Synopsis

As the owner of an ordinary bookstore, Ling PingAn’s biggest wish was to muddle through life and do absolutely nothing.

 

However, customers that were right in the middle of their pubescent crisis kept visiting his store in the dead of night.

 

For the sake of his business, Ling PingAn had to mimic their childish tones, sparing no effort to promote the books in his store.

 

When he finally managed to sell his books after going through a great verbal tug-o-war, each and every one of them said that they don’t have money, and that they wish to use various tools that were seemingly divine artifacts as pledge.

 

Looking at these customers, Ling PingAn could only agree to them resignedly.

 

But little did he know that every single book that these customers purchased from him had altered in appearance.

 

“Secrets of Cosplay” became “Lower Abyss Research Report”

 

“Stellaris: Settings for Synth Ascension” was in fact “Gospel for Synthetic Beings”

 

What’s more, in the eyes of these customers, he was actually a horrifying ruler of Diablos, an indefinable entity that held the reins of all realms.

 

In this regard, Ling PingAn said, “I’m not, I didn’t, don’t talk nonsense.

Good Book. It features an op mc BUT he doesn’t know he is OP. This book seems to incorporate themes of fantasy(his bookstore is connected to other worlds), mystery(he doesn’t know yet that he is OP, we, the readers will read along to find out why he’s OP) and myth (gods and demons exist within his world). The author also seems to be rather respectful to foreigners, at worst, he has a neutral opinion. Only con is idk what the plot is. It seems like we are just following the mc’s ‘discovery’ (like i said he doesn’t know he is OP neither does he know about other worlds and gods, he’s basically in the dark but somehow connecting the worlds together.) of fantasy and sci-fi elements.

I went into this not expecting much and walked away incredibly surprised. In just 60 chapters, I've been hooked on this story more than any other novel in recent times. The main character doesn't seem like a main character at all. Ordinary man doing an ordinary job. But everyone else sees something completely different from him and that is what turns him into the main character. He's a very relatable character too I think because he sees himself as ordinary. There are a few side characters that are main characters in their own stories as well and I love the dual perspective we see when they interact with the main character. We see the perspective of the ordinary man, who sees a repressed young girl who wants to break out of her shell and cosplay, and then we see the perspective of the young woman from a post-apocalyptic Earth who sees the 'Secrets of Cosplay' as a holy bible to demon hunting to save humanity. I love the way it was done. Overall this novel easily earns a 5/5 from me and I hope that it's picked up and that others enjoy it as much as I did.

Amazing novel, features an MC who is a godlike OP but completely oblivious to it. He runs a bookstore that is connected to a number of different worlds, mainly post-apocalyptic so far, and people that enter his store perceive him as a horrifyingly powerful being. He walks into the abyss between world (his backroom) and sells them a book full of powerful and esoteric knowledge (what he perceives as guides to help them cosplay better or supernatural nonsense). The dichotomy between the MCs POV of the interactions and the customers' is hilarious. Truly a unique read that I can't recommend highly enough. Hopefully gets picked up for regular translation.

An interesting premise and decent idea. HOWEVER : 1)The novel is very blatant in its "propaganda" for a certain country with the standard "this country is the only one with actual intelligence and civility, The rest are barbarians that want to join us." 2) This is a harem, The difference from the standard harem being that there is no romance. In other words the worst parts of harem only. MC is the only male even mentioned for the majority of the story. 3) Issues constantly regarding any mention of price as the translator couldn't copy-paste the symbol properly. 4) Very point to point. Curious if a certain character will be ongoing/reoccuring? Is she an attractive woman? If so then yes. Is the woman, who just turned up immediately after an info dump regarding a "mysterious" topic, related to said topic? Yes directly. Overall : I despise harem but this novel could still be barrable if it weren't for the constant "meta commentary" and "Pro-(a certain country)" propaganda, It isn't even well masked. This novel is around 70% pro-certain country propaganda and using false history to make it sound glorious, 10% describing women, 10% info dumping, 5% MC prattling about playing LoL and 5% of actual interesting story. Would not recommend unless you are utterly desperate.

I actually would recommend this novel. I have only read a couple chapters but it has potential. I have to rate it one start on principle though, because YOU FORGOT THE FIRST TWO CHAPTERS OF THE NOVEL?! I dunno how you mess that up, but since they're missing, we don't have any idea how the story starts! I looked at the raws, and read some poor MTL of the first two chapters! I know they're missing! There's not even any reason to have them missing, they're normal chapters! I'd appreciate it if you would just fix this.

I don't know if the author is dumb or not, but he actually thinks that in some parrallel dimension Japan and Korea would actually want to give up independence and join China or xiA, LOL. In his wet dreams maybe. This is a very nationalistic book. And it is racist. Don't read or vote

WebNovel you have been a major disappointment so far. It seems money can make you even sell your mothers. I once read an article somewhere complaining about your mode of conduct. It stated that you don't give shit about anybody, including yourselves, apart from money. Now I can see their point crystal clear.
