I understand your criticism. I myself think he is too lazy of a writer to do proper worldbuilding. However, it is his world and the worldbuilding is up to him. That being said, it is ridiculous that he does these things so quickly but you have to remember two things: 1. If you think of the world as a game or a test, he's cheating and 2. He is not of that world, that is to say, mentally, he is an adult who does things the adult/smart way.

For example, when he was a goblin, as soon as he was able to move, he did things completely differently than a goblin would, than his fellow "classmates" would. He used teamwork, training, weapons, planning and formation skills of a seasoned fighter, and of course his cheat ability to beat opponents stronger than himself. This allowed him to gain much more EXP than anyone of that world would normally get. People don't train, they get stronger by leveling up.

Think back to the humans who entered velvet's dungeon. Rou noted how despite their powerful jobs, they lacked the experience, training, and discipline that he has and that he beats into his subordinates. Think back as well to the red bear. By all means, Rou and any hobgoblin should not have been able to beat him. However, Rou is a cheater. He used all the skills he had amassed from literally everything he ate and had an unfair advantage since he had a large amount of experience fighting. This makes him able to fight stronger opponents who reward significantly higher amounts of EXP to allow him to rank up. Don't forget his skills that increase the amount of EXP he and his subordinates gain which he got with his cheat ability. People can't normally get all those convenient abilities but with his cheat, he can and thus surpasses all the limits known to that world. Combine that with the training he has and gives to his subordinates, it's no wonder they all have become so powerful.

To further address his subordinates, there are the many powerful weapons he conveniently stumbles across early on in addition to how his protection spreads to his subordinates who also get protections just because they are his subordinates. Rou also does not discriminate and actively shares knowledge between races allowing subordinates to be raised to work together to win as opposed to always seek to be the strongest even if that means taking others down. Remember how the elders barely batted an eye after he killed another goblin less than two weeks after he was born.

The kids are overpowered but you must remember what i just said. He raises children in a loving and supporting environment so he tries to make them stronger as a whole. Despite the fact that they were babies, he gave them an immense power boost with the white stag's antlers. And we both know how OP that thing was, even in it's weakened state. There is also the rate of their growth which is influenced by the ability he passed down (precocious). And its not unreasonable that they grew to young adults in about a year. Each rank up made them older and they have protections making them really strong allowing them to rank up faster. Also, Rou, as a goblin, was full grown in 3 days. Is it really unreasonable for a child 2 ranks higher to take 1 year?

In conclusion, Rou is cheating and made it a priority for him and his subordinates to rank up and become stronger using an overpowered cheat ability, training methods not seen in that world, and tactics that those beings would never think. All this in order to fight stronger monsters to become stronger. Their strength and methods are understandably and undoubtedly what has allowed them to progress so quickly.

(There is also the fact that this is a diary and if it took longer, no one would read it. Also, the author is lazy and has not put too much effort into worldbuilding, specifically the mechanics of his world and has thus failed to time things properly but these are not part of the world so i tried not to mention them.)

If you made it this far, thanks for reading this over-explained and long-winded explanation.
