This is by far one of the best isekai novels I've had the pleasure of reading. The story walks a fine line where the MC is reasonably clever for their age, is not all boringly overpowered nor does it turn into torture p*rn tragedy.

You may see some attempts at presenting an interesting crafting system in other novels, but I've yet to see anything come close to how good this is.

In the end, it looks like the author started second-guessing himself all the time and rewrote things to the point where he gave up. Truly a pity as he had done a pretty great job till then. It's not like having an infodump here and there will suddenly turn a story into trash so long as the frequency is kept moderate.

I'm usually not a person that usually write reviews but, I feel like I can't really stop myself to write because of all positive and negative things that make me feel. It's only my personal opinion so, I hope people that read this review this take it with a grain of salt.

Short version: It's a very well done story please read it if you enjoy some realistic tragedy, Isekai, and slice of life.

Long version:

Let's start with the world building, overall it's a pretty decent world building with a lot of detail and mystery air to it, it's kind of boring at times but, I still enjoy the lore that has been given. We don't know much what actually happened that makes Shiro end up in this predicament, but it had some kind of dreadful feeling to it. You will find some hints through the story that makes you think that some things aren't quite right with the protagonist's conditions.

So the story oh boy, the story, it's very excellent, the portrait of discrimination and bullying pretty much feel a bit too real for me, I can't tell you how much time I have been screwed over like her in the past, and it brings back some bad memories with it. I just want her to be happy goddammit! She certainly deserves every single happiness that she's trying to procure. Well, the author said the tragedy will subside at vol 5 or 6 so, I'm still groaning in pain until it was finally published.

BUT, because of that every time we see her happy with her life and generally having fun, you can't help but, think of how will the world screw her over this time? It's a never-ending murphy's law, it always pains me to see her take the blame for things that she has no control over. Come on man, she's like 12, I feel like she's should be a bit older than that to be able to bare all the pain that she been through. 

The crafting mechanic was great, there isn't much boring detail to skim over, having the putting your heart and soul to an object to make it overall better, is a nice touch since I think every creator of any kind can relate to such mechanic. It has some consequence of course, and you know it will bite the protagonist on the back sooner or later.

To summarise it's like you're watching a horror movie. You can't help to voice scream of concerns on some decisions that she makes, well, she's 12 so, it makes sense she have some naive side of her. But, as a fellow coward, I feel like she should be even more sensitive to her surroundings. She will pretty much be a hard boil protagonist at the later volumes if this keeps up since everything wants to screw her over. 

Well, it's the author's intentions to write this realistic story and make me feel like a gooey mess, so good job author for making feel like crap in a good way, I can't wait until it finally reaches volume 5-6.

Amazing! I expecially love how the protagonist loves developing certian skills like a real person that enjoys doing certian things.

This was the first novel I ever read online, and is my favorite to date. I just wish it was no longer on hiatus. All good things must come an end, but this one ended too soon. Or something philosophical like that. A good read still.
