There are a lot of good things about this story. Its laid back, has interesting story and its an ok read to pass the time. But even though I cant say I dont enjoy it, there a couple of points which since I read until volume 11 are obvious now. 1. For some reason even though there is magic, there are a lot of things missing that of course the MC readily provides. Even though he has strength with his familiars we are in volume 11 and he still doesn't see it.2. Its annoying how homophobic the author is, or think his audience is. There are a lot of instances the protagonist is saying this and that to show that other characters are just too close or look at him a certain way. Of course, it could be way worse than it is. (I don't want this to turn to BL FYI) 3. Polygamy- but only for the men. Its been made obvious again and again that polygamy is ok in this world and really I wouldn't have a problem if it mentioned a relationship with a woman as the main focus and her harem, but its always about a man and his wives. We get it author you want to have a harem...4. No love for the MC. Again, if the author wanted not to make the romance a subplot it would have been fine, but he keeps saying his MC wants to have a woman. So lets see. We have an MC, that cooks, has money, is renowned for his adventures, and is kind, but for some reason, there is no female (not only a human woman, but any other race too) that finds the MC attractive. Which is really s*upid. According to the author elves love food, so if there was someone who makes awesome food, wouldn't then be normal for a female elf to fall in love with him ? Nope... He has money, is kind, and can produce otherworld goodies, wouldn't there be someone that could fall in love for his kindness, and of his other qualities? Nope... Lastly, he may not look strong, but has the ability to command familiars that are strong. No warrior woman is attracted to that side of him as they see only him as weak. We only have a child saying she maybe wants to marry him and is then labeled as a golddigger, so only golddiggers would be interested in him I guess. SighI hope there is in the future someone who appreciates the MC and we also see a change in the writing regarding these points, but I won't hold my breath.
