About this ebook

Onigawara Shouzou spends his days working a tiresome job at an IT company, but his life changes when, on a rainy night, he meets a goddess named Silvia—and that's not an exaggeration, she's an actual goddess! That night, she stays in Shouzou's apartment, and their growing attraction to one another becomes more apparent as the night goes on...

The next 13 years of Shouzou's life pass by in a flash, and he couldn't be happier with his new job, beautiful wife Silvia, three daughters, and brand new home. But due to some unfortunate circumstances, his house and everyone in it get transported to another world full of magic and monsters! After finding out they can't go back to their world for at least a year, Shouzou decides that he must support his family the only way he knows how: by joining the sales department of a local guild!

Ratings and reviews

As the title states, the novel mainly focuses on Shouzou's business ventures in the other world. His family does not show up often in the main chapters, but his children are the main focus in the side stories in between chapters. The side stories are used to fill in some loose ends in the main chapters as well as add more detail in certain parts of the plot. This was an important part for me to buy this novel, though it may not be for others, but there are only very minor implications of a "harem" (in other words, when almost every girl likes the ML for some reason) and they only show up at the end. Thankfully, most of these flags are broken pretty quickly and Shouzou is very much in love with his wife. Additionally, I think they see him more as a father than as a potential lover. Most of the conflicts were solved fairly quickly (pretty drama free) so this was a very fun and enjoyable read.

I highly suggest this read if you are interested in adventures that dont involve pure action but are based more on wits. I enjoyed watching the way the mc tackled all his problems and the bonds between the characters.

Loved how it was more about a dependable father having to adjust to new circumstances and him not having to resolve everything with his fists
