I'm trying very hard to finish this, but I'm not sure I've ever read something so inane in my life.
>man is offered a position as a butler
>spends a chapter discussing the contract with his lawyer
>he receives his uniform
>he learns to cook
>he talks to his employer about the possibility of having internet installed
>proceeds to work with a contractor to fit the internet to the house's needs
>his employer's niece thinks he ought to get a physical
>the employer's doctor passed away three years ago, though
>butler begins to look for a new doctor
>goes to dinner with his parents
>they talk about his new job
I'm halfway through the book and this is literally everything notable that has happened. The magic is so fucking irrelevant, it's all shit like "oh don't worry about doing yardwork, the fairies take care of that" and "oh wow, my butler's handbook opens to exactly the page I'm looking for whenever I want". What is the point of this book? Why did the author feel the need to write it?
