God of Cooking: Starting with Jiang Lai

He's a master chef, no doubt, but the protagonist seems a bit pretentious. He won't even cook for his father-in-law, his reason being, "A master chef doesn't cook to please others." Author, are you an orphan? Don't you have a girlfriend? Don't you know how to be filial to your parents? Calling filial piety "pleasing others" is quite something.

The rest of the writing is alright, but the ending of chapter 167 is absolutely toxic—it cracked me up! Is the author morally bankrupt, or did they intentionally write the protagonist with such a flawed worldview? If I understand correctly, it means the author would rather cook and sell food to strangers than cook a meal for their future in-laws—who are practically their parents, right?

He refuses to cook even a simple meal for his in-laws, yet the system praises him for having the flair of a culinary master. It's laughable.

**What the hell are you writing?** You call yourself a chef? The happiest thing for a chef is when others enjoy the delicious food they create. You wouldn't even cook for your own father-in-law? What kind of person are you? You're just showing off, it's really a headache to watch.

Well, to put it simply, with this system, forget about becoming a culinary master. Stephen Chow was right: everyone is a culinary master in some way, because good food is made with heart, not by showing off or gimmicks. This system can only produce a cooking machine, because all its energy is spent on showing off.

Won't the price bureau come and inspect your store?

Is Zhuge Dali really that good? I didn't watch Love Apartment 5 because some of the original cast members were gone, and a few more young people and an older one were added, so it didn't feel like the old Love Apartment anymore.

The protagonist may seem like a main character, but he's really just a tool of the system, doing whatever it tells him to do. His cooking skills aren't actually written; it's all just a series of exaggerated claims about prices followed by the feeling that the food is worth it.

Sitting here like an idiot, how could you get an oil film from boiling plain water? I really don't believe anyone can boil plain water and get oil out of it. Idiot, that makes no sense at all.
