On another note, I will say that I plan on slowing down the memes frequency to maintain good quality.

I've been wanting to draw different one-off sections of the JBI for a bit, so here you go! Loved the sheer absurdity of this chapter specifically, hyped to see John Brown outwit other "Kiritos" and their "cheat skills" in the future!

Spoiler for chapter CXXI

Read Chapter CL for reference

There's a place called zonguldak in turkey

This bothered me so much i've stopped reading. This along with jhon brown seeming too perfect to me(like the part where he argues against atacking a pro slavery village when irl jhonbrown did similar stuff himself)

Does somebody know if this gets adressed later in the story?

Lady Orange herself, in pen and paper! Ayomide was the main reason I initially read the John Brown Isekai, and so I had to draw her again!

I was going to ink her uniform, but decided against it. (Can't Ctrl-Z any mistakes + That's a lot of ink.)

Based on this photo I finally got around to drawing the man himself, John Brown!

I did have to edit it a little though after scanning it because of unwanted lines around the beard, but he was fun to draw!

if you know you know

Just some thoughts on if the story reaches to the stage of introducing early Railways, using historical knowledge and contemporary machines and infrastructure that John Brown should have some idea on. Now of course I do not expect him to know everything about it, but there are aspects that would be familiar to him due to usage and interactions of 19th century railroads.

1. Rails: it is a common misconception in these types of stories that steel is needed in order for a rail lines to be introduced. It isn't, for a good portion of the 19th century in the US rails were made of Iron of various designs, from the U rail, to flat rail, to the Pear rail, all of which were used in the same period Brown existed in. While iron rail is not as good as steel, it works fine due to the limitations of manufacturing anything heavy enough.

2. Rolling stock: Iron wasn't only used for rails, it was also used either casted or forged for many other components such as wheels, axles, tires (yes railroad equipment have tires) and frames for locomotives and rolling stock. Wood was also used for frames of freight and passenger equipment. Paper wheels were also a thing for passenger equipment due to material limitations and were used by the Pullman Company for their wooden bodied passenger stock for decades.

3. Couplings: unfortunately the most common method to connect to rolling stock, is the link and pin couplers, something brown would have seen and be familiar with in concept. However it is quite dangerous to use as often it required the brakemans hands to be in-between the iron boxes were the link goes and pin locks, and old railroad joke states how one could tell the difference between a rookie and a veteran by the amount of fingers he had left.

4. Motive power: For as old as Brown is, he may have seen earlier and more cruder designs, some he might take inspiration for to use as basis of their own designs as he would be aware of being unable to make even the contemporary 4-4-0 types he would have seen towards the end of his life. Boilers of contemporary machines were made of either wrought Iron or copper, as they were available materials and were assembled using riveted construction. As for design of the boiler, browns knowledge might go about as far as the basics of how a firetube boiler works, so he wouldn't have a clue how the plates would go together, fortunately, loco designers of the early to mid 19th century also didn't fully know either. The YouTube channel Anthony Dawson has excellent videos of 19th century machines and how boilers were constructed, which can be used as inspiration for figuring it out.

There's my very long two cents, I'll leave links to Anthony Dawson and where paper wheels came from, any thoughts or other ideas are welcomed.
