Little Cooking Saint – Chapter Adjustment

Little Cooking Saint weird chapter jumps, lol, wut author-san?

Alright, a little explanation from Gumihou re this special announcement page.

So.

I use the webnovel to translate, and sometimes the author changes their minds midway through their writing… If you had read the earlier chapters, you might have encountered a very short, barely A4 size page worth of content. I expect that the author must have deleted a whole bunch of stuff there because after that the there was a weird name typo and there was a sudden jump in character development.

Like, wut?

Whatever, let’s get on with the translation. Then, I encountered this beauty below. And yes, the chapters went from 44, 45 to 33??

I would have taken the much simpler step of cutting away the Matsutake Meatroll Arc if it were not for 1 very crucial thing. Character Development. I am very, very sensitive to Plot and Character Development. Part of the reason why I hated Here Comes the Lady Chef, ugh!

It would be spoiler-y for me to explain why stuff was deleted from the Matsutake Meatroll Arc, but I promise to explain if anyone is interested when we reach the Sashimi Arc, because the repercussions from the MM Arc reached all the way to the S Arc.

By the way, among the stuff deleted, arranged in no particular order or sequence, were as listed:

(Not really) spoiler alert!

  • Encounter with Male Character
  • Received bad news from Male Character – Lao Er died, Xiao Qi was kidnapped?!!
  • A high-status character was introduced
  • A special good draw undue interest to our MC
  • A Very Important Society

These were all deleted, by the way, lol. Oh, the Society remained, but I demoted it from Very Important to Important-ish.

 

It pains me as a writer to see the potential of a novel cut short, whenever possible, I like to fix it so that the message within the novel shines the brightest. As readers of The Feast knows, I often rearrange sentence structures, split dialogues or even add details in places where I think is appropriate.

Whenever I add stuff, it’s always indicated with a footnote, as I did in Chapter 205 of The Feast.

I mean, the potential is just there! How could I just let it go?!

I’m not Elsa, lol!

 

Thus ends the explanation for the weird chapter adjustment, lolz!
