So uncreative...

Why do so many of these fantasy stories do this? Whenever there's some "high tech" needed in a world with magic, what do the authors go for? That's right...stuff from our modern era...

Just like the ship in chapter 39 now. Supposedly an anti-calamity magic warship. But it just looks like a modern day (or fairly modern at least) warship, only with modern cannons replaced with "magic laser cannons".

No creativity or anything. Just pure laziness. It's a world full of magic where physics have little meaning, why would such a world ever develop exactly the same as our non-magical, physics bound world?

    I just hate that when a story is supposed to be medieval/fantasy, authors like this go and put modern day things in the world.

    Cellphones, TVs, cars/vans, guns, modern day fabrics with modern day designs, buildings with perfectly transparent smooth glass, heated baths and showers, soft mattresses, etc.

    If you're going to make this "medieval fantasy" world like modern day with magic replacing modern day science 1 to 1, with the only difference being mage staves, swords and armor, why even make it medieval fantasy?

    oh i know the feeling it does suck but once the author started putting the in LOST civ's thing it was like ok so this might in fact basically be a Magic based Version of our own world which removes much of wanting to finished reading .
