It's an Isekai LitRPG story with a heavy and very detailed focus on crafting. Currently readable for free on Royalroad.com.
Our MC gets killed and Isekai'd into the body of a baby in another world. It's your typical beginning, but it seems I'll never tire of them if there's at least a little bit of originality. I enjoyed it perfectly well.
When our MC picks up smithing, the novel becomes quite a bit more unique. The more martial side of things won't be neglected either. After all, it's not good to be weak in a world where personal strength trumps law and order.
The setting and the world seem pretty complex and thought-out. There's a complex economy within the area the MC lives in just as there's a complex ecology within the local biome, and more than a semblance of balance between people living there and the beasts and monsters that are native to it.

+ male-to-female rebirth, where the MC properly becomes the female
+ Cozy and loving family vibes
+ No blue boxes, seamless conversion to Ereader
- Every time the MC looks at her stats/skill gain you get the entire list, and the list is long. Later you'll also see which skill specifically leveled, and how much it leveled. Which I like, but I'd wish that was all that was shown.
+/- It feels more like an PF than litrpg, despite the stats, because there is no pop-up of gains, the MC only gets to know their gains when they look at their profile window.
- Uses different measurements of time and seasons (because a different planet), yet knows exactly how tall people are (with no measurements), and how fast one is running in miles.

The story stop being about smithing pretty quickly and turns into a power fantasy trip.
The author also started a Partreon to support his writing and then disappeared for 6 months without telling anyone what was going on.
The story starts out as a single point of view narrative in which the reader learns about the fantasy world with the protagonist. After a while the author runs out of ideas and starts putting in constant new points of view to add extra exposition about the fantasy world instead of sticking with the narrative style.
The whole story turns to shit thanks to that, as more side content is written than actual story progression. In turn the main story starts to be come hasty and the MC gets tons of free power and magic because of "plot reasons" and "luck".
Its dumb and one of the worst stories because the author completely wastes a great opportunity for a good story.

Strong start with slow, steady progression. The story was just getting into the meat of the world lore when author went on hiatus. I don’t expect this story to continue but it was good while it lasted.

Up to date through RR (web serial) at one hell of a cliff. A lovely read throughout.

January 16, 2025Hmmm, idk how to rate the this. Why?
1. I read this on Royal Road and at first I was enjoying it, cause apparently reading about ppl craft stuff and actually be competent really does it for me
2. Then somewhere around chapter 90ish, the author starts to switch the heroine’s personality. Up until then, sis is mature, makes semi rational decisions and I liked her thennnnnn all of a sudden sis starts to grow immature, making reckless decisions and is prone to angry outbursts
While this is expected of a 15 year old, the issue is that’s not how she’d been in the beginning at least since she became a semi-adult
So I’m plenty mad
3. The writing really is not good, and I was willing to overlook it but as the story progresses it really becomes riddled w spelling mistakes, more than a few words are taken out of sentences and it’s just not good
Hmm, the first bit of the story is a solid 3 ish stars but for the rest? 1.5 stars? So yeah not a fan of the direction it seemed to be going

A great book. Sadly i do not recommend anyone read it.
Why ? Once again the author seems to have gone poof.. And left readers to wonder if they will ever see the end of the story. so yea. If you are interested in the book. I would wait until the series is finished.
I am not holding my breath with this author though. Has a history of dropping off the face of the planet for long periods with no word or warning.
