Hero remains to be badass. His opponents were just really pathetic compared to him, or he's powers and skills are just too good.

"We call meat that doesn't have any humanistic maternity "useless meat".
Head Maid is harsh Head Maid. Another awesome chapter though. ;D Gotta wonder if there's anyone out there that's a match for Hero though. Right now seems more or less unstoppable. I'd like to see him in a serious fight at least once. Those Union guys better not do anything to the Demon Queen, or there will be rage. >< |

Does Head Maid even realize that she's too, have a pair of those Useless Meat?? But look like Head Maid is experienced in tempting human, as expected of a Maid that can command an army. She put that costume on Demon queen so the Merchant will busy staring to those Melons, and can easily deceived by Demon Queen "diplomatic skill" If all goes bad, plan B already prepared, The mansion packed with Living "pretending to be dead" Armour. Not to mention Head Maid preparing an ambush using Villagers and their family in the pretext to eat potato together in the mansion, if The Young Merchant become 'wild' |

I'm not comfortable with maou being responsible for all technological breakthroughs so far
but I'm going to guess that she really didn't invent these, per say. Instead, these technological breakthroughs are actually old and forgotten technology dating from say, a few thousand years back In fact, I'm guessing that the's major plot twist for this story. This actually takes place post world war 3 or something. maou just happens to know about it because she is booksmart

Well, the technology that the Demon Queen has access to is rather advanced.
No, I'm not talking about the compass, windmills, agricultural techniques... The paper and printing technology the Queen has is clearly at the very least mid-18th century level. And that's putting it lightly.

Personally, I don't feel that this is a 'It Was Future Earth All Along", but I think there's definitely and potentially some mythos and plot importance behind 'Queen has access to crops, technology, innovations and stuff years/decades beyond the current time' besides just it being waived off as 'Demon World's stuff.'
While there's no real hint of it yet... It feels as if the Demon World is not really that advanced compared to the Human World, and that all the things the Queen have are not 'standard Demon World' stuff. Quote:
It's not strictly mentioned to be the result of a printer-press technology, but I think it's really telling that it is.

I also think thats the case and not a future lost world, pretty sure we would have seen some sorta hints at that, no way ruins could have gone unnoticed for so long. Quote:
Altho not say it isn't possible, I just find it rather unlikely and was just for convinence.

This version of the manga adaptations actually downscaled the technology during the Demon Queen's presentation; the original 2ch flash manga had the queen give the Hero what she explicitly refers to as "printer paper", and she uses a reeled film projector for the rest of her presentation.

Yea I felt that this premise was interesting indeed but in the end felt a little flat, the whole economics and diplomacy thing isn't so easy a weapon to wield on top of that the economics, etc were rather blaise and a very generalized one at that, on top of that how are you supposed to convert a hero with just words, when the amount of indoctrination is involved with warriors and those that perceive the world to be a certain way. I think I'd be way more interested if the intro arc was like some attempts at diplomacy, then a battle between the two, the hero realizing the futility of the fighting but still wanting to hold his ideals/nationality, then more diplomacy. Anyway the biggest problem I have from reading the first chapter was that it's so casual with it's lofty ideas on top of the fact that most of those ideas are wrong, or oversimplified.

The notion that war fuels economies is ridiculous, war depresses economies especially when it comes to long drawn out wars, see, Soviet occupation of Afghanistan, American ventures in Vietnam, Korea, Afghanistan, Iraq, Pakistan, if anything if they set up the notion of an illuminati that would make sense but for the most part those to benefit from war are not the general populace, in fact the burden of war is on the backs of the public where as the benefits are reaped by the powerful. The notion that war would be good for the common folk is absurd and surreal. Sure it may lead to "unification" but in the end the orphans of war are the burden of society and not those that truly prosper from war, which demon queen seems to imply it's the common folk with the death rate drop. I mean a perfect parallel is the war on terror, we are fighting an abstraction such as Demons. Also the notion that it's the states using each other's as buffers is most likely not relevant, as in a real war of "life and death" all soldiers would be sent that were able, that means that the poor, the homeless get to join the ranks of the military depending on how society is structured.
