Are all mangaka in Japan snobs?

Are you saying it’s not realistic that the princess wanted to protect the boy who saved her life? Makes sense to me.

As for the royal family, you always have Shield Hero if you want to see a scummy royal family.

Why are you asking about mangaka? They are hardworking artist who have to also come up with story. Seirei gensouki is just another light novel garbage. Shitwriting needs no effort.

I thought mangaka were the ones incharge of the plot. Anime is relatively new (watching for 5 months or so) for me. I don't really know what are Light Novels and who writes them. :P

Taking "fantasy" as an excuse to not do research or at least make it logicalin the own world buildinghhas nothing to do with fantasyits just lazy and bad writing.
The highestin command is responsiblefor his subordinates actions. That the case irl and in this show.

Are you one of those anime onlys?

Yes. At least till now. But isn't the story of anime similar if not same to the manga/LN?

Light novel authors don't give a rat's ass about historic accuracy of the story. Novels supposed to be entertaining, leading to sales, leading to additional volumes published. Punishing royal family for their misdeeds/shortcomings can be a basis for a novel series but there is no reason why every single novel has to be written like that.

It looks like you have a "very naive image of monarchy and feudal system" yourself. It was a method to keep and control land specific for medieval level of technology. It was not inherently evil and royal family couldn't control every single aspect of it. Try as you may there would be some misdeeds, shortcomings and injustices. Some of them would be corrected and some would be not. There is no reason why royal family has always to be on the "wrong" side or responsible for everything.

The episode in question doesn't even have anything to do with either monarchy or feudalism. This is a trivial case of abuse of power by a local boss and correction of this behavior by his superior. In contrast to it actual land owning vassal under feudalism often had significant freedom for abuse on territory he controlled. He had obligations to his lord but they were often limited to taxes and military support.


Why would it be? She was participating in search as a mage specialist, she is not in the chain of command and doesn't decide what happens with this boy. Her work is a teacher in academy. "Detain suspicious people until circumstances are investigated" is a standard procedure even now and it is handled by specially trained people, the police. If police tortures prisoners, it's on them, not some random people who witnessed the arrest.


The princess was unconscious, she had no any intentions. The decision was made by adult guard they had in the group, she had good reasons to make it. The guy who tortured the boy was acting on his own initiative, no one else did anything wrong.

There is nothing wrong about this scenario. For some reason you want it to be princess' fault but it just isn't. Nothing snobbish about it, this is just not the story you are looking for.

This has been a recurring trope that something terrible happens in a kingdom and it turns out the noble people (or at least the royal family) were unaware of it and they then personally use their power to correct the wrong done.
I can't help but think that people writing these scenarios over and over again must be snobs with a very naive image of monarchy and feudal system. This is especially common in such run-of-the-mill isekai and fantasy genre anime.
The gist of it is in many anime, the story kind of tries to absolve royal family of their misdeeds/shortcomings by later heroically saving the day and I don't like it.
