I agree the novel might be too long to recreate but changing even the time things happened is too much to me.
Also in the manga it sounds like he "just" came up with the idea of the dish and didn't properly test it like everything he did until now.
Ai Fa is being too soft on these last 2 chapters not being consistent with how it will develop in the next chapters and Asut didn't "fight" with anybody it was more of an argument, as if he could fight any Hunter, it is described several times that he is weaker than a kid of the ppl of the forest...
Skipped:
- Weeding negotiation, price, help etc...
- How he teached the bloodletting
- How the work was divided in the kitchen and how other Ruu related houses also helped to cook it
- How way before the banquet everything was pretty much prepared except for the meat
- How the scene from the Banquet being disturbed was after it had already started not before
This is just what came to mind, there is soo much that was skipped that make it really hard to follow.
