Honestly, at first, I almost couldn't continue watching; it was really depressing. Thankfully, I persevered, and it was good.
It's very good, very realistic, and more original than typical time-travel novels! It can be quite depressing, but the writing is excellent! The only problem is that the male and female protagonists have such tragic fates!
This is exceptionally well-written. Unlike other stories about strong female protagonists who portray them as overly powerful, this one offers a realistic depiction of life. The story focuses on a single pregnant mother with a vulnerable younger brother, who faces numerous hardships in real life yet perseveres. She doesn't try to be strong or competitive; she simply wants to live a good life.
The writing style is fresh, the themes are rich, the plot is vivid, and the descriptions are detailed. It feels a bit like Gu Long's style, and overall it suits my taste perfectly 😎 Younger readers might not understand it 😂
I highly recommend this book. Although it's a time-travel novel, it doesn't have any cheat codes or special abilities. The protagonist only makes three kinds of food to sell at the beginning, which doesn't quite match the title. However, the word choice, poetic verses, and descriptive techniques used are quite unique.
I've only read about 30 chapters, and it's not bad. Unlike other novels where the protagonist transmigrates and immediately gains all sorts of cheat codes, fortuitous encounters, ginseng, lingzhi mushrooms, and golden fingers, earning hundreds or thousands of taels of silver in the blink of an eye, this female lead struggles to make ends meet. I'm looking forward to the rest of the story.
It's well-written, with a good writing style 👍 It's a bit different from other time-travel stories, and the female lead has a likable personality. Everyone should check it out!
Oh my god, finally finished reading it! Whew! So tiring. I thought it would be a lighthearted story about a peasant girl turning her life around through amazing culinary skills, but... It's hard to describe. Anyway, anyone who managed to finish it is awesome!
Overall, the story was pretty good. Five stars are for the male lead; his character design is excellent and very likable. I had to skip through many of the poems and passages. There are three time-traveling women in the story, and the last one's story isn't fully explained yet. The ending was quite unexpected.
It wasn't a lighthearted read; I finished it quickly. The author has good writing skills, but isn't very good at character development. Long stretches of dialogue make the characters seem rather rambling, and the female lead seems to always encounter "bad guys" to create trouble and conflict, which feels a bit cliché. Writing takes effort, so five stars.
