Hello, Anyone have any recommendations for novels where owning a shop/business/restaurant/bakery is an important part of the story? It could be as integral to the novel as the cooking system in Gourmet of Another World or simply a side venture more akin to the tea shop in The Duchess' 50 Tea Recipes. It doesn't even have to be amazing, I'm just looking to satisfy an itch.
So anything with the "Store Owner" tag? Some recommends of my own (haven't read very much of some of them yet, though): Trafford’s Trading Club (trading club?) Pet King (pet store, modern) Black Tech Internet Cafe System (the junk food type book I read in my free time. Internet cafe + gaming center set in xuanhuan world) Cultural Invasion In Different World (kind of like Black Tech Internet Cafe System, but in a western fantasy world and the MC is actually a demon spreading anti-racism propaganda xD)

Woah, dungeons and alchemy? Sounds great. A nice, solid looking list with an abundance of chapters. Thanks a ton! And yes, essentially just the Store Owner tag. Unfortunately, I've learned through experience that niche tags like this aren't always included on novels that they apply to.
