Have read the raws up to 236 (MTL).

The novel is just about making alcohol and how much dwarves like to drink it, that's all. The jokes about dwarves were mildly amusing the first 10 times but it's become almost every chapter now.

There is some adventuring and the MC uses magic a bit but honestly the way he uses it is boring.

Spoiler

He eventually can make custom spells seemingly at the drop of a hat but doesn't really do anything ground-breaking or even modify them to be tactical. It's pretty much: shoot spell - does damage the end. For humans being hit seems to be basically instant death and for monsters it either works and kills them or does nothing.

The mission of "guiding the future hero of the world" doesn't start until late into the novel and is immediately ignored.

Spoiler

Child is found after around 200 chapters but even when it's found the chapters just march on ignoring the fact that the fated child is found and just talking about dwarves and alcohol like usual. As I've said I've read up to 236 and so there have been over 30 chapters after the child is found and none of them even have a mention of the kid. Why? Isn't that supposed to be the main plot? There are 529 chapters out as of me writing this review so I guess there is still time but it really saps my motivation to keep reading if the main plot isn't even slightly addressed in almost 40 chapters.

Don't even really want to talk about the pathetic harem building aspects but I will. Pretty generic harem stuff overall but the characters are quite bland and don't seem to have any real impact except for increasing his party's fighting strength.

Spoiler

He rejects (in a very weak way) his two childhood friends because he is an over 40 year old man and they are around 12 but then it is just sort of glossed over and assumed that he will add them to the harem when they are old enough which is honestly quite disgusting. Meanwhile he is having continued s*xual relations with two other older women.
