It's a true slow life novel. MC is super strong, but rarely gets a chance to use it. It follows the slow but hard life of our MC and an expanding crew of interesting female side characters. As of chapter 47 there's no real progress on the romance front, but there are the beginnings of romantic feelings.It's SLOW, like several chapters building a bed slow. But if you enjoy slow life novels, this is a warm and relaxing one.Translation is fantastic quality too. The translation speed isn't a thousand chapters a day as I wish it was, but the translator is very active!As for other reviews, yes the blacksmithing isn't 100% perfectly accurate. The author has clearly done some research given that there are parts that are accurate, though. But if you want to learn how to smith you should watch YouTube tutorials or read a book, or take a class, don't read a fictional novel... Smithing isn't a simple thing, and it's by no means easy to learn or research, it's unrealistic to expect the author of a WN to take weeks and months to learn period-accurate smithing techniques. HOWEVER, I couldn't agree more with your point about his 'high tier' weapons. I can't fathom why the author decided that because he smacked it randomly it became s*upidly strong. Iron/Steel is only so strong, there are limits to the material's strength, instead of trying to make it some physical skill, it'd make much more sense to make it something magical. It gets annoying to read 'cheat' this and 'cheat' that a hundred times!As for gegehehe8686's review, I don't even know. Just don't bother with that review... In that chapter there's a Dwarf who wants to become MC's disciple. MC ends up saying yes, he's not "forced" into it, it's not a "beta" move. He says yes because he feels like it, it's a slow life, his second life, and he's just chilling. As for her not being useful, it's a Dwarf, and he's a blacksmith. What do you mean she's useless?...
