Participant of the Webnovel spirity awards, so votes, reviews, and comments are very much appreciated!
*******
Following the unfortunate news of his grandfather’s passing, Lucien is forced to go back to his old hometown. As the sole living relative, he gets to inherit his old pop’s bookstore. A place where he had spent most of his childhood.
There, however, he finds an ancient book that ends up shaking his view on the world and raising the curtain over a side he never knew existed, one filled with magic, mythical creatures, and all sorts of dangers.
“Wait a minute! Are you telling me, grandpa was a wizard?!”
Follow Lucien as he slowly unveils the mysteries of this hidden world, meets new people, saves princesses, befriends dragons, and uncovers the ancient secrets of his bloodline.
This is the story of the Bookstore Mage.
*******
This story is set in a modern-day setting. It’s not earth but a parallel world similar to ours with different countries and all of that.
There will be some world-hoping elements down the line.
There will be some elements of army building.
There will be pets.
There will not be any harem, I’m not confident enough to write a realistic one without compromising the relationships.
There will be a realistic development of both the MC’s powers and his relationships.
This will seem like a slow start, but it will hopefully pick up the pace whilst still being enjoyable.
I’m not writing the chapters now, this is an old draft I had for a long time. So the updates will be consistent.
And lastly:
The cover Is not mine, if the owner would like me to remove it please let me know.

If you're looking for a fun, easy read that will transport you to another world, then look no further than The Bookstore Mage. Lucien's story is at once exciting and heartwarming, and I loved following him on his journey of discovery. I particularly enjoyed the humor woven throughout the narrative. It had me laughing out loud on more than one occasion. The author has a real talent for lightening even the most tense situations with a touch of irony or a well-placed quip. The world-building is also excellent. I could easily imagine the different settings and scenarios, and the creatures Lucien encounters are truly imaginative. I can't wait to read more chapters!

If you're a fan of fantasy novels, then you'll love The Bookstore Mage. The story is fast-paced and action-packed, with a healthy dose of humor thrown in. The characters are lovable and relatable, and you'll find yourself rooting for them from start to finish. If you're looking for an enjoyable read, The Bookstore Mage is definitely the book for you!
Shameless Author’s 5 -stars review. This book is going to be a bit different from what I usually write, but I hope you guys will enjoy it nonetheless.
I really enjoyed this book! The story was very well written and kept me engaged the whole way through. I loved the characters and the mythical creatures. The world-building was excellent and I can't wait to read more about this hidden world. I highly recommend this book to anyone who loves fantasy novels. [img=update]
Great story ,not the mindset of a fantasy genre that is very simple : "fireball" or the complicated magic technique of magus world.

I have liked everything so far! I'm obsessed, OBSESSED Y'LL! !! READ THIS, DO NOT MISS OUT ON THIS! WHAT A READ! Hats off to the author.
I have to say this one is a masterpiece but the only thing I'm disappointed in is that there's only 1 chapter/weak please author atleast Give us more chapter so we, your fans, can help you climb up the rankings
This is a really interesting and beautiful story. It's certainly inspired by "I'm Really Not the Evil God's Lackey", but goes very differently about it. The setting of a bookstore and learning magic while living a comfortable life in it has just made me fall in love with the book, and i can't wait to see where it goes. I recommend it to everyone that enjoys fantasy, magic and i'm certain quite a bit of Mystery. My only fear is if this turns into a harem story, so far there haven't been many signs of it, but it's always scary that a harem will come and ruin every book i read.
keep doing more please don't ever drop I couldn't stop reading the second I started
I quite like this novel, the way the world is portrayed is fascinating and the characters are unique. I would recommend this.
A nice and interesting storyline with magical aspects that are perfectly written into the novel. Easy to understandable writing with great chatacter design and story. I do not know what to criticise only the update stability that will hopefully get fixed!
An overall good book, it leaves a lot to be imagined but I like it that way. I have been searching for a novel that incorporates a bookstore into its theme and this book delivered 20 fold, I think this is the only good bookstore novel on webnovel.
so far the story is good. It reminds me of Harry Potter, with all the magic and creatures. The story development is good, there is always something, whether it be a new spell or scenario and it has a bit of mystery too with all the weird magic and families. I just hope that the story remains revolved around the bookstore.In the end the story has a lot of potential and if you liked Harry Potter than this is the story for you
I justfinished reading all the available chapters of this, and I am loving it!! Please, please pick write more for this. It is such a good story
I wasn't sure what to expect when I picked up this book, but I was pleasantly surprised! The Bookstore Mage is a delightful fantasy novel that had me hooked from the very first page. Lucien, the main character, is a likeable and relatable protagonist who is thrust into a world of magic and mystery following the death of his grandfather. I loved watching him grow and change as he learned more about his grandfather's magical abilities, and the supporting cast of characters were all well-developed and entertaining. The story was fast-paced and engaging, and I found myself eager to find out what would happen next. I would highly recommend this book to anyone looking for a fun read!
