The Gourmet Innkeeper: Cooking Monsters in a Fantasy World

[Welcome to a New World, Innkeeper! Let’s build something cozy~] Masterchef Finn thought he was finally getting his restaurant when he was literally thrown into a world filled with beasts and magical creatures. And…he had to build an inn? Smack in the middle of nowhere? Er, no, not nowhere. In the middle of monster-infested areas! Fortunately, he had a massive shield to protect him and the inn. He could build stuff with the press of a button, and he could buy useful things from a mysterious market. He even got a cute panda mascot as a taste tester. Maybe this place wasn’t as bad as he thought. He thought that maybe, just maybe, he could finally live the relaxed life focused on cooking that he had once dreamed of! However, he soon realized that his future customers would be adventurers, mercenaries, merchants, and even other creatures. He was tasked to house them and feed them, to help them survive in the most dangerous part of their world. Like this, he was inexplicably drawn to a bigger world and was pushed to take on responsibilities outside his precious comfort zone. He was even asked to do [Missions] himself! What kind of Innkeeper is expected to do monster clearings!? ... ____ If you like: - Adventures and Monster Fights (Weak to Strong tho!) - Quests / Missions - LitRPG - Cooking! - Business-building / Money-making - Inn-building / Infrastructure - Slice-of-life / Cozy!

Saikon: To Stand As Yourself Once More

Ryo Kenzaki was just a high schooler. Ordinary. Forgotten. Content to fade into a crowd and wait for the end of the day. Then a star fell from the sky, and everything changed. In a moment of instinct, he pulled a bleeding woman from a crater—and learned that the world he knew was a lie. The Human Realm exists on borrowed time, separated from the Hunting Realm by a crumbling threshold. On the other side, monsters wait. Creatures born when Hunters break—warriors twisted into something that only remembers hunger, their humanity consumed by an endless need to kill and feed. When a Spider creature hunts Ryo across burning ruins, he's dragged into the last sanctuary: a dojo at the edge of both worlds, run by a woman who expected his arrival. Tsukihime offers him a choice—one that isn't really a choice at all. A blade. A Kizugami—a weapon forged from wounds themselves, blessed with a terrible awareness. It doesn't serve the wielder. It judges them. And in the moment Ryo touches the hilt, he feels it: the blade seeing into him, searching for something, finding him wanting. But there's no walking back. A Kaimon hunts him. A cosmic Eye watches from the sky. And somewhere in the gathering darkness, something vast and inevitable is moving toward the world's end. Ryo never wanted to be a Hunter. Never wanted to inherit a curse he didn't deserve. But fate, it seems, has already made its choice for him. The only question left is: when everything is stripped away—when he's forced to become something other than human—can he still stand as himself once more? Or will the blade consume him like it has consumed all the others?

THE CRONICLE OF THE VAMPIRE LORD AND CHINESE IMMORTAL

A romantic-comedy action saga of eternal love, endless reincarnation, and two immortals who refuse to give up. For thousands of years, a woman named Elara has been trapped in a cruel celestial curse: Every time she dies, she is reborn— in a new body, a new life, a new era… but never free. Across 47 reincarnations, two immortal beings have chased her through history: Aldren The sharp-tongued, dramatic Vampire Lord, master of blood arts, world-class overthinker, and hopeless romantic who burns kitchens when trying to impress her. Li Wusheng The stoic, ancient Chinese Immortal, cultivator of the Heavenly Dao, socially awkward around modern humans, and eternally calm—except when Aldren exists. They are rivals. They are enemies. They are in love with the same woman. And they have been fighting for her for millennia. Elara’s 47 Lives Princess. Pirate queen. Imperial medic. Vampire bride. Every lifetime reveals a new side of her… and another tragic end. Haunted by dreams she can’t understand, Elara slowly regains her memories— and along with them, the emotional weight of every love, loss, and death she once endured. Her two immortals do everything to win her heart: Competing in martial duels Destroying cities by accident Fighting sky demons at 3AM Arguing in parking lots Attempting romantic gestures that go terribly wrong All while Elara tries to survive her newest reincarnation. The Truth of the Curse Elara is not cursed because of love. She is cursed because she is the Eternal Core— the reincarnation engine that sustains the realms. If she stops reincarnating… existence collapses. A celestial deity seeks to reclaim her power. Aldren and Li are forced into an uneasy alliance to protect her. For the first time in history, the three stand together. The Final Battle and a New Beginning When the deity attacks Earth, Elara unleashes memories of all her past selves. She saves the realms— but her soul shatters once more. Reincarnation #48 begins somewhere in the modern world. Aldren and Li swear to find her again. Their rivalry reignites instantly: “I’ll find her first!” “Your senses are inferior.” “You outdated bamboo-stick monk—!” “You overdramatic bat—!” And somewhere in the city, a teenage girl looks up at the sky, unknowingly waiting for chaos to enter her life again. Thus continues the eternal chase: A comedy of immortals, a romance spanning ages, and a destiny that refuses to end.
