No spy? In a city? That just goes to show that your counter-intelligence ops suck balls. Spies are like Rule 34. If there's none yet, there will be one soon.
@aFFi
Novel reader here, to keep it as unspoilerly as possible it's a big mix of stuff really. Some people will get seen often and plenty of screen time for them and some others rarely get shown (though there's only a few like that I think). Likewise for what's going on in the plot you could end up with multiple chapters of slice of life simple inventing stuff, or something much more.
If you like varied happenings, you'll prob like where the story will go.
@azerez : Heroine is introduced later, the WN has over 2000 chapters, and this is like 50 or so in @Aichan :
Jin makes his own spy force of automata with some disguise abilities later on
@kuzunagi13 : his golems are metal, so it is probably the artist making them look metallic, he is capable of making fully human looking Automata... Just rarely does so. @Kikaibaka :
Plus he does meet up with her again later on in the WN, heck she is on the cover for Volume 5
