Synopsis

Otherworldly Tavern Management, No System

Ivan received a text message: “[Dungeon Business Opportunity] Run a tavern in another world, with no rent and a steady stream of customers.”

Freshly bankrupt, he had been drinking and casually tapped “Accept.”

The next second, he found himself inside the dungeon.

A run-down tavern and a cold-blooded employment contract: a 30-day trial period. If he failed to meet his targets, he would be sent back to the cycle of reincarnation and reborn as a random low-level monster.

Ivan: “The biggest lesson I’ve learned in this life is never to click random links after drinking.”

Luckily, he didn’t have to worry about finding customers.

The dungeon’s monsters were farmed by adventurers during the day, then revived together at night.

Sure, they could come back to life, but it still hurt. This shabby tavern became their only place to unwind.

Skeleton miners traded information about ore veins for drinks, while the Slime King paid with a part of its body. It was bouncy and worked great soaked in liquor.

To upgrade the tavern, Ivan searched the Dark Forest for an old wizard who could sell him recipes, helped a banshee tend her family tomb in exchange for a brewing method passed down through generations, and found a lost fire elemental cub for a flame demon. His reward was the exclusive recipe for “Lava Heart.”

The adventurers who came to the dungeon every day to grind monsters had no idea there was a tavern hidden right under their noses.

Until one day, several adventuring parties from the Holy Continent were given a mission to investigate the tavern.

When those heroes finally entered, they witnessed an unforgettable sight:

The dungeon’s demon king had folded away his wings and was patiently waiting in line behind a skeleton miner. He called out to the bar, “Old Ivan, the usual. I got ground to death three times today, so make it on the rocks.”

The monsters pounded the tables. “If you want to fight, take it outside. We’ve been dying all day. We just want to enjoy a quiet drink.”

Adapted from the "Dungeon Tavern" video series by the uploader Clay Factory, those interested can support them on Douyin or Bilibili.

Where's my stinky water? What are we going to drink without it? 😡

Although it started out like a stinky tavern, the author later developed a complete world-building, and the story's development is fairly reasonable. I just wonder if there will be a classic Western fantasy food list (at least for now, "Fox Girl" doesn't seem to be heading in that direction).

The subject matter is quite novel. If the author has ever seen works featuring clay dungeons, you can take a look at this one.

It's a pretty good work, currently up to chapter 68. This tavern management game seems very addictive. You can drink with dungeon monsters to earn gold coins, and then spend the gold coins to continue expanding the tavern and buying recipes, etc. It feels like it would be a lot of fun to make into a game. However, there are still some minor issues.

Overall, it's pretty good. The world-building feels quite complete. However, regarding Lil, it feels a little... Not bad, but she gives off a spoiled, pampered young lady vibe. She doesn't seem very helpful in the tavern, and sometimes she even bosses the male lead around... Which feels a bit natural (maybe not entirely accurate), but it's a little uncomfortable to read.

It's not bad, but there's too little traffic, which is fatal. If there's too little traffic, it's easy to get nurtured and then there's no traffic, and then it's dead. You should understand what I mean, right?

The author could easily translate it into Japanese and post it on a forum like Become a Novelist. This kind of theme is very popular in Japan right now, and the world-building is quite complete. A single chapter explains where you are and what you're supposed to do. If you're lucky, it might even be adapted into an anime!
