   Reader note

   I highly, highly recommend this shop owner novel!! The female lead doesn't wander off; she mostly stays in the shop. She has an adorable and reliable top-selling cat who doesn't interfere with the development of the small worlds. I think the biggest charm of this novel is that everyone in each small world is incredibly kind! There are very few awful characters; when they do appear, they immediately disappear. It's a story about a female lead saving small worlds, and the protagonists of those small worlds also striving to save themselves. It has a strong sense of redemption and is more recommended for female readers (because most of the protagonists in the small worlds are female, so male readers might not feel the same way, but it's a very good novel; those interested should check it out). The plot and writing are very heartwarming; highly recommended! PS: The author's imagination is truly amazing, especially the plants in the game world and the places the female lead visits later on. I almost wanted to travel into the book and experience them myself! The imagination is so fun to read!

    I highly recommend the first one. The protagonist is an ancient monster who has lived for thousands of years, without a system, relying solely on his strength. He runs a shop and is incredibly idle, but his power is immense. It's already completed, and he doesn't meddle in other people's business at all. Plus, I feel there are no flaws. The second one is also completed; it's about opening a shop in another world. This book has been on my bookshelf for a long time, and I've forgotten most of the plot (~_~;) but I enjoyed it.
