son of the soil

Author I want to know, Why did MC absorb soil slowly ? It's okay MC will be tired after absoption. But you know MC's system can do anything with equal exchange through points. What I expect is MC continuosly absorb soil (behave like passive) while walking, if MC tired then use points. And one thing, the way MC abosorb is not "Dig-Gather-Absorb" right ? till now I always imagine MC absorb soil directly through soul perimeter.

Honestly, those of us born in the 80s, 90s, and 2000s, and those born in 2015 or later, who have already passed through adolescence or are still going through it, at least know how to do basic soil recovery that would probably work in swampy or decertified areas. This would involve increasing the number of seedlings of plants native to the region, which could help reduce the amount of water in the swampy soil. Another way would be to increase the amount of plant matter in the swampy soil to increase the amount of firm land as the plant matter degrades. The same applies to decertified lands, but if I'm not mistaken, the duration of this soil recovery process should take around 5 years if you invest serious, heavy money, or it could be even less than 5, maybe 3 or 2 years, but if you have little money to invest in soil recovery, it could take at least 10 years, 20 or 30 years, or even longer if you have little manpower to help.

I'm halfway through and honestly, it has been quite a pleasurable read so far. However, as a trained horticulturist and agronomist, I was slightly disappointed with the lack of research and inaccuracies in some areas. These areas can definitely be improved on, considering its a novel closely linked to agriculture. 1) 'Deep soil,' rarely smells like rain. Petrichor is caused by various factors such as the release of oils from certain plants, generation of geosmin chemical by actinomycetes (a type of soil-dwelling bacteria), and ozone. 2) 'Deep soil, ' is never dark and rich. It does not absorb water well too. They are usually clayey. What gives 'topsoil, ' it's unique water-holding properties and the black and rich look is basically organic materials in various stages of decomposition (dead leaves, branches, wastes from animals etc). There's a complex process where different microbes work in harmony to break down the organic materials; producing a substance called humus which is carbon-rich, and it is what gives topsoil its signature look. 3) Soil that is barren and dry means there's a lack of microorganisms on the top surface of the soil. This may also be due to the overuse of synthetic fertilisers/lime etc that causes a buildup of minerals. 4) The weather and elements impart certain types of nutrients to the soil; weathered and exposed soil contains more nutrients. For example, Phosphorus. The main source of Phosphorus is from the weathering of rocks. I guess in general, I was disappointed that there was no mention of micro-organisms (even though they are essential to agriculture). The dynamics and growing mechanics of lab-grown crops are very different from the field-grown ones, and it's a little sad that the mc does not understand this (despite being a specialist.) I hope the author sees this and considers it for his edits or future novels. Cheers, Chewy

seedlings represented hope. Although they weren't growing well, they still showed a tenacious spirit since the layer of toxic soil didn't stop them from surviving.
