The electricity's explained and the explanation is BS. But to be sure despite it being patently absurd (if it were like that then why aren't farmers electrocuting their fields...) I did some online research and then consulted chatgpt to boot.

Lightning does not fix nitrogen directly into the soil where it strikes. It fixes nitrogen in the air, which is deposited via rain, the amount is also very small. You need rain with the lightening to introduce the nitrogen into the soil. Even repeated lightning strikes with rain wouldn't provide enough nitrogen to fertilize soil: Natural lightning produces ~2–20 kg of fixed nitrogen per hectare per year, depending on frequency and storm intensity. Crop requirements (e.g., corn) can be 100–200 kg/ha/year of nitrogen.

Furthermore lighting hitting land would with a approximately 1 meter radius:
Kill microbes that actually are responsible for nitrogen fixing, about 90-95% of nitrogen fixing is done with microbes. If MC wanted to make the soil better MC would want to bring in soil
Destroy soil structure
Create toxic and/or hardened substrates

What MC should do is transplant hardy plants one might call "weeds" which break up the soil and bring up nutrients from deep in along with some soil transplant. And NOT destroy the soil with repeated lightening strikes causing only harm and no benefit. Plus get some nitrogen fixing plants like alfalfa or soybeans or lentils which also can be eaten, with necessary soil transplant for needed bacteria. Of course you wouldn't have the "joke" of tying someone up in a field and hitting them with lightening to help grow crops. But you're coming at me from a realism perspective so you can't switch to "it's just fantasy" without being intellectually dishonest goal post shifting.

Cooking the chunos would add at most 25% more bio-available calories, not many times more calories. So you still wouldn't be able to feed everyone if before cooking you didn't have anywhere close to enough.

"All that cannibalism does in places of servere hunger is giving the last bit leftover nutrients from one starved person to the next with a bad efficiency ratio, why else do u think it's the very last resort ppl take in 'getting lost/stranded in survivalhostile places with close to no chance of rescue appearing' situations? "

Exactly! For that matter you won't get shit for calories from a organism that has been starving for a long time. But the story suggests this has been going on for a long time, generations of demons using cannibalism for food. Let's set aside the very high dangers of passing on disease. Because of the inefficiency of consuming another animal to live, whatever the cannibalized person was eating to survive all this time could have been eaten by the cannibal. The only time it makes sense to be anything other than a vegan with ongoing low food is if the animal you are eating can eat something you can't, like grass, etc. For someone stranded or lost cannibalism could work with high risk and problems to the cannibal if the people have fed well up to this point, meaning they have reserves of muscle and fat. If they wait till everyone is dying of starvation then it won't work very well, especially if raw.

So thanks for making my argument for me, kinda weird how you pretend it's some kind of counter argument.

" If cannibalism made calories appear out of nowhere like u claimed, the demon folk would not be portrait starving like they are"

If cannibalism didn't make calories appear out of no where the demons wouldn't be using it, they'd all just have died out. If it made alot of calories appear out of nowhere they wouldn't show to be starving. But if it made just a little bit of calories appear out of no where it could explain how they've managed to survive. And in fact if you look at the higher level demons like the demon kings underlings they are all not scrawny and starving, as are other cannibals shown Like this one https://i.postimg.cc/Ls1FdX7f/i.png how does such a massive creature have that much muscle if its been starving? They literally have no crops or food other than cannibalism that is shown up to this point. MC has to introduce potatoes to them for them to grow food.

Speaking of I forgot another stupid point where MC has people who barely have food, exercise. You might dispute this but exercise causes increase calorie burn so should only be done for it's own sake if you have plenty of food. Also having more muscles increases how many calories you need to maintain those muscles.

MK wouldn't let me post my post because too many characters. So have to put the rest in a new post.

Do their lives matter? Oh wait you were just concerned whether their houses will be used.

I don't get the feeling these goblins are evil, it feels like they are just slaughtering people.

So princess was evil after all.

The first one makes it sound like MC will reject them if they refused to switch to guardian. So latter saying MC doesn't care,,,,

Well the persons who ordered the murders and carried out said orders are the ones ultimately responsible.

But they didn't do this? They just got into town and have done no achievements/quests at all, right?

Also I thought they needed more than 3 people to start a "clan" certainly 3 people is extremely small for to call "clan"

Anyway this clan thing seems like some kind of racket.

I hope MC is willing to kill when necessary.

"I can't tell you who we are or what we want but will you work for me doing something as we are in some kind of situation"

Well when you put it like that...

Geez, you want help from someone, especially if the help involves doing dangerous stuff or putting a target on the helper, share some bloody information!

How?

If the wyrrm flakes were explained properly to Nina, this kind of response seems emotionally manipulative.

Also how the hell do they breath in MC's mouth.

The old trope of slanted eyes means scheming evil, but slit eyes that always look closed means hidden badass.

I figured it out, this is a flash back. This was the incident that set off Dawes to challenge the Rock Dragon which was too much for Dawes. How MC cam into contact with Millia and how the slime ate Dawes stealing Dawes abilities and memories thus aiming for the village, it all stems from the shit fake heros actions here. Dawes inadvertently saved Millia life and more with this seeing as fake hero had es eyes set on Millia.

Though if I had read comments more I would have also learned it that way.

To be fair I read it really tired and doing a fair amount of "just one more chapter" curiosity reading

Yeah the weird "your mom" words were from the doppelganger.

No, they knew who was who from position

What we've learned so far:
Cannibalism causes calories to appear out of nowhere.
Lightening and feathers make soil more fertile.
Cooking potatoes a second time with water multiples the calories they give by several fold
Maybe I'm missing a few other things but that's plenty.

I know it's fantasy but it's suppose to be based on real life stuff I thought? But this just is random nonsense stuff thrown at us with no explanation. No system to explain this new stuff.

What do they even need Devourer of Flames for, they got lava to cook with

Only for a moment going through the gate
