I feel the same way when it comes to science and health being portrayed in the wrong ways in manga and other fictional works.
I find a manga I enjoy and then BAM! One tiny detail is off and it just makes me pause and take a deep breath to recenter myself. I still enjoy it though.
So I think I get what you mean about the use of that word in the wrong period.

Lol I was thrown off too. I’m not picky about word choice, but I thought it was odd that the translators wouldn’t use a more formal word like reputable or credibility. I just think colloquialisms and modern slang wouldn’t fit in this context. If it was a shoujo set on a college campus, maybe my opinion would be different lol.
Using the word "clout" made me step back from my immersive reading. Clout was first popularized/used in the Western 1800s. Certainly not in 1500s Japan. Even if MC used that word constantly, someone of that guys ranking in society wouldn't just casually use it. I'm... Uggggghhh.. why? Lmao ╮( ̄▽ ̄)╭
