Otherworldly Bar: I Picked Up a Young Witch

Good grief, this first encounter with the Demon King is way too contrived! Your elf friend gets captured, the skeleton tells you the enemy can fly, and you, a newbie who's only been learning magic for a few days, dare to chase after them with an even newer girl. When you get to their doorstep, you discover the enemy is the boss, so you call for reinforcements (wasn't that a bit too late?

I really enjoyed the interactions between the protagonist and the patrons; it reminded me of a game I like. The original title of Cyberpunk Bartender Action was VA-11 Hall-A: Cyberpunk Bartender Action. The bartender Jill, whom the player plays, does similar things to real-life bartenders: mixing drinks and chatting with customers. Playing this game is like finding a quiet corner in a noisy world.

I was just watching it casually, but suddenly it started getting frustrating... I don't understand why they didn't tell the manager about the stolen liquor. Knowing the thief might be a legendary figure, they still decided to catch him themselves. Even if they found him, what good would it do? He'd probably just be completely robbed again.

Dear author, you haven't updated for three minutes! Even the donkeys in the production team wouldn't dare rest like that. Perhaps you could consider updating more frequently? 🤓

I'm not an expert in bartending, so I won't comment on that, but the more I read, the more arrogant the protagonist seemed. It's one thing for a slime to be unfamiliar with human society's rules when first encountering humans, and forcing her to use slime liquid as a substitute—consider it a lesson. But to do the same thing a second time is excessive.

This book is also known as: The Spirit of Spring Wine (Effective only for women).

The character descriptions are poor. The worst part, in my opinion, is when the protagonist needs the essence of a Pure Water Slime. To obtain it, he tricks the slime into drinking alcohol without telling it the price, even though he knows the slime doesn't have enough money, and then uses the essence as payment. This slime has never been to the human world before and is very easy to fool.

Is "falling in love with the hero" a verb or...?

Why do people always like weak, pathetic girls? Do they really need to be worshipped? Are they so vain and insecure? Wouldn't it be better to have a confident, courageous, and charming girl?

I'd say I don't recommend it! The book's opening concept is very interesting, making you want to keep reading. The character development is also good; each character is very distinct. However, it didn't take long before it became increasingly toxic, mainly because the characters' personalities became more and more distorted, and it was heading in the direction of shattering people's values.
