- The Three Idiots Who Couldn’t Become Heroes Are Preparing a Man’s Meal Today as Well

Description
One day, three slightly older men are suddenly summoned to another world. It is a ritual called “Hero Summoning”. However, the three who were summoned all fail, which is a ridiculous result, and the one who lead the summoning is furious. They are thrown out of the castle. Still, in order to survive, they take up a job called “Walker”. Awaiting them are mountains, forests, and jungles. They are attacked by creature that similar to boars, deer, and wolves, which are called magical beasts. And the three are forced to live a life of survival. To earn money, to eat, and to live. The three fools hunt again today. They hunt and eat, they kill to eat. They are neither heroes nor the protagonists of a fairy tale. That is why they do not bring about changes that will change the world. However, no matter where If you’re alive, you get hungry. That’s why they continue to fight for survival today. In the forest of another world, they put their hands together and say “Itadakimasu” (thank you for the meal). Repeating this, the men prepare a “man’s meal” outdoors today as well. Steak! Fried chicken! Salt-grilled river fish! Rice and vegetables! No special dishes are needed. This is “man’s meal,” after all.

My Thoughts on The Three Idiots Who Couldn’t Become Heroes Are Preparing a Man’s Meal Today as Well
Okay, so "The Three Idiots Who Couldn’t Become Heroes Are Preparing a Man’s Meal Today as Well" – what a mouthful! But after diving into this story, I can say it's a lot more enjoyable than the title suggests. It's a fun blend of fantasy, adventure, and a surprising amount of cooking.
First Impressions
My first impression was definitely intrigue. The premise of three summoned heroes failing to live up to expectations and then focusing on cooking and camping in a fantasy world is definitely unique. I was half expecting a train wreck, but I was pleasantly surprised. The story sets up the world and characters well enough to draw you in.
What Works Well
The biggest strength of this novel lies in its characters and the light-hearted tone. The interactions between the three "idiots" are genuinely funny, and their camaraderie feels real. I found myself chuckling at their antics and appreciating the slice-of-life feel amidst the fantasy setting. The attention to detail regarding their equipment and how they acquired it adds a layer of depth that I appreciated. It's not just a hand-waved "they have armor now" situation; there's actually a logical explanation behind it.
The cooking aspect is also surprisingly well-done. It's not just a gimmick; it's integrated into the story in a meaningful way, adding to the overall charm.
Areas of Concern
While I enjoyed the light-hearted nature of the story, there are moments where I wondered about the bigger picture. The world-building, while decent, could be fleshed out more. The apparent lack of fear towards demons, as one reader pointed out, feels a bit odd and could potentially be a plot point in the future, or perhaps a missed opportunity to add some real tension.
