The mystery novelist Suzuki Ichiro regularly promotes his novel lectures on Twitter, citing a sentence that was mentioned in the lecture:
The reason why light novels choose “different worlds” to make materials is mostly “because there is no need to check the information.” So it’s easy to stand out from the crowd. Just go and write “A detailed investigation of the different worlds of the background”. Check your own affected light novels

Suzuki’s remarks have caused dissatisfaction among many light novel writers and readers. The online novelist Shenzhou Tang ridiculously said: I am very interested, how did you investigate the reason why “light novels choose ‘different worlds’ to make material, mostly because of the fact that ‘because there is no need to check the information’.”

Many authors and readers are indignantly saying that they must create a whole new world from scratch, and there is no reason to investigate data. If you are really too lazy to investigate the information, then it is not more convenient to write your own school or workplace? They even think that Suzuki said that he is looking down on fantasy, looking down on light novels, and making a big splash
And the senior light novelist Yuichiro is in favor of meticulous evidence to make the work stand out. However, he believes that after checking the information, he has to make choices based on the concept of the work. A work is real, and it will not be so exciting
榊When writing a different world of fantasy, many aspects, such as food problems, toilet problems (health), clothing problems, and information problems (including printing technology and literacy rate), if written too Really, as an entertainment work, it will be difficult to read, so he often has to make adjustments. For example, in the middle ages of reality, when pigs are kept in towns, the family will dump the excrement on the road
In addition, I have read that the civilians in the past seem to be sitting in a chair and sleeping. The bed is a noble furniture, and it is not true or false. This is the same, unless you have to write about the bedding or the surface of the water, otherwise there is no benefit to forcibly adding such a description
Conversely, these places that others deliberately do not write as entertainment works may hide the valuable minerals that can become new works. If you use this as a core concept, you can establish your own characteristics. And it is easier for laymen to discover these deposits. Therefore, I believe that people who want to contribute are better than Suzuki said
Nowadays, there are three new works on hand, all of which are based on the fantasy world, but the authenticity and the degree of black and white are different. Therefore, he said that he was also warning himself: If you only want to set the world view at the moment, then you will have to suffer. The level of understanding, the level of fun, and the degree of description are critical

The light novel writer Yoshino Izumi also said that in most cases, the background is only a “medieval European ‘style’”, so it may not be necessary to pay attention to the medieval Europe in reality
The cartoonist Don Juanなをき’s “Manga Road”, there is a cartoonist, because always nitpicking the authenticity of other people’s works, the result is that I can’t paint anything. It is. Kono believes that being too rigid and true, in the worst case, it will become like this
Of course, some people are interested in pursuing the truth. It is of course the best for such people to do so. However, if you are bound by “not true, you can’t write anything, or you can’t enjoy the work, it’s the end of the game.” Kong Ye feels that truth is not absolute justice

The network novelist Chuan Jingang is doing work related to pipeline construction in reality. When he was writing, he was deeply troubled by reality
When I saw a different world novel with a water closet, I couldn’t help but swear: How to deal with the world’s water? Even if magic can be decomposed and resolved, can the water flushing the toilet be transported by magic?
To say that there is already a septic tank in this world? How did the chlorine used for disinfection come from? In the final analysis, how is the construction solved? The toilet in this cultural circle is so developed, do you already know the slope of the sewer?
If there is a septic tank, then do you need a sewage treatment truck anyway? Even if you use magic to break down the faeces, you should also need the same work as a sewage treatment vehicle?
No, after all, is there no problem with water? Modern has treated water, so it can be used in the toilet… No, it is enough to use the magic to collect the water in the air or to pour the water into the water tank
However, this also does not solve the problem of sewage pipes. Is it a lead pipe? If it is a cement pipe, there is no gasket, the sewage will leak out from the joint, the plant will absorb nutrients from it, the root will elongate, turn in from the gap of the cement pipe, block the cement pipe…
In the end, since there is magic, can you completely dismantle the sewage? At the moment of rushing down, even the water drains are broken down? This kind of powerful technology is used to treat sewage. It is too big to use. Isn’t this the “Fatish Legend” in Feria’sエクステンション? Already everything is going to break the magic…

Light is a toilet, enough to make the writer look forward to it, no way to write. It’s easy to make a setting that respects the truth, allows the reader to accept it, and is more self-explanatory
The light novelist Ge Xishen also mentioned that if there is a girl wearing glasses in a different world, then the world should already have optical knowledge and various sophisticated processing techniques, and astronomical level and navigation technology will also be affected. Influences

However, although writers have to be dilemma between real and fantasy, fortunately, at least one thing, they are free to play
同人漫画家鬼头えんSay, the medieval fantasy police have no mercy on the bath, the toilet, and the food, but they have never seen them say “the medieval sexual behavior.” There will be no pre-shows like pornography, so don’t paint, so these people are very kind
(https://twitter.com/kitoen2173/status/1126098492244369409).
Ghosts also tells some of the knowledge about medieval sexuality in tweets. For reasons that everyone can understand, I will not share it here
However, after reading the pornographic acquaintance readers, it is “practical” after all, and you can close your eyes to authenticity. And when it comes to general comics, they no longer have to control the big heads, they have to smash it again
In the comments, the cartoonist Daxi Lane complained that there was someone who spit out his comics: Isn’t the medieval sexual behavior only normal?
