I’m Really Not the Devil’s Lackey Manga

Lin Jie, who has transmigrated into this world, runs a bookshop. Nice and passionate, he always recommends books that are capable of healing one's soul to customers who find themselves in a rough patch in life. Occasionally, he would recommend his own work to them as well. Over time, these customers have grown to respect him a lot. They bring him some simple souvenirs every day to repay him and ask him for recommendations of literary works. At the same time, they tell the people around them about this bookstore owner as well. They have respectful and affectionate ways of addressing him-"The Devil's Hyena", "The Communicator of Flesh Gospel of Books", "The Author of the Corpse Ritual" and " The Star Shepard".

Story: the story is very unique in my opinion, it revolves around a young man being brought to a new world because he wants to own all the books possible, but to do so he uses a ritual and like always there is a price to pay. When he got to the world he runs a book store that he sees as completely normal, but others... they see him and the store as something truly terrifying art: the art is very clean and fits the story very well, the colours as well match and change based of scene very well characters: all characters have their own personality and in my opinion each one works very well with each other overall the manga is amazing and I'd recommend it to anyone who loves to read manga, it just seems to fit well with everyone

A masterpiece! The manhwa is so well-made. One of the best manhwas to read. The plot and progression is stable and balanced. The MC is teleported to another world (yes this is an isekai lol) The basic part is he is a bookstore owner in another world. He wants to see the books he owns, when he let people borrow the books (It looks like a normal book to him) but to other people it is either Horrifying, Bizarre, Magical, Divine or just Unknown in general. The MC gets misunderstood every time, thinking that he is omnipotent and can see the future. But he just uses Psychological Attacks and using Cold Reading, basically a con-artist.

This is one of those stories where the MC is considered noob in his real world but gets transported to new world where also he remains the same (not really but it will be a spoiler) but other people thinks he is some bigshot due to misunderstanding and because the MC talks big from his own world experience which is cool and hilarious really worth it.....and it is quite original and really complements the novel.
