   I'm recommending an isekai (another world) food novel – *Saturday Restaurant in Another World*. As the author says, it's inspired by the anime *Restaurant to Another World*. ✨Synopsis: A salaryman takes over a small restaurant, only to discover it connects to another world. Every Saturday, the diners range from monster lords to elven priests. There's no fighting or killing; the food is simply irresistible, with delicious stir-fries and savory dishes that whet the appetites of all sorts, while also providing a glimpse into the woes of their own worlds. 👌🏻Features: The author's writing is solid, the food details are mouthwatering, and the characters are vividly portrayed. It's like sitting in a corner restaurant listening to the gossip at the next table – slow-paced but enjoyable. Suitable for foodies looking for a lighthearted, heartwarming read with a touch of fantasy; perfect as bedtime reading.

It does not arise because of one person's goodness, nor perish because of one person's evil. Good and evil are determined by people; rise and fall are determined by fate. The people of the world think they are fighting for money, power, or pride. Only in the end do they understand that they were fighting for nothing but illusion. The Dao knows no black or white.
