this book is such a delightful return to the world of The Nameless Restaurant—i've read book 1 & 2 two years ago and i enjoyed them because it has a good blending humor, some supernatural elements and the chaos of customer service into a thoroughly entertaining read. this novella follows Mo Meng and his staff as they struggle to maintain order in their once-cozy supernatural eatery, now filled with new customers both human and magical due to the rising background of magical levels.

the story is fun and fast-paced exploration of the challenges of expansion, the clash between old and new, and the struggle to uphold traditions in the face of relentless change. Mo Meng, as always, is a fantastic protagonist—gruff, powerful, and endlessly exasperated by the world around him. his strict rules on magic within the restaurant are being tested like never before, and seeing how he navigates the growing pressures is both hilarious and engaging.

the side characters continues to shine, adding depth and charm to the story. their banter & interactions—whether dealing with unruly magical beings, clueless human customers, or each other—are packed with wit and warmth. the author's signature humor is in full force, making this an easy and enjoyable read for fans of lighthearted urban fantasy. overall this is a fantastic novella that expands the world of The Nameless Restaurant while staying true to its cozy yet chaotic charm. if you enjoy magical slice-of-life stories with a touch of humor and a lot of heart, this is definitely worth picking up!
