An inept conjurer longs to become a hero.

This one got off to a rocky start, with annoying character introductions and really abrupt scene changes. I'm glad I didn't give up because the characters did improve and the story is kind of fun. This isn't likely to be a series I'll fall in love with, but I would happily read the next volume.

It's the end of the world and a hotel waiter and a spoiled rich boy might be the only two people left in the world.

I assumed this would be a drama given its post-apocalyptic setting, but it's actually more of a comedy. It's a fun read in a dumb rom-com way if you don't take it too seriously.

This was a DNF. This book starts with a prissy man getting in a fight with his girlfriend while the room service waiter is setting the table. The girlfriend storms off, there’s a big explosion and now we’re in the apocalypse. The room service waiter who is military is taking care of the trillionaires son and things are not going well. Nuowan doesn’t want to live if life isn’t easy and he doesn’t have access to money. While in the first few pages Nuowan kissed the server now three show more days later when the server kisses Nuowan, Nuowan, calls him a pervert and runs off, almost killing himself because they’re in a ten-story building, and he’s forgotten it in Apocalypse. I find this is an enemies-to-lovers book. I have no desire to get there. I think the repetitiveness of the server being called a pervert, just for kissing a guy doesn’t make me want to see them together in the end. So this book is a no thank you. show less

Funny in a way, but over-all was kinda meh?

Also has some translation errors.
