Steel and Ambition: No SV, Just Building the Guns Won't Make for a Successful Business. You Need More!

Reader mode
I don't think I'm good enough to do this write-in but I do have something that I think would be cool if it could be incorporated into another's write-in.

"The world is a cruel place. I have learned that firsthand. It cares nought what your wishes might happen, what you desire to do. If you want a certain outcome, you must take the first step to seeing it through. You must look at it as it is, not as what you wish it to be."

Pretty solid and I've had less than ideal sleeping conditions tonight and no breakfast besides.

Great update Magoose. The atmosphere conveyance is peak.
 
I think a longwinded speech on the state of the world is the wrong thing for a 10yo to say to the Emperor of Japan.

Especially if it touches on topics he did not ask about.

Granted that's done to, in theory, make the Emperor take the MC seriously. But what approach would you have done instead?

I took 'anime switch' to mean 'idiot mode.' And people who joke about things like that being 'on' aren't actually joking, and instead letting their own idea of 'it'd be cool' dictate their choices, rather than anything like reason, logic, or character consistency.

As for how I'd respond, it'd be with a blunt, cold, analytical assessment, the way I did in my own write-in.

My honly fear is that we might get beheaded or worse for saying that to what is seen as a god emperor
 
[X] Nothing is simple. Just one gun will not do. Right now they are on the path to progress. Maybe somewhere out there they are working their forges in a direction. We can look back at the waring clan period and see clans trying to one up each other constantly. There might be the same competition happening out there in far off lands. We will need to look outwards with our our eyes. Learn how far these barbarians will go and how they act. Then we gain power. We consolidate, then we lead.

Whether that future is expelling the foreigners, bending them to Nippon's will, or forming bonds of brotherhood can only be determined by your wisdom."

    [X] The barbarians are more numerous, with more rifles. Their own smiths will improve. The only way to truly defeat the barbarians is with weapons so much better than foreign rifles, that their greater numbers will not matter. It will not be decided by how skillfully one can swing a blade, but by how quickly and how accurately the guns can fire.
