Pretty decent crafting-focused story. It's quite slow-paced and the crafting descriptions are so plentiful and detailed that you really have to enjoy that kind of things to get through them. There are also some problems with the MC's personality, he's so introverted and paranoid that there are long periods in the early part of the story where he barely has any meaningful character interaction. Romance comes into the story pretty late, and the time when the MC gets together with his girlfriend is entirely time-skipped, but after the time skip, there are some pretty enjoyable romantic moments. Action is pretty well written, MC is quite intelligent and likable despite his flaws, and after the first 90 or so chapters, MC finally starts having a bit of a social life. The story is moving in a good direction, MC has finally started to develop as a character and there's far more character interaction in the later half of the story compared the first half. Writing quality is pretty good overall, it feels mostly quite professional, though the author has rather severe problems with punctuation.
Recommended if you're into crafting-focused stories, otherwise you might want to skip this one.

It's not written in an annoying way. +1 The grammar's fine. +1 Been a while since I read it, but I think it lacked "umfh" moments. I have read stuff that actually makes me a little pumped up, imagining the situation in the novel. I feel that this lacks those sorts of moments. I wish there was something unique about the races of that world, but alas, it's same old. -1 The MC is introverted, and if he could, he would do everything himself. I like that. +1. I also like that the novel avoids the generic hell holes and pit traps called harem and romance. +1 All novels that have those tags have authors with small pps. At the same time, it feels to me like no matter how this author writes a character, I can't give a sh*t about them. Maybe it's just me. ~. Pacing's quite slow. Like, it feels I'm in the early stage of arc 2 at chapter 400. Overall, it's above the average harem novel, which doesn't say much as harem novels are rock bottom. I gave it 4 because it avoids the usual annoyances I find in novels.

An emotionless story. Our isekaied protagonist continues to go though the same arc of
With the protagonist unable to make friends, while working all day, nothing is ever going to happen. Him growing more comfortable and caring, would break this cycle and give the main character agency of his own story.

The story is good. I like this kind of novel with detailed word building. The only problem is the story is too focused on world-building and the plot hardly progressed.
Hope the author will make it more balance. ?

Very good. It have a good mix of both crafting and combat without hyper focusing on either and there’s no filler chapter that goes through our MC daily everyday life or dedicating one full chapter just to explain how he crafts things with magic and the author use time skips at the right time to skip those parts. Also no mindless romance or harem and our MC isn’t a spineless virgin.

There has been less crafting and more character development and back ground than I came for but I assume that is going to change soon, cus he is about to go heavy into the crating profession. The MC makes decent decisions and the story has a tendency of upsetting my predictions. I also like how the author has skillfully and naturally managed to avoid most of the cliche isekai fantasy tropes. All of which are signs of a good writer and an interesting story.

This is a pretty good one- stopping for now because I've caught up and I'm a dirty binge-reader. Things are thought out, there isn't a whole lot of nonsense plotholes. If I had to knock off some points, it would be because Roland's thoughts (or the exposition) tend to wander quite a bit- we even get long-winded explanations going on in his mind mid-combat at times. It's a personal preference for keeping the flow of the story moving, even at the expense of getting in-depth explanations, though it's obvious Kuropon is giving this work some thought.
If you're on the edge about deciding to give it a read, try the first ten chapters and see what you think. As for me, this is going on my 'revisit in six months' list.
Also- while it IS a LitRPG, it doesn't feel clunky like one. I'd also say the Martial Arts tag is... debateable.

Slow story but excellent world building to make up

One of the most well written stories. The story is captivating and worth all the praises and support it has.? Kuddos to the author @kuropon.

The story is pretty nice. Very slow paced which is exactly what I was looking for when I filtered for slice of life stories. I really like how the author has the MC progress in his relationships with people. He never starts randomly trusting someone at their first meeting.
It is also very pleasant when he leaves a place where is friends are that he, thus far, never sees them again which would make perfect sense in a world where there is no easy means of long distance transportation.
