Description
The protagonist, Souta Toriyasu (32), who was just an ordinary company employee, one day was hit by a bus that ran onto a crosswalk and died. When he came to his senses, he found himself in a completely white space. And then… “It turns out we’re running out of final bosses right now… This is perfect timing!” “We’ll give you the privilege of choosing five super special skills and then an additional five skills of your choice.” “You’re free to use the exclusive space for final bosses however you like. Well then, please do your best to live a long life!” With these words and a catalog, he was reincarnated into the depths of the dungeon’s lowest level. Speaking of final bosses, they are generally beings who are eventually defeated by heroes. But, however… “I absolutely don’t want to dieeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee!!!” So, Souta decided to start “something” in the depths of the dungeon’s lowest level… Using cheat skills to obtain ingredients from monsters, growing vegetables and fruits in the farming area he created in the deepest part of the dungeon, Souta enjoyed himself as he pleased. Furthermore, he decided to open a restaurant, something he had always wanted to do…?

My Thoughts on I Was Reincarnated As The Final Boss, But Im Starting a Restaurant In The Dungeon Since I Dont Want to Fight!
First Impressions
The title alone grabbed my attention – a reincarnated final boss opting for culinary pursuits over world domination? I was immediately intrigued. The premise has so much potential for humor and unique storytelling. However, after diving in, I found myself a bit underwhelmed. While the initial concept is promising, the execution leaves something to be desired.
What Works Well
The core idea of a powerful being choosing a peaceful, domestic life is definitely appealing. There's a certain charm in seeing a character with immense power focusing on perfecting a dish instead of obliterating heroes. The cooking aspect itself is also a draw. The idea of the MC's cooking being revolutionary, especially in a world where food quality is supposedly lacking, has potential.
Areas of Concern
My biggest issue lies in the pacing and character development. The chapters feel incredibly short, leaving little room for meaningful plot progression or deeper exploration of the world. I also struggled with the MC's characterization. While the desire to avoid conflict is understandable, the MC sometimes comes across as naive, which feels inconsistent with the supposed intelligence gained from their previous life as an office worker. The skills are also poorly explained and feel like convenient plot devices rather than integral parts of the character's growth. The lack of a restaurant, despite the title, is also a bit frustrating.
Final Verdict
"I Was Reincarnated As The Final Boss, But Im Starting a Restaurant In The Dungeon Since I Dont Want to Fight!" has a fun and engaging premise that could be a real hit. However, the weak execution, short chapters, and underdeveloped characters hold it back. The world-building needs more depth, and the MC needs a more consistent and believable personality. At this point, I'm on the fence about continuing. It has the potential to become something great, but it needs significant improvements to reach its full potential.
