Synopsis

After dying of overwork in Japan, Dahlia is reborn into a world filled with magic. Raised by a master of magical toolmaking, she develops a passion for the craft and becomes engaged to her father's apprentice. Before her father can see her wed, however, he suddenly passes away. As if this weren't enough, on the day before their wedding, her fiancé announces that he's in love—but not with her! Dahlia finally realizes she needs to live for herself. She vows to be her own woman from now on and devote herself to her craft, even if it's not quite the quiet life she was hoping for! From a chance encounter with a knight to starting her own company, there are challenges aplenty on the horizon. But this young craftswoman is no longer a shrinking violet—she's Dahlia, and she's ready to bloom.

Preliminary (3/? eps)
I am basing this review off of the J-Novel translations for "Madougushi Dahlia wa Utsumukanai: Kyou kara Jiyuu na Shokunin Life."

Overall, the story is increasingly repetitive and attempts to explain various plot elements using various narratives. Such was the ultimate reason I dropped it a few pages into the third volume.

Elective plot elements that are only loosely related to the primary plot comprise a majority of each novel. Further, these elective plot elements lack variety and often focus on superficial details that have no direct importance to the main plot. The reader is therefore encouraged to skip paragraphs.
