First, As a lighthearted show without a plot, it falls miserably short in the character department. There's nothing deep or interesting; it's just a basic RPG roster with super generic, clichéd character traits.
Second, Resurrection. It's the point where the stakes died. I don't care about Laios's sister, and I have a hard time worrying about the characters' journey.
Third, Cooking. Yeah, it's cozy, delicious, and wholesome. But only for the first four or five times. The repetitiveness made me watch food scenes as if I were watching paint dry.
In conclusion, Dungeon Meshi is painfully boring. I think the author had the idea - let's create recipes with monsters' meat, but nothing more. The simple plot and cardboard characters (cut out with tropes and traits from DnD) were built around that concept.
