It isn't like anything dangerous comes out of there, or at least nothing will until Laius brings his sword out and it grows and spreads before consuming all sentient life.

Yes, but the important part is how to best prepare all sentient life for consumption.

And with this chapter, Hero BBS comes to an end. I didn't feel the series initially but it grew on me, cute series.

I apologize for derailing the Dungeon Meshi thread, but I found this:   This is all that's translated so far (there's another 20 strips or so untranslated, with new ones coming out every so often), but "people running an inn in a fantasy rpg setting" felt like it fit the thread.

They should feed the dragon some random herb they find around the dungeon. That way it's gonna get baked.

Vaguely reminded me of Bartender, but the customers are all fantasy-setting people and instead of alcohol it's modern Japanese izakaya food.

I'm trying to find a manga where a character selects all the worst traits and skills and somehow manages to make it as a viable adventurer. I think I clicked on a link here or in some other thread, but I totally can't remember the title.

K. Flaps posted:Toaru Ossan no VRMMO Katsudouki I've yet to read an MMO themed comic where the concept of a Utility class isn't some bizarre alien concept to the playerbase. Maybe things have changed but when I was active with runescape and everquest years ago I spent most of my time mining ore and smithing for my guild so we could have armor and cash inflow.

The Dungeon Meshi crew are not very good at dragon fighting are they e: oh yeah, I didn't see it mentioned but I was reading Konjiki no Word Master - Yuusha Yonin ni Makikomareta Unique Cheat up until this latest chapter but I'm done. It wasn't really my thing to start with and I mostly kept reading it because I'd followed it and couldn't be assed to delete it off my list, but it might be something one of y'all would like more than I did.

Well, I think it's sort of reasonable that the food we eat in modern times would shock most ordinary people from earlier eras. We have access to a whole world of ingredients and spices for comparatively dirt cheap. Not to say that these foods didn't exist, just that most people would never have gotten the chance to eat them, because they'd be too expensive. Importing a bunch of different ingredients from potentially different climates and whatnot is hard.

There's an web novel called Otherworld Dining Hall which is basically Izakaya Nobu except the Japanese diner is only available to generic fantasy people on Saturdays (just google it, results will give you a page w/ 15 translated chapters). I think the reason why it works when it's just gratuitous food porn is that there are regular customers who order certain foods that fit their taste and the author always gives backdrops to the fantasy world's own food culture and why certain dishes from the restaurant really strike a chord with them. Also lizard people eating omelet rice. Wankfest, certainly, but I'm not surprised a Japanese author would center it around Japanese specific/stylized dishes. That said, I hope Izakaya Nobu gets a better translation, I don't think it needs to be anything more than what it is already. If you wanna read something more sincere about people eating everyday food (no fantasy though, just good ol' slice of life) then Shinya Shokudou might be more up people's alley.

Compendium posted:There's an web novel called Otherworld Dining Hall which is basically Izakaya Nobu except the Japanese diner is only available to generic fantasy people on Saturdays (just google it, results will give you a page w/ 15 translated chapters). The mercenary cook one takes place in a world where there is no food culture. There are all these spices and ingredients available but no one in the history of that world ever did anything with them. That's really more of a comedy, of course. Though really, palates vary a lot and any place that adopts foreign cuisine changes it to suit the local tastes. But then you have fantasy world denizens who can't get enough of food specifically tailored for japanese people. Shinya Shokudou is better than all of those dumb ln's put together, though.

Never read Mercenary Cook, so I wouldn't know. Otherworld and Shinya Shokudou are just about up there equally for me though, (although for the latter it's because it's slice of life that focuses on the stories of the people, not just the food (which tends to be cheap/easily/not extravagantly made dishes that have their own charm to them). That said, it helps that the Otherworld Dining Hall's food is mostly Western style dishes (or rather "youshoku") so it's not too much of a stretch for me to imagine otherwordly beings taking a liking to them. Japanese people really like food and really love their own food and I can't find that kind of niche (or I'm not looking hard enough) where fictional people really loving love their booze and chow in Western media outside of certain movies or just straight up cooking shows from Youtube and television.

What would be a better story would be that eager knight following the chef or the assistant into the modern world and going in-depth on a food journey. A medieval palate trying WcDonald's could be fun. Then again, that isn't going to be KARAAGE OISHII~~~~~

Gale Raziya posted:That is true, Japan has made an art of going insane over food, whether it is deserved or not. On the other hand, you have the third chapter's character, who is a pale imitation of the antagonist from Ratatouille, going through the same forgotten-childhood beats while losing himself to the taste of Napolitan while referencing bolognese and puttanesca. The former is not going to be better, except if this was to be nothing but back-patting for Japanese/izakaya food. Wait, they are referencing the garbage japanese invention napolitan as though it was italian food?
