ok read

Searched specifically for the light novel and found this listing. Nothing on the page indicated it was a manga until, upon receipt, I dug into the reviews.Very upsetting that it was not made clear what format this was.

This is a delightfully funny series, light-hearted and fun, with a strong focus on village construction, relations with other nations and examination of various fictional cultures. However, this series' translators have made some severe errors. In the first volume it was fairly minor, such as translating Ru's declaration that her aging down to junior high in the daytime was a message to "show some restraint" as her saying "treat me special". This one, they've had some that don't make any sense at all. For instance, when Beezel approaches Frau about the princess launching an invasion and asks if they should tell the village chief, she comments that the dragon Hakuren would likely hear. The next thing she says is, from the original Japanese (obtained through Bookwalker), roughly "the royal capital could disappear if that happened". Somehow, the translators replaced "she might wipe out the capital" with "or maybe the elder dwarfs". Worst part is, Beezel's response is clearly to the correct translation, as he gets shocked that the capital could disappear. I can forgive minor errors here and there, but honestly some of the problems here just feel sloppy.
