Frederica is a cutie, i hope shes a recurring character.

 

[Bibliothecarius]

Thanks for the chapter!!!!

The best part of Lidie returning is Samya and the rest of the girls back home had a bet Eizo was gonna bring another girl home and Lidie really did come home with him

Frederica is a cutie, i hope shes a recurring character.

She kinda is... in a Marius kinda sense. They meet a few more times in the city but so far she doesn't join his forge and in the novel there's an extra chapter where her descendant explained about some armor or something Eizo gave her to keepsake for the kingdom.

 

[Enalis]

Thank you for the chapter

Speed isn't even the issue. Something like that is unlikely to get the temperatures needed to properly work steel and iron.

It looks to me like he's using a coal fire setup(from my limited knowledge from forged in fire and what some people had for their own setups). That would easily heat the steel up to and above the temperature needed to repair or reforge the blades (hell, even blow through the blades if he's not careful) as needed though

MC goes through the effort of setting up firebricks yet he puts the hot coals directly on a wooden table.

A coal fire might be enough to temper steel (if it's relatively mild), but I can't imagine it cutting it for forging in such an open environment unless it was some special type of processed coal that burned exceptionally hot. This is the reason coke was such a revolutionary discovery, as it burns much hotter. It's from the industrial revolution though, so no way would a medieval kingdom have that.

Cute elf lady is back.

True, maybe he has the secret knowledge to make it and all that jazz because of his cheat. or because of magic and they're glossing over the finer details cause they consider the scene trivial that wasn't supposed to be scrutinized to this point 😆

No! Bad Kitty!! Stop right there.....

"Forged in Fire" is at best a show-and-tell on "How to use a modern grinder", you really don't want to know what actual smiths, black or otherwise, think of that bit of Hollywood Entertainment...

As pointed out out by HDMI1, his setup wouldn't even heat metal... It would burn a lovely hole in that WOODEN table pretty expediously though.. Even if he'd have lined the bottom with firebrick..
Besides the fact that the little handbellow he uses would be just about enough, probably, to huff and puff ash all over your BBQ meat.. The bellows you need is actually the largest thing in a field smithy, and often heavier than the actual anvil and firepit ( which is portable, and does not need constructing on-site....) combined.

This besides the other atrocities depicted in this chapter regarding smithing and damage to weapons.

Historical outdoor forges often had wooden bases, upon which firebrics and multiple layers of insulation, clays, sand etc were stacked. There's nothing fundamentally wrong with using wood, though obviously not like shown here, where the coals just lie on the table...

Or, bear with me here, the author wanted to write a smithing story but doesn't know anything about smithing and can't be bothered to actually do research into how things are done, so they're just going with, "Well, I imagine this probably works... with my limited knowledge that I have very little of..."

This is unfortunately the case with most manga, LN an pretty much anything classified as fiction. It's one thing when the topic just comes up in passing and has little if any role in the story, but as can be seen, hardly anyone's shy about giving the same treatment to central themes of their work. The only notable exception I've seen are stories with medicine as a major theme - authors usually know what they're talking about there.

Or cooking until the actual chef quits the team(?) and you got a man who seasons his food with a chainsaw somehow.
Looking at you food wars.

Spoiler

There is no fifth season of the anime

Sorry, no comment on that. I despise cooking IRL, so this genre bores me to death. I did once try a manga about bartending though and the amount of soul searching a glass of booze evoked in the characters made me constantly think the author was just trolling.

Ok yeah, loli tax accountant wife acquired XD

When I write, I try not to write anything that I don't at least have a passing familiarity about; when I wanted to write something involving butchery, I spent several weeks studying butchery just to make sure I got it right, and when I write about cooking in a professional kitchen, I have years of experience to draw on.

I'd never up and one day decide to write a legal drama without at least first doing a lot of research into the subject myself. Same would go with smithing.

But I'm also extremely anally retentive.
