Thanks for playing and the feedback.
The Quest Log is mostly flavor text at this point. The story so far is linear, and the "Quests" were previously just mentioned in the dialog. This allowed us to remove them from the main story dialog boxes, to help things flow better, and make them stand out as their own thing. Adding a place to see them was partly to have it feel more important, and partly to let you see your progress, especially for the main food quest. We will be updating things so that you decide how much of your loot gets sent back as food, with different tiers of success on the main quest of finding food for your clan. We are still debating if there will be optional quests.
