About this listen
Ryo was a chef, an extremely good one at that. That was until the entire universe as he knew it changed.
After his spaceship is attacked and destroyed by an enemy armada, he finds himself in a situation he never could have imagined.
Sent back in time and to an alternate reality, he has quite a few choices to make. Especially considering that the ruthless Kublai Khan and his Mongol Horde are just a few years away.
Accompanied by an extremely advanced Artificial Intelligence, a medieval noble, and his samurai retainers, Ryo sets out to change the known world. At least this dimension's version of it!
With his knowledge of history and the help of his companions can he stop the unstoppable tide of the greatest war machine the East Asian continent has ever known?
Join Ryo as he tries to change history with a little bit of luck, a lot of technical know-how, and some fantastic food!

Leo wanted to make something out of himself—and build dams. However, the world doesn't want dams. And it mostly doesn't want civil engineers. It doesn't want men who do any sort of building or fighting or grand design, it seems. So, when Leo finds his current girlfriend and boss being threatened by a brutal loan shark and all three of them get dragged through a portal to another world, it doesn't take long for him to decide this is the place for him. Plus, everyone has magic, and who wouldn't want that?

Have you ever come across those stories with heroes who knew just how to get things done? The ones who were masters in five different martial arts, and knew ten ways to skin a bear after killing it with their bare hands? Yeah, that wasn’t me. Hell, I had trouble asking a girl out on a date. But someone in clerical must have made an error. Because I got ripped from an airplane on my way home after my last day in the Coast Guard. I mean, come on, I wasn’t even in one of the hardcore branches of the military or anything!

The Author needs to learn to say more with less.
This story dies upon the diarrhea of excess words and pointless fluff. Good premise and characters... But endless fluff and word padding is everywhere... The point and story gets weighed down by the mass of unnecessary descriptions and thoughts that doe provide some context or coloring, BUT not relevant...
For a story about a Chef, the story is an perfect example of someone drowning or hiding the natural flavors from the ingredients by added excess seasoning and random favorite ingredients to a functioning recipe.
A massive editing is needed to trim entire chapters out and have the plot devices and scenes thinned down to get the point across.

A good story, but too much fanboy stuff
So the idea is unusual'ish and the story was finally getting interesting when book 1 ended. In general, I liked the story, but there are so many fanboy moments where the author waxes on about some anime thing or another and a lot of filler material that stretched the story length out without providing any real interesting content. I'd be tempted to get book 2 on a $5 sale, but I won't spend a credit to continue this series.

It was a really great start for a series
This book is a lot fun and wacky at times but has a great story that I can get behind. My one complaint is that it felt that very little was achieved in this first part, but I'm very excited about the upcoming release of part 2.

A modern man in ancient Nipon.
The constant fade to Marco Polo. He and the blind monks time with the Mongols. For me too much back story.
Really enjoyed the snarky AI and his hitching a ride in the hero's surgically implanted augmented CPU.
Personally I like to hear dual Narrators (man & woman) doing the male and female voices. Still the narrator was very good.
I have purchased both Audible recordings, 1&2 and the Kindle books too.

Interesting start of a story with a lot of potential for the next books
I randomly chose this book by its synopsis and I am glad I did. The story is enticing, well crafted, and I was quickly drawn into it.
I like the setting, the pace, and the characters are, so far, fleshed enough so I care about them. There is some repetitive phrasing used here and there, but it is cool - I am here for the story, but it is noticable. And yet, the story is good (enough. not spectacular. not yet ;)), and I am very willing to listen to how it continues.
The narrator's voice is nice, he does great job with the book, and is one more reason for the whole enjoyable package

Good Story
The main story is good but the other story was just boring. It doesn’t add to the story to me.

Great story. Thoroughly researched.
The story keeps the reader interested through great imagination and imagery. It leaves the reader questioning what happens next .The characters are well developed and engaging .A must read for those who love hand to hand combat of the Middle Ages combined with AI application. An interesting twist.

Not one story very very slow
So this is actually two stories not one. They end the book coming together and that just leaves the reader aka me unsatisfied that anything really important happened. It either needed the next arch to be included in the first book or split into two.
Second what is with all the super long back stories on absolutely unimportant pieces of equipment? Or random stories in general? We only get like 36hrs of the main character then it jumps months at the very end? Great potential just needs more work

loved the story but..
look this was excellent. I personally hate jumping in perspective in books. I can easily say I lost half a book because I had no interest in the ot main characters.

Fun but could use polish
Good story but author needs to improve dialog. Story reminded me of ‘The cross-time engineer’ books.
