That was a bit too on the nose for a change of topic, but it's true.Especially the rice bran pickles.

I'm not sure if this is intentional, but the paragraphs for the future excerpt doesn't seem to be formatted correctly (at least on my device). The start of each paragraph has less indentation.

@strangeattractor said in Pens Down, Swords Up - Corrections Topic:

Is keg and half keg the correct volumetric unit of beer in the latest part? From context it serms like the author meant pint. Or is each person drinking from a large barrel and miraculously not getting alcohol poisoning? Or does keg have different meanings?

If keg is the right word, then some sort of quick description or explanation when they are introduced would be helpful.

They definitely aren't half pints, the text goes into detail about how they are small kegs with the kids removed, it also details how the mana organ allows people to process alcohol better and in larger quantities than would be expected.

That said, with all the adventurers we’d been on, everyone was accustomed to preparing to travel by now.

Extra letter? I trust that Seika and the group haven't been phsyically residing on groups of other people; adventurers->adventures

I doubt we can threaten him and get him to reveal his true intentions as things as now.

They’re being led by a black-haired general on a white horse and a silver-haired female general on a white horse!”

If I remember correctly (ignore me if I don't) but Zetsuei, who Sekiei has been said to be riding, is said to be a black horse?; black-haired general on a white horse->black-haired general on a black horse
(also the part later mentions Sekiei being on a black horse)

That’s why he underestimated Jo Hiyou and Gan Retsurai, and wrote them off as bit players in this war, instead focusing all of his energy on settling things with me.

Maybe just me but not sure how the word would apply here so misspell?; bit->big

There's a couple mentions of gunpowder, but I don't recall there being guns mentioned anywhere. Changing this to black powder would be more appropriate, as calling it gunpowder implies the existence of guns.

Simply releasing mana on its own didn't amount to much.Magic only became truly effective when refined, honed, and organized into a proper system—in other words, when it became a structured spell.

...and immediately lied down in bed...
if you want to use the word "lie" in this context, it should read: and had to immediately lie down in bed.. (lie down -verb)
The term "lied" means to speak falsely/untruthfully in English, so a better word to use is laid (past tense of lay).
e.g...and immediately laid down in bed...

It looks like out to vs ought to. The outta at 64% works, because it’s out of.
