1) The reason I started it 2) Since when I knew it existed 3) Since when I was interested OK, let's do these together! I had read first volume in 2017, it was a selection of the manga club that I had never heard about before. I found it alright, but not exceptional, and found the writing of the only female character frustrating. It didn't buy the next ones. (I must add I have spent years on a videogame where you're having skills as food preservation and cooking and you're experimenting to see which monsters will curse you when you eat them and which ones will give you superpowers. So the concept was not especially new to me. I also had a "what's the point of a cooking manga if you can't try the recipes at home" moment) Recently, as it's been popular, it's been on my dash a lot on tumblr, and I was like. Damn there are things in this manga. Necromancy? Demons? More than one female character. So yeah I gave it a second chance, and I'm enjoying it now.
4) If I'm interested in fanfic/fanart I have already looked at a lot of fanart, as it's quite popular these days. For fanfic, I'm waiting to know how it ends - it's the last of the list because I'm still going through it, I'm reading volume 13 right now.
5) If I'm tempted to write about it 5') And about what Maybe, but I'll see after the end, here too. Depends how it ends for Falin. Her arc is leaving me extremely frustrated.
6) Favorite characters There's no one that stands out, it's more a low level of "I love everyone in this bar", mostly Laois, Senshi, Marcille, Chilchuck and Falin.
8) Favorite parts Falin's resurrection, the horror of demons eating people's desires.
9) Why I would rec it Depends to whom. But for myself, the points that stand out is: interest in dungeon ecosystems, and a dungeon crawling story that has an interesting, slow burn, answer to "what do dungeons come from?" I might mention the necromancy too, in this context, even if usually it's just me. "resurrection spells work, but only there, because it changes the link between the body and the soul" is part of the interesting worldbuilding.
10) One of its biggest flaws I already said this but it frustrates me that Falin doesn't get to be more than a dead little sister/friend/love interest, even after she's technically no longer dead. Still hopîng for the end to fix it.

Falin/Marcille, I'm basic there.
8) Favorite parts
Falin's resurrection, the horror of demons eating people's desires.
