Misunderstandings- a genre that moves the story forward by pitting its characters in situations that can be interpreted incorrectly, leading to a mixed bag of outcomes ranging from comedy to tragedy. Regardless of this, getting your intentions misunderstood in any situation doesn't feel very good. The genre is a balancing act, where the entire plot stands on a burning tightrope and where one mistake can plunge the whole story into an abyss. A prime example for this would be "The Darkness was comfortable for me", where the authors moves characters in ways that make the MC absolutely miserable. Does it work? No. Could it have been better in any capacity? Absolutely. On the polar opposite side of this stands "I am the evil lord of an intergalactic empire" where the main character's actions are dealt out with malicious intent behind them but more often than not end up being used as fuel for some repetitive, but hilarious moments. Could the evil lord be better? Absolutely, as it gets very stale as the story progresses. The same antagonist trying to get the MC to be miserable and the MCs sheer dumb luck and dedication to worship the antagonist gets old down the line. My experience with the misunderstandings genre has been, a mixed bag overall. Thus the love-hate with it.

And, true to the previous statement, the Duke of said empire had abysmally low IQ as they "pawned off" for the lack of a better word their own son, Thor to the demon lord. Even when Thor methodically removed himself from the Duke's family, they still made use of the poor chap as a hostage to "sate the wrath of the demons". This would later ensure the free-falling decline of the Duke and other parties involved.

When in reality the demon lord and the rest of the cast on the demon side are far more humane in contrast. They show concern and compassion to this stranger dispatched as an emissary to their lands which was more than enough for our alchemist to dedicate his skills to the betterment of the demons. The empire, being the melting pot of human malice that it is continued to find new ways to disturb the borders of the demon territory and so to squash these sinister schemes, our alchemist sets off onto a journey of misunderstanding items from the earth and creating "knock-off" magic tools that aid both in combat and daily life. The misunderstandings here is simply cultural. Like archaeologists trying to piece together puzzles in order to understand a long dead civilization that exists as nothing more than trivial records, Thor pieces together information from a book from the world of heroes. In the process, however, Thor ends up creating what can be called an arsenal of tools that not only serve as comedic gold (thanks, chancellor Kerve) but also in creating an overwhelming deterrent to the empire. The world building is lax, but present when necessary, the charcters are well written and each of them play quite a substantial role in progressing the story.

For example Thors secret that he tells the demon king and Maple but than the general finds out about it but decides to not let Thor know. Thinking that Thor wouldn't be calm if he knew the way the empire thinks of him. Which I find especially funny

It's mentioned he did the paperwork and is no longer part of the duke's family so he basically got kidnapped and sent to this death.

The duke kept bragging about it too yet there are zero repercussions for it.

Legally speaking he kidnapped a man, sent him to his death and told everyone about it. It's all dumb as hell

Falling in love the same day they meet is so common already I don't even care anymore.

What I do care about is someone she has literally never seen nor heard of before but want to get it on is completely ridiculous.

Biggest offender by far.

For all the world shattering items he makes and the supposed emphasis on item creation the author instead decides to skip the process entirely.

He says he needs materials but never specifies them so instead it seems like he just grabs random crap and instantly materializes objects into existence.

It's like going into the living room and making a nuclear submarine.

He basically got an upgrade just from entering the Demon part of the continent because the place has abundant dark energy. It's not that he consciously does it, but no. Its automatic. In most novels people have elemental affinities. And even if they do, they first need to manually take a certain element in, accumulate and raise its size pool, then balance things out since he apparently also has opposing elements in his body. The guy wanted to make something and his skill informs that he lacks dark energy, which he suddenly gets after the Demon lord went near him. He just fking absorbed someone else's magic power without any input or permission, subconsciously, and without any repercussions such as the Demon Lord suddenly losing magic power or realizing the MC was absorbing any dark energy. Note that this is the Demon Lord, said to be the Strongest of the Demon race.

so like he kept the secret that the envoys the empire sends to the Demon continent every few years are actually deemed sacrifices by the empire. Sent there to fulfill the peace treaty and to die, cause their impressions of demons are uncivilized monsters who hates and kills humans. MC for some reason after finding out that the Demon side was real chill decides to keep this a secret because he fears that he will get treated badly. HIM. A guy who can create sh*t from nothing, can recreate technology and weapons from the summoned heroes world.
