When the night came, there was a twittering sound in his ears, and the monster in the shadow began to move restlessly. Jason’s hungry stomach began to roar, and he couldn’t help swallowing saliva. Hunger is the best spur.
A very entertaining novel with a great story concept. It is a bit shaky when introducing the MC starting point in the beginning chapters however it becomes addictive as you progress in chapters. The style is quite similar to 'The city of Terror'. It is a highly recoomendable read.

Read the machine translation after reading first 50 chapters on webnovel. The book is cool for the first few chapters, about "200", after which it becomes about greed, self importance and bias. Am referring to the character here, of the main lead. So, from a personal choice I can only say the first part was cool, felt a little bit like a "lord of mysteries" kind of literary exploration but after which it's just crap, repulsive and predictable.
It the usual without greed you won't progress, without being childish it you are insecure, without having a distorted view of the world, the world is not suitable for you. [Also noted as : greed, self-importance and bias].
As for why the rating is 4 stars, it truly is 4 stars despite being a crap novel, actually 3 and a half stars but there is no half star, so there you have it.

It has game elements and a system. MC is cunning and gives off Devil's Cage kinda vibes. His power is pretty cool too. He gets points which can make his abilities better when he eats monsters. Written really well.
Some places made me feel that translation could've been a bit better. Otherwise it's really good.

Great character that was quick to grab you mind and keep you wanting to read more with a fast paced plot. With a alternate world and monsters it was easy to keep wanting to read more to find out what would happen next to our main character.

It feels like the writer took Kiran from end of the devil's cage and put him in a new world. Like with Kiran, I expect him to gain everything, lose almost nothing, and eat whatever he sees. It feels great and as one of the smartest MC's, even though there might be a lack of impulsiveness might be slightly sad, you'll never truly see the plot armor. This I love, from there my love.

A fast paced story that encapsulates many interesting sides of this mysterious world with a main character who has a pretty cool power that Isn't to over the top. Anyways can you get this novel out of trial, it's kind of fire, and I want more.

This is one hell of a great nove, I can't wait for it to be lunched. It is similar to the devil's cage except that jason is more like a mix of Kieran and gluttony which you should have guessed from the title, they have the same leveling system except that jason get points when he eat monsters which he can use to power up his skills or learn new ones and he smells an attractive aroma when he is near dead monster body and if the meat of the monster isn't fresh he gets a lower number of points which like force him to kill them or be near the scene to maximize his benefits, oh and i forgot that he is basically immortal as long as he has enough points to heal himself. All right I will say no more you better pick this up since this is a gem

When I read this the first thing I thought is, wow it's pretty similiar to the devil's cage with some difference. Then I found out they were written by the same author 🤣 If you love the devil's cage, you definitely will like this one like me!
Kieran wish he could be like jason lmao, too bad the stuff he likes to eat is in very limited quantity.
Love the novel, will be waiting for updates.

Why isn't this book released out of trial read? Author's another book The Devil's Cage is quite popular here and for a reason. This novel is quite good, do give it a read. Fast paced, action pack with wits, magic and alternate world settings. I haven't yet read the raws or mtl so I don't know about the later chapters but the ones translated are really entertaining. Give it a shot and hope that it's picked up soon.
I am salivating, prepare the feast.

Not your cup of tea if you just want to relax and enjoy simple daily chapters. Different from stereotypical web novels that always repeats the same cliches. While intelligent MCs aren’t that rare anymore. This novel is one of the few that manages to have a large part of the story dedicated to the MC’s thinking while keeping it simple to understand, and still draw readers in. The MC isn’t a super intelligent genius who can figure out an enemy’s entire life story just from a single glance. The MC’s more of a regular person, who slowly acquired various skills while doing his best to stay alive in a crime infested city. He does his best with what he has.
Only issue I have is the occasional translation mistake. Like the monster that’s a giant mouth with legs, which is a grinner. Being renamed to “joker” for an entire chapter for no reason.

Way different from the typical system/game element novels. Has a thriller element that makes it very interesting and exciting. The Mc is also very cautious and not op. Basically a very refreshing story if you’re looking for a change.
