Not to mention the weapons barely have any wood
But that butler was the only one not being excited and giving praise, instead he had a serious/concerned look to him… i wonder if he, at that point, realised that his ‘old master’ made a huge huge mistake
But i dont know if thats what his face was supposed to represent at the end 🧐
At least that’s my personal observation from years of anime watching and some casual Duolingo lessons.
He probably also extracted some mineral from the soil, since he had to remove some to make the foundation.
>

So he turned a wooden stake into a 'nanofiber block,' then turned that 'nanofiber' into a katana?
wot
Basically his magic is just literally 'magic.' He can make anything from anything kinda show, don't think about it LOOK THE MAID IS BEING CUTE AGAIN
Might be a bit too light for a weapon though.
A mansion is mostly made out of stone, he'd need to be careful to avoid the voids left from the material he used form creating instability, but he seems to have thought about it and made proper deep foundations.
Go deep enough underground and you're going to find stone in most places.
Earthen foundation, earthen walls and floors, tile roof
what stops them from making a nuclear bomb from a bunch of adamantite and some ores if he managed to turn a twig into a knife. essentially transmuting wood into iron
It explains why his power was considered so useless.
He is a walking industrial revolution, to be able to mass manufacture anything would make his land the richest domain in the kingdom.
He could produce gold and mithril... right? Oh, and tungsten, yes. For orbital weapon...
But apparently he has a monstrous reach in his ability to probe for materials. That diagram of the foundation looked like it stretched around 100 feet deep to me.
Meaning he could just walk through a mine tunnel and instantly extract and refine materials that would take hundreds of tunnels and millions of man-hours to mine and refine by mundane methods.
Probably because the characters actually have a bit of personality. The maid sulking over being gifted a creepy skull axe was great.
The one where he doesn't have a fun maid is hard to even watch. And the other one that didn't have much maid in the last episode definitely fell off.
If nothing else he's going to wind up a Duke with a domain to delligate the administration of to some poor sap or conniving admin.
There are some shows I'll watch because at least 1 character makes me happy to watch, like Strongest Sage with the Weakest Crest has the dragon girl who is the best. But that show refuses to give anyone a personality...
And yeah, it’s kinda obvious his production magic will prove useful. I guess this is kinda like those “banished from the hero’s party” shows where a “useless” power turns out to be good. In fact, not just good, it’s OP. Being able to build anything as long as you have the materials, I mean if he can build a mansion I’m sure he can build almost anything. Maybe this is where having knowledge from our world can help.
Really looking forward to how they develop this village. There’s infrastructure, defences, food, security to think about, but I think getting the people on his side might be a different challenge. I think using his magic to build new houses for them is s good start. Though, he already has some good people on his side. Glad to see the adventurers sticking around too.
Funnily enough, it’s been almost a year since I’ve played any games cos I’ve just been mentally drained to do so. But this show suddenly got me itching to get back into Manor Lords lol
I'm right there with you for the ride 🤘
I dont think its just due to the power itself. They said that people struggle to produce even a single weapon due to mana issues. He does not have any of these issues so can use the ability to an extent that for most would be impossible.
Next step should build better home for the villagers right?
aint gotta explain shit
Theoretically, he can create an antimatter bomb if he wanted.
Wait, where are the extra steps?
NANO FIBERS, SON!
because anybody who's played too many minecraft mods KNOWS FOR A FACT that wood is pretty much just waiting to become diamond with the right processes
/s
I mean... with the right process, you *could* turn wood into diamond.
It would uneconomical to do, but it's totally possible.
If he can control matter at the molecular level, it's not unbelievable.
Even a somewhat basic understanding of modern science and modern technology seems incredibly useful for that. And then there's the hack part of his skill which is the seemingly limitless mana
The knowledge helps, sure, but even without it, being able to create enough weapons for a small army in a single day is insane.
Khamsin said that most people with production magic struggle to make even one item. Which is why it's seen as bad, because it doesn't really increase productivity.
White paint is mostly titanium dioxide, which isn't exactly rare.
> Ti in surface soils worldwide ranges from 0.02 to 2.4% with a mean of 0.33%;
There's a chimney, and windows. that means fired bricks, and fused silicate at a minimum.
Seems like he can freely add any type of processing to any type of trace elements? and i'll point out that the number of metal weapons he made theres definitely NOT that much iron just available on the surface.
Out of Earth of course.
I'm more curious where the bright colors on the wood blocks came from 🤭
If the house is pre-furnished with wood, cotton, wool or leather, or has plumbing and appliances, that makes way less sense.
Not much creativity with the animation making blocks which suddenly become something else but the idea behind the magic is good enough. Curious about his mana pool and if being an isekai is giving him more to work with.
Figure if someone has that power but can only make 1 thing but he can make a house? Fun, building show type show. I'll even buy he surprised the bad guy by sliding under his feet.
I overthink these things but with the earth magic and his ability to make stuff, you could have a moat/pool/tubs/plumbing just with the butlers ability and his creation stuff.
"Hey look, I made a house. Took me what? Ten seconds."
I regret nothing.
I am hoping he's always going to be second rate in an actual fight compared to Kasim and Dee
but yeah he aint normal, maybe the swordsmen of this world is well not normal and like that guy said he can put in enough power to cut stone but cant cut his wood
so maybe the magic users are well magical, but the swordsmen are also magical / superhuman, while the MC is just strong but unlike that commander that was seemingly cleaving multiple people at once with his huge ass sword he is competent for a knight but crazy good for a kid.
Then you have the seasoned adventurers just chilling behind the wall after the first wave of long range attack doing literally nothing but their best impression of sitting ducks. There were no follow up attacks, no one is monitoring the battlefield checking for approaching enemies, and not a single soul thought to guard the opening?!
Second, they are not chilling, they are hiding. You can't go shooting arrows when your allies are in the way. But I do agree the defense was lax, Butler should have done something about it.
Till with that axe at the end was great.
So from the sound of things production magic normally isn't that useful since most people with it don't have the mana capacity for it to do much, but of course our isekaied noble family MC also has either way too much mana or some other cheat that makes it workable. He's going to need a lot of wood for that nanofibre halfway step considering all the stuff I imagine he'll be producing, good thing they're in a forest.
It’s like abusing talking being a free action or spamming the run button on old GTA games
It kinda felt like the production pace was going too fast. One minute, he was making swords and axes, and the next, a mansion appeared.

[](#shock)
[I love the mage girl's character design](https://imgur.com/JcK3CmZ)
[Why are the walls so huge?](https://imgur.com/fwtsBqJ) And perfectly square? Lol
[...Why are the knights doing the moat?](https://imgur.com/2s3DvFz) Why can't the super earth bender just whip that out in two seconds as well?
[What arrrr thooooooooose?!](https://imgur.com/PlDOS2j)
Unless it can't because of the gods that live in rice
I'm glad some of them stay, because this mc is actually worth watching, and see how far he can push. That butler is definitely happy he followed Van. If they tell me he used to be S rank adventurer elemental mage, I believe it.
Considering his walls he should have just enclosed them and divide them as it seems there was no casters inside the bandits party?
Hell let me one up it… dude should have just made a massive wall surrounding them and then collapse it… and then rebuild it over again till he buries them alive
Going straight up to nanomaterials is nuts. I am here for it, tho.
Looking inside the village, why did the bandits even bother with all those arrows? There was no one there that could've stopped them from just climbing over the walls.
How can he just decide to lower the land's taxes by 2/3? Or were those taxes only being paid to him, not to his family / the crown / etc?
Production magic must be looked down upon because of how inefficient it is mana-wise, but he seems to have unlimited mana, enabling him to just make unlimited number of whatever he wants to flood the markets?
Why were they still camping outside after reaching the village? And why didn't he just Quick-Produce a hut with a bed and a bath for the night if he was tired of sleeping unbathed on the ground?
So, this was even more boring than the second ep of Noble Reincarnation, making it an even easier drop.
Everyone was so willing to sacrifice themselves lol, good thing they all united in the end since that was clearly the best plan. The blonde guy moved a lot more agile than I was expecting, I thought he was a brawler or heavy hitter, but he was jumping around with twin knives lol.
I do like that Van has gotten a party of adventurers interested in him, it's different from those that worked for him at his family's mansion.
Well, that's certainly a bit of a sticky situation.
"I'd never accept a quest that's risk my comrades dying." So you sit around all day shaking your legs? Even going to collect 20 bear asses risks dying.
So, that's the plan.
You'd think the enemy would have realised they're here by now...
Him?
Ok...
So, time to fight.
You'd think they'd notice that _before_ they started getting arrows in inconvenient places...
Uh oh.
And so he saved her.
And so they're going to stay.
Wow it really is a shithole.
So, what's he going to do?
Huh. What's that?
That seems pretty strong.
I guess he's just going to spawn in whatever he needs.
He knew she wanted a cute accessory.
Such a balanced calm character.
Eventually it will have a moat as well
This 2nd episode destroyed any expectation I had.
Let me summarize the problem with this anime (which also happens to be the same problem with 99.9% of all new Isekai/fantasy animes that have come out over the last decade at least): Whenever the main characters are presented with a problem, they solve it instantly and without difficulty using their overpowered abilities, regardless of how said problem is presented in the first place, so there's no real challenge, no conflict, nothing at all. Oh, and they do the same obnoxious thing with every recent Isekai/fantasy anime, where the MC is rejected, discarded, thrown out into the streets because the one ability they have is considered worthless crap by everyone, but it turns out to be the most stupidly overpowered ability one can conceive, with no limitations or penalties of any kind.
That's it. That's all you need to know.
At least the opening theme was nice.
