Lee Jeong-hoon, an ordinary convenience store owner.

After his death, he wakes up in the body of Eddie, an insignificant innkeeper in the novel, “The Hero Doesn’t Hide His Power Too Well.”

“Gerold?”

“Yes.”

“Is this really our inn’s monthly income?”

“Yes.”

All he has is a run-down inn with no customers and a cold but diligent employee. But with his unique positive and proactive personality, Eddie quickly adapts to this new world.

Using the convenience store in the basement that came as a perk of being a possessor, he sets out to turn the failing inn into a hotspot…

Then one day,

“…I am someone who deserves to die.”

He picks up the Hero, who met a tragic end in the original story.

Feeling sorry for him, he feeds him well, clothes him, and gives him a place to sleep…

“Eddie, if you leave me, I don’t know what I’ll do.”

“…”

“So stay by my side.”

At some point, the Hero begins to obsess over him.

I'm lamenting over fact that this novel is still ongoing.

MC transmigerated into a story where the Hero's identity got stolen by his teammate after defeating the Demon King. On the day of the fake Hero's coronation, MC picks up the despairing real hero from his Inn's doorstep, slowly healing him and finding love himself.

This story essentially revolves around MC's Inn, where he find ways to increase the Inn's popularity while encountering important characters from the Hero's past. As we go further into the story, we realise that the body MC... more>> transmigerated into isn't a random passer-by, his workers have their own secret identities, and there's a web of controversies spread through out the novel with him at the center.

I did feel sad that there wasn't as much Inn-building as expected, but there were many tense situations and hidden backstories, so it didn't get boring. The romance is very smooth sailing with the two protagonists being very self-aware and mature about their feelings. Very wholesome to see the depressed hero getting healed by the Innkeeper who picked him up.

InnkeeperxHero stories are a few of my favourite troupes and I love how everything is way more complicated then initially presented. MC's relationship with his co-workers, the hero's past teammates and the novel world itself is really interesting. The whole setting reminds me of the first arc of " If You Don't Become the Main Character, You'll Die " so if you like the Inn arc, you'll probably find interest in this too.

My bet on MC's identity is

the Emperor's younger brother, aka a prince

but since we aren't anywhere near the end of the story who really knows. It's one of the better written western romfans and at the chapter I'm at, very happy to spend my money to support the author. <<less

A story that made me buy it from ridibooks for the first time! Haha I really liked MC's unique personality.

I also liked the realistic details, like how he has trouble going outside in his current life because he was stabbed to death outside, and how he dreams about his family from his previous life and misses them. These are the kinds of things that are usually skipped, but they were shown here.

His interactions with the ML felt natural, and the balance between their tension and sweet moments was really well done which honestly has become hard to find in stories like this. I'm very curious to see how it will continue.

Also the plot thickens when you least expect it, and things get way more intense and exciting! Definitely caught me off guard in the best way.

In fact, the story did not end with just the transmigration into the novel. Whatever he does, the events are manipulated to lead to the 'most fitting' ending by the author of the story he is in. So no matter how much he changes the middle of the story, the ending might still be the same..sigh We don't even know if it's a happy ending. I really hope he finds a way to break free from that.
