    Cool, I like the manga series. It’s mostly the goblin out-playing a bunch of humans in politics, while trying to ensure his goblindom thrives through commerce and the likes.

    (Just don’t tell Orcbolg about it.)

      Since you know the source, let me pick your brain for a second: What’s with the “goblins only live for seven days” in the synopsis? Is that a typo and they mean 7 years, or where do Goblins get the energy and mass from to grow to that size in only 7 days?

        As I remember, the science of the 7 day lifecycle is handwaved, but the cause of cycle is plot relevant.

        Magic is omnipresent, so I assume that plays a role somehow.

        Tbh I always thought the 7 days thing was a little too hard to swallow. It’s otherwise a good read though, so I always pretended like it was a few months at least.
