Laid back, but I'm a bit of a grammar nazi. Can't stand intolerant people, as ironic as that sounds

    Oooh, it's BTTH. I thought it was a Disney Mulan reference. "I am Yao. King of the Rock!"

    Oh, no. I think this might be where I'm dropping the story. The whole "continuous pursuit and claiming ownership despite verbalized nonconsent" schtick is one of my biggest peeves

    Moar. The whole 'innocent' spiel is starting to get old. It's got to go, even if you don't include scenes like this. But scenes like this can be opportunities for character growth, inter-character dynamics, etc. Or, ya know, just plain old fanservice. I'm in favor of the former, but whatever floats your boat

    Clarification, a squire is /usually/ (but not always) a non-firstborn son of a noble, or a merchant's son who paid for squireship in order to become a noble. As I understand it

    Therefore, he chose [Knight's Servant].

    So, to clarify. A war veteran's son grew up as a noble's servant, and became a squire. A veteran can be a lord (noble), but since he supposedly worked as a noble's servant, this was not the case. He became a squire. Fine. Climbing the social ladder. None of these reasons given actually make sense. It's a natural progression. You don't 'become a lord' because of a romantic breakup, a sense of adventure, or getting expelled by your family (in which case you would LOSE your status as a lord). Only a 'the desire for power and wealth', A.K.A. 'ambition) is a sufficient reason as stated here. A 'private feud' /may/ work, if the feud is between two higher-ranking nobles and the MC got promoted as a reward for some action taken in support of one of said nobles in said feud. Author's trying, but he has very little actual knowledge of this stuff.

    [Why did you become a Lord?]

    Sort of like a lady-in-waiting. Assistant and support, but not a grunt

    A squire is more than just a servant. A squire is (usually) a nobel who is /working as an assistant in exchange for training to become a knight/. Higher than a footman, lower than a knight - and while a squire (temporarily) has the duties of a servant, their status is higher and they can fight.

    Therefore, he chose [Knight's Servant].

    I'm no expert, but I think "Knight squire" might be redundant. Just "Squire" might be bettter

    "Advice of strategy." What. Try 'piece of advice' or just 'hint'

    TF does 'regional module' mean? There was no attempt to make this sentence actually ok

    Yeah... no. You only find characters that talk like this in translated stories as a sort of hyperbole to show how dumb one character is and how arrogant the other is. Lazy writing. Getting old. Strike Two

    Yeah, the author is throwing words together here lol. I know they get paid per word so they develop certain ways of phrasing things but he coulda gotten way more words outa this. This just makes it seem brainless

    Some people were using pens to take notes while observing the strange beasts that looked like extraterrestrial creatures in the cages. That was the result of genetic sequencing cloning.

    It seems to be a pretty common error so I'm assuming it's actually Chinese grammar, but 'winning' someone is incorrect in English. You "beat" them, or "defeated" them, etc

    He knew that the other party won them in numbers. Besides, he also had a lady on his side.
