    I'm currently reading The Rise of Otaku, a slice of life system novel where the MC suddenly sees the hidden world of ACG (Anime, Comics and Games) through his glasses. Anyway, in that story there's a god-level carpenter beaver and it got me thinking about novels with non-combat professions.

    While the main characters in Legendary Moonlight Sculptor and Overgeared are considered non-combat classes/jobs, they're fighting power is through the roof. One could only be content with the snippets of sculpting and blacksmithing that happen. And I dunno, I just want to read about a unique non-combat class doing what a normal non-combat class should.

    Tbh, I don't know what I want to say... Ig it's time to binge slice of life novels...

    Also, not really asking for recommendations. I'm only doing a mini-rant. (But if you have one, feel free)

    There's a decent amount of crafters in (VR)MMO Game novels, but most of them have significant parts of combat by the MC as well for various reasons.

    One simple reason is funding. How the hell would the crafters get the funds and resources to become better crafters if they're unknown solo players without fighting?

    And even if they do somehow manage for themselves, they usually only craft their own equipment or for a select few, thus somewhat known by some, but nowhere near 'legendary'

    It depends on how it is handled. You can have a non-combat support class while those around them are OP combat due to the MC. Kind of like maestar where he builds OP androids.


    There is also odd ones like I Reincarnated Into a Vending Machine

    These guys aren't carpenters, but they may fit with what you're looking for:
    Appraiser’s Job
    Ossan VRMMO (+/- similar to OSO)
    Ascendance of a Bookworm
    Magical Device Craftsman Dahlia Won’t Hang Her Head Down Anymore
    Magi Craft Meister
    The Saint’s Magic Power is Omnipotent (LN)
    I Shall Survive Using Potions!
    Death March

    That would be Frontiers ~Chronicles of Bucket-san’s Detailed Pioneering~

    If I recall, the manga was pretty sweat, and there are also the novels and manga with a Non-combatant Female Protagonist.
