Like others have stated, the story started off strong with a great premise. It was nice to begin in an idyllic setting without the inherent McGuffins to drive the plot along. It was nice to see a protagonist trundle along, hefting his britches, and working his ass off like anyone of us normal plebs.However, this story falls back onto track of light novel tropes very quickly. You'll see 2 dimensional villains, cavalcades of lolis, hot spring gags, and easy answers to hard questions. I imagine anyone interested in technology/industrialization, genuine romance, or even action will be disappointed in the long run.
