I like the art that went into the design of the building and the story's overall concept, what I don't like is the design of the co-MC, to be precise; the design of the Master Dwarf, Kirk. Come on, using a child like design for a character that is supposed to be mature, rich in life experiences and highly skilled at a given profession?
"Oooh its okay because he is supposed to be a dwarf". Then lean heavily into a dwarven design. I find a child like character, annoying. Whether their behavior is childlike(goofy, fun loving, etc etc) or serious or smug, its all the same to me; downright annoying.
Stepping away from the char design, the building design, from chapter 1 and 2 looks good for a fantasy setting. Really stepping away from lots of other fantasy, fantasy-isekai and modern fantasy's structural designs.
Reminds me of this two page promo art for Naruto Shippuden. The one where Kakashi, Naruto, Sasuke and Sakura were reimagined as Dungeon and Dragon or Dragon Quest class/job stereotype. In the background there is a glimpse of a very detailed log cabin.
