I started reading this with high expectations. I was certain that there was some secret worth revealing. I figured it was something at the level of a conspiracy, or a dark secret, a hidden past, secret identity- something! After all there was so much hype and the plot was based around MC learning the truth. For a while I thought, “He must be the reincarnation of the hero!” That would have been exciting.
But what? Oh yeah, your great grandpa was the hero. You have no duties to fulfill. No obligations. You’re just one of many descendants. Why did we hide it? Oh all that excessive secrecy and such was just cause I didn’t want you to feel burdened.
(Me here trying to understand why mc would feel burdened by the past of a far removed relative that most living people don’t remember personally? Like was that really something to build all this hype over? It’s not like there aren’t other descendants anyway)
So, yeah. Not a reincarnation, not a chosen one, not even special really- just the hero’s great grandson who decided to be a chef after being summoned to another world. (Which honestly would have been a better plot if that had been the point from the beginning)
I feel like author tried (and failed) to write fantasy-adventure crossed with slice of life, then gave up during the last chapter and said, “yeah, I couldn’t actually come up with a good ending for the adventure part” and here we are!
