Do you remember how much the material only available to nobles costs?

Here is why Myne couldn't—and wouldn't—just conjure a paper press or tools out of magic:

• No magic access early on. When Myne first invented plant paper and started her printing workshops, she was a commoner. She had no magical education, no magic ring, and no schtappe (wand) to shape mana into physical objects.
• Basic mana survival. At that stage in the story, she didn't know how to control her mana at all. She was just trying to compress it so it wouldn't kill her from the Devouring.

• Temporary constructs. Objects shaped directly from mana using a schtappe disappear as soon as the caster stops channeling mana into them or dismisses them. They are not permanent physical items.
• Permanent magic tools require rare materials. Creating lasting Magic Tools requires expensive feystones, specialized brewing ingredients, and complex magic circles. Even then, they still consume mana to operate.
• Creation magic (Entwickeln) is massive in scale. The ritual magic used to build permanent white buildings and ivory structures requires an archduke's authority, massive amounts of mana, and doesn't make intricate, moving mechanical parts like gears or metal type.

• Mana requirement. Magic tools only work when supplied with mana. Commoners—like Lutz, Benno, the orphans, and the Gutenberg craftsmen who actually run the workshops—have virtually no mana and cannot operate magical equipment.
• High cost vs. cheap books. Myne's ultimate goal is to spread books everywhere at an affordable price. Using feystones and noble mana to run a printing press would make books vastly more expensive than parchment, defeating her entire purpose.

• Hiding her mana. Early on, Myne had to hide the fact that she possessed noble-level mana so she wouldn't be kidnapped, enslaved as a mana battery, or executed.
• Avoiding noble monopolies. If printing relied on magic, the nobility would instantly monopolize it, keeping books out of the hands of commoners forever.

The seyuu for that character has huuuge honkers.

>>292206346
Because even if she knows that the printing press exists, she does not have the engineering knowledge to make a working one.
That's why she had to hire actual craftsmen to design one instead of just giving them the finished plans.

>>292206346
because she started making one when she was an unbaptized loli (according to the nobles) that didn't have access to magic and would faint after walking for a minute.

Later:

Intelligent manablade that can talk and teach and record things for you.
Copy and place to copy books, and magic circles, and scrolls, and embroiderings (sorry Ferdinand).
Lets put several audio recordings of your favorite idol in a plush toy (Elvira would kill for that one).
Note paper that can play a melody written on it (sorry musicians, but I need to think about paper sales - how about you start writing tales?).
Cute fully automated shumil librarians that can manage a library by themselves. And handle ruffians that talk too loud in the library.
A borrowed book is due? Don't worry, it will teleport back just in time (but you must pay the late teleportation fee).
Your workplace is full with reference tomes and scrolls and notes and you need to tidy up? Don't worry, they will teleport back into their shelves.

And she didn't even finish school...

She turns her shtappe into a printer shape shortly after getting one, but realizes it wouldn't really work. She could make magic tools that do a lot of the shit she wants, but they'd require mana and thus not be practical or easily accessible. Creating books is a means to the end, not her goal.

The press is useless without the little letters. She would have to create photoshop and a word processor if she wanted to use magic to make the press and tools out of magic.
Also the white stone needs to be repowered every year, out of memory. It sounds super inconvenient and I think that the writer just wanted to limit the use of the stone somehow. But it works less, the more you look at it. All the stone? Every white stone building? Every sidewalk? For everyone, everything, for all the dutchies, over all the kingdom, every year? Dumb idea.

Her goal is reading books, not creating the entire printing industry. She only creates the entire printing industry because there isn't one there.
"How do you know she's a noble?"
"She isn't covered in ink like the rest of us."
Myne lives off of the suffering of others. Lutz, her chefs, Johan, Benno, and Ferdinand. Anistasius, Detlinde, and more Ferdinand.

We never get Myne making nude statues out of white stone to sell, knowing that they'll vanish when they run out of mana. If a handful of pixie dust makes a building, can a pinch make a hollow statue? It's just disintegrated faystones, like the sort she can buy from squirrel killing hunters in the lower city.

>>292206493
Proofs?

>>292206346
She managed to make a watergun, so she tried make a printer but it didn't work.
She needs to know every nook and crany, how it works, and concrete image.
So, if she tried harder, she could make the ones her Gutenbergs made.
It will cost obscene amount of mana, though.
And probably would only work on feypaper... or would the Book give the papers for that? Ferdinand used his as notebook.

This is explicitly explained in the books here.

Also thanks for a Honzuki thread, I don't know how I ended up obsessed with this series for the last 2 months.

>>292206346
You can't. For the same reason that nobles order furniture from commoner craftsmen. You can't create things with magic that have moving parts. The only thing they can make are buildings, that can only remain standing as long as they are hooked up to the mana grid.

In addition to this guy's explanation for how 1. you need to have a perfect mental image of a thing to hypothetically make a new schtappe transformation out of it, and how 2. if a thing has already had a spell made for it you HAVE to use the original trigger word the first guy 'cemented it' with in the eyes of the gods - fanworks have actually explored this sort of hypothetical pretty extensively.

Just think about it: making a press out of a schtappe would be possible for only nobles with extensive training, would require constant mana upkeep for however long they stayed manifested, and would require the constant presence of the noble themselves, very few of whom have the time to spare on being living infrastructure and even fewer of whom would be able to constantly interact with folks.

Same deal with the hypothetical where you make magic tool versions of them - frankly bookworm's brewing system is stupidly underexplained so you have to make assumptions here, but at the very least it's safe to say macing a press and all its component parts through magic means would require hefty amounts of very mana-expensive raw materials, and tons of time on a noble's end to brew, on top of functionally relegating them to the same position as Johann (overworked production bitch) and again requiring constant mana input if you wanted any level of automation to the end product.

The most realistic use of this sort of thing is in R&D - which is my opportunity to highly recommend trying out the fanfic 'Herald of Spring', especially for light novel devourers like this guy >>292208958, and even if the word 'fanfic' makes you throw up in your mouth a little. It did to me too initially but it's legitimately a fantastically written retread of the timeline featuring a +1 protag what actually delves into using magic and magical materials to somewhat cheat the development of new technology, while also finding out why the results of that are usually gonna be mixed.

What's her IQ?

>>292208961
>can't create moving parts
Could you use magic to make the shaft of a drill, and just slot it into a manmade wooden frame? What about the two grinding disks of a flour mill? OK, it wouldn't make books, but could Myne (or Lutz... or Heidi the ink specialist) just toss in a bucket of walnuts and make ink?
Myne doesn't need to use magic to make books. All she needed was a basement of starving peasant orphans, the universal solution for everything, says Earth.

>>292209591
CC3, Fanbook 9, 10 translations never. I guess we pray HY5 V4 WN is done soon at least.

>>292209548
Eh, I'd rather just learn nip if I have time. Reading and re-reading already took a shitton of time (because they're legitimately like 2-3x as dense compared to other LNs I've read), and the re-read actually felt pretty rewarding (plus the anime skips so much). I still don't even know how I survived the first season of the anime since it was boring to me, but I figured if it got 4 seasons it was worth churning through it and it was.

HOOOOOOLY...

But can Myne use magic to cure this pedophilic murderous ditactorship?

>didn't made
Why can't people write proper English in the year of our Lord 2026?

>>292210307
Plenty of people are still learning the language
Burgers included

>>292210315
I feel like this mistake has been ingrained into the language so deeply at this point that it might actually become the "proper" way to conjugate.
I remember it being a joke with the "did he died" response years ago, but somehow it now has become the standard.
I guess I have become old enough to see language change for the worse right before my eyes.
Speaking of "worse," there are also a lot of people who confuse "worse" and "worst" somehow.

>>292210347
>people
This is incorrect. If you make a single mistake you are not human.

>>292210347
>"did he died"

I hadn't thought about this but you might be on to something, maybe memes really are making people dumber in real time.

We speak English on this board. Come back when you do as well.

there is another HUGE PLOTHOLE
with Myne being so sexy, how come she never got raped??

>>292206346
She's not a trained wizard. She hasn't been to magic school. Also she doesn't know the precise construction which is why they went through multiple prototypes.

>>292210501
>Myne's parents find out that she's a bodysnatching isekai
>Gets kicked out
>Gets "adopted" by the most animalistic black men

>>292210176
She's not a genius but she has that autistic IQ where she's definitely above most people. Also even with 20 years of studying, the standards and backwards logic in Yogurtland makes a lot of it a disadvantage because she has to unlearn her common sense half the time (not like she has much anyways).

she's myne

>>292209591
Probably like 90 or whatever the average SEA IQ is
I've never seen her best anyone at mental challenges and she gets vague ideas from either a book she read or some other source, anyone can do that these days with Youtube
She hasn't made anything original and has overreliance on her magic and her craftsmen friends/peers to do everything, which they likely have around 100 IQ / average
She doesn't act like a glowie nor has any incentive to explore the limits of magic or science in that world, and fails at handling other people wthout Ferdinand tardwrangling her
She just likes the concept of books general, kind of like a kid who likes science due to "cool explosion stuff" not necessarily that they understand set theory or physics

>>292210675
IQ is relative to the population though, and the population in her world is pretty fucking retarded. Also she does have some feats like the first year treasure stealing ditter where she makes a game plan with a much inferior force and wins. And she's actually pretty decent at manipulating people.

>>292210656
No, she's Rozemyne.

>>292210753
Yes I'm basing that on their population, there's a difference between retarded and uneducated
An American physicist wouldn't be able to construct a single coherent paragraph in Japanese by themselves without studying the language, but likewise a Japanese with down syndrome would be able to
Those blueprints she bought from the craftsmen, she could've made it all by herself if her IQ was a little higher especially that she's the one who's read all about it
And she also wouldn't need Benno or Ferdinand to mediate for her, and most of her accomplishments are from being mentored by midwits like them specifically
Some of the nobles might skew your perception of the average IQ in their world. But like politicians in the real world, they're just plain retarded

>>292210920
She needs Benno and Ferd because of autism. Also the blueprints need to reflect the skills and tools of the era which she really cant know unless she joined and worked in a trade (and why she could only get one smith to make her letter blocks for a few years). Plus the main reason that she doesnt give a fuck about engineering herself when someone else can do it for her while she reads.

>>292211002
I'm not just talking about social situations, but even regarding managing her own projects and simple decision making from her position, nothing to do with autism exactly
Also anyone can make any blueprint if they've got ideas regardless of their profession, it's not something you need ask people to make and to buy from them unless you're less than a midwit and can't think for yourself
It's faster, easier, cheaper and more convenient to just hand people the blueprints and expedite the process instead of being spoonfed by others' blueprints
Especially like today with CAD or some vector software, that some 3rd world with an 80 IQ could easily make blueprints by themselves
Signs of a lower than average IQ is having to outsource simple thinking tasks the average can do, which she has shown multiple times in the show
Not saying it's a bad thing though, girls are cute when they're a bit on the tarded side, and in Myne's case I can be more lenient with her especially that she's in a child's body therefore child's brain

>>292211002
>>292211106
you could prolly give ferd or benno that task and they could do it themselves really, a typical white and blue collar worker handles far more complex tasks than drawing blueprints.

i think the best argument for myne here is that she wants to let them shine instead of taking their spotlight and to reward them. anyone can figure out how to make blueprints that even barely literate borderline retarded people can do them. so it's not an argument saying that myne can't do it or doesnt give a fuck when it's her passion project at stake here.

Didn't Myne draw a blueprint and describe what she wanted as best as she could and give it to Zack so he can make a proper blueprint?

>>292211303
Yeah she did a bunch of blueprints as a commoner, but stopped once she was a noble and delegated instead.

>>292211267
>>292211303
I dunno how this got derailed to blueprints but that's not the only thing that was telling
In general, the author really wanted to portray her as somewhat of a needy child dependent on other people unlike with other reincarnation shows, and that also affected how her capabilities and decision making skills are portrayed
Her accomplishments are mostly from either being mentored into doing something or having others help her think about concepts from her past life, instead of improving and improvising with something else
And with that she relates more to midwits and below, as opposed to geniuses and inventors

>wanted to portray her
She's a sickly child for most of the story.
And if she could, she would spent most of her time in bed or desk reading.
Delegating is something she learned, first from Otto, leading her to taking Lutz, then Benno, who shows her how to use workshops. When she become a noble, she started to orders merchants. When she 'become' old enough, it's nobles she had to orders around.

>>292211441
yea but that's got nothing to do with iq, iq is like hardcoded into the mental capacity of a person

if she was truly high iq she could solve problems by herself regardless of help or prior knowledge and she would be seeking knowledge instead of being a pretentious /lit/fag

put some other smart isekai shonen in this show and watch them reverse engineer magic itself in a couple of years or something

>>292211411
>>292211494
Tbf most books are made by dimwits so the people who read them just gets assimilated to their way of thinking. There isn't a "you must be at least this IQ to write a book" requirement at all. If you don't believe me just take a look at paid influencers who write books as well as the current garbage education system lol
