He doesn't have to pay the inn's fee while he's away... Because he won't be coming back. He is not the first material hunter who got sent into that forest by the general store owner, yet none of the others ever came back. In reality the friendliness of those villagers is all just a facade. They worship the dragon who lives in the Ancient Dragon Forest as their god, and offer up the unsuspecting travellers who visit the village to it as sacrifices.
...
Not really, I just made that up. But it could be like that.

Man, if only there were an English equivalent for Okami-san which means owner of an inn or tavern, maybe innkeeper or tavern keeper :finnawoke:

Y'all find fault with some silly things in fiction sometimes. You're reading a story about a dude who was arbitrarily popped into another universe with super powers, but the new world's star looking more like a gas giant with a ring is what strains your suspension of disbelief. Lightsabers are complete nonsense too but everyone still loves a good lightsaber duel on the big screen. Feel free to pick at the subpar writing and general boring tone this has, by all means, but seriously? The sun in some fantasy world is fantastical in some way, stop the presses.
The sun is the most original thing. Figuring out how powers and the world works has been done before. Not terrible. Kinda necessary.

It's the "just like my video games" yet he's shocked or appalled when something is not modern or is owned only by the rich or nobles. You can't have a character claim they're a gamer that plays games like this and have them be clueless. And the food being delicious is the most absurd thing.

I'm dropping this if we get passed the info dump and it's still like this. I didn't even read a page of this chapter. I looked at the art and already knew what was going on. My only hope for this is no harem tag.

Holy shit, this is wish fulfillment for japanese corporate slaves of the highest degree.

I mean, shit. He's popped into a new world, his biggest concern is 1: baths 2: food. He also has all the power in the world and can easily earn however much money he desires, but he seems to be concerned about it somehow.

Well, I knew I would get stuff like this, it's the usual drill with these things. What really bothers me is the author's writing style. The excessive focus on food and details about how it's so tasty, why it's so tasty and explaining crap that never mattered and never will and for sure isn't interesting for anyone but people who hate their real life to the extent that their biggest desire is to go to another world and live a quiet life where somehow you don't lose any important modern day convenience.

That the food would be so tasty in a mere nowhere village just makes me doubt what the hell the author is taking while writing this. Also, look at that portion. You think a village like that can produce enough to generously give such amounts of food and pretty much for free at that? That was pretty much a generous helping of one or two DAYS worth of food. Also, aren't they just a little bit too kind and happy-go-lucky? I mean, I like happy and peaceful settings but they're treating him like their son/grandson. Also, spices shouldn't be such an easily accessible commodity that you can lavishly use however much you want.

I don't like to nitpick about unimportant things like this, but small things build up and starts irking me. It's just too much blatant wish fulfillment, everything is going so damn easy and everyone is so nice, everything is available and there's no problems or worries at all. He gets ridiculous powers for no reason and he acts like a moron with no priorities. To me, it's reads as if a young teenager turned his deepest fantasy into a manga. Haah... Not many chapters out anyway, might as well power through them, perhaps the author will tire of bullshit unnecessary text after a while.
All of this
