Description

Edwin Salamand has lived on a farm his whole life. The problem? He's not very good at farming, or anything involving the outdoors, for that matter. When his salamander farm goes belly up, he decides to move to a nearby city. A deal too good to be true goes awry, and he ends up with a dusty old bookshop filled to the brim with unassuming level one skill tomes. Pamphlets, really. It's not the most exciting windfall, but it's a path to an honest life, one that Edwin is confident he can handle. Because running a bookshop for beginners has got to be safe and simple, right? It turns out Edwin's little shop is sitting smack dab in the center of not three, but four magical schools for people that actually enjoy getting soil underneath their fingernails. Also known as, adventurers. As eager warriors-in-training, alongside the occasional rowdy orc, descend upon Edwin's humble little shop, he's going to find himself unexpectedly teaching lessons big and small. Maybe learning them, too, because sometimes it's not the size of the book that matters, but how hard you throw it... The Level One Bookshop is a cozy LitRPG-lite story that blends slice-of- life episodes and the occasional bookworm-worthy adventure. Read more

  • A well done, if a bit formulaic, cozy fantasy.
This was a nice reworking of a standard theme. Edwin is working on a second chance. He has bought a rundown bookstore and needs to make it a success. Almost immediately he meets two helpful people and an antagonistic competitor. The story is a series of increasingly serious difficulties and small successes. His earnest character is what carries him through. The writing, while not inspired, is workmanlike and easily carries the reader through the story. The proofreading is above par for KU books as is the interior consistency. I do disagree with the author’s choice of boiling tea instead of steeping it, but tastes vary. The surprise revelation during Edwin’s hearing felt a bit contrived, but the actual ending satisfactory, even if its foreshadowing was a bit obvious. This is a true cozy; gaining friends, overcoming obstacles, learning and growing without any nail biting confrontations or battles. I’d read this again if I wanted a quiet read on a rainy day. ... show more

  • Sweet, pleasant story
Not a grand swashbuckling adventure, rather a cozy story of growth and friendship. Edwin is a likeable young man with strong moral convictions that guide him in his journey. I quite liked this tale.

  • Wonderful cozy story. Excellent work.
This is a story of a young man who rises from a failed business to take on a new challenge, growing in character throughout. By his honor, honesty, and courage he achieves success in the most meaningful way - the respect and support of true friends. No stats, no grand battles, no swearing, & no sex. Instead, a well-written narrative that is interesting & entertaining, with a little comedy thrown in. Highly recommended for those who enjoy cozy slice-of-life. ... show more

  • Okay story, okay writing
A shorter story following a second try at business, the foibles that come with shopkeeping in a city, and a Lucius Malfoy-esque villian. It's not a bad book - the story itself has charm and definite potential, but the writing style leaves a bit to be desired - it felt very cheesy and cliche the farther into the book I got. The characters do have personality, but need a bit more development. The fights with the 'villian' and the 'justice will prevail' bits feel quite forced. It reads like it was a short story that needed fluffed out for length, so a quick villain was inserted. I honestly feel it would've been better without the villain, if it had just been about the shopkeeper learning and gaining skills in a new city. I would definitely not recommend against it, but I can't say I would actually recommend it either. It's okay and I'll leave it at that. ... show more

  • A Perfecy Cozy LitRPG
Bookstore! This book scratched the itch of running a bookstore. I think every book nerd dreams of a cozy bookshop and tea nook. This was a fun heartwarming adventure. There are a few typos and editing errors but nothing that really breaks you out of the story. Cricket is adorable fun. I love the world building and the characters are growing. I do wish the main villain got his comeuppance but this the start of the series. I am looking forward to the next book and where this series goes. Well done author, well done. ... show more

  • Fun read, needs some help to be really good
This is a great story premise. It is very cozy and easy to read. The characters are very surface level, to the point that it is difficult to tell the characters apart if you are not paying close attention. Parts of the story change to fit what is happening. Like how the rival elite book store suddenly moved to be within eye site of main characters. How the shops apprentice sometimes seems to live up stairs and sometimes at the school. How the next door vendor doesn't sell anything and just helps manage the bookstore. It is still a good story, but I wish it was flushed out a bit more. ... show more

  • wonderful character / merchant based LitRPG
It was a fun and interesting read following the MC throughout the challenges and intrigue of establishing a new shop and carving out a niche for himself. It was a fun progression and the shop is an inviting place I’d love to visit. If you’re looking for a character driven story in system centered on growth give this one a try, you won’t be disappointed. ... show more

  • perfectly cozy read
I like the characters & the magic. Books & teas & not overly complicated but still engaging & endearing. I honestly am mildly cranky there isn't a second book yet. Will purchase book 2 as soon as I see it. Read on KU, plan to go ahead & buy it as soon as I finish my review--especially because I haven't been finishing all of my KU books this week. Some were absolute swill. This was one of the better KU books I read this week--& I read a lot. Don't just read on KU & actually buy it so maybe the author will hurry up & do a book 2 faster. ... show more
