Looking for Stories About Running All Kinds of Shops. I Love Business and Infrastructure-Building Stories
Please hurl every kind of high-quality book at me‼️ No romantic pairing or a single romantic pairing preferred 🙏🙏🙏🙏
There Are Hardly Any Good Foodie Stories These Days. I Dare You to Prove Me Wrong
Looking for Food Stories With Braised Intestines and Red-Braised Pork. Ancient or Period Settings Are Fine 😘
There Are No More Masterpieces in Journey to the West. Disagree? Come Debate Me 🤔🤔
Pure Food Stories! No Romance, No Family, No Meddling! Thanks!
Thanks for all the recommendations. Okay, that's enough, I don't need any more.
Everyday Food Stories, Nothing Too Over-the-Top
Food Novels That Make Great Mealtime Reading
Nothing too basic, please. I want something well written, ideally with detailed descriptions of the food, but without overly flowery prose!!!!
Are There Any Foodie Novels on Tomato?
Male- or female-oriented novels are both fine. No harems with three thousand beauties. Either no female lead, or just one. For female-oriented novels, anything goes, since I’m a total hypocrite about this. No brainless characters who get dumbed down!
I'm Desperate for Something to Read. Are There Really No Brilliant Female-Centric Novels With No Romance?
No CP, no CP, no CP!! I can't stand even a hint of romance!
Food Novels, But Not Ones Where the System Just Hands Out Recipes
I don't want stories where the System gives the protagonist individual recipes and they can only cook those dishes. I want a proper chef and food story.
Food Stories! Food Stories! Food Stories! No Tang Dynasty Supplier Stories
Food!
Female Lead Runs a Little Restaurant and Guesthouse! Great Cook!
Chinese Food and Cuisine in Anime and Film Fanfiction!
Looking for books like "A Certain Science-Inspired Late-Night Diner". No "Toriko" or "Food Wars!" fanfiction, please. I haven't watched either anime, so to me personally, their fanfics just feel like food stories rather than fanfiction. Still, non-...
Looking for a Food Novel About Simply Cooking, Opening a Shop, and Everyday Family Life, With No Scheming
Any Stories with One of Heaven’s Three Most Rebellious Trouble-Makers as the Protagonist, or All Three? No Ao Bing and Nezha Pairings
I'm Out of Books! Aaaah!
Historical or quick transmigration stories with an overpowered female lead. If possible, no male lead.
Food Novels Focused Purely on Cooking, No Random Plotlines!
Don't recommend it unless it's actually a food novel. If it doesn't feature food, what the hell am I supposed to read it for? I'd be better off reading something else!
Any Stories Where the Female Lead Ends Up in Journey to the West?
I’m a Huge Sun Wukong Fan. Recommend Every Book He Appears In!
Looking for books similar to Slay the Gods. It’s not enough for Sun Wukong’s name to appear. I want the actual character to show up at least once.
Looking for a Journey to the West Novel with a Female Lead
Looking for books like "Revisiting Journey to the West: I Take Three Rebellious Brothers on Daily Antics". Please recommend Journey to the West stories with a female lead, preferably no CP.
Journey to the West: Female-Oriented
I'm out of books to read, looking for female-oriented novels.
Transmigrate into Classic TV Shows and Movies, but Keep Your Wits About You
For example, "My Date with a Vampire", "Magic Mobile Phone", "Myth", "The Deer and the Cauldron", "Journey to the West", "Lotus Lantern", works by Jin Yong, and Uncle Jiu stories. No ninjas, pirates, Harry Potter, or other Western fantasy. I can't get into those.

I unexpectedly found a fantastic Journey to the West food novel! The four main characters are vividly portrayed, each with their own quirks, yet all endearing and heartwarming. The author avoids the tendency to unfairly criticize characters found in some Journey to the West novels, making for a very comfortable reading experience.
The score is quite low. The food descriptions are all logically consistent, and the female-centric perspective feels very natural, which I like. Unlike some works where you can tell at a glance that the author has never even cooked and doesn't even know what a proper kitchen stove looks like.
This is so well written! At first, I thought Wukong was too reckless, Tang Sanzang was too sentimental and naive, and Bajie was too greedy and Sha Wujing was too weak. But as time went by and the journey to the West got closer, everyone began to grow up. I love this kind of writing!! When I saw the Hand of God at the end, I got goosebumps all over; fate is truly terrifying.
It's so good! I rarely see fanfiction about Journey to the West, and the author has done a great job with the characters. There's no sense of being out of character (OOC). Fellow fans, you'll understand! While reading, my mind automatically conjured up the voices of the characters from the 1986 Journey to the West, hahaha! Plus, the whole story is about food! Who doesn't love food?! The descriptions are so vivid, just reading about it makes me hungry 🤤🤤🤤
I think it's pretty good. I read some reviews, and many people felt it was bad because of the characters' out-of-character (OOC) behavior and expressions, but I think it's alright. The character of Zhu Bajie is really well-developed, especially in the Wuzhuang Temple section, where you can see the multifaceted nature of humanity.
It's super good. I've always loved reading Journey to the West, and this one is really well-written. Everyone says the female lead is an old woman, but she doesn't seem like one to me. Besides, the female lead infiltrated the pilgrimage group to gain immortality and accumulate merit to enhance herself. Isn't that an equal exchange? I've read it a second time and I'm already about halfway through. Look at my reading time!
It's clear the author has a good grasp of the original work. The author has a knack for writing about food, and the protagonist isn't a celestial being, but a kind-hearted and principled little demon. The story is refreshingly lively, with moments of humor and satire, and discussions of profound topics, but none of it is heavy or dull; it flows smoothly like water.
This is so good! This is the dream story I've been searching for for so long! I've always wanted to read a food-themed story where the female lead transmigrates to the Journey to the West world, and it has to be all friendship with no romance, and the writing style has to be mature and not childish. It's so hard to find one! 😭 Thank you, author, I love you!
The pacing isn't fast, but the plot unfolds gently, making it incredibly enjoyable to watch Yuan Yuan and Monkey King's chivalrous adventures! Especially satisfying was seeing Baihua Xiu seize power and ascend the throne! Princess Iron Fan and the Jade-Faced Fox both drove away the Bull Demon King and focused on their cultivation. We girls need to watch things like this to have the motivation to make a living! 💕
I absolutely love this book! It's so good. The descriptions of the food are incredibly appetizing; they make my mouth water just looking at them. The interactions between the characters and their disciples are also very believable and heartwarming, showing a deep bond between them. Zhu Yuanyuan, through her culinary skills and foresight, helps them overcome many hardships.
