Resumen del Editor

[I accidentally got engaged to the evil owl-goddess who is obsessed with the number-three and now I have to make weapons for our new adventuring guild].

In an era in which ancient gods live in the world’s cities together with their mortal followers, forming tight-knit guilds and powerful temples, the disfigured ash-caster and blacksmith Hineni has lived his entire life as a reclusive outcast. Hidden away behind layers of clothing and just as many walls and doors, he only ever leaves the house in the dead of night, so that neither the gods or anyone else can ever see him.

However, on one of these night-tide outings, he finds that has gained the unwanted attention of what is seemingly a perfectly normal owl, and through his unwitting efforts at simply filling his nights with acts of personal meaning, he ends up promising himself to a creature that is perhaps even less versed in human ways than he himself is. He is a mysterious, odd owl-goddess that nobody seems to have ever heard of, Obscura.

Hineni, having had no greater purpose in life until now, finds himself willing to accept this turn of events and dedicates himself to creating a brand new adventuring guild, under the watchful eyes of the ancient entity Obscura, who has only one, clear, proclaimed goal—

To hunt the BIG FROG! BIG FROG! BIG!

Weaponsmith is a slice-of-life litRPG [soft romance] with base/guild-building.

interesting story

it's a very interesting litrpgs and was an interesting story once you get into it. It has some decent character building. I'll most likely buy the other books.

Interesting, not a lot going on.

This is a tough story to review. It doesn’t seem to fit very well in the Lit/rpg genre. It was recommended by Audible as such. It has a very ethereal feel to it. The mc, Hininee, could be a poster child for ptsd. He is introverted and withdrawn from the city he watches out the window of his house. He does just enough to survive. A chance encounter in the woods forces him reconnect with the world and start dealing with the trauma of his past. He meets a few other misfits and they all form an advocate family together. There are hints of a threat and the possibility of a war, but we never see them. This story is much more about the psychology of the characters than the events we see in the story.
The voice acting is good and helped keep me interested enough to finish the book.

Was really good

honestly can't wait for the next one I was a little weary of it at first but it got way better and obscura cracks me up.

slightly new twist on my favorite genre

I've always liked the lit RPG genres since it came out, there have been gods there have been cultivation stories etc but I like how this one incorporates how God's interact directly with the characters and how obscura is a mean character

Very Interesting and u usual!

Was expecting a war story buy was very surprised and happy with the story. Tired of same old stuff and I found this fefreshing. Good characters and although the detail on each weapon type is a bit over the top, it actually adds to the odd story in a way. Narration is outstanding. Will start the next one asap.

the entire cast is insufferable

I really had zero empathy for every character we see in this book. every single one was annoying or unpleasant or whiney. the voice acting was honestly fine except that all the birds lines sounded like questions.

Mostly romance

This story is roughly half romance and 2/5 slice of life with all the fantasy stuff being almost entirely limited to setting, slightly misleading but not terrible. I enjoyed listening to the recluse and the anthropophobic help each other deal with the outside world

The water made the frogs four

A story of a slowly developing mental health condition with occasional plot points to make them sound less insane, both more and less coherent than the other series by the author.

Narrator sounds like she's trying to read a children's book, no matter what is being said.

struggles of love

this is a book that simply does not hold my interest enough for me to make the effort to finish the last 6 hours or so. if you want to read a book where the only progress is personal to the main character while reading in 3rd person, go ahead. then the narrative this narrator being female while the main protagonist is male simply doesn't fit. by all means, if the majority of the dialog was female have a female narrator. the male voices lacked.

overall desire for a bigger cast and 3rd limited is just sad. female voice to mostly male character dialog be lacking

slice of odd life, man and bird relationship

it is a story.
it's okay, nothing spectacular but good. I normally try to judge astory by how much I do not want to put it down. I never got that feeling from this story. I can walk away from it anytime. I didn't really have a compulsion to pick it back up and continue. that being said it's okay I didn't want to return it immediately either
