Description
After transmigrating and getting the whole deal of benefits: a class, a subclass, and even a System, Severin was ready to set out and conquer the world.
If only he wasn’t stranded in the middle of nowhere. And if only he was able to leave this small wooden hut.
“Well, if I can’t leave, then I’ll better make sure others come to me!”

- 9two436Royal Road★★★★★ 5.0This is quite the unique take on the litRPG genre as a whole, especially because the mc almost never, ever, fights. Generally, a chill, but nice, story about someone getting better at being a merchant and getting better at crafting. Additionally, the side characters add a lot about the world, and it is nice to see things as a dialogue instead of being there. Another unique quirk of this book. :D
- KatersKaterRoyal Road★★★★★ 5.0read the whole story in one go during university lessons :P so that speaks for itself xD keep up the work and maybe shorter times between chapter releases - so far i saw 4 days between xD hehe
All in all the story is good structured and there are some ways to expand the characters but that all depends on what kind of story it should and which kind of people should read it - so for this kind of publicum which is mostly here - it's amazing - jklmRoyal Road★★★★★ 5.0I love shopkeeper stories!
Set in a fantasy world, this story hits a lot of my favorite tropes: stingy yet OP system, MC seems like a powerful master to his customers, lots of shop expansions, gaining powerful friends and kicking out troublemakers.
I appreciate that the MC's shop assistants aren't just waifu characters, and actually have stories and motivations of their own.
It's a fun slice of life story that I will definitely be following! - TelRoyal Road★★★★★ 5.0Sort of a nitch genera magical shop stories.
This one is done fairly well in a tightly focused way, It's the shop, the shop, and nothing bit the shop. Which is good and has it's moments if you like the genera.
Something I said in a comment much earlier is that it never gets old S-class adventurers losing their cool confronted by SSS-class merchandise.
The characters are pretty good in a friendly sort of generic fantasy story way. The general world building however is basically non-existent beyond the edge of the shop, place names at best stage left out of sight so far.
Worth a read but it is very slow base building, crafting, slice of life, and one running gag. I hope the author branches out to show off more of the world, but that organically should take another 100-150 chapters. - SeinexRoyal Road★★★★★ 5.0Tdlr. It's good. A really solid story. It lacks a bit in intensity so it slow pace makes interesting. Good, no get me wrong, I love the pacing and the depth. But it's missing a certain spice. Nothing intense, I think making the crafting more involved and explained would help. But perhaps him being excited? What if he got quests to complete complicated stuff and he enjoyed it! It would be more amazing then this current system. Why couldn't he just hire someone to manage that portion of the company? The business point. Then imagine getting more in depth in their lives showing how much they enjoyed crafting! It lacks feeling is what I'm saying. Add depth! How would someone feel on a good day? Is the that day great? Sad? How would that influence the character you envisioned! Your work is good! Thank you! Sorry for rambling I just enjoyed your book.
- Ron-AaARoyal Road★★★★★ 4.5All in all, the story is great. Though personally I feel like showing more personal strength towards others would help conceal some of MC's power. But, it's still good though side characters are all interesting with different personalities that make sense. Though when the mc gets mad or annoyed at the system it can be distracting but that is just a minor gripe.
The reason I dropped to 4.5 was that there are still some proofreading that needs to be done but only for the newest chapters. But other that that your good.
Also for people who wish to read this, it's a really slow burn though the characters are great and will make you want more. It's still slow it was a hard read in the beginning, personally for pacing but im glad i did. Secondly there is really no action for the mc, this is more like a village or kingdom building story. Focusing more on money than power really. Chapters are relatively short I have a TTS so on average I can get through a chapter in 6-8 mins. - AtzynRoyal Road★★★★★ 4.5I don't usually read LitRPGs, but the lightness of this one enticed me. It's a nice, unique concept, I like the main character, and it's a pretty fun read overall. The story moves at a brisk pace and the chapters don't feel too long or too short when reading.
My only issue is the spacing of paragraphs; there's too many, too frequently. I suggest combining a few of them at a time, and not including paragraph breaks in dialogue. The double paragraph spacing is random and stops me in my tracks while reading. I also wasn't really a huge fan of the chapters where Severin straight up didn't appear, but I didn't mind them much.
The writing style is getting better with each passing chapter, so good job on that front. The worldbuilding isn't overbearing and it's easy to understand. The idea of the [Berserker] class is something I love and I would definitely play it if it exists in any RPG out there.
In short, it's a fun and unique idea with enjoyable writing and good characters. The only real issue I have is the paragraph spacing, but it's no big deal, and it doesn't take away from the story. Good job! - RuniatRoyal Road★★★★ 4.0And what it is is an isekai shopkeeper system story.
Not a "MC shopkeeper uses his items to become an adventurer", "MC shopkeeper is a native who's now in debt" or "MC shopkeeper has to go adventuring to stock his shop"; no, just selling stuff and restocking using system provided goods.
Which I consider a good thing since I've been wanting to read a story like this for so long I genuinely considered trying to write it myself. Your milage may vary, this isn't for everyone.
From a technical perspective the story is well enough written that any errors failed to break my immersion which is all I pay attention to, and while the characters don't show off that much depth I'd be more surprised if they did - they're customers and retail workers, not part of the MC's band of merry adventurers.
The negative: writing a story is a lot easier if your MC has challenges to overcome, and if you have free products and no mortgage I can see how the next best source of those challenges were the system, but... I do think it could've been done better than it was. Not that I know how, or can explain exactly what I think is wrong without spoilers. - Creator01Royal Road★★★★ 4.0Good enough language and characters. And a story that goes in circle. Main charcter gets acces to a new recepie - crafts it sells it . Everyone praises him pats him on the head jerks him off... Again and again. And again and again and again. And again. You got the rough estimate of the story. Tnhere is nothing else. Dont get me wrong its good but. MC is level 4. Shopkeeper. Highest level is around 100 I think. 120 chapters. 12 hrs in TTS.... But I keep on reading. And dont plan to sptop.
Prices are pulled out of rabbits ass. Ann inn costs 100 000 gold coins. lets say 1 gold coin is between 10 and 30g. With the average price of gold per gram = 40 - 55 $ That would be 40 mill for an inn. At rhe chepest price and the lowest weight. Even if 1 gold coin is 1 g and average price of gold is 10 $. An inn would cost a 1 000 000. But we know that some pople never seen a gold coin and its real money with real buying power for the middle and the lower class so... it cant be 1g and gold priced around 10 $ (purchasing power) So yes Author pulls prices out of his ass. And concidering how much adventurers spending? Who Wouild spend and equvalent of around 100 000 000 $ in a shop ... on potions and consumables ? how much adventureres make ? Just dont devalue gold like that please dont do it.

Its just that author somehow got the skill to write decent enough chapters. And the setting is good. Characters... well its a light novel. And characters are not mede of cardboard.
I love how there are almost no system elements clogging my screen no system pop up every 20 words or random numbers that i will hate the moment i see them. - TenebriscaRoyal Road★★★★ 4.0Ever since the OP has added the telepathic communication, there has been random dialogue that just been missing. Making reading comprehension very difficult. Other than that it has been a good read. Story is well paced. The characters are well fleshed out and there have been no plot holes so far.
