1. It's still not relevant to the point I made. I like Feru...Feru and the food but it's still not relevant to the point I made. Even Feru himself is asking for different dishes all the time...
2. How does this have anything to do with the way you express yourself in your response? There should be no implication of speculation on your part if you're sure. If you aren't sure you shouldn't be giving your input because it's inaccurate. Isn't this fair?
3. There are MANY stories like this and some are actually better written like Dungeon Meshi or Isekai Ryouridou the reason is because they go a little more into detail about the cooking process and give a more firm story telling while still centering around cooking. This manga is like.."OH FERU ARE YOU HUNGRY? LETS EAT!!!". It's nothing more than a quick fix. Surely you don't think a surface scratching manga is the making of a decent writer, do you?
4. It's all in the context in how the information is presented. For instance if McDonald showed their commercial in the US about a new burger it's not advertising their culture but advertising a product. If in Japan they did the same thing, once again it's not culture they're advertising but a product. If in the Heian period of Japan...they all of a sudden spoke of the art of making hamburgers...thats advertising culture and product. See that difference? This happens a lot in japanese manga and anime. It's only in Japanese manga or anime where many writers would go out of their way to introduce or inform you of something japanese
when there was no need.
Now look at it from this perspective, for example some stories are based off of a pseudo european isekai and yet a friggin katana appeared because god knows that it's the best sword under the heavens that the land of the rising sun have refined near perfection but it had to appear in a culture who is supposedly known for longswords and rapiers. This is too obvious. It's an overreach. You're being disingenuous if you're pretending that this don't happen often. It's not just katana it's many other aspects of japanese culture that they try to throw in. I read chinese, korean, and japanese manga and out of all the groups the japanese always tend to throw out some stuff from their culture even when it doesn't make sense too.
5. I'm not making a claim in real life, I'm paraphrasing what the writers tend to write. This is an advertisement and at the least a little chance to educate people of japanese culture.
6. Maybe you were born later but during my childhood google and the internet wasn't really a thing yet. So gathering information was scarce and kind of hard. On the other hand if you were born in the within the days of smartphones you'd think it's weird. So it's not accurate for your to talk about "research" when you might be from a generation that live in an era that literally gives you information. It's like some fuckhead from 300 years in the future saying "why didn't people 300 years ago use gene editing to rid themselves of cancer?" lol
Look at this way. Most people wouldn't know about S. KOREA if it wasn't for Korean music, K-pop. No one gave a fuck about them. How did they gather the attention of the world? It was only later on through youtube. It was around that time where people were more exposed to the culture of S.Korea and thats how they became just as popular as Japan. Thats how most people started watching korean drama. They don't just started watching it out of curiosity...there's a cause and effect and in order to start they needed to be exposed to it in one way or another. There needs to be a medium. Japanese popculture is the same. You're being dishonest if you don't think anime and manga don't play a role at all. It's the most significant role for most of us. Oh I forgot about video games.
7. Well it's within you rights to do what you want to do. Even if you said you didn't read it I already know you did and you think it's irrelevant. lol
8. You do realize that the story mostly focus on killing monsters and using their mats as ingredients
to make pseudo dishes known to the MC's world right? It's all about the dishes bro. Why the hell would Feru-sama even give a fuck about the MC if it wasn't for the food?
Another man's trash is another man's treasure. You aren't the arbiter for how an individual sees value in something. "In a world where the triggered tells other not to be triggered" haha
