Description

Some recipes are to die for...

...so Clive discovers on a night to remember.From hopeful new restaurant owner, to desperately fleeing demons and all manner of creatures. To survive, he’s going to need some serious help from friends, both old and new as he is portaled into a deeply troubled world full of magic and prejudice.

There is greatness, there is wonder, yet there is shame and despair in equal measure.

Despite attempts to be virtuous, more often than not it is anger, fear and lust that drive our all too human protagonists.

They are weak in a world full of strength and all they have is their determ… belligerence to stay alive.

While power will come, it will not always come easy.

Welcome, to the God of the Feast.

    This is a fun read. I enjoy reading about all the characters and the world is developed and makes sense. It's one of those serials where you can't wait for the next chapter to come out.  I think this is one of the better stories on Royalroad. I'm surprised more people haven't picked this up. I hope this series continues for a while and I have downloaded the kindle version that just came out.  Keep up the great job author!

    This is a gripping story with some inconsistencies in detail and grammar they make it clear no one is editing this before it comes out. That said, if you can look past the issues it’s a fantastic yarn. The audiobook is great!
    The main character is absolutely flawed and satisfyingly OP, if you’re into that. The entire story seems like it was plotted out ahead of time, and there’s an ending in sight.
    My only issues are that it’s somewhat hard to read due to plot holes, grammatical errors and stray quotation marks/lack thereof. I hope the author invests in a good copy editor or grammarly before getting to the next story. That said, I will read it or listen on audiobook because I’m invested in hearing more about this world!
    Regarding plot holes, the author introduces a character with lots of foreboding and we never hear of him again, sometimes stat point math seems off, certain parts of the magic system are frustratingly vague (is neutral neuma something anyone can use or is it a combination of all neumas?) and some characters are old enough to remember historical events that are later described as preceding their lifespan.
    In summary, this is a great premise and an entertaining read that needs a full editing in order to be truly epic. It has the potential to be as good as the best of them, but some gaps and inconsistency in details bumps it down a few notches. Still a fantastic read I recommend for anyone who can be forgiving.

    Pretty wild ride.
    People from our moder sensibities thrown into a MASSIVELY different setting. If you thought you knew violent culture shock, you are probably right.
    But since in that case you are probably in a cell in some Asian country, you cannot disprove so this is the safest alternative!!!
    Give it a try!!

    Honestly, I came to this novel like I do on any other novel on this site with a big grain of salt. And I can tell you I ate that piece of salt and I'm sitting here for the rest of this novel. Because this novel is just a chef kiss of everything I didn't even know I wanted!
    If your looking for a good read then you Definitely found the right place, and his upload speed is pretty good as well so that's a big plus as well heh.

    I've been reading since volume one and become very fond of Clive, who with his rough edges and flaws is a big step above the standard issue LitRPG protagonist.
    You know what else this series has, a plan. No writing for patreon here. I'll miss Clive when he is gone but I'm glad we won't suffer through needless padding.

    As a previous reviewer said, this novel quickly becomes the highlight of the day when it is updated. This is due in equal parts to writing style, and the way the characters and story is developed.
    Story
    The story seems well planned out. Perceived danger to the main character & Co progresses nicely with character/faction power growth, while the author lays the groundwork in foreshadowing future threats and increases in power.
    The skill/power development of the main character is sufficiently new and inventive to be interesting, while still giving you the feeling that the author knows where further progress i headed.
    The author does a good jobb of keeping the reader aware of the big-picture plot developments and threats while still keeping most of the focus on more current affairs. You wont open a new chapter on Wednesday and be greeted with a "meanwhile elsewhere" chapter in stead of the continuation from Tuesday that you were looking forward to.
    Character
    The story's characters are in my opinion all well written. Each character is unique and consistent in their personality, while still showing growth. So far in the story several characters have shifted from antagonists to allies and vice versa, and this has been done very well. Characters shift in organic ways as oposed to having sudden changes of heart when the story calls for it. Another sign of a well planned novel.
    Style
    The story is very character-focused. Big things are happening everywhere at all times, but the reader learns most things through character interactions instead of naration, flashbacks, "meanwhile-elsewhere's" etc. which does a lot to keep the story flowing without the reader being joltet from one scene to the next.
    Grammar
    One comment and one comment only:
    Proofreading for open (and double-closed) quotation marks please!
    Otherwise spotless as far as i can tell.
    Summary
    Some stories need to sit in storage for a while so we can binge read a larger number of chapters. For myself this is so I can get

    Great story and a different perspective and world-building approach than I have seen before. I am American and a fantasy from a UK perspective is refreshing. I find myself wanting to guess what's happening next and am often surprised in all good ways. The main Clive is a bit of a whiner sometimes but I think part of it is trying to convey the thought process in the moment. I don't feel like all of the worlds have had the same attention yet but that is part of having such a big universe to work with.
    I like to god of the feast angle and his motivations are genuine. I hope to see him grow and world-building happen without so much BIG bad guy pressure. I want to know what's happening on each planet and see Clive have an impact on more of the people directly. I like how he interacted with the people and governments on Earth for example.
    Give this story a chance it goes deep into what it would be like to be plucked from your world and dropped into another larger universe but it is not just a typical story he fights monsters falls in love and gets stronger all along to fight Gods that all turn out to be puppets. He builds alliances and defeats foes.

    I followed Kevin from condition evolution to here - his writing always makes me laugh. I'd absolutely give this one a read and see if you like it.
    The best thing about this writing in my opinion is the humor, there's just something about it that kills me.
    I hope you keep the series going for a long while

    Pack of alcoholic football hooligans gets isekaied.  It's surprisingly entertaining.
    The main characters are well realized and engaging.  They're also often hungover when they are not drunk, which works out for them about as well as you would expect.  They are clearly people, with both strengths and flaws.  This is the strongest adjective of the writing, and it is very well done.
    Grammar is solid - I didn't notice any typos or awkward constrictions in the first 66 chapters.  Style is clear and concise and never distracts from the story.
    Now for the bad: the leveling system is horrifically unbalanced to the point that it detracts from everything else. It takes the main character a few weeks to become equal or superior to tribal warriors who have spent their entire lives fighting and killing, and yet no one else is using the same method he did despite the fact that it is one of 12 or so options in the status screen everyone has available.
    The book also leans heavily into racial essentialism - demons are conniving, dwarves are gruff, followers of God A are arrogant and judgmental, etc.  This doesn't bother everybody, but it bothers me, and it is especially noticeable when compared to the more the dimensional characters.

    I read the first book via KU. It was pretty good. The second book was where I dropped the series. If you like your main characters dumb, doing dumb things for dumb reasons, this is for you. If you like side characters doing worse things and nearly ruining everything with zero repercussions and no lessons learned, this series is for you.
    Overall it is a disappointment. This could have been an amazing series, but it will sadly just be mediocre.
