I like how this was handled tbh, taking a job or making stuff for a noble is pretty much a staple for isekai's but more often than not its treated as trivial or done as a quick montage and the finished product being shown all the while the mc gets praised for his idea and unique vision, its refreshing how grounded this has been in comparison esp with our mc getting shut down on his early concepts and even running into trouble when he tried implementing his current one and the bit with the sculptor was just a nice cheery on top

Jow soft was that stone for that Cid? guy to just use hands with his chisels and not need a small mallet or hammer.
Or should I ask how sharp were those chisels.

"How was I supposed to catch that without testing it?"

In what universe are you not supposed to test things you're working on, ESPECIALLY if it's something you've never made before? That's like... basic craftsmanship. Of course you were supposed to test your contraption to make sure it worked like you thought it would. Because there's a very real (and very likely) chance that it doesn't since you're not 100% sure what you're doing in the first place...

This is what happens with rookie designers with no practical experience or training. A lot have vague but grand ideas of what they want, but don't actually know what's entailed in the actual production, or all that problems that come with the ideas that need to be hammered out. Temperature control of his heating system, control of the water production, outflow problems, material and production costs, like those hundreds of wind block tiles he wanted in a day...he's lucky Black Iron was so willing to teach him on-site.

And if the guild had a problem with the disruption of official protocol, how long was that job going? They had THAT long to give him a cease and desist order, or even file a complaint with the client. And yet we hear nothing in all this time, and the author is implying the full weight of bureaucratic BS is only going to land on the MC's head after?

Is nice to see the other craftsman interacting with the MC and the boss giving tips about things that are needed for the design to work.
I like the interactions. Also shows that the MC still has things to learn. Including common sense.

Looming threat of "officials" and "guild rules" and "political bullshittery"... Please no author, don't do it.
Even if mr noble whatever will poof it all away (right?), don't we deal with enough of that shit in real life already.
Hope so. Or that he just quits that guild since they insist on stopping him from doing what he wants.

Yeah, he's putting actual work into the project, rather than just having his cheat skills and/or isekai knowledge solve it for him. There are setbacks and redesigns before coming to better solutions. And it's also not taking several chapters to choose a specific rock.

what if that river is dammed up and then it floods because nobody knew there was a magic infinite water machine and whole towns are swept away in the resulting watery carnage
A river normally has a fairly constant flow anyway, and it usually comes from nearby hills and mountains that collect rain water. I don't think this would add much in terms of volume.

In what universe are you not supposed to test things you're working on, ESPECIALLY if it's something you've never made before?
I was wondering about that too. I thought he had tested it or knew enough about it to keep the temperature at a decent level. If you don't know, you do small-scale tests to see how things actually work, before you build the actual thing.

Man this is such a fun manga to relax to, really needed it after a pretty bad day.

Karen is such a hard working lil kid, i wonder if she'll end up becoming legendary bc she's learning these (absolutely brutal) methods of his.
