...yeah, they definitely skipped a lot of details.
So much so that at first I thought this was just a "what if" montage playing in his head.

But well, if the author didn't do that, there'd be a lot of questions to answer they apparently didn't want to bother with.

If the MC was suspected for being unemployed they could have easily found out that he had employment until the very day before.
There should be no evidence linking him to the crimes. With his earlier report the culprit forging some would raise suspicion.
If the police force is corrupt, how can that be with the skill system setup as it is?
Are there no people in the judicial system with a skill that'd allow them to determine his innocence?
Are we to assume that the serial rapes just stop at this point, because it'd be quite strange were they to continue with the alleged rapist locked away?
What kinda garbage tier piece of shit is that god? ("I want a skill to make my family happy." "Oh sure, here, take this unprecedented, but very specific skill without any explanation on how it works. I'm sure it'll be fine pffft...")

All these open and very obvious problems (at least at this point) don't make me hopeful for this story's future.

well, the opening of Ch1.1 was kinda mad and the ending of Ch1.2 felt rather dumb, i hope next chapters, if @Diseofer were to continue, would fleshen out the story more than this.

To be a clockmaker one must ask, what truly is a clock?

Nah I'm just kidding. But what if you slapped a clock in the hilt of a sword? Do you suddenly know how to repair the sword or just the clock?

So, it's a one of a kind job, that their own holy book lists as a direct subordinate of God, and it's just "well whatever go to the craftsmen's guild for your minimum wage job, I guess," like seriously?

This feels very forced, but also so much more tame than other "my profession was considered terrible until I figured out it was good" mangas... I'm used to everyone turning on the MC, or some particular antagonist orchestrating the MC's downfall after finally getting an edge (like having some superior skill). Whereas here it seems that only the author is against the MC due to how the setting seems to be designed terribly while everyone still seems to like the MC.

His engagement is canceled on account of his weird skill, but it isn't like everyone gets immediately toxic and elitist about it. The former fiancé seems regretful, and like it is the church forcing her. Nothing like the fiancé immediately jumping ship to some antagonist that has the "hero" skill and saying she never loved him. And I'm willing to forgive a lot of people about this since the law requires that he works in a profession related to his skill, so people with sucky skills have to work in sucky professions even if it's against their will, apparently even if they could have been usefully employed in a different profession. Would you want to marry someone who has been forced by the law to have to work in some terrible job and be miserable for the rest of their life?

Firing the MC wasn't enough to make him a wooby, and it was an actually reasonable reason like having an extremely niche skill that isn't that useful in a general practice. The only part that was weird was that he got hired in the first place, with the author having to invent a special law that forces people to work in professions related to their skills and that those places have to hire him... But then that would give the MC job security and we can't have that, so the law apparently doesn't prevent the job from firing him later.

Now the author checks his watch (haha...) and realizes he still hasn't figured out a way to get the MC to figure out his skills... Uh... Let's also pin a crime on him. And that crime isn't one pinned on him by someone that hates him / hates clockmakers, it's just a random criminal that noticed the MC's hot friend and the MC is in the way. Oh, right, the MC apparently has a hot friend that is nice to him. She totally wasn't invented just now just so the criminal had a reason to mess with the MC...

Edit: oh, nevermind, it seems like the author completely switches personalities in the next chapter after and starts to really turn the world against the MC. How dare I judge the author's style from just one chapter...

Well, that was idiotic. The MC is also an idiot if he becomes a hero after this. At most, he should become an antihero who brings a bloody revolution to that corrupt kingdom. Though that being said, it would be smarter to just make a neighbouring, rival kingdom stronger, until things turned ugly. But I guess this isn't an edgelord story, despite having a haphazard beginning like this.

First of all, I would curse the fucking god who gave me that shitty ability. Second, after becoming OP, I wouldn't come back as a hero. I would come back to destroy everyone who made my life miserable or despised me, starting with my ex-fiancée, sister, guild, police, and the pharmacist who didn't defend me despite supposedly knowing and trusting me.

Later I would destroy the fucking kingdom. Then I would spit in the fucking god's face and finally I would leave for another kingdom.

The reason all of this will never be addressed is because the story has to happen, and the author isn't clever and/or creative enough to get there without some dumb stuff.
