    I read the first 17 chapters, despite everything, it's a nice work, it's not horrible as I read in some comments but it's not the most perfect work, as I'm just starting out I can only talk about it now, and for now it's nice, it seems to be a more slice of life story, you can read it leisurely in your free time, before going to sleep, or if you have nothing else to read, an okay work would be my first impression, only the writing suffers a little, but if you don't mind that it's fine.

      Unfortenatly, this is one of those novels with an extremely slow start. The crafting starts getting really exciting around ch 150 or so.

    I keep coming back to this novel on accident looking for a different novel I can't remember the name of. If anyone can help please respond. From what I remember it was on this site and there was a dude that was the last survivor of his planet, but he had a system that let him trade with other planets. And he was considered the best smith. He made friends with a girl on the system and somehow transmitigated to another planet where she is.

      It might be Everyone Else is a Returnee, it's not exactly what you described but it's really similar, it's also a good read and completed if you wanna try

        I've read that one. And I liked it but that wasn't what I was talking about. The one I read it was a dude that was really old and he treated the girl like a little niece. I remember reading it forever ago and didn't finish it and can't find it now.

    This is not a novel that is huge on action. It is a SLICE OF LIFE novel, and will accordingly have a mostly slice of life theme. For instance, instead of Roland running around the continent killing random beasts, he creates a base of operations and lives there permanently. He is constantly trying to build new and improved gadgets and is just trying to live his best life. This won't have amazing action 100% of the time. But, it will be pretty good. The beginning is a*s, and will take a long time to get through. But it does get good and the author is currently cooking up something good right now, hopefully. I would just consider him to be a low budget Iron Man, especially in the later chapters. But a pretty decent read, other than the horrendous grammar. The formatting did get messed up when transporting from the other website. So if you are on mobile, good luck. Would like to mention that he is passive. He will not look out for trouble, and is married, so no harem. Expect forced plot.

    Couldn't get past ch 12. Felt like I was reading (watching) a generic isekai plot. Just couldn't get into it.

    No clean writing, writer mix up and force situation instead making good plot, throughout this webnovel.

    I found this to be an enjoyable.The mc is a loner and is distrustful at first.But he has his reasons and certain incidents only reinforced this trait of his.Even then he did have some meaningful relationships and now he is coming out his shell and opening unto others.Being able to reach his target and the trials had a great part in it.And his partner helped as well.Honestly,I thought the romance was pretty realistic.They come to care and love each other over time instead of a burning passionate romance.I'm waiting to find out how he confronts his past.I'm also curious about the reason for the reincarnation.The first chapter was one of the weirdest I've seen.I hope I find out soon.

      Glad you wrote this comment. I actually like a bit of romance in my stories, so I was on the fence about starting this novel when I saw that it had no romance tag.

    Well, currently at chapter 171 and I think I will drop it. Writing is OK, not good, not bad. Time skips are weird . sometimes author's time sense is all over the place, but it's bearable. What broke it for me is the romance. author just wrote it to get it over with. Like, from NO WHERE the MC got married and he has a wife now. They were a fit, but WHERE IS ALL THE BACKSTORY? Just one chapter they are together from no where and a couple chapters after they are married. Like, WTF? WHEN? WHERE? Yeah, that's all. >>>>>>>>If you have nothing to read, this is fine I guess. 6/10

        Nah, the author calls Elodia his wife in that chapter. Go ahead and double-check if you want, the comments there are confused too. Anyway, I didn't drop the novel and I'm currently at chapter 400.

    It is a fun novel but update is so slow. May get boring but crafting and stats related parts in all novels I usually skim through after certain point it is not possible to remember all skills and stats.

    "I stopped at chapter 204, I'm finding it boring to read! The reason is simple: the story seems like an endless cycle of repetitions."

      Chapter 354 - I don't deny that the story is repetitive, but that's simply because that's how it should be. Any story that involves professions like "blacksmith" will always have the classic: "search for materials -> make better equipment -> power up" in a continuous cycle, this is as true for this story as for "The Legendary Mechanic", simply because it is the building block of this profession, but the plot itself always changes.
