## My Thoughts on Salvation Began from Cafe "Salvation Began from Cafe" is a fanfiction that plunges our protagonist, Lin Yalin, into the world of *GochiUsa* (Is the Order a Rabbit?), specifically as Chino's cousin. It blends slice-of-life with a system administrator twist, a touch of wish fulfillment, and a large dose of harem antics. While it has its charms, it's not without its flaws. ### First Impressions Initially, I was intrigued by the premise. Transmigration into the *GochiUsa* universe? Throw in a system and a cafe in desperate need of saving? It sounded like a recipe for some lighthearted fun. The synopsis is vague, which may deter some, but I found the initial chapters engaging enough to keep me reading. ### What Works Well The core strength of this story lies in its easy-to-read nature and the MC's dedication to helping those around him. Lin Yalin, despite being a "Gary Stu" with a helpful system, comes across as genuinely caring. Many enjoy seeing him use his knowledge and system to assist his friends, even if the system's missions act as the initial catalyst for his actions. The setting, which gradually expands into the entertainment industry, is another plus. It's a refreshing change from the typical world-hopping found in many Chinese fanfictions, allowing the story to focus on building a more grounded narrative. ### Areas of Concern However, the novel suffers from some noticeable issues. The sheer number of characters and plotlines introduced can feel overwhelming, leading to rushed developments or forgotten threads. I also felt that some plot points felt a little hasty. Character development, especially for the female leads, is sparse, and the girls sometimes blend together. ### ⚠️ Spoiler Warning If you plan on going into this novel blind, skip this section! The initial premise involves the MC needing to pay off Chino's family's massive debt after her father goes missing, a plot point that some might find ridiculous given the typically lighthearted nature of *GochiUsa*. ### Final Verdict Overall, "Salvation Began from Cafe" is an enjoyable, albeit flawed, fanfiction. While the translation might be a bit rough around the edges, the MC's genuine desire to help others, coupled with the unique blend of slice-of-life and system elements, makes it a worthwhile read for fans of the genre. It's not a masterpiece, but it offers a decent escape into a familiar world with a fresh twist. I'd give it a solid 3.5/5.
