Publisher's Summary

In a blink, I found myself in an unknown land, greeted by the textbox of an unfriendly system.

It wanted me to become a great hero, save the world, win the love of the people and all that crap. But this new world already had a hero. Why should I bust my ass and deal with dragons and the unknown for people I didn't know? Let him deal with that. It's his job! So instead of being tempted by the system's nonsense, I chose a simple class. Potion maker. I wasn't interested in cultivating mana and defying the heavens, courting death, none of that crap.

Unfortunately, the town I spawned near was suffering crippling inflation, merchants and people were leaving, and they themselves lacked high-demand businesses. The town would soon be going under.

Not if I have anything to say about it.

But will it be that easy to escape fate?

Novel contains: strong MC in a slice-of-life environment, dungeon diving, boss battles, cultivation and elements, mana/magic, MC-exclusive system but it doesn't do the work for him, treasures, adventurers, slow world building, build-up, features that will not be introduced all at once (upgrades so on), actual good loot at the end of very powerful bosses, and romance (no harem). As characters develop throughout the series, issues and emotions and even the MC may find himself in a corner or two. A story of an upcoming potion shopkeeper and his apprentices.

Building an S-ranked potion shop is easier said than done....

Great!

Lots of swearing, but the first time I’ve felt that almost all the cussing added to both the story and the humour. Fun and light. Kept expecting things to veer into major cringe territory but it always stays on the right side of the line. Very entertaining voice actors!

By Wanda's shiny bottom!

Great series! Great narration! A guy who just wants to relax in his new life instead of saving the world. But the world has other plans.

A awesome story

I like this approach to a guy who was given powers but decided to live his life as he wants to instead of fighting the BGG.

it's alright.

The book is alright, the writing for all the characters seems a little childish, like all the characters are like 12 years old. The ton of anime references are kinda cringey and will probably not be relevant enough to make sense in a couple of years. It almost felt like a slog trying tk get through the book, I didn't have much of a desire to continue listening after each time I stopped listening.

Leans heavily into LN territory

I both like and dislike this novel. Only after listening did I realize who the author was and what his other series was, with that in mind this series makes more sense. The story is a blend of LN and Western cultivation, and I really wished some of the more cringey tropes had been dropped and pivoted to more Western ideals. This really reads like a traditional Japanese light novel and annoyances aside it's very well written and the story is enjoyable.
