Possibly the Greatest Alchemist of All Time：Izure Saikyou No Renkinjyutsushi Vol.１
Takumi Iruma, although not a hero, got caught up in a hero summoning spell and was reborn in another world. As an apology for getting him involved, a goddess of this world agreed to grant him any skill he wanted! He was hoping to use a humble crafting skill to live a peaceful and modest life in this other world, without having to battle anyone... but the Alchemy skill he was granted turned out to be the most powerful skill with the ability to create anything from a holy sword to a flying ship! With the cheat-level skills he acquires by chance, he makes a lot of money in business and is unbeatable in battles! The long-awaited first volume of this comical and heartwarming “isekai” tale of the strongest alchemist is finally here!

I’ve been looking for books with little to no angst that can relax me. This series was perfect. I highly recommend it if you need to escape stressful reality and just relax. I can’t wait for the next part!

I hunted this down just to complain about the anime, which seems like will be a habit for me as these isekai clones start coming over en masse.
The main problem with this one is it's EXACTLY I Got a Cheat Skill in Another World and Became Unrivaled in The Real World, Too, except Takumi is killed (or, separated from his body) vs. arbitrarily given an overpowered cheat ability and still able to return to his home world. Like Yuuya, he just OBTAINS abilities—endlessly—without apparent limit, as some reward (or, in Takumi's case, as apology) for being a kind person who just wanted to do good. Takumi even lets people he trusts know about things he should keep secret (light magic as an exceedingly rare ability, the fact that his Item Box is limitless when it's supposed to be extremely limited), only realising after the fact that he should have kept quiet and promises not to do it again (but does it again).
The problem is, I've already read Yuuya's story, and Takumi's is sort of a "no, they're not SUPPOSED to be able to go back to their home world!" version of the exact same story, so while I could tolerate the anime for a bit as a workout distraction in the gym (why I normally watch so much isekai trash, haha), the part where Papeck suggests Takumi gets help with his work by acquiring slaves—
—okay no. This is becoming too prominent a trend in manga/anime, this whole "slaves are the ultimate trustworthy party, because they can't defy you!" shtick. I don't care how "nice" the main character is as a master, if the story can't give a GENUINELY GOOD-HEARTED CHARACTER friends or companions WITHOUT resorting to slavery, I don't want it.
The saving grace is Kaede is super cute for a killer spider monster. I *would* keep watching for her, but... sorry, I'm done with "good" slavery stories, please. Only rating this short of recommending setting the book on fire because Takumi isn't actually a villain calling himself a hero.
Edit to add: Takumi also reminds me of a poor person's Luciel, who is in almost exactly the same situation WITHOUT needing slaves. (Both are pretty forgettable, though.)

Enjoyable
I thought I was buying a light novel, but was actually a Manga. The story is a normal tale and has a good progression. I'm looking forward to reading the next two.

Awesome. Loved it. The anime is the reason I came to read the manga.
