The Tale of the Eastern Drought Demon

Cover ID: **

A commonplace entry in the fantasy-land genre. No female lead, no harem, no overpowered hero. A slice-of-life story with a warm, cozy feel.

It's packed with references, so readers may spot plenty of familiar names, as well as some obscure ones.

For example:

Great Sage Equal to Heaven: Ah♂? Fantasy♂land♂?

The original characters get far more screen time than the protagonist.

A descendant of a god rejected by humanity accidentally enters a paradise beyond the mortal world called Gensokyo.

Settling in a corner of the Beast Trail, they experience the many sides of this paradise.
