Many people would have bunkers and supplies..and as long as you can threaten the families...you'll have your first enforcers. Plus the wealthy had the artifacts...also kinda sus...like they expected the apocalypse. But look at the covid situation...Governments have lied non stop. Yet we still trust them. People would cling to such ministers with fake justice..by the time you realize your ruler is a Hitler too late!
Hm... I really like this story, but the fact that politicians have so much power and importance feels a bit forced to me? Even if the military is striving to keep the order and is trying to recover/stabilize the status quo, money doesn't have value at the moment, and there are so few awakened people, even if the people who used to be in power have some awakened who are loyal to them, I don't think that would be enough to exert as much power as the story is portraying. And honestly, how did these people not die during the appearance of the monsters? Cause like, most probably they would all be old people. It just doesn't make much sense to me.
And they're already talking about exporting... How, when money has no value? They didn't even establish a national market or coin (I believe the monster cores will end up becoming the coin, since it is, besides the monster byproducts, the most valuable thing as of yet), how do they intend to trade with the US? And how do they even know if the US (or any other country, by the way) is better off than them, and it doesn't even seem like the communications are working...
As of now, I see a lot of holes, and I know if it's just because of the adaptation or if the og story is like that too, I gess I gotta read the novel.
