I’ve been reading farming stories lately. Please recommend female-protagonist novels, whether set in modern or ancient times. The female protagonist can have a golden finger, but it shouldn’t be too outrageous. The writing shouldn’t be simplistic, and the plot should be tightly paced.

So you've been focused solely on cooking all this time! You've been focused solely on cooking and running your restaurant, friends!!! Unlike other books that take a turn midway through to portray a doting wife, this one has 150 chapters dedicated to the kappa-like male lead out of 200 chapters—I was truly touched! What do you read in a food novel? Food, friends! Five stars! I hope you'll write more about cooking, and fellow food writers will learn from you (and offer their critiques).
I couldn't resist halfway through! The pictures and descriptions were so tempting. You could even use it as a recipe book; if you don't know what to eat, just open any page and start eating—you'll be eating without saying a word! [Note] Spoilers! Spoilers! Spoilers ahead! Read at your own risk! I've finished reading it.
The author probably just wanted to write a cookbook, right? 😂 It's a fictional story, so don't worry about prices. The plot is just about everyday, peaceful life. I don't know how the author plans to write it later, but it's pretty good so far. The female lead is a food blogger, and the male lead is a surprisingly gluttonous guy. Looking at the illustrations makes me want to eat them too! 🤦
There aren't any particularly annoying characters to compare it to, the original male and female leads aren't portrayed negatively, it's a lighthearted food-themed story, and the male lead's character is quite interesting; he doesn't have the typical male lead's arrogant and domineering aura. Overall, it's a very comfortable read. The only downside is that it's not long enough. I'll keep reading.
Lately, I've been inexplicably irritable for no reason. This book is full of slice-of-life moments, the male lead was practically raised by the female lead, and his values are incredibly upright. The slow pace of the story makes it easy to calm down, which I really like. 😳 But I really can't accept that their sibling-like relationship is too strong.
It's good. The author even thoughtfully included illustrations. However, it doesn't really need a romance; the male and female leads lack chemistry. They feel more like siblings, which is a bit off-putting. In the early episodes, the female lead is constantly earning money to support the male lead's education, and he seems to take it all for granted. I really don't get their appeal.
It's quite good so far. I finished it in one go. It's been a long time since I've read such a relaxing novel. There are no awful characters, just simple food stories, but it's not boring at all, and it's very engaging.
It's very well written, especially the way the author accompanies each dish with a picture, which has slightly improved my anorexia. It's not just about cooking; the little joys of life are also described in detail. It's not just the food that's pleasing to the eye, but also the everyday pleasures that bring joy.
Although the content is a bit bland, the author put a lot of effort into it, and there are even pictures. The entire text almost entirely describes the process of the female protagonist making various dishes. Reading it late at night really makes my mouth water!
I think this should be a food-themed novel; it's making my mouth water! Even though I've eaten the food myself, the descriptions really make me crave it. Plus, the female lead has very strong moral principles. She feels guilty for feeling like she stole the original female lead's storyline when she transmigrated, but as soon as things got a little better, she immediately tells the Crown Prince to…
