Description
After three years of struggling in the big city, Chu Zhishui finally managed to save enough money to buy a home. However, she discovered that she was the only human in her new workplace? Chu Zhishui: Are even supernatural creatures seeking stable jobs with iron rice bowls now? – In the office, Chu Zhishui gradually adapted to working at the supernatural bureau. Despite her diligence and dedication, she couldn’t escape the gossip and social niceties of a small town, facing the enthusiastic attention of the matchmaking department head. Supernatural Department Head: “Little Chu, you’re doing so well at work. Have you considered settling down and starting a family? Let me set you up with someone. Do you have any requirements?” Chu Zhishui silently recited the mantra of singlehood in her mind, but not wanting to dampen the mood, she decided to be deliberately demanding: “I don’t ask for much in a partner. Just someone good-looking, filial to my parents, capable of doing housework, and able to earn money to support the family…” The supernatural department head replied readily: “Great, I’ll find someone for you!” Chu Zhishui steeled herself and added with gritted teeth: “…and they must be able to bear children!” Just as she thought the department head would give up, the other party had a sudden realization: “The one in your office can bear children! Why don’t you just admit you like him?” Chu Zhishui: ??? – Chu Zhishui: I thought I could slack off at my job in the supernatural bureau, but it turns out that was just wishful thinking.

My Thoughts on I Want to Slack Off at the Demon Bureau
First Impressions
"I Want to Slack Off at the Demon Bureau" immediately caught my eye with its intriguing premise: a human navigating the monster-filled corporate world. It's not every day you stumble upon a josei novel that blends slice-of-life with the supernatural, and I was eager to dive in. The tags promised comedy and romance, and I was hoping for a lighthearted and fun read.
What Works Well
One of the strongest aspects of this novel is undoubtedly the dynamic between the main characters. I found myself thoroughly entertained by their constant bickering and the natural chemistry they share. It's a refreshing change of pace from the typical romance tropes. The female lead is a cool, capable, and hardworking individual, and the male lead, despite his immense power, doesn't abuse it. This creates a balanced and engaging relationship that's a joy to follow. The world-building, while not the primary focus, is also quite charming. The idea of a company staffed by supernatural beings is inherently amusing, and I enjoyed seeing how the author incorporated elements of divination and discrimination into the narrative. The protagonist's financial acumen and its benefit to her colleagues was also a nice touch. It's a testament to her skills and makes her a valuable member of the demon bureau.
Areas of Concern
While I thoroughly enjoyed the character interactions and the overall lighthearted tone, I can see why some readers might find the plot lacking. The main storyline seemed to take a backseat, especially towards the end, where it felt somewhat rushed. If you're looking for a novel with a complex and action-packed plot, this might not be for you. It's definitely more character-driven than plot-driven. Also, while I read the translation was not the best, I did not encounter any issues.
Final Verdict
Overall, "I Want to Slack Off at the Demon Bureau" is a cute and entertaining slice-of-life novel with a unique premise and a delightful cast of characters. If you're in the mood for a lighthearted read with plenty of humor and a charming bickering couple, I highly recommend giving it a try. Just be aware that the plot is secondary to the character interactions and the overall slice-of-life feel. It's a perfect palate cleanser between more intense reads.
