Remnant is not a nice place to live. Just be glad we haven't reached God Eater-levels of shittiness.

I think a more apt comparison is feudal Japan, except there's no feudal lords, replace the occasional highwayman with Grimm, and they're pretty similar already. It's not a nice place to live, but if you know how to kick some ass, you'll live longer than the villages you find.

So in a way, RNJR are a group of wandering ronin.

On the bright side, that's alot of opportunity to basically harden the shit out of the main characters even if they never finished Huntsman schooling.
