Good Book. It features an op mc BUT he doesn’t know he is OP. This book seems to incorporate themes of fantasy(his bookstore is connected to other worlds), mystery(he doesn’t know yet that he is OP, we, the readers will read along to find out why he’s OP) and myth (gods and demons exist within his world). The author also seems to be rather respectful to foreigners, at worst, he has a neutral opinion. Only con is idk what the plot is. It seems like we are just following the mc’s ‘discovery’ (like i said he doesn’t know he is OP neither does he know about other worlds and gods, he’s basically in the dark but somehow connecting the worlds together.) of fantasy and sci-fi elements.
I went into this not expecting much and walked away incredibly surprised. In just 60 chapters, I've been hooked on this story more than any other novel in recent times. The main character doesn't seem like a main character at all. Ordinary man doing an ordinary job. But everyone else sees something completely different from him and that is what turns him into the main character. He's a very relatable character too I think because he sees himself as ordinary. There are a few side characters that are main characters in their own stories as well and I love the dual perspective we see when they interact with the main character. We see the perspective of the ordinary man, who sees a repressed young girl who wants to break out of her shell and cosplay, and then we see the perspective of the young woman from a post-apocalyptic Earth who sees the 'Secrets of Cosplay' as a holy bible to demon hunting to save humanity. I love the way it was done. Overall this novel easily earns a 5/5 from me and I hope that it's picked up and that others enjoy it as much as I did.
Amazing novel, features an MC who is a godlike OP but completely oblivious to it. He runs a bookstore that is connected to a number of different worlds, mainly post-apocalyptic so far, and people that enter his store perceive him as a horrifyingly powerful being. He walks into the abyss between world (his backroom) and sells them a book full of powerful and esoteric knowledge (what he perceives as guides to help them cosplay better or supernatural nonsense). The dichotomy between the MCs POV of the interactions and the customers' is hilarious. Truly a unique read that I can't recommend highly enough. Hopefully gets picked up for regular translation.
An interesting premise and decent idea. HOWEVER : 1)The novel is very blatant in its "propaganda" for a certain country with the standard "this country is the only one with actual intelligence and civility, The rest are barbarians that want to join us." 2) This is a harem, The difference from the standard harem being that there is no romance. In other words the worst parts of harem only. MC is the only male even mentioned for the majority of the story. 3) Issues constantly regarding any mention of price as the translator couldn't copy-paste the symbol properly. 4) Very point to point. Curious if a certain character will be ongoing/reoccuring? Is she an attractive woman? If so then yes. Is the woman, who just turned up immediately after an info dump regarding a "mysterious" topic, related to said topic? Yes directly. Overall : I despise harem but this novel could still be barrable if it weren't for the constant "meta commentary" and "Pro-(a certain country)" propaganda, It isn't even well masked. This novel is around 70% pro-certain country propaganda and using false history to make it sound glorious, 10% describing women, 10% info dumping, 5% MC prattling about playing LoL and 5% of actual interesting story. Would not recommend unless you are utterly desperate.
Why the hell was this novel removed from the voting list, it has just been 20 days , and it had more supports than that piece of trash chinese racism filled i am gamer bullshit novel. While that book had been present there for far longer. And yet you remove this novel from the list, and choose that one. another example of how bullshit and discriminatory this app is. Fuck you webnovel, i am gonna pirate all novels from now on, screw you.
I actually would recommend this novel. I have only read a couple chapters but it has potential. I have to rate it one start on principle though, because YOU FORGOT THE FIRST TWO CHAPTERS OF THE NOVEL?! I dunno how you mess that up, but since they're missing, we don't have any idea how the story starts! I looked at the raws, and read some poor MTL of the first two chapters! I know they're missing! There's not even any reason to have them missing, they're normal chapters! I'd appreciate it if you would just fix this.
he kids do you love chinese nationalism, do you crave the mighty cok of ccp, do you want to kill your own countrymen and it's culture to join the glorious chinese empire, do you want to see the an anceint omnipotent god lick chinese governments ahole, this is the book for you this book is set in a fictional world with magic, gods and Japanese people who want to work in chinese labour camps "willingly" and chinese defeated the British (lol) in 8th opium war, this novel is a self insert wetdream of a delusional han chinese nationalist high on ketamine and propoganda

WebNovel you have been a major disappointment so far. It seems money can make you even sell your mothers. I once read an article somewhere complaining about your mode of conduct. It stated that you don't give shit about anybody, including yourselves, apart from money. Now I can see their point crystal clear.
A brief story summary: Ling PingAn is a well read NEET in charge of his own bookstore with no money problems at all becouse of fantasy gov. subsides, at day he has no clients at all, but at night when a strange fog sets in, strange cosplayers and weirdos (with no money) come in and buy books from him in exchange of rare objects or even food, although he's a bit vexed that he's not making any money, he doesn't really need it anyway and the weird objects are usually high quality goods that he has never seen, so he takes in stride. This is how he sees things. And now this is how his clients see things. In their respective post-apocalyptic words, there's no hope for man to survive, every day is a miserable battle against hopelessness becouse Diablos (I imagine they meant "Devils") have taken over the world and humans have become an endangered species, less than cattle. When roaming that desolate landscape they encountered a mysterious fog that nulified their supernatural powers, in fear they approached the to source of light and encountered a dinky bookstore. Inside, they were faced with all kinds of horrors and an out of place "man" behind the counter, an otherwise normal body with deep fog surrounding his head and bright light where his eyes should be (think Kurogiri from MHA), this man offered them forbidden knowledge in exchange for the corresponding price, what they understood for a corresponding price was of course their lifespam, their soul or their sanity. In a desperate gambit they offer all the values that they had on them at the time and, unexpectedly, he accepted the trade. With this new knowledge in hand they seek to change the fate of mankind in their respective worlds and if posible, seek help again from this terrifying new "Ally". TLDR: Lovecraftian horror gives away forbidden knowledge at a bargain As for my review, its well made but it sometimes stretches too long, but its not really a problem to me. Its also a bit nationalistic? But not really racist, it is however a very idealized fantasy Chinese empire where a returner came back and made all the right choices to make it the greatest nation ever made, but its not the tipical malicious jingoism where they shit on every country, its a goverment that's basically perfect with little to no corruption that solves everything they set out to do and its very honorable and everyone likes them and wants to be like them, basically China is a huge Mary Sue, but at the same time, its a somewhat pure and innocent kind of Mary Sue, something like the 60's Adam West Batman, but not as charming. Anyway, 5 stars, hope this gets picked.
It was ok for me even if the story has nationalism but an mc that was just a puppet of a country was not my thing. A God creator of all was just a puppet of his mortal aunt. Mc is just going to be a sponsor for the country to be stronger he was living in without knowing it and even if he knows that, he will gladly appreciate it that they take advantage of him because of the plot that he was a good civil person. All I want is an mc that make his own rule not follow other rule. That is why I read Chinese novel for breaking the rules of the top but now all I see was just follow them and be good to them WTH. Brilliant Idea But Disaster Strike Again
