The book receives a real score of 6.8 out of 10. It's an engaging read but lacks uniqueness, leaving little to linger in memory. The story revolves around Eugene, who becomes reverse-isekai'd to Earth to assist in battling monstrous waves. After securing peace for the world, Eugene seeks his own happily-ever-after by returning home and opening an inn, both to honor his parents' desires and enjoy a quiet retirement. The novel takes on a slice-of-life format, with chapters detailing Eugene's efforts to transform his inn into a top-notch establishment, incorporating modern amenities.
However, the narrative gains momentum as Earth's monsters breach his original world, prompting Eugene to balance his inn's success with the task of stopping them before a full-scale conflict arises. The story offers a mix of humorous and emotional moments, particularly through Eugene's interactions with staff and guests. Despite this, the author seems to struggle with managing a large cast, with supporting characters like Eugene's parents and pet mandragora appearing underdeveloped at times, almost as placeholders or mere diversions.
Overall, "Nice Slow-Life Novel" would be a fitting description for those in search of a leisurely read without demanding a complex plot. The book might appeal to those looking for a relaxed, feel-good experience amidst its minor character and pacing issues.
