Unfortunately it was axed....
Look, the characters and art are great, the story’s compelling. Etc etc.
THE THING IS. Why should this million dollar chef become so op? Battle wise. This dude hasn’t used a shield nor sword in his life. He should suck ass at combat. Not only that, but the mate hasn’t touched a single video game in his life. Combos? What are those? Team tactics? Never heard of them.
This dude should be weak as all hell. And you’re telling me. This dude beat up a lizard the size of a building? Nah. I call cap.
Everything else is great. I wish I could just omit all battle scenes.
A story of a chef who due to an accident, lost his sense of taste and smell, which led his life to a downward spiral. A stroke of curiosity leads him to try the VR game called Real which might just help him regain his missing senses afterall.
Overall, the story is okay. Great for those seeking to read something light without all the heavy drama she-bang. Plot makes sense and its just enough to keep you engaged when a new update comes up.
