@Epicredeemer The profile of the plane reminds me so much of the Bell P-59 that I suspect the artist googled something along the lines of "early jet plane" and went with that. Also there are so many ways to kill yourself in a plane. A parachute does not even begin to cover it. Like, do you know your flight ceiling? What's your stall speed? How high are those gently sloping hills over there really? Oh you don't know? Well... bye.

@Kanol P-59 is exactly what I was thinking too, but yeah. for a manga about a magical engineer, the author shows barely surface level knowledge of engineering

Yeah, but they're tokusatsu ninjas.

Don't you know Inverse Ninja Law? The effectiveness and power of a ninja is directly inverse to the number of ninjas extant in the battle.

A billion ninjas will explode if you sneeze in their direction. ONE ninja is an invincible killing god who could shatter a world's gathered fighting force.

I think this is one of those occasions were the manga is better than the novel, mostly cuz the novel has a lot of description of him making shit,and yes thats the point of the story, but it gets boring and repetitive. The manga on the other hand can show you the characters around the mc and how they react and behave about the things he make so that keeps the feeling fresh

Damn you author! You should have called them the Centurions instead of the Golem Rangers.
If you know about them then I can guess that we're on the same age generation lol
Seeing that image brings back childhood memories.

@BatuMenhir
Macross influence I guess, and I think having those is sick.

@GM_Rusaku but maybe those can be added later :p

@BatuMenhir for me it is a good idea, you don't need to imagine them as legs, right, not like it will "fuck" the plane, right? *wink* *wink*

I wonder how slow that jet is, around 300-600 kmh I'm guessing. The wing design isn't very good for anything above that iirc, it was what fighters used in ww2. Tho if he was making it to have a recon plane then I guess a slower aircraft is useful for more time to gather info as you go above somewhere.

@BatuMenhir - he doesn't have knowledge to make proper suspension. So he built what he does best - golem parts.

@Epicredeemer - MC isn't supposed to be a well-trained engineer. Just a jack-of-all trades with broad knowledge of modern technology. Things he makes mostly work through brute force, not refined design.

"A gun is a bit too lethal."
Horseshit. A sword in the gut is just as lethal as a bullet.

"I can't even ise it as a threat."
No shit sherlock, its not supposed to be a threat, its supposed to be a tool to save your fucking life. A random stick with paint and crystals glued to it isn't threatening either, but people in this world have learned to fear shit that doesn't look like a weapons, but acts like it. You could wave around a non-magical stick with paint and crystals glued to it and get the same result from them, at least for a little while.

"I can create a gun, but things like gunpowder and calculating chamber pressures are a pain in the ass."
Are you too stupid to understand metallurgy or the principles required to build an airplane too, asshole? Firearms were invented hundreds of years before airplanes. You made a MAGIC FUCKING JET ENGINE, get it together you hack.

The author is basically saying "guns are too dangerous/immoral, but its fine if I give a sharp object that can cut through anything to a robot that has already demonstrated zero appreciation for the value of human life."

Long time novel reader here (as in, since chapter 1 of the novel was first translated) and I've always had the impression that the author just skims a Wikipedia article for most stuff, then fills in the blanks with magic to gloss over the rest, like "magi silver" to replace composites and "magi thrusters" to replace the inner workings of various types of jet engines, etc. Consider 'rule of cool' to be in full effect here, if only because the author doesn't do much research.
