Is using metalworking tools on a gemstone really that wise? Reshaping it into a barrel means it's basically metal.

I know you need the cliche opening to show the mc is underappreciated but a machinist is one of the few high skilled jobs that you can't easily replace.

I feel like a machinist isekai could probably work, this one however definitely ain’t it

Yeah, but the sort of artisan machinist job that he has is actually a real thing that existed and disappeared historically in Japan (from what I’ve read at least)
Also, I don’t understand the whole “more accurate than a machine” thing 💀 like bro it’s in the name, they use machines lmao yes it takes skill but cmon

Well only the machinist knows how to program and set up the precise cnc machines. I've heard of inept middle management insisting they can be replaced with 3d printers which obviously lack the precision for anything important.

Machinists are scary. They know practical math, physics, and chemistry as well as engineers and they don't mind burning the house down to jerryrig their own solutions. They're up there with doomsday peppers for people who would actually be useful stranded on an island or being isekai'd.

nah yeah I know being a machinist takes a lot of know how, I’m just saying it also involves machines, they aren’t turning metal by hand. Could be a bad translation though tbh

Also unfortunately this series’ machinist seems to be very much a magical supergenious and very much not a machinist which makes me very sad, I would read the hell out of an actual machinist isekai that was interested in the manufacturing side of things, and then like comparing what he can produce to medieval stuff :glee:

Too much dicking. Even if you are perfectly right about performance, you do not make fundamental alterations in the property of another without prior permission. And, with a large supply of alternative materials, the motivation for making the alteration even with permission isn't there.
It's a fictional story... such boundaries don't matter as much.

Hell, it's only now where people are less connected and more detached where it matters more...

In the older days, we didn't have as much boundaries... if you visit older communities, they are much more friendly and intrusive (in a good way) towards each other.

Hell, it wasn't unusual for neighbors to just walk into the house without knocking in older days (my grandpa and older friends were always like this).

  • Fictional perversity remains perverse.
  • You're wilfully setting aside the point that he could have created essentially the same tool without touching hers.
  • He wasn't an established member of her community.
  • Her community had grossly abused her, so she should not be expected to welcome a communal subversion of her autonomy.
  • In different eras, different trespasses tend to prevail. Smart cultural relativism doesn't presume that one's own culture is in all ways superior; stupid cultural relativism presumes the ways of other cultures are at least as good. “They did/do it differently!” is not a positive argument for how they did/do it.

They need to make an isekai manga about that Austrian hobby machinist who can make beyond-machine precise spheres by touch

Machines are not perfect and not more precise than the supremely talented people that design and manufacture them. They are, however, consistent and ubiquitous. That's why we need them.
