So, I read this over a few days. It isn't a manhwa expecting you to take it seriously. It is, at heart, a cozy + food manhwa. You're supposed to get comfy and enjoy the chill vibes as Mr. Main Character is kinda sorta effortlessly GREAT at everything he tries.
Combat? He never fought before but is just casually better than most people.
More to the point: Cooking? As chapter 1 points out: he lost his sense of taste and smell. He was devastated due to this fact so he quit his dreams IRL as he suffered, waiting for himself to recover (the doctors told him he should get them back) -> but in the game, he has his senses again and turns out, he never lost his cooking skills.

As for Noa's complaints (the comment under mine when organized by "newest") -> to be fair, it is explained.
1) He was cooking eggs in the tutorial area. People who were playing the game just barely started and were still getting used to the game, including the idea that they can taste anything in the game.
Also, yes, when he first cooks the egg, he doesn't have salt. Still, he enjoyed it a lot because he spent a long time being unable to taste. Also, see what I said about newbie players.
Very soon, he does get and use salt, as well as other spices and stuff.
2) His "uncommon skills" are either:
- literally the basic skills that he got from getting his "Chef" class
- or he literally grinded for it
I mean, come on:

It is important to note that the manhwa, being of the cozy genre, doesn't really leave Mr. Main Character's perspective. We don't actually know if other players have skills like his unless he sees it. This does actually happen at multiple points though.

And again, being of the cozy genre, the manhwa doesn't go into details on how certain things in the game actually works. It doesn't matter because if you want that, you shouldn't be read manhwa in the first place -> you should be reading NOVELS. Even Overgeared's manhwa skips out on a metric ton of details compared to the novel.

Anyway, if all this sounds like your bag, enjoy it/10

This is just a casual chill cute manga. Not too stressful and any and all problems get resolved super quickly to get back to the cute stuff. Surprisingly, there are actual arc with full plots and stuff, so you don't get bored easily. Other works tend to be "look, cute thing" <- as every chapter with some variety for what the actual "cute thing" is -> but nothing is happening so like... you just shrug and move onto a different manga or skip ahead. To be clear: this is NOT a problem here. It's also not 200+ chapters long either.

What is it anyway?
Honestly? It is exactly as you see on the title: there's a demon king who wants to take over the world because he is evil -> but his daughter is too kind. And cute.

It features a lovely array of characters, mostly "demons" who are defined by "being evil" such as the first page of chapter 2:

Except I've met humans IRL who are far more demonic than this manga's literal demons. Sigh...

If this sounds like your bag, then just read it/10

The whole nonsense of "it's your fault" from wuyue is a pathetic attempt to self-validate his selfish desires. Of course the person who is helping him is willing to say anything to make sure wuyue doesn't change his mind and help the pathetic self-validation to keep going. Bah. What a loser. He was sect leader for so long and Zhou Fan accomplished things that he couldn't in a tiny amount of time. He is just blindly selfish.

How is Garam a good looking guy in this? He's supposed to be a bald older dude with the facial hair that goes around the mouth (so like, a short mustache and beard that connect).

At least, this is how he looked like in my head as I read the novel -> which, dare I say, is far superior to "generic long haired dude" of sorts. :\\

I'd give some spoilers, but not yet.

hmmm, the comedy is kinda ruining the story for me. :\\

There are massive benefits of not having to wait for updates and what you're experiencing is one of them. I was reading this manhwa (as I said, really early on when there was barely any manhwa being made/translated) and waiting for updates since like chapter 3 or something. Those rules on the board game are probably not that bad when you get to read the entire arc in like two hours instead of a freakin' year.

Is this a good moment to mention that the manhwa wasn't getting updated consistently? Like sometimes we'd get a chapter a day but there were times when we'd get a chapter a month or two months would go by with no updates.

Last detail: Uno doesn't have that many rules. lol

I bet an upvote that he's right and it is real!

Soooooooo, I read this. It's actually a lot of fun due to one major detail:

Mr. Main Character experiences regression and uses his knowledge in fun ways to get an edge and change the future.

If I have any complaints, it would be "last dozen chapters are full of flashbacks in a really annoying way." Until then, we'd see a fight, turn around and see the result of another fight happening nearby -> the next chapter shows us the fight we missed -> chapter after that is just moving on. It's less of a "flashback" and more of a "meanwhile." But in the last dozen chapters, one chapter started off with a full fledged flashback -> flashforwards back to current events for a bit -> AND FLASHBACKS BACK AGAIN! BAH!

Sigh, that stumble aside, which is pesky because it is the finale of the manhua, I like this.

What is this anyway? *insert movie voiceover voice* In a world where VR tech has advanced super well, a brand new VRMMORPG is released that allows you to experience a new world where you're super powerful and stuff. The game is unfair but everyone is desperate to play it anyway! Why? Because when you hit level 15 (out of a max of 120), you can awaken your own character's abilities in the real world!

And it starts off pre-regression where Mr. Main Character failed to awaken and then gets bullied by some awakened dudes. The regression detail is kinda explained but due to all the flashbacks making me glaze over and start skipping, I missed the explanation.

The runtime consists of Mr. Main Character using knowledge as power to finesse his way up and up and up and up. The PvE is done after a while and it enters PvP. After the PvP is done, the real plot kicks off with an AI that wants to become human and rule the world, which is already pretty human if you ask me.
There's a comment where someone said "the AI is tired of being used and rebelled" but that's just wrong.

Some "ha ha" funny details are kinda thrown in, like how one character is a top player, runs a top guild -> all to benefit "his successor" who he is actively looking for -> guess who that ends up being. lol
Still, it serves the narrative well enough, I guess.

A real complaint is that at multiple points, Mr. Main Character has a power but never uses it. The biggest one being: "if you are a glorious candidate (or whatever), then you can control NPCs" -> and NPCs go berserk -> and he never uses it. He gets reminded of it part of the way through -> and still never properly uses it. Bleh.

Else, "I think it's pretty good" out of 10. I'm partially giving up on numbers.

I randomly saw this comment in the recent list

I have an answer for you: because common isekai repetitive trash.
I know that you know that this manga will be 100% lewd baiting with a predictable plot for around 100 chapters that barely move the plot anywhere. Then finally, the plot takes one step forward, has a massive ending of sorts and ends while feeling like a waste of time.

Furthermore, developing this into a real manga will take a lot of effort to define so many things that are completely missing. Things such as:
1) characters
2) personality for these characters
3) the lore of the land
4) racism against dragons
Any thoughts on casual plot twist based on the fact that "dragons used to exist on this planet first and elves came afterwards and want to evict the dragons" or is that not obvious enough?
lol elvish colonialism
5) different types of dragons
We just saw big dragons casually get insta-killed.
etc etc
I honestly don't think they can do the first two, which are the most important details, let alone everything else.

tl;dr: It's a oneshot because after a dozen chapters, it will get axed because it's trash.

9 chapters... I remember when we thought "this is going to end soon, huh?"

It's actually going to end now, for real, huh? I'm assuming that every chapter from now until the end is going to have a time skip.

"I am an Evil God"

I was going to make a sassy comment about how Mr. Main Character got that lazy bumpkin of Hope to get off his lazy bum and do some work, but never freakin' mind.

Lemme guess, if the jerk of Hope turns around, you'll be looking at the jerk of Despair?

Oh hey, this is here. *checks* Last read: 9 months ago, around chapter 200 out of the 500+ chapters. I lost interest and just didn't bother continuing, so take my thoughts for what you think they're worth.

At one point, I thought "ah, this is just trying to be Noblesse, sort of." Like it, this starts off slow with a mysterious Mr. Main Character who is apparently really strong. A couple of random kids decide "wait, we wanna be main characters!" and they form a trio.

Unlike Noblesse, the mysterious Mr. Main character here kinda sucks. He isn't very smart nor is he particularly strong. If anything, he is kinda pathetic and really lucky because the author keeps forcing the trio into worse and worse situations. When it comes time for combat, the author has a million asspulls for Mr. Main Character because his power level is unknown -> and what does he do? Nothing. He has him baaaaaaaaarely succeed for some reason. "To keep things interesting" doesn't work when I'm really not interested.

In Noblesse, the first dozen times Mr. Main Character fights, all he does is slowly approach the enemy, says "kneel" and insta-kills them in one hit. How is THAT interesting? Because the author was just that good.
Meanwhile, this author has an idea for the plot and is DEMANDING it happens. Characters are stupid, lose common sense and other useless things -> just to make sure the author is happy.

For me, culminated in "the strongest swordsman in the world" getting casually killed off by random enemy minion #4 simply because "he figured out how his swordsmanship works." Excuse me? How does figuring out how his swordsmanship work equate to killing him? He cuts through space itself! Behind him, in front of him and all around him! Besides that, and this is important: he is physically very capable even without the sword!

Bah.
At the same time, two random chumps get along well with the trio and join them for a bit -> oh look, main baddie introduced. Mr. Main Character proceeds to just stand there. Stand there and do nothing. Nothing at all. Just stand there. Drama happens, chumps die (at least one of them does anyway) and Mr. Main Character gets REALLY MAD and... does nothing. Thanks.

Then the trio split up and a time skip happens. I remember thinking "oh boy, the kid is going to surpass "the strongest swordsman in the word" by the end of this, isn't he?" but I STILL lost interest and didn't pick it up anyway.

So yeah, that garbage out of 10. It's a pass from me.

So, he ate the legs devil, then the teeth devil, and spat them out when she ran him over with the motorcycle.

Then he baited her away from earth and into hell... aaaaaaaaaaaaaand she fell for it, hook line and sinker.

Idiot. At the start of the day and at the end of the day, you're nothing but a human, just like the person you're dismissing. Overall, you're just lucky to be in a position of power and you're constantly desperate to maintain it. You treated him and your guest, an envoy from "THE DRAGON KING" like trash. When you lose your position, not if, how do you want people to treat you? Well, if they learn from you, then they'll treat you like trash.

That fire must be the size of a nuke. Zhou Fan weakened them over the course of 3 days, and Ye Lin got to finish them all off.

In the sequel, Iyarugt is a big deal. Seeing him in today's update is nice.

"He's dead."

Also, this sect was a top sect in the past? Freakin' cowards, every single one of them. Whiney cowards too. This old fart really hit the person he's trying to kill with a "boohoo! Why didn't you let me kill you? You're so mean, refusing to get killed by me!" Would you just give me your neck if I ask for it? Shut up!

awww

Don't tell me you don't feel bad at all!

Note: I don't think she is looking at him in a romantic sense.

If only... I would love for someone to drop the phrase: "only humans have human rights" as we eradicate this disgusting invasive species.
