I'll have to check it out, thanks!
I do appreciate realism, but I think I care more that magic (or technology) use is proportional to its impact on the plot. For example, I love hard-scifi stories, but only where the details truly matter for the plot (e.g. The Moon is a Harsh Mistress) and not as much where it distracts from the plot. I also don't mind totally unrealistic settings, provided the magic/tech isn't needed to drive the plot (e.g. The Wheel of Time 1&2 is more concerned with character development than how the magic actually works).
It's hard to gauge where this one would fall in that regard tbh. The plot is written around the level of detail and kinda even feels secondary, like it's just there to give them a goal to work towards while the show itself is about a party navigating their decision to just cook and eat monsters they defeat in the dungeon instead of buying rations.
