After transmigrating, the lonely Ize spends his days desperately searching for a way home.
To ease his homesickness, he disguises himself as a chef and recreates the dishes of his homeland.
He'd assumed no one in this other world would care for his cooking. To his surprise, though, the diners here aren't picky at all. Even when they eat his horrifically strange dishes, they can't stop praising them.
They just don't like the original names of the dishes, and are always coming up with weird nicknames instead.
For example: "Chaos Egg," "Living Nightmare," and "Hell's Illustrated Scroll."
But the dish he makes, Nine-Turn Large Intestine, becomes something else entirely to his customers...
This book has no romance plot, only one prominent female character, whom you can consider the sole heroine. PS: Inspired by the Fire Keeper from the Souls series.
Because of the plot and setting, the book contains many twisted, evil creatures, but this isn't Lovecraftian. The creatures are mostly drawn from familiar fantasy tropes.
A disclaimer in advance: the author doesn't know much about Lovecraft, so they won't be venturing into that territory.
No unknowable horrors, no fear of the unknown, and certainly no talk of humanity's insignificance.
