Publisher's Summary

Eizo is a middle-aged, overworked software engineer who loves cats.

One night after working late, he saves an injured cat from a speeding truck. The cat survives, but Eizo does not...

Luckily, that cat turns out to be a god-like being who offers him a second chance in another world! Eizo decides that he wants a slower life, one where he can live off the things he creates with his own hands. So, why not become a blacksmith? He does have one other stipulation: a cat companion for his quiet life.

These requests are granted, and Eizo is whisked away to a new world and imbued with blacksmithing knowledge. He soon finds out that his abilities are above average—in fact, his new skills are so overpowered that they're like cheats. On top of that, his cat companion turns out to be a half-tiger girl!

Eizo's blades soon garner attention, and he realizes that he can turn the tides of battle with his forge and hammer. With so much commotion in store, will Eizo truly be able to enjoy a quiet life?

Blacksmithing slice of life

You get whats on the tin with this book. if youre looking for a slice of life with the occasional sprinkle of merchant interactions (later in the series evolves to very light politics) you might like this.
Honestly to sum up what happens in these books is that you just get to hear a guy talk about the trials and error process of blacksmithing in another world with cheat skills as well as the effect his op weapons have on the society around him.

would definitely recommend the series if you like the "strong mc decides to turn down fame and forture" trope
