More lackluster story, far too invested to quit.

[Hugo Roque · Rating 2 out of 5]

I loved all the previous books, but this one was a drag. I enjoyed the idea of focusing on Naofumi cooking skills, but the plot just felt a lot off, 2/3 of the book feels like is going nowhere, and the way the "cooking quest" was tied to the main plot is extremely convenient.
PS.: The last chapters are good, though.

Moving along

This was a more slice of life type installment, but it still moved the story forward. I love learning things with the characters that's don't come from expo-dumpa, and this series does a good job of avoiding that for the most part. Naofumi has a habit of bringing people over to his side, even if he isn't trying to and we get more of that this go round. I love seeing the different types of people he attracts and his interactions with others is always gold.

With this Volume, we get to learn a bit more about the Waves and those behind it. I'm looking forward to seeing where this goes next.

Okay. This one is pretty stupid. The whole cooking contest thing is way out of place, and kind of comes out of nowhere. For me, it was just a really dumb side story with pretensions of being part of the Vanguard of the Waves storyline. The fight at the end of the book even feels pretty generic. Yeah, calling the villain "Enemy of the Week", while mildly amusing, is basically the author admitting how generic and kind of tacked onto the end of the story for a cheap action climax this guy is.

Web novel fantastic where light novel unreadable

I loved the web novel and it was 5 stars plus. The published light novels are starting to be going so far away from the web novel in spirit that I am having trouble reading them. At first I wanted to support the author so I looked pass the multitude of changes, but now it's unreadable.

Excellent

As always the author keep a good history and pace. Each book goes for a bigger plot that connects the first book to this one! It's just incredible

[Ivan Labombarbe · Rating 5 out of 5]

This is the most unique offering so far. going to different worlds with different rules makes the writing fresh as everything needs to be adapted. A great author.

Я хочу быстро вышло

[Zarathustra Goertzel · Rating 4 out of 5]

Quite a fun borderline slice of life story that goes crazy on cooking and overfeeding before introducing a cute new dragon seductress ;- )
