Enjoy! I wanted to do a bit more for this bulk upload but I nearly died, so I'm working on not dying instead. Sorry about that.

Enjoy the chapters.

I feel like his main priority should be bulk crafting items at this point, and making a small stockpile of magic items to devour. It's kind of frustrating that he makes one or two items, then sells them for just enough to scrape by, while also only hurriedly trying to craft a magic item while he's at the point of starving. According to the Mason, he has 3 days to make the 50 gold to pay for the next 25% of the building, and instead of cranking out a few items to sell he spends the first day scraping metal to build a magic bow for himself. He could have used that day to crank out a few items, sold them, and then reinvested that money into more metal to craft more retail goods with. It seems silly that he doesn't focus on smithing for a week, build up a small stockpile of armor/weapons, and go sell that for a payday. Instead he's assuming the adventurer will bring him money. Not having the money to have the mason start work on the next 25% might be enough to have the guy walk away from the job. Then where would he be, since the other masons refuse to work in the area? Love the story, but the MC has gotten the Ifrit name out there a little bit, but he needs to make a bigger smithing push at non-magical items. It's frustrating that his profession is a goldmine, but that he doesn't use it to make enough money to not be broke. He spent a day or more fixing the floor on his old smithy. That didn't grant him any experience or money. During that same day he could have instead been making armor, sold it, and used the money to pay professionals to come and working on restoring the inn/smithy. I definitely understand and agree with the idea of not selling or even letting people know he can make magic items, but not pursuing financial success with common grade arms/armor is silly. Similarly, the innkeeper's priorities are also completely borked. She has been far too passive in her innkeeping goal. Starting with the lack of eating utensils way back when. A society with a medieval level of technology would have a market where you could buy cutlery, and it would have dirt cheap options. Instead of passively waiting for the smith to make her something, she should have been able to send the thief to town to buy the items for her. She should have also been able to buy basic food staples to stock her larder. Instead she wastes precious time by spending full days in a dungeon trying to stumble upon stuff to cook, when basic stuff in large quantities are available on the market. Instead of gambling on weird monster meats, she should be prioritize having essential supplies always on hand. Also, the lack of repairs to the other rooms and lack of beds is rather silly. And the thief having been given lots of gold worth of items, but not turning around and investing in the inn/smithy is rather selfish. Also, when they moved into the inn, I forget what the transaction was, but it basically boiled down to giving something to the innkeeper and getting credit for future stays. That seems like something that actively screws the innkeeper over. She should have insisted on paying them a gold a day in cash, which was then paid back to her for the meals/rooms each day. That way she'd be recognized as being paid fair prices by the system. Once again, love the story, but it makes absolutely no sense why the smith is keeping himself completely poor. A couple days work at this point could net him 1000+g , but instead he's sitting at 9s.

I think you might have missed a few things while reading. Reya has likely spent nearly all of her gold on buying things for Arwin. She said she had around 100 and bought 3 brightsteel ingots, each are around 30 gold. Lillia has been spending time repairing the 2nd floor of the inn to make room for more people to stay. Arwin was paying her in items she needed for the inn, while the others are paying her normally. There was no credit stuff. Everyone is straight up paying her, either in goods that are equivalent value to gold and are needed or just in normal gold. Arwin can’t just sit down and craft money stuff for a few days right now. He needs to optimize his time because there is very likely a wyrm horde approaching and he needs to get himself and his allies strong as fast as possible. He doesn’t have a few days to waste making armor when he can just make it when he needs it and sell it then. He’s optimizing his time to be the most efficient it can be, and he’s got money coming his way soon in the form of Olive. If she doesn’t carry through, he can just make one or two items and sell those, so he’s not at a risk. He just can’t afford to spend a ton of time sitting around and crafting when the horde could show up and destroy the entire city

Can you provide epub files? PDFs are terrible for reading, especially in the darkness
