I think you just took spawn camping to another level with this chapter.

I agree! I actually had a ton of difficulties with the first couple of lines. I'm not exactly sure how I want to fix it, but it's something for a final edit I think.

I didn't want to sacrifice the realism of a dinner for making sure everyone "understood" the world I was trying to build. I'm glad you liked it and weren't too thrown off by the conversation!

Yeah I'm really happy with how I've done Stefan and Vladimir. I wish I could give them more spotlight at times and hopefully I get that opportunity later in the story!

This entire chapter was really funny, but I think my favorite is definitely Jason's reaction to being called a content creator. Very fluid, the puns are well placed and don't overwhelm you, I'm really liking this!
A nice sort of world building chapter. I'll admit that when I read "we do love amphibian monsters" I had a little bit of a chuckle because that kind of speech is mostly reminiscent of how we speak contemporaneously here.
Definitely relate to the way that Murasaki kinda calmed Issei down. I don't remember the exact technique here, but I actually find that this kind of sort of simple calming language is super useful for people who have a kind of trauma or anxious episode. Nicely presented!
I think with the high-level chuuni ethos you've built into the main character, I think "you're nothing more than a person" is definitely a lot funnier of a phrase than it normally would be. Just solid delivery here.
I like the mention of double dates in the first half, I wonder how much of that is foreshadowing a moment when the mc tries to take their imaginary girlfriend on a double date with friends. Lots of fun possibilities!
Liking how you ground the audience by having the girl sort of echo the sentiments the reader might actually be thinking. The MC sort of breaking through some of his heightened prose to deliver a retort is also a nicely added flourish.
"Adhering to conventional employment logic" is a pretty amusing phrase, really liking the consistency with the way the narrator speaks and also monologues internally.
I do like the way that you appropriate all this like formal/prosaic wording into the actual dialogue of the main character. I think that sort of shock makes for good comedy. :)
There's a really strange surreal quality to the setting that you've made here, intriguing.
I definitely relate to the idea that even the most like normal thing like buying a different burger is a desperate attempt to shake up your normal/boring life.
Definitely enjoying the reserved quality you've given your MC, especially in the sense that they sort of live in their parents' shadow.
