Why do manga come in pairs or more? I mean i thought this was the other golem manga at first. It seems like whenever a new concept like a golem master or a retired adventurer becoming a a village guard or whatever gets uploaded/translated/made another almost identical story shows up, sometimes on the same day.

Why is this a thing? Am i missing something important?

Rubbing that itty bitty golem face clitty?!

@Fuko no the skeleton there was someone used for the summoning. Probably an elf as their blood has lots of power and they make good catalysts. its pretty shitty

I'd rather have the Golem keep looking like that rather than turning into a girl, it's cuter like this.

Now im a little sad it's going to be turned into a cute girl. The giant buff doll that acts like a puppy is cute.

@u2l2rq "i think the soul of skeleton girl possessed the golem the mc made, that's why its so intelligent and some kind of emotion."

In [certain settings of] Dungeons & Dragons, golems are created by binding a spirit into the golem shell. If done "properly", the spirit loses all free will, but still retains enough intelligence to interpret complex orders ["as if by magic"]. It was the rationalization for why golems didn't function more like programmed robots, but it also ended up being a pretty dark secret to the magic. While typical golems were created with nature spirits of limited intelligence and personality, it was also possible to bind more complex souls through necromancy. I recall that at least two different Forgotten Realms novels touched upon the shittiness of trapping a soul in that situation.

Anyway, point being, this wouldn't remotely be the first setting to utilize spirit binding as a form of golem animation. As such, it's perfectly reasonable to assume that, rather than just being a coincidental influx of magical happenstance derived from his desire for a companion, the situation is one where the spirit was intentionally bound [by the magic circle beneath the skeleton] with the intent of it serving as golem food. The only unexpected part, then, would be that the protagonist broke precedence by invoking a circumstance upon the golem that provided it with some degree of free will.

Between it being a long-established trope and along with the personality clues the golem has shown so far, there's just no reason not to think of the golem as being possessed by a "living" spirit.
