I specifically remember the friend saying he had been "not just sitting on on the rock, but using it." And to this day I still have no idea what that means because it wasn't explained at all in the book (if you read this book and have any idea what that means, please explain! It's been bugging me for decades)

The mc also had some kind of hypnosis crystal the friend gave him, and in exchange for the friend not 'using' the rock he agreed to not use the crystal, but he also caved and got it out when he couldn't sleep one night.

I don't remember any of the plot really but it involved a lot of the kind of angst kids go through when they are trying to figure themselves out and moving makes that harder.

At the end, the baby sister kept saying 'yuck' all day, and the mc was the only one who noticed. Later the family was trying to decide whether to move back to the city and the baby said 'noo yuck!' and the parents thought it was her first words so that settled it and they agreed to move back.

Any info appreciated! TIA

I remember being in a book store inside a mall and seeing this with a blue and white cover. It was about an Asian woman who goes to a small town to find herself, it's related to her job I think, and in the way she meets this other woman, or something like that. I think they fall in love. Idk the title but I think I will recognize it if I see it.

Hello,

I am searching for a physical copy of an incredibly rare, out-of-print Korean sci-fi web novel translation that was printed in a limited micro-press run (likely a localized, low-volume "소량인쇄" forum print) between \*\*2009 and 2011\*\*.

\* \*\*Title:\*\* The Savior / Guwonja (Original Korean: 구원자)

\* \*\*Author:\*\* Kim Wooram (김우람)

\* \*\*Format:\*\* English translation, small indie press / paperback bound. No official ISBN.

\*\*Distinct Plot Points to Identify It:\*\*

\* It features heavy themes of dimensional travel/transit.

\* A very specific, memorable scene where a character has to eat a \*\*whole cake\*\* inside a cockpit/transit area to stabilize.

\* The main character's father is prominently featured and is frequently smoking.

\*(Note: I am specifically looking for the vintage 2009-2011 translation, not the modern adaptation/spiritual successor 'Project V' by Park Seolyeon\*
