Lord Jace chapter 17 . 7/2 I only just finished binge-watching 'Food Wars!' last night(started sunday night), so finally had the chance to read this one. I generally don't read crossovers without being familiar with both halves being crossed after all. That's the second anime I have gotten into because I wanted to read one of your fics, the other being DxD for Holy Man. So thanks twofold for introducing me to another great anime, and writing this wonderful blending of the two. I remember going into to watching the show on netflix wondering just how these two mixed aside from Shirou being a cook and the moment I see Soma I spent the next five minutes laughing. Well played sir. |
Rambukala chapter 4 . 6/20 S-Saber..? |
The-Killer40513 chapter 2 . 6/19 I want Saber to meet them. |
Bracting chapter 17 . 6/17 Manga is real? :O. No but seriously, I just read this entire story within a day and while weird considering its combining a fighting based anime with an anime about cooking, I still enjoyed it. Hope the next chapter comes out soon cause that cliffhanger was evil. |
Tryson chapter 17 . 6/15 Yeah I can actually see the apprenticeship working all he has to do is make a conceptual kitchen knife for her specifically do you ingrain prana stolen from the air into food, And binding it to her-To act as a proper catalyst to her cooking |
Guest chapter 1 . 6/10 "Unsure of what to do, Shirou complied and rolled up the sleeve of his favorite blue and white long sleeve to reveal the small star-shaped birth mark on his shoulder." OMG Shirou is a Joestar |
ZebraVonClaw chapter 4 . 6/1 Fun story premise! My friend and I always joked that Soma was just a Shirou who was saved by the wrong single traveling father, so i smiled seeing something akin to that in the crossover list. The diner family reunion meal where Shirou has flashbacks and beats the dad was legitimately touching. Right. Full disclosure. I'm wavering about reading past chapter four. Now, there is a whole lot of story after chapter 4, so there is a very real chance that in future chapters you've evolved your writing style and the following critiques no longer apply. If that's the case, instead take this comment as more of a suggestion to peruse your earlier chapters and trim it down to help ferry new readers on through to the good stuff. Anyway there are a couple of issues i keep seeing that make me wince. All of this is subjective though so hopefully this viewpoint helps. My first problem is more of a characterization/narrative one, the second is more of a prose dealio. Issue 1: Why? A lot of character motivations feel... weird? like, from mentioning Rin and Saber we know this is good ending UBW Shirou. This is the Shirou who has reinforced his commitment to be a hero, is constantly helping Rin pay the mana upkeep of a Saber no longer partially powered by the grail, is learning magic, and in a 3 way committed relationship. Him dropping everything to travel back to Japan for more than a short visit needs some serious groundwork to explain away. Enrolling into a 4 year school? there was some attempt to explain him heading to Japan but by the time of school enrollment it feels like a lot of very important life changing decisions that the UBW Shirou wouldn't be inclined to make happened off screen. Issue 1, again: Why? Okay, so, I smiled at the premise. But there was a reason why my friend and I joked about the similarities between the shows rather than wrote are own crossovers... Where can these two shows possibly go when combined? from the 4 chapters ive read it feels like the answer is that they can't and this fic will basically be an attempted novelization of Shokugeki no Soma except before or after every canon scene from the show Shirou will do a thing! This makes it seem like the universe is bending over itself to tell the same story regardless of context. why did the father, soon after reuniting with a son he thought of as lost, disappear? because otherwise the business lady scene can't happen! Why do the whole split classroom application scene with Soma and Shirou? because otherwise Soma's introduction to the Tsundere would go differently! This was especially frustrating with the 'make a meat dish' scene. Shirou spooking the security guys and kicking out the con artists would have been a cute and original way of ending the encounter but then after teasing it the scene happens pretty much the same except Shirou is there cooking some veggies. Honestly this is my weakest complaint as sometimes you just want 'more of _ show but Shirou Emiya is there.' But it ties into my early complaints of some characterization feeling forced. I'm hoping this is just you writing the 'required' stations of canon up to your chosen spot of divergence. I do wish the scenes were a little more varied. Issue 2: You repeat yourself in a way where sometimes you say the same thing again with slightly different wording a lot. It can be annoying, and frustrating, when you say something twice. This is because you don't need to explain it again, we understood it the first time. ok, i'll stop. :P but seriously, the first 4 chapters at least suffer greatly from the need for a proofreader to glance over the whole thing and dramatically cut down on the repetitive/unnecessary prose. EXAMPLE: the following is a snippet from chapter 4: - She paused in her browsing of the names and instead glanced up at one of her Grandfather's men wearing a black suit and checkered tie. He was the aide sent by her Grandfather to help her with miscellaneous activities during the course of the examination. Of course, she preferred having her friend Hisako to take up that position but it was oddly against her grandfather's instructions not to bring anyone she was associated with. A cold and callous person. Someone who was blunt, and not easy to get along with. These were apt words to describe Erina, and one of the things that had always concerned Senzaemon Nakiri. For Senzaemon knew that his granddaughter was hard for anyone to open up to because she herself never revealed her true emotions. As an example, if she liked something that others may perceive as weak, then she would deny it without a single change in her expression. Then again, it wasn't really her fault that she had turned out this way. The fault instead lied in her childhood and her upbringing. It was a past that always caused Senzaemon to frown whenever he recalled it. Then again, it was also part of the reason Senzaemon doted on Erina from time to time. "Is there something the matter?" Erina asked curtly, the sharpness of her eyes enough to unnerve anyone she had just met. In a way, it was eerily similar to her father's, and that was more than enough to cause the man sent by Senzaemon to feel a cold sweat. "The next batch of examinees are already waiting in Kitchen area C and D," the man informed with a grunt. "We can't start the exam without you and as such it fell upon myself to call you." Erina's mood fell. "C, and D?" She wanted to clarify. As far as she had been notified, she would only be getting one batch of examinees in bulk every hour. Kitchen area C was already large enough to accommodate nearly a hundred applicants, and Kitchen area D even more so. Therefore, why were both rooms filled all of a sudden? The man sent by Senzaemon clearly noticed Erina's confusion and immediately supplemented her with an explanation. - hopefully you can see what i'm saying already with the clarity of rereading that. But just in case, I'll go over it again from my perspective (which has been thoroughly jaded due to repetition in prior chapters.) i'll replace every repetitive line with a more obvious rewording showing how it's repetitive in brackets. BRACE YOURSELF: - She paused in her doing the thing you just describer her doing and instead of doing the thing you just described her doing glanced up at one of her Grandfather's men wearing a black suit and checkered tie. He was the aide, Her grandfathers man, to be the aide. Of course, she preferred having her friend Hisako to take up being the aide but it was oddly against her grandfather's instructions not to have her friend Hisako be the aide A cold and callous person. (note: this line is an error that has nothing to do with repeating stuff; the subject here is unclear if your referring to her or her grandfather due to ending the sentence with 'her' but the the object of the sentence was Grandpappy and his disregard for her wishes. two paragraphs later it's resolved but people might look backwards for context which wont help) Someone who was blunt, and a cold and callous person A cold and callous person, someone who was blunt, and a cold and callous person were apt words to describe Erina, and one of the things that had always concerned Her Grandfather. For Her Grandfather knew that his granddaughter was hard for anyone to open up to because she herself was a cold and callous person someone who was blunt, and a cold and callous person. As an example, if she liked something that others may perceive as weak, then she would deny it cold and callous and bluntly. Then again, it wasn't really her fault that she had turned out this way. The fault instead lied in her childhood and her childhood. It was her childhood that always caused Her Grandfather to be caused to be concerned. Then again, it was also part of the reason Her Grandfather doted on Erina from time to time. "Is there something the matter?" Erina asked cold and callous and bluntly, the cold and callous and bluntnessof her eyes enough to be cold and callous and blunt anyone she had just met. In a way, it was eerily similar to her father's, and that was more than enough to cause the aide sent by Her Grandfather to feel a cold sweat. "The next batch of examinees are already waiting in Kitchen area C and D," the man informed with information. "We can't start the batch of examinees' exam without you and as such it fell upon myself to inform you with informationto say We can't start the exam without you." Erina's mood COLD "C, and D?" She wanted to say the question "C, and D?" As far as she had been informed with information, presumably not fromthe aide sent by Her Grandfather, she would only be getting C batch of examineesto exam in a batch every hour. Kitchen area C was C, and Kitchen area D was more than C. Therefore, "C, and D?" the aide sent by Her Grandfather clearly noticed Erina asking to be informed with information about "C and D?" and immediately informed her question "C and D?" with information - alright, problem hopefully clearly in the open, let's go over that ONE LAST TIME with a chainsaw - She paused and glanced up at her new Grandfather assigned aide wearing a black suit. She wished Hisako would have taken up the position but it was oddly against her grandfather's wishes to bring anyone she was associated with. tch whatever, she was strong. She didn't need to be coddled. Her grandfather did too much of that anyway. "Is there something the matter?" she snapped Her Grandfather worried she was too cold sometimes. "Uh, t-the next batch of examinees are already waiting in Kitchen area C and D?" he grunted out "We can't start the exam without you" she really had her fathers scowl. "C, iand/i D?" "uh, well, about that..." - so yeah hopefully some of this helps. Probably will continue to read at some point maybe after a full nights sleep. cheers ZVC PS stupid nitpick but i'm a useless fate fanboy: FSN doesn't have 'killing intent' as seen in chapter 3. i mean it technically has a thing that you could describe as killing intent but its never codified and Shirou would need to summon and prep the usage of Gae Bolg to achieve that. :P honestly this doesn't need fixing as its not important and is understandable in context its just a funny to see some Naruto bleed in now and then.(or possibly Hunter X Hunter) |
huongdaoroma chapter 17 . 5/30 I can't wait for next issue! |
dawnytilldusky chapter 17 . 5/26 Hello, good author! Out of all the fics you wroteand you wrote some goddamn fantastic fics ), i had to say this one is my favourite I really like the setting (i can't describe it, it's something like slice-of-lifeish? lol) , and despite the foreboding steps into action genre this fic would take, so far the light tone of the story never fails to amuse me. It's somewhat refreshing with all these heavy plotted fics i've read for the past months. I know you had a lot of main fics to update, but i can't wait till the next chapter for this fic arrives hehe All in a good day, Ciao! (I'm kinda curious on how you'll handle the relationships here, coz from the looks of it, Erina will be the main girl for Shirouunless you stay strictly with girls from respective series |
Wheresmydoseofinsanity chapter 17 . 5/16 This is my third time reading this and i cant help but hang on to every word. Thanks for writing. Looking forward to more |
