Ryoko Kui
- ... that mangaka Ryoko Kui cited one of her primary inspirations for Delicious in Dungeon was the 1995 Super Famicom game Wizardry VI: Bane of the Cosmic Forge?
- Source: In a Japanese-language interview with Famitsu back in February, Kui detailed the many video game inspirations behind the popular series. One of the big ones is a 1990 RPG called Wizardry 6: Bane of the Cosmic Forge. Gayton, Christina (2 May 2024). "Delicious in Dungeon was inspired by a video game you might not have heard of". Polygon. Vox Media. Retrieved 6 May 2024.
- ALT1: ... that mangaka Ryoko Kui is a noted fan of computer role-playing games, having drawn fan art of the Baldur's Gate series, Pathfinder and Planescape: Torment? Source: Which makes sense, because Ryoko Kui is a fan of CRPGs. On her blog she's drawn fan art of Planescape: Torment, Pathfinder: Kingmaker, and Pathfinder: Wrath of the Righteous, as well as portraits of the characters from the first two Baldur's Gate games Macgregor, Jody (14 January 2024). "The creator of Delicious in Dungeon drew portraits of the Baldur's Gate 1 and 2 cast you can use in-game". PC Gamer. Future US, Inc. Retrieved 5 May 2024.

- Comment: Thank you in advance for your time to the reviewer! If any admin comes across this, I still haven't received the 25 DYK Creation and Expansion Medal yet, at 28 hooks, so if anyone can it would be greatly appreciated! (As a footnote, Wizardry VI debuted in the west in 1990 but the Japanese release came out in 1995, if there is pre-existing MOS guidelines that state that it should be 1990 instead then I would advise it to be edited but the 1995 release is what Kui is referring to as her inspiration)

Overall: 
Interesting short article; it is well-sourced and well-written. I prefer the original hook over ALT1. My only suggestion is that mangaka should be unlinked per policy on consecutive Wikilinks and changed to "manga artist" for clarity's sake. Yue🌙 23:07, 14 May 2024 (UTC)

- @Launchballer: Apologies, I likely missed the absence of an explicit point of general interest because of my own interest in the series. I am unable to word the original hook in a way that is sound and under the character limit. I propose this alteration of ALT1, if you will, ALT2:
