## Chapter
- number: 8
- release_date: 2025-03-05

### Summary
The narrative continues Yi Rim's culinary journey in the VR game "Real," where he, as his avatar "Rice," hunts and prepares a controversial new dish: grilled lizard skewers. This meal, explicitly linked to Vietnamese cuisine through its use of "nước mắm fish sauce," generates polarized reactions, with some readers intrigued and others expressing disgust. A significant highlight of the chapter is the depiction of Yi Rim in a "chibi" form, which is universally praised as cute and endearing. However, a more serious conflict is introduced as Yi Rim finds himself being stalked by other players. This unwanted attention is coupled with growing resentment and jealousy from the wider player base regarding his rapid progress, a development that readers find uncomfortable and frustrating. While the focus is on the new lizard ingredient, the chapter maintains continuity by referencing the previous encounter with the cute Spider Queen and showcasing Yi Rim's resourcefulness in using a boss horn as a weapon while using lesser monster parts for his skewers.
