How did the humans lose to these guys again?

everybody who knew anything about them died 500 years prior, any recorded information is on the surface, probably in a secured lab underground, good luck fighting your way into that.
Why bother to train you soldiers when you can mass produce them, and get just as good results from a method that doesn't rely on an individuals skill level?

Its an LN nigga.

>Why bother to train you soldiers when you can mass produce them, and get just as good results from a method that doesn't rely on an individuals skill level?
All of their knowledge will be theorical since everyone with experience died fighting.
And having survivor mean that you can have an army in the long run instead of being limited to 20-30 sacrificial lambs at a time.

Like you said everyone is already dead, fucking idiots probably burned the documents that contained information about the weapons

And even after 500 years they still haven't made any progress

>And even after 500 years they still haven't made any progress
it took humans irl a whole lot longer to stop slaughtering each other over shit that doesn't even exist.

But 500 years past humans were already extinct, aside from dealing with the seventeen beasts, their workload is lessen and they had all the time to make technological advances or any kind of advancement at all

>How did the humans lose to these guys again?
To which guys? Humans were wiped out not by those beastmen we've seen in anime, but by 17 (types of) Beasts who wander on the ground.

They didn't. They're still wandering the surface out to kill all demi-humans.

The anime is better than the LN. Although I dread next arc that ups the furry shit.

>The anime is better than the LN.
It's not, simply because of the fact that it has to skip a lot.

It didn't skip that much and I feel they put few of those flashbacks in other episodes.

They didn't skip much considering the book is even smaller compared to your usual LN, only some minor details and explanations.

Nephren a best

This time the LN writer is the one writing the script IIRC.

Anime made some scenes from LN really great (like that one with Scarborough Fair), but also killed some scenes (the one with Willem's last battle, his 'duel' against Kutori).

There's apparently no real limit on the number of fairies they can spawn, the problem is they only have a small number of Carillons and no way of making more, so no matter what they can never get better than a small group of disposable soldiers.

Didn't the humans fight all the other races too though?

>they completely ignore/ brush it off
She only brushed it off because it'd mean accepting her friends died a stupid death.
I'm not even sure people now know where the dug weapons actually come from, they just learned that the girls could use them to blow themselves up and take out the beasts at least temporarily.

They did, and they did succesfully. But it wasn't a constant state of war.
Almost every single race was wiped out by those Beasts. And those who now live on Regul Aire (i.e. sky islands) are the ones who managed to survive.

>no one thought of reverse engineering dug weapon in 500 years
>humanity lost to these retards

Good taste

Fuck, this caught me off guard.
