The Divine Farmer’s Materia Medica
I’ve made a separate list for completed books. I’ve read or am currently reading all the books here. Most are solid reads, and some have flaws, but none have major deal-breakers. If you’re out of books, give them a try.
Future Jun’s Handpicked Reads
I've read novels for years and have seen all kinds of genres. I've been making recommendation lists for nine years, too. Most of the books on my lists are ones I've read myself. I've gotten to know each one and appreciate what makes it special and different from the rest. Everyone has their own favorite genres. If the books I recommend happen to suit your tastes, that's wonderful. The books I recommend are all excellent and a pleasure to read. Everyone's welcome to join me. Most of my recommenda
Late-Night Reading Warning! Novels You Won't Be Able to Put Down
Warning! The books on this list are highly addictive and may cause symptoms such as staying up all night and forgetting to eat. Make sure you have nothing planned for tomorrow before reading! I've removed a few abandoned novels. Aside from legendary works, this list doesn't keep novels that have been abandoned or left on hiatus.
New Buds, Tiny Buds, and Teeny-Tiny Buds
This list is mainly for promising new stories under 100,000 words. I hope they grow into towering trees soon! I've tried writing novels myself, so I know how much a recommendation on a reading list can help during the early stages of a new book. Back then, I used to leave comments on reading lists hoping to get a recommendation, but almost never heard back. So after I stopped writing, I started putting this list together. I hope I can do my small part to help. May you ride the wind and become a

Aren't they supposed to be buddies and profiteers? How come the protagonist is becoming more and more conscientious?
Shennong Post
It's well-written; I'd rate it as a high-quality piece. The adventure is light and carefree, with no danger chasing the protagonist, who is simply a conscientious but unscrupulous merchant in another world. Compared to the traditional leveling-up and combat system, the book focuses on the protagonist's business dealings, standing out in the Western fantasy genre with a more novel perspective.
The protagonist is a shrewd businessman, but please don't lose your conscience! 😭
The book is good, but the pacing is too slow. It's already at chapter 200, and the protagonist hasn't even become a professional yet. There are side quests here and there, how is the main storyline progressing? Are they going to write over a thousand chapters, or will it just fizzle out later?
It's alright.
Having read over fifty chapters, the entire beginning feels like a light and carefree Western fantasy story. There's no deep-seated suffering or excessive scheming. Many reviews criticize this style as not mature enough, not dark enough, and not exciting enough. Personally, I quite enjoy reading isekai (another world) novels without having to think too much.
What does the book title actually mean?
When I first saw "I Wasn't Eaten by Customers Today," I thought the customers were all sorts of ghosts or monsters. Having read over a hundred chapters, this is basically the classic isekai adventure + shop-running story, and it has nothing to do with whether or not you get eaten by customers.
It's pretty good. The protagonist is a businessman with somewhat low morals, but he only cheats people when it comes to gold coins. He also has two supporting characters with higher morals by his side, so there's a feeling that their good deeds cancel each other out. It's quite interesting to watch them influence each other. I'm looking forward to the sequel.
These two chapters today seem a bit overdone.
So, in a world with magic, after being attacked by a hailstorm, would someone shout, "This is divine punishment!" They should have shouted "A mage is attacking!" Furthermore, it seems a bit unreasonable that neither of these two powerful families has many mages present. Even if the mages aren't high-level, surely they could muster one or two to launch a counterattack.
A novel that is difficult to evaluate
I read the chapters before the book was published and the first 20 chapters after. The following comments only cover the chapters I read. Let's start with the good points. Overall, the novel is pretty good. The writing is decent, and the logic is okay. Unlike many novels that leave you confused after a few chapters, this one is worth checking out if you have some free time.
He's portrayed as a shrewd businessman, but his moral standards are so high. It feels like the protagonist is lawful good; it would be better if he were lawful evil.
