to the new continent unbeknownst to the average person is that the binders of the old world want to find the metal ships
