This story also reminds me of Black Tech Internet Cafe System, but with food instead of games.

And just like in Black Tech, the characters don't react appropriately, the impact of the innovations are repetitive, and there's no genuine payoff. (Granted I'm only 31 chapters in)

However, I can't picture some sweeping story arc where the main character goes, "Oh my god. I'm creating a sugar addiction and obesity crisis in the world; I'm giving people high blood pressure and cholesterol!" Or some demon king appears and instead of ravaging the... more>> country, he goes, "I'm suing this m-fcker for giving me type-2 diabetes!"

I think it'll follow the Black Tech model of

• • Look at the shiny thing.

• • See how we enjoy the shiny thing?

• • I'm an upper class individual enjoying the shiny thing!

• • Look at this other shiny thing!

I’m a huge sucker for novels that introduce modern concepts to a medieval world, but I don’t like this novel at all.

It’s too simplistic. MC takes an idea from earth, hires someone else to make it (no details or showing process, just time skip X months), it’s done and now everyone’s praising or hating the product until they try it and now they’re addicted. Now repeat that 5 or 6 times in the 20 chapters I’ve read. MC has no part in making products except for pitching the idea. He... more>> also has no part in selling it either, he just gives it to whoever wants to distribute it. <<less

The concept wears off very fast. Then there's nothing left

No mystery, no suspense, no build up, no challenge. Nothing at all. Just look, food idea, ok here's the idea. Then, somehow, it's made and praises everywhere.

Repeat, repeat, repeat.
