I can't possibly recommend this manga, because it is an unfinished product.
From its early stages I've read this story, loved it, maybe even cherished it to some degree, but honestly speaking after the latest chapters and maybe the years that have passed since I've started this manga those emotions vanished into thin air.
Until recently I've had this manga scored at a 9 out of 10, but after chapter 60 or something close to that, the story went crazy, it kept bringing new people in forgetting the existing ones, some interesting characters were killed just so it can bring out some emotions. The pace was far to fast and because of that I felt like I was reading something just so time could pass, not something that I enjoyed a lot in the beginning.
A few examples of some characters and the plot line that they were connected to were simply erased from the existence.
The first one was the rival of the MC (Rygart) named Zess, after his defeat in the first few chapters he retreated to his country to recuperate from his injuries thinking that maybe life in the military isn't for him, but because it couldn't end that way he was elected as a high commander of his country's military. After a new skirmish with the Rygart and a new defeat he swears that he will be back and that next time will kill him for sure, but guess what, he didn't even make another appearance in the manga after that. Quick trivia about him, he was called a genius, but every time he was trashed by the MC.
The second one is Hodr, the king of the empire that Rygart is part of, on paper he is regarded as an excellent leader that put his country back on the map or so to say, a great tactician and so on and so forth, but what did he achieve all this time? Nothing, absolutely nothing, he is the running joke of this story, at least in my opinion, his wife doesn't love him, doesn't even share the same bedroom with him, he has fantasies that she will revoke her divorce with him and will be with him in the end, but guess what? No, that doesn't happen and in his frustration he gets together with his cook, or at least that's what she seems to be.
The third one is the Sigyn, the kings wife, at first she was important because she is the brain of the whole robo tech in the country, but after a few chapters you can see that she is eye candy and a damsel in distress and nothing more, she is an indecisive women who for the love of God even now I can't understand why she married the king and why is she in the story at all.
So, let's connect the dots now, Rygart, Zess, Hodr and Sigyn are friends and classmates of the military school situated in Asslum ( if I remember correctly ), the 3 boys are best friends that in normal situation would've never had any connection to each other, but under some circumstance's they've bonded, as for Sigyn it was never explained as to why was she with them, maybe I forgot.
Rygart is an un-sorcerer, or someone who can't use the power of quartz to move things around and control the the golems ( meaning the mecha of this world ), I should've said this earlier, but it's never to late, he loves Sigyn and she loves him back, but because of his condition he can't be with her, here you can facepalm if you want, so he decides that is better if she goes and be with his friend Hodr, because he can take better care of her, you can facepalm again, I know I did when I've read such a stupid reason.
Rygart can control a single golem and it's one used by the first people, it was said the they lived at least a thousand years ago and that's about all the information about them, some tiny details I will leave them to the ones who want to read this, this golem has a high learning curve and since our MC is a peasant that didn't learn how to use such things stumbles quite a few times before he finally learn to control it entirely. Probably if you've read up until now you are wondering how did he defeat his genius friend, don't worry I am asking the same question myself.
I will stop here with the characters and the plot holes, I could go on for a few more pages.
The last remaining thing to say on my list is related to the art of this manga and I will be blunt, more than a few times it was bad and unfocused, just like it was made by someone who is doing this as a hobby not by a pro, but since I am not judging manga and anime by art, but by story, most of the time, this part won't value to much in the final score.
Finishing this the score will be split in two, first part of this till chapter 58, because from here the story goes to into high gear and from there to a train wreak, will be a 9, but from chapter 59 till the end with a heavy heart it will get a 1, so it shows how bad it is from there.
Thanx for reading until this point, as I've said earlier I can't recommend this, but for the first part and some battles in the 2nd part you can try it.
