I should try that sometime.
What makes elven motorcycles better than human ones or even dwarven?
Whoa! That's a good argument.
Whoa! Elves are superior after all.
So true!
What manga?
Arigatou!

Their capacity for resilience in the face of adversity?
Because they have several flaws... (combined points)
1) They possess technology but are useless in the face of imminent change.
2) They are proud, stubborn, and insecure.
3) Their temperament, depending on how it is written, can be calm, proud, clumsy in expressing emotions, or irascible.
4) They can be hostile to humankind, causing problems.
5) Low birth rate.
+
6) They can be great as long as their personality resembles a human's, ceasing to be perfect and rigid.
7) Even so, they can raise children with humans.
8) They fear the unpredictable.

@SuperSnekFriend Looking again, it’s not as bad as I thought, but there’s a whole ass modern day Japanese shipyard for no real reason. There’s also some other stuff like the typical fantasy “dungeons can have anything in them” beaches and grasslands but those are less offensive than the story just dropping a “hey look there was a future not-Japan here in this ruins.” The author spends way too much time on this diversion too, the only real plot progression from it being that the dwarves all want to suck off the main character now and the whole “master” thing is brought up again but with no meaingful new information, more of a just in case you forgot what the instigating incident of the plot was.
I've tried to summarize some points I remember, but it's more of a collage of various sources: mythology/folklore, anime, and new information. I know I might be inaccurate at some points; it's just an attempt to outline an argument.
That's why it depends on the medium it's adapted to. I use the Eddas as a base, but other sources could be used to build a personality. Eddas, folklore, anime, novels... doujinshi
Not a point in their favor morally, but they are better at it than Whites.
If you are going to write a story whose hook is "revenge", you'd better commit to the revenge.
Nidome no Yuusha is an example of this being done well. The MC sticks to revenge as his animating motivator, with bonus points for going the "I wouldn't even rape you" route. And getting poetic revenge is the primary reason complete with mind break. He doesn't go out of the way to hurt innocents, but doesn't care if they are collateral damage just as long as its in service to his desire for revenge.
The light novel is complete (the 8th volume is near the top of my "to read" pile), though it's a pity that the manga adaptation was cancelled so early and that it'll likely not get an anime adaptation.
@LoliHat @SuperSnekFriend I’m not all that interested in that one, though I do agree it’s best to focus the revenge. Backwater Gacha Level 9999 over there starts the plot off all in on the revenge with the hint of the “master” plot point, and then barrels through around the 2nd to 3rd arc saying “No wait I don’t want a revenge plot, I want a generic trash fantasy where a super secret evil organization is doing stuff in the background that our OP MC who is literally impossible to beat cannot ever catch.” Similar problem to what I had with Seirei Gensouki, decent opening but the author shits the bed (by introducing a saturday morning cartoon villain who always escapes while cursing the main character for foiling his plot to his semi-serious isekai), looks at the shit in bed, and decides he likes shitting the bed.
