THE TRUCK STRIKES AGAIN!!! A man sees a cat on the road, he save the cat from getting hit by a truck. The cat lives, the man dies, the truck continues trucking.

Story: Anyway, a protagonist having the job of Blacksmith is not that rare, but in this story we get detailed descriptions of the crafting process that is usually just skipped. But it's surprisingly boring to read about how the hammer is used, or how the fire is managed... Reading about it is boring. Seeing it in real life, now that would be interesting.
The world is very well made. The animals have great ... descriptions, the town rules and overall society is interesting and not too exaggerated. Human supremacy, slavery and corrupt nobles etc, it's not as dramatized as some stories, like the Shield Hero for example.

The biggest problem is the authors writing style. It's his first published novel, and it shows. The first chapters uses to many synonyms for "said", and also tries too hard to clarify who said what. He said. She responded. He asked. She answered. He stated. She added. We don't need clarifications after every spoken line to know who said what. Especially when there's only two people in the conversation. Luckily, after that first few chapters the author decreased the amount of dialogue attribution to make the conversations have a better flow. The author can also force certain plot events to move fast in unrealistic ways.
"I want a merchant to sell my stuff for me."
Five Seconds Later: "Hey you, I'm opening a store, and I want to sell your stuff there." Lucky!

Characters: A girl wants to live with the protagonist. A second girl literally begs to live with the protagonist. A third girl shows up at the protagonists house. A fourth girl, fifth girl, sixth girls etc. The Isekai Problem. You need to introduce every type of girl that this fantasy world has to offer. Not to sound gay, but a male companion wouldn't be that bad. Kakashi-sensei (naruto) was so popular, it's surprising we rarely see similar roles in isekai stories. So, ignoring the morally questionable girls, the personalities are also pretty strange. The inner monologues of the protagonist are inconsistent. And the speech pattern of the characters are very irregular.

Overall: Like many other isekai, the characters are the biggest flaw. Carry home a passed out girl, take off her clothes and touch her body, and she will love you for it, according to this story. It's worse than Snow-White being forcefully kissed while sleeping... We have a dwarf girl, which means she's tiny. We have a tiger-girl with big boobs, though she's just 5years old. The protagonist might be a 40year old man, but he sure as hell don't want a 40year old woman living with him. Personally, I love older women like Tsunade (naruto) a lot more than legally questionable girls.

Long story short. If you like isekai (I do), this story is perfectly average, bad characters but a interesting world. However, if you have a general dislike for isekai. Run. Run fast, run far.
