Arthur never knew the comfort of home—until he died. Now, reborn in a vibrant demon world, he's serving up more than just tea; he's crafting the life he always dreamed of, one friendship at a time.

Arthur didn't plan on being reincarnated into a world full of demons. But after the initial misunderstandings were cleared away, he found himself exactly where he wanted to be: in a world that was nice.

Accurate and cute

Okay this book was cute as hell, and very charming. The cute hand-holding romance is adorable. As someone who once owned a boba shop I found myself laughing at the accuracy (having to throw out boba half way through the day, offering hot boba tea and oddly enough I had an employee who ended up being like a little sister) highly recommend if you like slice of life. My only criticism is that is spends a lot of time explaining things, but it’s not enough to ruin this cozy read!

Amazing!!!!

Amazing!!! Love it from the first page!!! Can’t wait to get the second book soon!!

A lovely story about friends and Tea

This is a lovely little slice-of-life Isekai story about a guy who takes his second chance at life to make tea. It's got a interesting world, some fun characters, and does a good job of balancing slice of life with a little bit of excitement.
This is a re-recorded version that fixes some minor errors in the first version.

A soothing book that will make you smile

This is not a book about brave adventures or fighting for survival. This is a book meant to be a happy escape from a stressful world and it does this marvelously. The characters are awkward yet relatable and the plot is fun without being excessively wordy. I highly recommend it.

Im enjoying the story, but the narration is frustrating

There's a few things about the narration that keep pulling me out of the story. The added reverberation when the MC is thinking to himself is way, way too much.

Also, periodically the narrator begins adding an uncomfortable pause between two different characters speaking. It's so weird... and increasing the speed of the narration doesn't help because they are speaking at a normal tempo. It's like the narrator needs time to change voices, but it takes so long sometimes that I almost close what I'm doing to see why the book stopped.

That being said, the story is pretty cute. Nothing too much of substance, the writing is okay. Most of what happens is fairly obvious and expected. It's a light, enjoyable read to have on in the background.
