A good slice of life plus isekai one can read. The much debated title of the novel can be deceiving since at the beginning of the novel, the protagonist was a crafter that focus on magic medicine, so he can do crafting of all sorts, but his passion lies in magic medicine.even in game, game that you need to build more tool or even build your own workshop even you are a job that shouldn’t able to are not that rare.for the story, the protagonist got typical Japanese protag behavior but with focus type mix in. He’s a pushover by female but he smart enough to divert them sometime, since he was a bit aged before the transfer. It doesn’t come out like it, since all the monologue look like he said “it can’t be help” but in reality, he just think it isn’t that a hassle, but he just want to use his time for something else. If the writing came out like everything he did calculated, he will turn into another type of character, so nothing wrong with currying favors with a plushies.for the grandparents issue, I think the author write them in case of “they’re good grandparents, but I rarely seen them, so I feel kind of distant.” Story said like they had annex in the house where grandparents spend their time in, but most of the time they show themselves is just the dinner. Protagonist do interact with grandma in the beginning and since he found the their principal are different, he stay away from her. He understands why she do it, but he didn’t approved it. So when they die in dubious manner, the protag focus on the conspiracy more than the facts they die. It do seem cold he didn’t react much, but they’re a characters the author write in way that they die in mysterious way, just another pointers to another quest, so a deduct point from author.the translation need a bit of polish, but readable 80% most of the time. Still the case of using “he” and “I” swapped, or the wrong gender usage, but I have seen worse. Keep up the good work.
