This is so frustrating! I'm speechless. Don't they have any temper at all? They've been so patient and tolerant, and all they could do is focus on cooking while running the cafeteria, okay? So many vicious female and male supporting characters are here to make the female lead slap in the face. It feels like a romance novel disguised as a food story. I'm done reading it, never again.
Don't look, don't look! History loves female protagonists who suffer injustice, who never retaliate when hit or insulted. They even forgive those whose parents were kidnapped and nearly died. Hehe.
This feels like something written over a decade ago. The author is naive and doesn't speak up when slandered, nor does he fight back when his family is bullied. He works for months, but instead of trying to save his wages and find a place to live, he gives it all to his so-called cousin-in-law. He watches his family being mistreated without offering any help. I suggest the author do more research!
Food articles are supposed to be about food, but the food itself is glossed over, and the focus is always on conflicts here and there. It's really unreadable.
The grammar is mediocre, and the language is somewhat unclear and verbose. Moreover, the opening scene where a kitchen helper's wife dares to cause trouble at the Imperial Academy, and the administrators can't do anything about it, is ridiculous! Even in modern times, let alone ancient times, would a temporary worker's wife dare to confront the director of a state-owned enterprise?
It was heartbreaking and frustrating to watch. The female lead was indecisive and suffered at the hands of her aunt. Her parents were too weak; shouldn't a mother be strong for her child? Instead, the female lead's mother demanded that she give up. I don't know what to say, I'm speechless =_=. My impression of the beginning was bad, so I couldn't continue watching.
I really regret not reading the book review beforehand. What rubbish is this? 😨 Who's trying to make me feel suffocated? 😅
Terrible! Terrible! To put it simply, it's incredibly frustrating. I never imagined that after reading so many books and always avoiding posting reviews due to the hassle of logging in, I'd be so frustrated by a single book! Ugh, this book is truly frustrating.
I couldn't continue reading after chapter 18. The Imperial Academy, a place of great importance, and the female lead's aunt, a complete stranger, just barged in and started yelling like a shrew! 🤮🤮🤮😅😅😅 She came in multiple times, verbally abusing the female lead, and just randomly entered...
The female protagonist's family was penniless when they fled, yet they suddenly became wealthy after only three months? They even bought two maids at once, despite the supposedly safer living conditions in the Imperial Academy dormitory. Instead, things only got worse. Wouldn't it have been better to focus on the main quest?
