魔導具師ダリヤはうつむかない ～今日から自由な職人ライフ～ (Novel) #7
Dahlia in Bloom: Crafting a Fresh Start With Magical Tools Volume 7
The late autumn air is frigid, and it is the time for Dahlia to restart the development of a certain heating device from her previous world. However, the tool has a high price: it takes prisoners and is unwilling to listen to reason. Dahlia drags some very important guildmembers and merchants into her new invention, and the whole Kingdom of Ordine eats it up. Will Volf and the Rossetti Trading Company be able to resist the temptation the device creates to stay awhile and imbibe? Or will they surrender themselves and let it sap their energy and willpower? With new employees, Dahlia continues to lead her company to greater heights!

The series continues with Dahlia working on the table of decadence, and magic swords as well as dealing with the politics of it all. It is a highly entertaining story even if the reaction to some of the inventions feel a bit silly and the high amount of details on meals eaten and alcoholic beverages drunk. I really like these slow paced slice-of-life stories, light hearted and with some attention to crafting (even though sometimes the impact feels a bit exaggerated). All in all, a good read although at times a bit boring.

This volume was quite a bit more slow-moving than the last one, and the first 25% was a bit boring to me, but things picked up later and there are some interesting interpersonal changes that happen, as well as a new invention. I’m looking forward to the next volume, to see if there is more political fallout from the deadly invention from the last volume.

Other perspectives
One of Dahli-chan and Volf's wishes has come true, though honestly, it was more Volf's greatest wish. We also get to have more interaction with the other characters that have become part of our story. From a surprising sweet tooth to degenerative tables, our world inside the pages is fleshed out and our characters show their humanity.

Fun read
Another great entry to the series for fans! Davila charges ahead with new inventions and the lives of her friends continue to intertwine. Lots of funny moments and tender events, be sure to pick this one up and continue the series!

I can believe it but man I cannot believe volf wouldn’t tell her marriage is an option! I hope someone tells her early on in the next volume.

I love the table of degeneracy - its creation had a lot of laughable moments.
Of the things that annoy me about the series in general - the constant calling Volf a “youth.” And in general using overly flowery language to refer to people by their eye color. It’s like the author doesn’t have enough skill to denote a person without using different words for “blue” eyes (cerulean, blue, navy…etc). I also strongly dislike the way the Noble class is laid out. The polygamous marriages is fine, but something about the way they approach it is kind of off. This is a problem with many Asian novels, where they have a weird understanding of aristocracy in a western style. For example, Lucia says that there is a saying “better to marry an Earl than the second son of a marquis.“ And Dahlia is surprised because an Earl is a step down in rank. But it isn’t. An Earl is a higher position than a “mere” second son with no title of his own. And this is probably a translation thing, but it’s so awkward to say “X is from an earl family and her mother is from a marquis family.” It’s an “earldom” or “marquisate,” FFS. I just find it stupid that there is all this time wasted on the intricacies of aristocracy and how being elevated to the aristocracy is so troublesome when it’s not even correct. Why even be an aristocrat when you have to learn a lot of stupid manners or face serious consequences?
