with the european basis of the parallel time frame from our real world, europeans themselves refused improvements because of "honor" and "barbarism". they didn't even have forks and knives until around this time because they resembled weapons, that's why they have dining etiquette. it's not that far fetched
That is true, but seeing how they respond it gives off more if a feeling that no one thought of or to do any of these. With the math I see what you spoke of.
There is quite a few things that it doesn't make sense that this world has no version or alternative of. Like the simplified math not existing cus f*ckers afraid to touch or change legendary work kinda makes sense and can work (like few and very far in-between people thought there must be a shorter way but like thought that was a crazy thought of theirs or didn't get far and where stopped or maybe said "this hard so it's not meant to be" cus who gonna argue a dragon). But like, the blender and water proof paper. You're telling me that no one thought "hey magic makes things convenient" and tried to blend or juice fruit easier? Magic makes things convenient and science understandably becomes less developed in a world with a lot of magic or at least common access to it but that doesn't mean inventions stop being created or thought of. They are just simply different and would evolve differently over time as people discover new things in such a world. Inventions come from laziness and a desire for convenience (and improvement) not just science or technology alone. That being said, I also don't give much of a f*ck cus this is a very interesting concept and it's fun watching her rock everyone's sh*t with our everyday normal concepts. I've liked watching her incorporate all of it from the beginning so I'm perfectly willing to overlook such things.
