I read ahead on an MTL site, so I've seen a bit of this story...It's a weird world, where instead of re-smelting swords, they are tossed into the garbage, despite a cultural buildup of tr*sh that's problematic. There is a near complete absence of the current culture of using a very small number of slowly digesting slimes to reduce the waste, yet it is their primary waste disposal method, according to this story; basically, the world makes no sense. Some author is keeping blinders on his eyes and pretending that repercussions don't exist when it's convenient to the plot.After about chapter 100, it devolves into a Dog Gamn "ermigerd look I'm jap and I can cook tasty food and wow everybody loves tasty food. wow, umai, delicious, amazing" story. And I finally quit this story after they started patenting basic food recipes. I mean, patent law is a root cause of the general society's lack of empowerment and the perversion of medical and R/D efforts from human-need based into corporate soul-sucking based industry (IRL), so I'm already predisposed to hating patents in fiction, but they're patenting FOOD RECIPES in an era in which everyone is afraid of the monsters that live outside of the walls; completely implausible.How many jap stories must claim that rice is animal feed and it becomes a revolution when the humans start eating it? So absurd. They're trying to make the MC seem special with this implausible cheap trick again...Frankly, I think that it's fluff. If you like fluff, then let the effeminate male author fluff you.
