After reading some, I could not continue reading but it is just so hard to do. It is very dialogue heavy because it is a crafting manga and makes the flow of this manga extremely slow. A lot of the story line when you look at it does not make any sense, as his entire workshop appears but none of the other buildings that he is near? His materials and smokes that came with him never seem to end? He then ups and leaves it all behind? Thing is, if it flowed a but more and made sense more (the writer did put so much thought into the actual crafting), this would be a good manger to very good, however I have not read much of this at all as you really need to focus to read this manga and with a headache, it is not possible so I will come back to it later and try. I will write up a review then.
Haven’t read it all yet but art alone justifies a recommendation. 8.5/10
Spoiler free list:
Pros:
>Art style is cool, artist is talented.
>Female characters look cute and feminine, male characters vary in their design. Overall good character design with decent amount of variety.
>Demons are looking like actual demons. Monsters are also looking well designed, not revolutionary or anything but it is pleasing to look at.
>Protagonist is interesting and not just a cardboard cutout of a blank slate male character. His motives and behavior is backed up by his backstory.
>Isekai trope actually makes sense and being utilized. I hate when a title just want that isekai tag because its popular; it’s not the case here.
>MC being a crafter is intriguing. It has a lot of potential. I’m not yet sure if It’s potential is being realized tho.
Cons:
>Story is a bit cliché. Same old isekai fantasy stuff, nothing new.
>Surface level concepts, there could definitely be more nuanced topics getting covered to really earn that seinen tag.
>Side characters follow the same boring cliché formula.
>Pacing is kinda chaotic. I feel like some of the skips are not justified and world building and character refinement is being held back as a result.
For your sake, If chapter 22 isn’t released yet, don’t read cause it’s a gddamn cliffhanger. I’
Ok, I have reevaluated this manga and I gotta say that it’s worse than I previously thought. Even though this title has good art, it falls through because of its completely unimaginative story. It’s just so heavily cliched that it’s borderline unreadable. Boring.
10 chapter was enough
art ok, above normal, below great
story, might be better if it really has an end, but nope, since its gonna get axed sooner or later imo
welp that was nice free time
its pretty good 8/10 but you gotta like artisans and crafting, does have the normal dose of crafting only 15 are out so far im curious if quality will be maintained
MC uses a system shock style pipe wrench 11 out of 10.
Now this one is different. Instead of truckkun it’s lifestyle diseases. instead of a high school kid, it’s an experienced machinist. Instead of a class, it’s his machine shop.
kinda mid tbh
