Basic premise: Talented alchemist has been slowly rediscovering list techniques in the background, lacked the right type of mana to advance his job path. Gets sent to Demon territory as sacrifice, Demon territory actually wanted envoys, not sacrifices, also has the type of mana he needed to complete the job change. Alchemist unlocks the hax powers of a high level production job, can now create a lot of cool stuff. Finds a sussy mail-order catalog full of useless junk that would need magic to even work... But they're in a world with magic. Alchemist boy recreates the items, now with crazy cheat-like properties, and gives them to ppl while also unknowingly cultivating a battle harem.

Short review: The artwork, while clean and mostly easy to follow, is actually quite bland. The item designs, especially on wham shots, are quite detailed but the time constraints really show themselves in several places. Waifu design wise, most of the girls are fairly standard-fare forgettable, with an innocent horned maid, tsundere twintails demon lord, and the battle empress being teased as a future waifu. The only really memorable one by chapter 10 is the tanned girl with the runaway magic, and that's because before she gets the cheat item cure from the MC she's either in a full set of armour or naked. Also her skin color makes her pop out a bit from the mostly pale cast. The story itself is fairly standard fare stuff, with the typical softboi mc, who, in a small twist, doesn't have super murdering skills. Instead, he produces support items for other ppl. The story, at least, doesn't present any glaring plot hole that destroys your immersion, so you can shut your brain off and enjoy it as a low brainpower read.

Final rating: 5.5/10, an extra half point for good item design.

is there any place you can read without the chapter being chopped up?

It's a terrible, terrible manga, BUT it's the good kind of terrible. It's like that one manga "frontier alchemist" but done by someone with half the IQ. I don't recommend putting too much thought into this manga and instead just skim through the chapters without reading too much. There is too much text in some panels, and you'll just wear yourself out trying to read it all.

I'm just here for Mabel. Though not here too often anymore because it looks like Trap has dropped this (and mostly retreated to their awful, hard-to-navigate site) and mangattack's mtl was bad and they seem to mostly concentrate on Chinese manhua now.

Someone decent pick this up.

Man, thanks for the translator for their work.

But if i can complain a bit, although my english is sucks this translation always make you wonder " what the fuck are they talking about, that doesn't make sense"


Like the manga tho.

Am I the only one who thinks the MC of this manga has gone from an interesting character to, Holy crap, what the heck is wrong with you? Why are you acting like a different person?

This manga is what happens when you want to write a story about a production character making cool things, but have terminal anime brainrot. The author's disease left them without enough imagination to design items without referencing a JP shopping catalogue, but just enough to give those items funny/powerful effects.

5/10, good for a couple chuckles, not to be read while your neurons are active.

EDIT: Shit, nearly left out a vital part - Trap-scans did a damn good job with the TL of this series. It is unironically a pleasure when the "wtf" factor comes from the story rather than the translation.

His ability is just deus ex machina, he can just solve any problem with an item he creates from thin air and imagination. The MC doesn't even need to understand the mechanics or phenomenon behind his items, he just wills them into being. There's also never a magical or technical description of the items, or failures that need to be tested or reworked. It's a success 100% of the time, the first time. It's a complete wish fulfillment story with pathetic villains.
