✦ AI summary

Players praise this bookshop sim for its relaxing, cozy atmosphere and appeal to book lovers, with many finding it fun and engaging. However, some players find the core mechanic of identifying and restocking books tedious, as the small labels require significant squinting and effort to read, which can detract from the otherwise pleasant experience.

the game was so horrendously laggy even on the lowest graphic settings, i could see through walls and ceilings, and this problem doesn't happen with similar games like tgc shop simulator or rune factory 5. its a good game BUT i can't recommend it because i was just really frustrated 90% of the time

This is a really nice chill game. I have played through multiple times and I am now on the achievement hunt! Lots of things could also be added to keep the game interesting!

Would highly recommend if you are looking for something to help you relax.

I don't NOT recommend the game, but I can't strongly recommend it either. I've played for approximately 5 hours. I might play more, possibly, but I have either hit a plateau that doesn't feel worth getting past or it doesn't have the same addictive quality as Supermarket Simulator or TCG Card Shop simulator, Retro Rewind or Blind Box Simulator. I will say, the tutorial was excellent and the the used book boxes with the special books/valuable books is a nice touch. However, from what I can tell it is: buy book licenses, buy books, customers buy books, restock books, and not much strategy. There is no rhyme nor reason for what customers buy, which makes more sense in a game like Supermarket Simulator, where it makes sense to have a wide variety of things in your cart. I know very few readers that would be equally as happy picking up the Oliver Twist equivalent along with the Where the Wild Things Are equivalent along with Sarah J. Mass equivalents. People like to branch out, yes, but many stick to a genre or type of book. If there was a book recommendation option, that would be great. Or requests to stock something. This just already feels repetitive 5 hours in, in ways that other …
