I started reading this thinking it was gonna be a chill ‘cook monsters, eat, repeat’ vibe. NAW. Turns out it’s ‘hey, let’s bond over stew while surviving literal dungeon trauma.’
The world-building? I’m lowkey convinced Ryoko Kui has lived in a dungeon and turned it into a narrated journal. Every meal looks so legit, you forget these dudes are literally inches away from death.
Please buy the books. This author deserves the support. On my knees in prayer to manifest a sequel/spin-off.
