I really like it. So far it has more of a mature slice-of-lifeish vibe. The parts about smithing/enchanting weapons are pretty interesting and the author has put thought into how the MC plies his trade.

The characters are pretty fun, and the story is pretty comedic despite not having the tag.

So far, as to what's translated, the series is sort of whatever. It's basically an episodic series of our MC blacksmith and resident swordsman, Shea, going around killing various monsters. There's no real plot to speak of so far, and it doesn't hold my interest enough to follow it on a chapter-by-chapter basis. It looks like the plot finally picks up in volume 2, which is good because otherwise this would be a really forgettable series about killing monsters, of which are a dime a dozen. I recommend waiting until... more>> at least 2 volumes are translated before reading, because volume 1 just seems to be the setup. Just like how Dungeon Meshi eventually had to move beyond "the gang meets a new monster and eats it, " this series has to move beyond "the gang fights a new monster, MC makes a new weapon, they kill it, repeat."

The art is really nice, at least.

TL: The TL seems fine and it reads nice, for the most part. Every now and then, there are some wonky sentences and grammar, so it could use an extra proofreader to go over it beforehand. Some of the name choices are also weird, but you get used to it. <<less
