Zoey's Mind Goblins

Rithriel's name actually comes from Sindarin Elvish, and it's a combination of "ritha-" (to twitch or jerk) and "-riel," which is a suffix for female names.

So yes, her name idiomatically translates to "Jerkoff Woman"

- hasn't been directly or indirectly affected by their existence

- network to care for the neglected children of protagonists who can't be bothered to use contraceptive magic
- Aside from everyone looking like the front page of pixiv, society is actually pretty normal absent the influence of reincarnators, but it's becoming difficult to find any place that -

- variety of women to fill the heroes' harems, slavery, and a Potemkin city that looks like that one that's in every isekai (Yes I'm just ripping off Dark Lord of Derkholm it's a great book)
- Sometimes, protagonists go missing. Don't worry about it!
- The church has set up an extensive orphanage -

More fun facts about this world:
- Every woman has either a completely flat chest or minimum e-cups
- A coalition of nations spend almost the entirety of their national treasuries to maintain what's effectively a theme park for isekai protagonists, complete with a "Demon Lord" to slay, a wide -

the artisan class. However, her attempts to lift herself out of the gutter are eternally stymied by lack of capital, connections, and self-worth; she hates herself because she enjoys being abused, and she enjoys being abused because she hates herself.

- demigods who view their world as some kind of playground in which to enact their revenge fantasy on the girls who looked down on them in school. It's not a job with great long-term prospects, and Quickie's smart enough to realize that, which is why she taught herself alchemy to try to move into -

- a punching bag. Sometimes it's because she's a deliberately antagonistic brat with a poorly-concealed masochistic streak, but mostly it's just because she's part of a class of people (almost entirely women) who are the accursed share of this society, sacrificed to placate emotionally immature -

- of a service economy that exists entirely to cater to every whim of teenagers who probably would have been school shooters if they'd grown up in the US. That is to say, she sucks off isekai protagonists in alleyways for pocket change or a warm place to sleep and often finds herself being used as -

- teenage Japanese incel -- learning about their culture and values is widely recognized as essential for the next generation of the upper class. And say what you will about Rithriel, she's absolutely an expert in frictionless diplomacy.

Quicksilver, on the other hand, is the absolute bottom rung -

- student. While she may be spending most of her time having sex, there is a deeper purpose to her presence there. Think of it like the Japanese elites sending their children to be educated abroad after Perry's expedition. Every isekai protagonist is an army-level military threat in the body of a -

Rithriel and Quicksilver both come from a world that operates on isekai porn logic, and they both represent different facets of that. Rithriel is part of a class that's greatly benefitted from the world's link with Japan, exemplified by the fact that she is allowed to come to Earth as an exchange -

As absurd as it sounds, the military offers a good deal more opportunity for personal expression and stability than civilian life. Promotion (for enlisted soldiers at least) is merit-based, which makes it a rare chance for social advancement outside of the infamously brutal civil service exams

actually has a very positive effect on morale - even garrison duty on the frontier is less monotonous and stifling than working in the collectives. Enlistment periods are 5 years for the army and 10 years for the navy, although the majority do reenlist at least once.

The military is something of an exception to this - while the state can and has used conscription in times of acute crisis, generally the armed forces are made up of volunteers. This makes joining the military one of the few opportunities to choose one’s own destiny in Bessmiriyan society, which -

Bessmiriya doesn’t have conscription so much as it has universal corvée, which is to say that all labor is managed by the state’s many labyrinthine bureaucracies and citizens are assigned their jobs based on production targets calculated to keep the nation self-sufficient

I know I should make a toyhouse but the fact that it only lets you upload 1 image at a time (at least it did when I last tried it) means it's such a huge pain in the ass to archive all my stuff on it
