Older Unfinished Books, New Books, Fresh Themes, and New Takes
After all these years of reading, there are only a handful of novels I’ve managed to finish. I leave so many on the back burner for too long that I forget the plot and can’t be bothered to continue. So I start a new novel instead, then put it on hold after finishing it until I’ve forgotten the whole story… and the cycle begins again. So for most of these years, I’ve spent my time reading new books. This list only features new books I’m currently reading. Since I mostly read in short bursts and c
[Fists, the Other Shore, and Alternate Worlds] Books I Like and My Reviews
Most of these are books I'm currently following or have finished. They're all pretty good, with some having especially brilliant concepts and others showing exceptional writing. (I'll share more of my thoughts on authors I'm familiar with. For those I don't know well, I'll just say whether they're good. That's enough.) (I won't remove some books that fall apart later, but I'll add follow-up reviews.)

Well, this book is actually alright, but sometimes the protagonist's reactions are a bit too exaggerated, such as when he meets two female idols (which is also a point I'm curious about, since the protagonist lived in a completely different era from them in his previous life, how could he admire them so much).
Looking at the recent episodes, I'd say the strengths and weaknesses are both very obvious. The writing is solid, but the plot is a bit clichéd. Actually, what I liked most was the part where I cooked myself. But then, repeatedly teaching the expert how to cook and then serving it to customers felt a bit toxic.
Review of this novel
Here are some food pictures that the author didn't have time to include in the previous article. Such images can be seen in the comments section of the main text, and the author has also included direct illustrations in the main text, which readers can see directly. The author likely drew inspiration from the themes of Midnight Diner and The Solitary Gourmet when designing the izakaya.
It's a very comfortable read about everyday life. The author focuses on diners and regulars, weaving a microcosm of the Showa era from their conversations. Thank you for the treat. It seems like there are a lot of female leads, and I'm a little worried about how to handle it.
Akina Nakamori's love life is so tragic, please help her!
He is 100% the reincarnation of some old eunuch.
Beautiful 🥰🥰
The teacher's book is written in a gentle and conversational style, without resorting to internet slang or awkward laughter, but with a humorous feel reminiscent of real-life conversation. The overall pacing is very comfortable, it's the kind of book that's slow and easy to read, and there are also some satisfying moments of "showing off your skills in front of others".
I've read the first dozen or so chapters, and they're alright; there aren't any major flaws.
It's well-written, and the female characters are portrayed quite delicately and distinctively. The main appeal of this type of novel lies in its depiction of the women. However, the character development is somewhat weak. The protagonist seems to be just a tool of the author. His motives for doing things are unclear. For example, he already has a system, and he's so busy. Why does he still have to go to school every day? Is he going to go to university?
Is Akina the female lead? If not, she'll have less screen time. 🙂
Hurry up, I never read food novels, but I surprisingly found this one readable. However, it has nothing to do with food. This book is not aggressive, and there are no cheesy pretentious face-slapping scenes. It's a quiet daily life story throughout, which is very comfortable to read.
