@theziggyed: I had a look and can't actually find a source anymore so I might be full of shit here (definitely remember seeing something before though...), can only see a now dead forum link when I look it up.

lol , no one even bothers to comment .
here is my thoughts of the 1st chapter :
https://mangaplus.shueisha.co.jp/viewer/1008116
after a food manga , now the mangaka is making a building manga . food and building / house / shelter are 2 of the 3 basic needs : https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Basic_needs
if this manga gets axed , maybe he will make a clothing manga next ( the last basic need ) : how to make shirts , pants , under-wears , panties , trunks , bras , .... , and how to wear panties , lol .

https://mangaplus.shueisha.co.jp/viewer/1008116
the color pages have too many bright colors , they are hurting my eyes . this manga is for 6-years-old kids ?
the main character is a 6-years-old kid , how dare he has a tattoo on his face ???
- i finally made it ... at last , my long-awaited home ... my castle is finally complete .
( a few pages later ) - your house get busted apart AGAIN ?
- so that was actually not his 1st house . then why did he get so excited ???????
page 18 : so someone built a great wall for donald trump to stop the illegal mexicans , lol .
page 23 : so the master is always carrying a big cage around with him ?????? or he can make that big cage in just 1 second ????? and the boss troll can survive inside that cage without any foods or waters for 3 years ?????
no human can live on this dangerous hammer island , but for centuries , some more weaker animals like penguins , kappas , can live here just fine ?????
after destroying the house , instead of just killing the little brother and the penguins , the boss troll is just standing there for dozen of minutes , waiting for the big brother to arrive , then waiting for the brothers to say dozen of lines for 8 pages , then he finally punches ??????
last pages : on this desert island , the animals can make all kinds of fashionable clothes ????? where do they get all kinds of materials ?

My honest opinion on the manga:
Art is okay
The base idea of "building magic" is original.
However, the story seems average and there are inconsistencies, just like @daywithoutgames said.
And we have the typical "how did he manage to survive this far" kind of MC. I'm not asking for a complete cheater of a hero, but I guess I'm expecting too much from a Jump series whose goal is to rival One Piece.
In the end, I think this manga is too average and will be axed in a few months (at best). Just to be clear though: my opinion is purely neutral, therefore not influenced by how controversial the author is (and yes, I understand what he did in the past and I do not approve it).

Okay, so I scrolled through the first 3 available chapters of this.
The story is nonsensical. You don't need to 'read' anything to understand what the author is trying to tell. Looking at the pictures alone is enough to get the gist of it.
So far it's weaker than Torikos start, because the whole food theme was way easier to relate to than the whole house building theme.
The characters are alright, but not nearly as cool as Toriko or as relatable as Komatsu. Both MCs are kinda avarage so far.
I really think this lives and dies on how much time the author gets before this manga dies to make this world setting and characters more appealing. I really think the author is good at unique world building which can really only be shown over time.

1) The thing was, it was explicitly Enjo Kosai, where even if she *was* lying about her age, he still solicited a high school girl, so that doesn't exactly make things better, because he's still going for a girl marketing herself as a high school girl
2) He actually *wasn't* punished, because his sentence got suspended. No, getting your manga axed doesn't count when your best friend is Oda, who can just call in a favor to get you back in.

More or less. We know that Oda has gone on record about how Shimabukuro (and later Watsuki) are totally good people and didn't do anything wrong and done massive campaigns to try and fix their reputation. It wouldn't be surprising in the least to hear that he is responsible for Toriko getting published in the first place and from what I recall, towards the middle of its run, Toriko just was underperforming despite all the attention it was getting with cover pages, and we can presume Oda just kept going, "Nah, it's good! He'll pick up" or something like that
