Awesome!If you are a fan of slow life stories and know what it means then this story is for you. Its so hard to find slow life stories. There are not many who stick to their settings. I read around 800 novels and currently I am only aware of 5 novels that didnt turn into harem/ world conflict/ demon king/ city founding genre midways.I am fine with plottwists but I dont like it when they start off as slow life and drop the genre halfway through for the rest of the story.BTT: This story focuses alot on interactions. I read a few bad things about the interactions and came to realize that those people are eather heavy action oriented or simply lack the necessary experiences. I grew up with 3 brothers and 20 kids around my age. I can relate to those moments. Even the "annoying" sister. My guess is that the author specifically made her that way because he had a friend of that kind. My oldest brother was like that. He forced us to do many things "just because he had to do it too" :D Really unreasonable but thats life. Older siblings get to push you around abit. Thats their privilege as siblings.The ab*se:People seriously suffer from delusions. That has nothing to do with ab*se. Thats childhood. How many bruises we had back then while playing around. We even threw big rocks around until one of us got hit and we learned it the hard way. I broke my bones 4 times by accident/ s*upidity and didnt die from it. Kids have to do some limit testing otherwise they turn out to be NPC´s (input = output without diversity).No ab*se happened. Maybe the soldiers inspection could be viewed as a conflicting situation but thats it.Downside: The food focus. I am a bit fed up with rice obsession and soy sauce hunting but thats their lifestyle and focus. We read about steaks and stuff too. The thing I am annoyed by is the density/ frequency. There are so many chapters focused on food that you can easily say its a quarter of the story. around 150 chapter at the least. (maybe a slight exageration but not by a large margin) Overall a heartwarming story with a MC as ordinary as gets. Some say he is s*upid but thats because the other novels portrait their MC in a way that you get delusional. In reallife we are not super smart, we dont have photgraphic memory, cant recall "basics" from anything we ever read/ heard off. The MC is on a regular human being level. No h**ny, no surreal idealism, no MC-arrogance, no narcissism, no machiavelism and obviously no template villain type "humans" (They really make no sense and you would never meet such apes in reallife. Not even in china or ohio... maybe in australia where you can find real primates)
