Michael,
The book was nothing deep or moving, just a fun quick-paced read。 I wish the author had perhaps put in a bit more thought behind the blacksmithing itself, which could have been quite interesting。 However, the blacksmithing that drew me to the book was pretty much a background thing。 Sure, it happened constantly。 Sure, at first it was interesting。 By the end of the book, however, it was just something he did while zoning out and it was mostly glossed over。I still enjoyed the book, though。
poet,
This is very soft and nice。 It's pretty well what it says on the title。 I'm actually way less interested in the overall plot than just seeing this little family live happily。 It's relaxing。 Probably not for everyone but I like it。 This is very soft and nice。 It's pretty well what it says on the title。 I'm actually way less interested in the overall plot than just seeing this little family live happily。 It's relaxing。 Probably not for everyone but I like it。 。。。more
Pieter,
Eizo is a Japanese middle-aged software engineer who ends up in another world in a slightly younger body with the skills of an extremely good weapon smith。 What follows is very much a slice-of-life story set in a sword-and-maybe-sorcery fantasy world。 The life being that of a skilled smith living in the middle of nowhere enjoying a quiet life。 I like it as a nice change of pace, but there is no overarching plot, nor any conflict and no well developed world either。 If you are looking for somethin Eizo is a Japanese middle-aged software engineer who ends up in another world in a slightly younger body with the skills of an extremely good weapon smith。 What follows is very much a slice-of-life story set in a sword-and-maybe-sorcery fantasy world。 The life being that of a skilled smith living in the middle of nowhere enjoying a quiet life。 I like it as a nice change of pace, but there is no overarching plot, nor any conflict and no well developed world either。 If you are looking for something more action orientated, look elsewhere。 。。。more
Aelvana,
Eizo is granted a new life with his choice of abilities when he dies after rescuing a cat。 Now a blacksmith in a fantasy world, he aims to build himself the peaceful life he always wanted。The main problem is that the novel is supposed to be largely about crafting, but the crafting details are uninspiring at best, and downright wrong at worst (witness the hilarity of Eizo using clay molds to cast his swords and calling that the pinnacle of skill)。 It would have been better to either go into more Eizo is granted a new life with his choice of abilities when he dies after rescuing a cat。 Now a blacksmith in a fantasy world, he aims to build himself the peaceful life he always wanted。The main problem is that the novel is supposed to be largely about crafting, but the crafting details are uninspiring at best, and downright wrong at worst (witness the hilarity of Eizo using clay molds to cast his swords and calling that the pinnacle of skill)。 It would have been better to either go into more detail (with correct details) or less (and just let magic explain all the fiddly bits)。It's disappointing, because the story both tries to focus on the details, and then still defaults to "but I'm the awesomist because I got cheats。" Cheats brush away absolutely everything, like what makes one sword better than the other when the story can only offer spending a few more hours on it as a cop-out, without even saying what those extra hours are used for。The other characters were okay。 Nobody was excessively clingy (yet), or falling out of their clothing on purpose。 But that's about all。 I didn't really find any of them compelling, and nobody's got much complexity。 It's all simple motivations and interactions。Overall, this one should be skipped。 It's not even bad as much as aggressively mediocre。 I rate this book Neutral。See my reviews and more at https://offtheshelfreviews。wordpress。。。。 。。。more
