I expected this to go slowly, but after over a dozen chapters of catching rats with traps, finding potions in a garbage dump (because for some reason the containers can't be reused) and weirdly deep explanations of low grade potions and their containers, it does get boring.Maybe there's more development later on, but judging from other reviews, that doesn't seem to be the case. Literally nothing happens. There's no real danger, no interaction beyond selling a few animals caught in traps, and no progression in sight.Dialogues are summed up in a paragraph, but somehow repeatedly searching the garbage dumps with practically the exact same results each time deserves several chapters. That is in the title of the novel, but I didn't expect that there wouldn't be anything else that would be significant.The writing isn't horrible aside from the plot not moving forward and the premise isn't bad either, but if this novel ever does take off, it's taking too long to do so.The translation quality doesn't impact the rating I'm giving this novel, but it's also pretty bad, to the point that grammatically correct sentences become the exception. It's understandable, but not enjoyable to read.
