Description
Kako Mayama is a girl who likes playing fantasy games, especially alchemy-themed games because she likes to craft items in games. One day, she died after saving an animal that was actually the pet of a goddess from another world. The goddess gave Kako a chance to be reincarnated in another world in return for saving her pet. She would also give her the ability of her choice from a list if she accepted her offer. Without hesitation, Kako accepted the offer and chose Alchemy ability from the listー No. To be exact, she wanted the Alchemy ability from the list, but because of some kind of careless mistake, she got Synthesis ability instead. Kako was disappointed at first but then she realized the greatness of her ability. Synthesis ability is kind of similar to Alchemy ability, but they have differences. To make an item using Alchemy, you need to collect the required materials first, but to use Synthesis ability you only need multiple items to be combined together into a higher grade item. When Kako realized the usefulness of her ability, she started to combine cheap items to create high-quality items and achieve a successful life. After a while, she became completely addicted to her game-like ability. She kept creating extraordinary items one after another and making a sensation around the world.

My Thoughts on Alchemy? Nope, It’s Called Item Synthesis!
This web novel, "Alchemy? Nope, It’s Called Item Synthesis!" definitely caught my eye with its quirky title, and after diving in, I can see why it's garnered a dedicated following. It's a lighthearted adventure that focuses on crafting and discovery, with a protagonist who, while perhaps not the sharpest tool in the shed, is certainly endearing.
First Impressions
The premise is simple enough: our main character gets involved in item synthesis, and the story follows her journey as she experiments, creates, and inevitably gets into a bit of trouble. The early chapters were easy to get into, and the world-building is intriguing enough to keep me curious about what's around the corner.
What Works Well
The charm of this story lies in its lightheartedness and the protagonist's infectious enthusiasm. There's a real sense of fun as she combines different items, leading to some genuinely comical and unexpected results. I particularly enjoyed the slice-of-life elements woven throughout the narrative. It's a delightful escape, perfect for when you need something low-stakes and uplifting. The crafting aspect is also well-executed; it's detailed enough to be interesting without getting bogged down in technical jargon. If you enjoy seeing a character experiment and develop new skills, this is definitely up your alley. The story also seems to do a good job of doling out conflicts in small bursts, keeping the overall tone positive and engaging.
Areas of Concern
While the MC's naivete is part of her charm, it can sometimes be a little frustrating. I do wish she'd occasionally consider the consequences of her actions before diving headfirst into every new experiment. Hopefully, she'll learn and grow as the story progresses. I think that if the MC begins to learn from her mistakes, it will make her a more compelling character.
Final Verdict
"Alchemy? Nope, It’s Called Item Synthesis!" is a fun, lighthearted read that's perfect for anyone looking for a dose of adventure and crafting. While the protagonist's impulsiveness can be a bit much at times, her enthusiasm and the overall positive tone of the story make it an enjoyable experience. If you're looking for a serious, gritty fantasy, this isn't it. But if you want something cute, funny, and easy to read, I'd definitely recommend giving it a try.
