If you enjoy stoner comedies and escapism then this books for you. I have created a Spotify playlist that I was listening to when I wrote these novellas. Each song is the title of the chapter and is the musical theme for that chapter.
I originally intended for you the reader to imbibe some marijuana, start the playlist, and jump into my world. If you don’t smoke that is fine, if you can’t read and listen to music that is fine too. Just read the way you normally do and enjoy the story
But, if you like to smoke some herb and jam out to tunes while you are reading a great book, then I think you will love Eyrth Online. You will need a Spotify account to access the play list, if you don’t have one you will have to gather the songs on your own. Sorry about that.

Chef is the first book in the From Chef To Crafter To Conqueror series by Gabriel Rathweg.
I'm deeply upset that I can't continue this journey immediately. I'll have to wait for the next addition to this series. It has been such a remarkably engaging read, in all honesty. I've enjoyed the comingling of Sci-Fi and historical drama that has played out within these pages.
While I've understood very little of the vernacular relating to the samurai armor, and their amazing weaponsmiths, I'm enjoyed discovering them and their meanings. Following along as MC tackles surviving and escape pod crashing through atmosphere, landing on a parallel earth, and facing the time dilation of him landing in the distant past all while suffering through the loss of those dead to him. That he has a rapidly humanizing AI to keep him company, and informed, is simply an asset to this adventure.
I most vehemently enjoyed the transitions between following Dan Po, Marco, Masamune; and deciphering MC's current circumstances. Tacking it all together with the background noise of the Mongolian conquest and the presense of true Oni's creates a beyond enjoyable experience as a whole.

Poor reviews are wrong
First, what I didn't like. It was too short. The main character's story was less than a week long. Everything that took place over a long period of time happened far away from the main setting of the story.
Second, people who left bad reviews either weren't paying attention to the story or came to it with preconceived notions. The title literally tells the authors' plans for this story. He'll be a chef in the first book. Then he'll be a crafter in the second book. And finally, a conqueror in the third book. So of course there was no time for him to introduce a bunch of new technologies in this first book. As I said, it was too short. Plus it wasn't in the authors' plans.
Last, I almost didn't read it. I read a different series by the author which I finally quit because it was all over the place. I thought this book would also be LitRPG but it isn't. However, this genre is also something that I enjoy. So far I have enjoyed the main character's portion of the story. The Marco Polo bit didn't do anything for me. It's too soon to say where the rest of it will go, but hopefully he won't repeat the mistakes of his other series.

Marvelous book. A character undoubtedly inspired by Steven Segal's Chief Casey travels to the far past in an alternate timeline. There is now doubt the author knows his oriental cooking. Well developed character and sidekick. I don't normally like a major secondary plot line taking attention from the main character but in this case it works. Will the historical "Kamikaze or divine wind" repeat in this history or will the Chief Chef thwart the Mongol invasion of Japan(Nippon) on his own.
Or will neither occur. The fate to the known world hangs in the balance I can't wait for the next volume to find out. I read 150+ books per year and this one is tied for best new author/series in the last 12 months.

Book one
Don't worry folks the cook will save the day!
While the author may have a sound grasp about cooking that seems to be all he knows.
He has little to no knowledge about space and the way it works, the military and the way that works, and I can't say if his knowledge about ancient Japan is correct, but I'm guessing Wikipedia got a lot of use.
I dropped this book purely on the lack of military and space knowledge.
I also found that the MC having the so called love of his life serving on the same ship to be ridiculous.
His not knowing were he was, you are fighting in the solar system, when he landed on a habitable planet to just be silly.
Others may enjoy this book but I'm going to go find something that makes sense and can hold my interest.

Good story!!
The cooking scenes were pretty interesting, the action parts were much the same as other stories but were well done. I felt like I was there in the middle of it, smelling babboon fur and swinging something. Please, where is Crafter? Good main characters, the princess, the chef (great character!), the blind guy and of course, the biggest bad guy the Mongol army. Dumb joke...where do the Mongols keep their armys? In their sleeves.

This has several issues.
The current cultural references add nothing to the story and only serve to break your immersion. They are too much, and very poorly timed. The sections with Marco Polo are dry and boring. They are far to drawn out without adding any substance to the story. The main character has no major flaws, but can best be described as bland.

Pretty good
Pretty good story, pace is a bit slow, not really any litrpg elements, basically future earth guy ends up in feudal Japan, and plans to modernize, by the time the book ends plans are being made, but nothing's actually been done yet, interested to see where it all goes.

Great read!
Always like to read about main characters from different cultures and histories because the views and mindset can be different, but similar to our own. I got kind of confused with the back and forth with the two storylines...
Thank goodness, you didn't throw in gratuitous sex in the storyline!!!
Can't wait for the next book!

Entertaining Read
Ryo Survives the crash of his escape pod, however where has he landed? Ryo is a chef however, he is also trained as a warrior. He must use skills from both vocations to survive. I like the action, humor, parallel world history, and relationship building. I look forward to the next book.

Good multi worlds story
The tale started as more than a few have, advanced starfarer ship wrecked on a less advance world. By moving the tale to medieval Japan, throwing in the mongols, and making our star man a chef, well a whole new ball game. Is there a rule that the AI has to be snarky?

a fun view of history
This has the makings of a terrific epic. Thrown back to 1278, Ryo seeks to hold off The coming mongol invasion.
To that mix. Add Neanderthals and Marco Polo. And the heiress to the Song empire.
Let’s go!

Interesting orient based alternate history
Basic premise is a future military man goes back in time to the era of the Chinese attempt to conquer Japan.

Beginning of a great story
I enjoyed this first book in the series. The adventures seem realistic backed by the technology.
The text needs some editing, but mistakes were tolerable
I’m looking forward to reading the next installment.

Good start to a series
The book was a good read. I especially liked the main character. His sections of the book were by far the most entertaining. I also liked his interactions with Allen. They were fun to read and sometimes even funny. The parts of the story involving the background between Masume and Dan Possible, I felt carried on too long and slowed down the pace of the story. I did like the cooking scenes because it goes well with the Chef title for this Part One. The book leaves an interesting cliffhanger that I interested reading more about. I also liked that scene with the blacksmith, and how it introduced Part Two.
A good start to the series, Keep up the good work!

I love reading Alt History
This type of books along with "The Ring of Fire" series or "1632" series I love the development plots more so then the actual battle scenes, because it stimulates my imagination on what the protagonist will do can do and all the possibilities, in introducing technology, food, new ways of thinking.

February 17, 2022
I read 3/4 of the book before I decided that there was no point to keep on reading. The prose is uninspiring, perhaps at (junior) high school level. The story is badly edited and lacks flow. The cliffhangers that the author attempts falls flat and just makes you want to stop reading. The story is internally inconsistent and, from within its own premise, unrealistic.

Use of Modern Language
I thought this author was on to something!
But then he has his twelfth century Jap characters saying "okay"! It's not a slip they say it all the time!
To me, this is just sloppy writing & disrespectful of the readership.
Won't be reading anymore of this authors poor work.

Chef (From Chef to Crafter to Conqueror #1) by Gabriel Rathweg
📖 Overview
🧠 What Makes It Stand Out
⚖️ Where It Stumbles
🎭 Core Themes
📊 Genre Comparison
🔥 Final Verdict
⭐⭐⭐⚝⚝ (3 / 5)
What if the path to conquest didn’t begin with a sword… but with a skillet?
In a genre crowded with reincarnated warriors and stat-obsessed dungeon delvers, Chef dares to center its power fantasy around craft. Not flashy spellcasting. Not legendary bloodlines. Craft. Gabriel Rathweg launches this progression series with a surprisingly disciplined premise: mastery of the mundane can become the foundation of dominance.
And it works.
📖 Overview
The protagonist begins not as a chosen hero but as a professional defined by culinary expertise. When thrust into a new world structured by progression mechanics, he doesn’t abandon his identity—he weaponizes it.
Instead of immediately chasing combat power, he focuses on food production, resource optimization, and incremental crafting advantages. In a world where sustenance equals stamina and morale, the kitchen becomes a battlefield.
The transformation from Chef to Crafter begins here, laying the groundwork for eventual conquest.
🧠 What Makes It Stand Out
1. Craft-Based Progression
The advancement feels tangible. Recipes become buffs. Ingredients become assets. Efficiency becomes strategy. Rathweg leans into systems without drowning the narrative in stat tables.
2. Economic Intelligence
Rather than brute-forcing power growth, the protagonist leverages supply chains, scarcity, and trade advantages. The climb feels entrepreneurial rather than explosive.
3. Gradual Power Scaling
The book avoids the early overpowered trap. The protagonist gains influence through preparation and planning, not sudden divine upgrades.
⚖️ Where It Stumbles
1. Early Pacing
The first third invests heavily in setup and system explanation. Readers craving immediate combat may find the buildup deliberate.
2. Familiar Framework
While the culinary angle is refreshing, the broader structure follows recognizable progression beats—resource acquisition, incremental advantage, localized dominance.
3. Supporting Cast Development
Secondary characters occasionally feel functional rather than deeply textured. They serve the progression arc more than they complicate it.
🎭 Core Themes
Mastery Over Impulse: Skill refinement triumphs over reckless aggression.
Utility as Power: Influence grows through usefulness.
Identity Persistence: The protagonist doesn’t discard his past expertise—he elevates it.
📊 Genre Comparison
Compared to combat-heavy LitRPG titles, Chef feels grounded and strategic. Where many progression fantasies equate power with violence, Rathweg explores infrastructure as leverage.
It sits comfortably beside other craft-focused progression stories but distinguishes itself through culinary specificity and economic awareness.
🔥 Final Verdict
Chef is patient, methodical, and unexpectedly satisfying.
It proves that conquest doesn’t always begin on the battlefield. Sometimes it starts in the kitchen—with preparation, precision, and the quiet confidence of someone who understands that power is built, not seized.
This isn’t just the story of a man leveling up.
It’s the story of a profession becoming a weapon.
