All chapters come in pairs (or more).

- The second chapter (and sometimes third ore more) is from that other party's point of view. Meaning the author always re-hash the same thing at least twice. And that re hash is always the other party swooning over the MCs awesomeness in a very cheesy way.
This is an interesting story telling mechanic when it is used sparsely. But when it is constantly used, I find that it makes the story telling very rigid and predictable. There are things you can't do if the story has to be contained in one chapter, since the next chapter will rehash what just happened. It also makes reading tedious. You also always know, if the MC speaks to one character, the next chapter will be that character's POV. 2. Everything is too easy and cheesy. There is no tension, no suspens, any small conflict is resolved very fast. As another reviewer said, the author makes an extra effort to bend the world around the MC so that everything goes well for him. You will see girls basically fall in love in their n=first notable interaction in the novel, the MC will of course misunderstand that girl's reaction as coldness, indifference and so on, just for good measure. This is purely a slice of life novel, but this in itself isn't a bad thing, I actually love those LNs and probably more than half my reading list is made up of those. But the tediousness of the format chosen by the author, the cheesiness of the interactions and the overall low enjoyability of the story of the novel spoils all of that. Many people give this novel 5 stars. I frankly do not understand and can only deduce that it is probably just a light novel that can't be enjoyed by everyone.The MC suddenly finds himself in another world, tied by a rope, with soldiers contemplating on whether or not to kill him. He doesn't panic, he laughs instead and asks if he could cook since he's hungry. Now. That's kinda weird isn't it? Though his response could be attributed to not realizing that the current situation was not a dream. But the author doesn't really tell us that he hasn't accepted his situation, rather he seems to immediately transition with ease. That's unrealistic point number 1.
The leader of the mercenary corp let's this stranger who wears clothes from unknown origins and appeared suddenly from unknown origins, cook their food and is the first to taste it, not afraid that it might be poisoned. His vast amount of experience let's him able to judge a person just based on appearance, after all. After tasting the stew once, his stomach gets stolen and immediately recruits him without asking anymore questions about his past and puts his trust fully into the mysterious young man. Unrealistic point number 2.
