if it was done with the intent of advertising to readers to lure them to patreon by posting this story and then deleting it, it was in bad taste. if you want to promote it to patreon. then you can do it openly. Leaving the already posted chapters would have been a far better way to attract readers to patreon as he could have continued to update exclusively on that forum.

where are the chapters? why has the story been deleted and yet kept on the site? This is really disappointing as I had read great reviews for this story and was planning to read it, but the writer has not given a reason as to why it was deleted or when it will be back.

I remember reading another novel almost exactly like this, Only the MC opens a restaurant and it is guarded by a dog and a robot. Can't recall the name though. Some God of cooking system or something.
