Mukouda still getting pushed around by everyone, including his new slaves. The idiot twins really are idiots in the worst way, and refuse basic jobs like escorting one of the other women shopping, and requests to stop eating Fel’s food. Even the dwarf demands more whiskey as payment instead of being satisfied with 2 bottles of the amazing booze he has never seen before 🤦🏻♀️ seriously, they’re running roughshod over him, and he’s paying super generously, providing top notch food, cooking for them…even planning to get lots of meat because the 5 year old has converted to a serious meat lover. This is food that they would never get to eat in their lifetime and now she’s demanding it…Also, the amount of meat that they eat does make me feel a little bit sick after reading in so much detail about it. I am by no means a vegetarian, but eating meat like that every single day, 3x a day is extremely heavy and I am pretty sure I would get sick of it quickly. If not for the dungeons, I think Mukouda’s group would hunt the forests completely bare to keep up with their demand.
I know this is fiction, but it’s really maddening to me when an author puts things in that only serve as comedic effect but don’t really make sense.
I’m glad they at least cut down on the gods’ screen time, because it was getting excessive. Bad enough that he still gives alcohol weekly to the god of all creation - when it starts describing food or alcohol, that’s a signal to skip at least 1-2 pages. It’s filled with little details that possibly some alcohol aficionados might think were cool (this brandy was presented once to blah blah blah), but IMO it’s a waste of space.
The three heroes are a disappointment to me. It just seems like wish fulfillment that he can marry both girls. And of course they have absolutely no problem with this even though they are from modern-day Japan. I do not recall any previous mention of polygamy until this point, so that’s awfully convenient.
The interaction with the earl is also a disappointment, because he throws his weight around even though Fel could literally destroy his entire country. He is happy to get the magic hair treatment (of COURSE it’s hair treatment 🤦🏻♀️) but starts demanding to control the supply, etc. Mukouda, as usual unaware of his own standing, gifts him with an amazing number to suck up. Lambert doesn’t want to take the bottles for free, so he gives a whole 75 gold for 50 sets, which normally sell for 50 gold each. Why even bother?? By the way, I think Sean Connery as an older man was extremely distinguished and good looking despite the hair loss. Some men lose hair more gracefully than others.
I will say that the writing quality has improved over the last eight volumes. It is no longer as awkward, even though it is still very much too much telling.
This entire review has been hidden because of spoilers.
For a guy who is in his late twenties Mukohda is quite honestly, dumb. Everyone is pushing him around even his own familiars. The guy needs to find a library and educate himself on monsters, nobility, and how to defend himself. It's tiring to see him so lazy and cowardly.
Though the general theme of this series is that Mukhouda is a kind person who is a total pushover, and that's what kinda makes it entertaining, I am actually hoping for a day where he finally breaks and pushes back and punishes Fel and Dora-Chan for being such assholes. Though I must admit the Orc settlement storyline was kinda funny.
This entry in the story focuses on the mundane day to day life of Mukhouda and gang, and though I wish for every entry to be dungeon dives, such simple moments do cut a nice break in between.
This book in the series shows Mukohda settling in his new home. His interactions with his slaves are always nice, and even that are also a nice read. It all showed Mukohda forming stronger relationships with everyone and I personally liked them.
Also, the bonus stories! I love them, especially the perspectives of the slaves. Those showed how they view Mukohda and I'm always happy to read about other people's impression of him.
I'm quite curious how a connection to noble would affect Mukohda from here on out but I'm up for the ride! I'm really looking forward to reading more of his adventures.
Creo que voy demasiado rápido, pero es fin de semana y me gusto mucho esta historia. Incluso salí a comprar cosas para hacer mi primer curri y quedó delicioso. Ya quiero hacerlo otra vez
El cocinero esta vez compra una casa… y también a todo el personal para cuidarla. Ver tantos personajes nuevos me alegro, aunque las bestias mágicas no participaron tanto en este tomo. Extrañe un poco más a Sui.
I just can’t get enough of Mokouda and his adventures. I love how he’s always thinking of others. He seems so be happy cooking for others and making them try new dishes. I wonder when he will have time to fight. He’s an S rank adventure with no actual experience in fighting.
damn does mukohda's online store procure its produce from monsanto because why do the seeds come equipped with genetic use restriction technology?
mukohda domestication arc continues on full speed ahead, and that is very charming. and and that makes the series' title even more unfitting to the story.
Not a bad look into the town life with Mukoda. I just wish there had been more political intrigue stuff. I was looking forward to a showdown with the Baron and the other company making trouble, but it got swept away within a chapter.
This is the worst volume yet. Mukoda buy slaves to tend to his huge mansion. Again, WHY buy a huge house? that caused to have to get slaves.....that resulted in him having to ask favors from friends....who got him involved with nobility...which caused unnecessary drama. It's like bad decisions one after another with a domino effect of unnecessary drama and results. So, the book turned from an adventure to a political drama. WHY?!?!?!?! Then they top it off with a ridiculous baldness product. He can't barely handle Lamberts store requests, and he adds more unnecessary work? This volume should have been called "Nobles BS and Home Ed with Mukoda!" He still acting like a doormat and keeps calling two of his slaves idiots when he was the one who bought them, so who the real idiot is? I understand there is nobility, but he has NO need to mingle with them. He is so powerful and has so much cash that he can decide to send them all to hell. Then he is constantly brown-nosing others but treats Fel like crap, when his Familiar are the ONLY reason he has a great easy life. I love it when Fel says, "How dare a human like you order I, a Fenrir?" I really hate Mukoda's behavior. He is stupid and immature, and he respects other losers instead of the beings who allow him to have a good life. Also, the king had given him freedom, but he was kissing nobles asses for no reason. WHY!?!?!?!?! This book can actually be skipped. It offers NO value to the story, I only enjoyed like a 5 percent of the whole volume. If the next one is a letdown, I'm quitting the series. Onto my next adventure, Happy Readings!!!
