The Collector in Toriko

Author, let me do the math for you. If you type one word per second, that's 3600 words per hour. In a 24-hour day, if you sleep six hours, eat for an hour, have a generous hour for washing up, and another hour for brainstorming, you're left with 15 hours. That's 54,000 words. At 2000 words per chapter, that's roughly 27 chapters. But you've only updated one chapter. What does that mean?

While it's nice that the protagonist experiments step-by step to make the Mugen Soup, this is a gourmet world! With the protagonist's high culinary skills, they should theoretically be able to hear the sounds of the ingredients, but this isn't shown at all. In the world of anime, irrationality is key.

I watched some Bilibili commentary on Toriko, and they said that in the culinary world, levels start at several thousand. I thought the later stages of Naruto were already ridiculous enough, but I didn't expect there to be even more absurd stuff. 😰

I don't have any other requirements.

The Land of Clouds arc was giving me a real headache; I even started swearing. In Toriko, everything is about eating, whether it's demons or gods. There's this fear, this Buddha in the palm of your hand, and this lack of appetite—is this the ultimate Frankenstein's monster?

On the surface, it's a story about a captive of gourmet food, but it's actually a charlatan pretending to be weak while secretly plotting against you; he's practically half a pig already.

The beginning was quite good, but the introduction of various anime characters (especially heavily modified versions) in the Cloud Kingdom later on became jarring. 🤔

Rather than a Toriko fanfiction, it's more like a fantasy story with fantasy characters and a fantasy setting; all the plot and characters have a fantasy/urban theme.

I've read over ten chapters and still don't know which faction or location the protagonist is in. It says he's in the Ice Hell, but the original story describes a place with hardly anyone there. It seems like the protagonist is a prisoner, like he was captured by the Gourmet Guild to be used as labor. It's all so confusing. I'm outta here.

I was tricked into coming here to kill. The beginning was well-written, and the food was quite good. But then it started using the same old cultivation tropes from ten years ago, with severely inconsistent power levels. It even incorporated elements from cultivation novels like "Buddha in the Palm of Your Hand," which was disgusting.
