I hate proclaimed Asian military otaku who try to write books. They are absolutely awful at doing research.

TL;DR: author is full of crap and I wouldn't trust this MC to invent a wet fart out of a pile of baked beans.

Let's talk about the crap food preservation techniques this idiot writer thinks is so special. Canning. First: what damn era are we in? Thin metal cans were not common until the later stages of the 19th century, when the invention of the pasteurization technique was introduced. What the author is ACTUALLY describing is Potting, a preservation technique present throughout many civilizations for millennial. The problem is that he's doing this with hot water. Does anyone want to guess what happens if you put raw food in hot water? It cooks. SHOCK! You know what happens afterwards? It goes bad.

Potting requires SALT as a preservative. A lot of salt, or butter. Or vinegar. You might actually say that the process isn't canning... it's pickling. Another VERY COMMON PROCESS since, I don't know, classical Rome.

Jesus, I hate authors who go into minute detail on sh*t that is blatantly wrong and wildly anachronistic at every step of the way. Stick to writing beta MCs and Harems because the minute you try to describe historical food preservation techniques you are so far off base that anyone attempting these methods should have a right to sue you.
