Ratings and reviews

The king of slow life novels. I remember reading this on Jigglypuff website, it was called man picked up by the gods... or something like that. Pretty much the same story from what I remember, maybe a little more polished.

My only problem with it is that there is no indication of who is talking. I cannot determine who said which because there is no indication who said it and the speech patterns of the original is not applied to the translation, leaving no way of knowing who is talking. Other than that, I really love this story.

I had to dock a star for everything being a bit too easy... A few misses occasionally really enrich the success. Otherwise good read!
