I Smelled The Soup

What an amazing story! Character building and growth felt rewarding causing me to fly through this way to fast. Story had some great laughs while holding tension throughout. Outstanding Job to both the writer and voice acting / production. Cannot wait to see those defenses in action!

Fun Relaxing Tale

I very much enjoyed this tale! It is a relaxing twist on the litrpg genre. It has town building and character development less fighting and more character development. It was a fun listen and the Performance was excellent. I would recommend this!!!

One of my new favorite cozy fantasies

I liked the simple system and progression. Evenly paced and looking forward to more! I recommend you pick this up.

Fun cozy fantasy

This fantasy is super cozy and fun to read! I loved the story and the setting. The characters are sweet and kind.

But I’m a little worried about how perfect everything is. It feels like the story is too easy. Friendships and relationships happen way too fast, and no one seems to have any ulterior motives. There is no tension. If the story had more world-building and showed how the characters grew, it would be even better. The story could have had so much more depth and emotional impact.

loved it!

Other than the fact the mc is horribly physically weak and I understand why. However it just kinda gets on my nerves. Other than that everything else was really good

wonderful little story

fun little story, not breaking the mold on world building or character development. Just nice slice of life enjoyment. Don't take it too seriously and you'll enjoy it

Good narration. Fun premise.

Good world building. Interesting side characters. Slow pace, but interesting. Different twist on MC. Crafting focus

Just the Refresh I Needed

The cover hooked me with this romanticized idea of what it might be like to own a shop in the middle of a fantasy realm. I was immediately taken by the main character Theo and his unexpected Journey into this foreign land. Theo drew me in with his establishment as a demon with the opportunity to unlock rare an epic opportunities inside a long abandoned alchemy shop.
By the time he meets his partner, a newt marshling with a unique bonding spell, I knew I was in for a treat. The stats with small things like potions, buildings, and what their properties are has a fun and easy system to get into.
All in all, it was a great story from start to finish with excellent narration, invoking a regal, yet laid-back and entertaining tale of alchemic mastery, friendship, and townbuilding that stays cozy, while offering a glimpse to a very real world of adventurers and dungeons.

loved the relationships

loved the relationship between the main characters, and how they complimented eachother instead of the male mc taking control of her life so she can stay in, she goes and does her own thing. also loved how there's no betrayal or anything, i didn't feel stressed out reading this 👍🏼

great series!

I've loved this series on royal road and am glad it's finally being made into an audiobook!
