Publisher's summary

He was given another chance at life and from the infinite possibilities available, he chose to come back as a mechanical man, a Metalman, named Repair. Now he has to contend with a research lab full of gnomes who say he owes them for bringing him back from death, a strange city that is going through a magical industrial revolution, and adversaries that want to see him broken into pieces.

Full of action, adventure, and of course crafting, join Repair on his adventure through this strange fantasy world where magic and technology meet. He’ll dive into the city’s dungeon to kill monsters for XP, and gather resources to figure out the solutions to his problems. Because if he doesn’t become more powerful, he’ll not only lose his freedom, but the life of his friend.

The Mechanical Crafter is a LitRPG adventure.

It's a great adventure!

I was impressed with the story. I wish it had more content but hopefully more will come soon. I enjoyed the characters. The social inequalities give something to strive for. I hope to see much more from this series!!

Different type of MC

It’s nice to listen to a book where the MC isn’t an overpowered spell sword killing machine. Not that I don’t love those as well. Great feeling of tension in that the MC could lose at any time. Narration was pretty good, she could work on her pauses to give a better feel and flow but it doesn’t take away from the story.

Warforged Artificer

Definitely a fun listen. The Metalman race definitely have me a Warforged vibe, and made the character's experiences unique.

this was one of those books where you can zone out while listening to it, I enjoyed it, but I can understand how some people might find this book uninteresting.

Please buy this book

I really enjoyed this novel. I have been following Mejia for a while and I consider this to be his breakthrough novel. I am happy to see him come into his own. His earlier work was lacking when it came to the world building and character motivations. Here the world is fully formed and all the characters, not just the MC, had distinct personalities and quirks.
My wife and I thoroughly enjoyed this novel. It kept us company through a recent road trip.
Kudos to you Mejia and welcome to my must buy list.

Loved it!!!

Great story and narration!

Repair (an engineer from earth reincarnated into a Metal Man's body in a fantasy world) is figuring out his new life. He is owned by some gnomes at a gnomish collage and working for his freedom and citizenship. On top of all that he has to figure out his new body, class, and what he wants to do with his life without guidance as he is now a member of a lost race! Simple right?

Jill does a fantastic job with the narration - really bringing the story to life!

I loved this book, and can't wait for the next one to come out!

A Fresh LitRPG

This is an enjoyable listen with a fresh take on the genre. While the common tropes are there it is different enough not to blend into the background of a genre full of new authors. The story is well read and acted.
