Different from the sword and magic in general fantasy novels, the wolf in Spice and Wolf represents "risk" or "good luck", and the spice represents "wealth". This is a light novel with an economic focus, which describes the various events encountered by the wise wolf and the traveling merchant on their business trip in a light and free manner, so it is also called a strange fantasy novel. The setting of traveling from one town to another in the story is influenced by the lifestyle of people in ancient Europe.
