They skipped some pretty important stuff that should have happened before the cooking competition: one that inspired what MC makes and one that helps him technique-wise. I really don't see how this is going to work, unless they stick in some flashbacks while he's cooking or something...
Novel link please and what chapter is that?
I've been reading it mtl, but:
https://booktoki350.com/novel/2965002?book=%EC%9D%BC%EB%B0%98%EC%86%8C%EC%84%A4
Checking for the chapters, I realized they actually skipped 3 important parts. Anyway, 65 starts the whole sequence of events and the cooking competition starts in 78.
Thanks
Why'd they cut nearly all of his fight against the soldiers in ch36? It was so cool in the novel!
About the two untranslated bits of dialogue in ch8:
グレンほどでわないけど = not as many as Glen, though
俺の方がランク上なのに... = even though I'm a higher rank...
Checked out the raws, so here's some spoilers.
Only 4 years have passed in the other world, vs 15 on earth. ML actually didn't know MC had been killed (I guess getting transported back to earth removed all traces? idk) and assumed he'd just fled. He's apparently been searching for MC this whole time.
MC suspected ML might have been the one who killed him, but nope. ML IS pretty sus, though. He recognizes MC right off the bat and closes the distance between them insanely fast (forcing lots of kisses on him, hugging/holding onto him all the time, a random masturbation session in a closed-off library room with the typical "don't worry, I won't put it in yet but you're just so cute it's hard not to lose control" yaoi line). ML apparently liked MC even back when MC was 13??? There's this dream/flashback where young MC was getting his hair dried just out of the bath (so, nearly naked) and present MC notices that ML was looking at him like a predator with prey... so, um, yeah...
Omg yes I flipped through the raws before going to work this part was really disturbing I thought I wasn't fully awake
Where did you find the raws?
Thing is, we don’t even know how old ml is?
Here copy paste the name in japanese : https://jmanga.org/
Jally looks at the image in question, there is really something wrong
Yeah I see it now omg
I found the novel incase someone wants it
https://novel18.syosetu.com/n1269ht/
I'm fluent but gimme a while to read all of this later bc I'm still at work lol.
Although I did find the age part.
So uh...15 years passed for MC
from 13->28.
But in the other world, 4 years passed.
ML said he was 28, 4 years ago. He's 32 currently.
During the conversation, MC was like (adlib) , "Hold tf up Griz, the legal age in this world is 18. If I hadn't told you I was 28, then last night..you slept with a 17 year old (minor)".
To which Griz replied "Well, you're actually 28, so it's all good? Besides I couldn't exactly lay my hands on a 13 year old. Also, it wasn't last night, it was 2 nights ago."
(...but apparently 17 is fine )
..... Aaaand take that how you will. Lmao.
They might change it for the comics tho, bc usually web novels undergo a LOT of editing before publication.
Personally I don't really care as long as they're both adults now, but this is def ick territory lol.
naurr thats crazy
Naah not only does the guy not give a damn about 17 year olds but he is also PROUD OF HIMSELF to have waited when he was 13 wtf
ok I'm skimming the manga.
Just to clarify, in the OP's comment. The MC is dreaming of the past. It's not really a romantic context. Since it's a dream, it's not necessarily the past in accuracy, but it's the first time he is viewing his dream like this in third person perspective. Towards the end of the dream, he was saying that Griz looked like he had the eyes of a predator not in a romantic sense, but in a scary sense. It's the first time he ever saw him with that kind of scary expression. Since the last person he talked to before he was killed was Griz , he wondered if Griz hated him. Then he shook his head and said nevermind, there's no sense in dwelling in the past since that life has already died.
