Really author? The MC 'invented' bone broth for this world?

I know that Japanese authors tend to make things up to make the Japanese look smarter, more civilised and ingenious than the average medieval/renaissance isekai Westerner and the bearers of technologies that Westerners could only dream of (even if they are the creators of that ‘advanced’ technology most of the time IRL), but a fucking wet towel, bone broth and edible seaweed? Are you fucking kidding me?

I don't give a fuck about cute girls! I want to see him summon a fucking dreadnought, or maybe even an aircraft carrier, and become the ruler of the seas! I'll even settle for a corvette! Please tell me he'll pioneer a golden age of piracy. Something, anything! This is so fucking boring!

Yeah... every peasant and his dog should already know how to make something like this. Medieval people could squeeze out something edible from almost nothing.

Did he invent it? Or did he just introduce an idea that a bunch of adventurers had never thought of because the only thing they eat when they travel is salt pork and hardtack? The only reason we here know this is because we're all a bunch of nerds; the average salaryman or career woman who grew up in a modern city is considered a skilled cook if they heat soup on the stove instead of in the microwave.

Dried seaweed is a little bit less believable, but we mustn't forget that it wasn't at all that long ago that lobster, now one of the most expensive foods you can buy, was considered fit only for prisoners. The Romans, from the Kingdom to the Republic and all the way through the Empire, considered barley as unfit for anything other than animal fodder (it was sometimes given to soldiers in place of wheat, but only ever as a punishment).

Yes, but we're not talking about a salaryman in a modern big city, we're talking about a person in a middle age fantasy setting and in the middle ages you really needed to know how to cook even the most basic form of food to survive famines.

Years ago I read a phrase, I don't remember if it was from an editor or a mangaka, but it was: You can tell if an author is an idiot or intelligent by the way they portray intelligence. In this case you can tell that the author is a fucking moron.

Na; just uninformed and too lazy to change that.

For all that it's worth, anyways; I made it a couple more chapters and then had enough.
