I’m Really Not The Demon God’s Lackey

by Great Calamity Of Fire

Lin Jie, a transmigrator, is the owner of a bookstore in another world.

He’s kind and warm-hearted, often recommending healing books to customers who are going through a tough time. From time to time, he secretly promotes his own work too.

Over time, these customers begin to respect him greatly, some even frequently bringing local specialties to repay his favor. They often seek his professional opinion when it comes to selecting books, and share their experiences with this ordinary bookstore owner to people around them.

They respectfully and intimately refer to him using names such as the “Demon God’s Lackey”, “Propagator of the Flesh and Blood Gospel”, “ ‘Corpse Devouring Sect’s Rites and Customs’ Author” and “Shepherd of the Stars”.

An interesting story mostly told in shallow and inconsistent exposition. The biggest positive is that this dense/naive protagonist is done much better than others in this type of novel. He is mature and experienced, but prone to making random assumptions based on nothing at all. The story itself is also better and not at all bogged down in 'cool' scenes and romantic drama. Either I got use to the negatives or it gets much more entertaining later on. The excessive side characters and POVs finally stabilizing also significantly helped.

I read a great review for this book by kkgoh on NU and I can’t describe it any better than that. I’d read their review if you’re especially interested in all the negatives about this novel.

I love your work. It helped me find my own recognition with God. I don't know if that's your purpose. But, I wholly thank you. You literally saved my life, Dawg. Thank you. May God find his way through you. I love you, Bro/Homie. Whatever you're good with. I have so much thanks for you. I hope all your readers can have such an experience. I'll pray for your success. 🙏 May all of the lights bless you. You're a true monarch, in a world of literature.

Great potential, terrible execution

I'm a sucker for the MC is a powerful store owner trope, coupled with it being a book store i was sold right away and excited to read this.
sadly, the author basically keeps the MC ignorant of what is actually going on throughout the entire book, only the books being something else than what the MC thinks and the MCs proficiency at giving fortune-teller like advice keeps the plot rolling, but it gets stale very fast.

fun book, quite easy to read, the misunderstandings do need to work for you to enjoy it, so if you don't like those then this definitely isn't for you. somewhat shallow sidecharacters. Awful ending though.

Uno de mis favoritos de misterio, también me gusta mucho el cómic.

Great book,...but the author gets tired of writing along the way and clears everything all in one go. Other than the rushed ending, it's a pretty descent read.
