Gourmet: A Restaurant Across from the High School

No Female Lead, No Romance, No Brainless Plot, No Harem, No Flirting, and No Little Sister. Thanks.

No Romance! Male-Oriented! The Male Lead Shines on His Own! Powerful Identity!

I want something like I Became the Administrator of a Global Hell Game. The male lead has a powerful identity but hides among ordinary people, secretly acting as the mastermind behind the scenes! Please, fellow readers, save me!

Slice-of-Life Stories About Two Men, No Overbearing CEOs

Looking for books like *Happiness Street*. Are there any stories about two ordinary men falling in love? Nothing about domineering CEOs. I want the everyday warmth and bustle of ordinary people’s lives.

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

The Protagonist Runs a Restaurant: The Shop Is on the First Floor and the Bedrooms Are Upstairs

There was really delicious chili oil, and a shop that imitated the male lead's. After that, every time someone opened a shop, customers had to announce it in the group chat, and then customers would show up. The male lead, female lead, and their child were on the second floor. I accidentally deleted it from Tomato Novel and can't find it anymore. I'm so upset.

Looking for Foodie Stories (Street Stalls and Shopkeeping)

No Couples, No Female Lead, One Male Protagonist Only. No BL, Okay? 😡

No flirting, no romance, just one male lead throughout. Life is so much easier without love.

Food Stories, But No Absurd Pricing: No Selling a Scallion Pancake for a Fortune!

Food-themed stories, good food-themed stories. Please, I'm in a reading slump.

Foodie Stories, but Not the Kind Where the Characters Work Themselves to Death

Food Fiction with Detailed Descriptions. I’m Starving!

Modern or historical settings are both fine~

Looking for Food and Farming Novels, Whether the Characters Transmigrate Into a Book, Transmigrate to Another World, or Are Reborn. Preferably Short

Food-Focused Stories

Looking for some good food-themed novels.

Looking for Foodie Novels About Cooking, Snacks, and Restaurants

Preferably something with detailed materials, so it feels more immersive.

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!!!!

Looking for Cozy Shopkeeping Novels with No Brain-Dead Characters. Shopkeeping, Shopkeeping, Shopkeeping!

Looking for books like Tang Dynasty Supermarket: From the Start, Spicy Strips Make Li Shimin Cry. It was okay, but didn't live up to my expectations. I'd still like the protagonist to get involved in things besides running a shop.

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.

Delicious Food Stories

I don't want the kind of story where everything is icy cold, the food is never in limited supply, and nothing sells for a high price. Just a simple food story.

Food Stories That Promote Chinese Cuisine

Female protagonists, please.

Looking for Down-to-Earth Food Novels: A Skilled Chef Serving Affordable Cuisine

Invincible, No Female Lead, No Romance, No Sisters, Farming Stories Only, No Urban Settings

Looking for books similar to *The Orphanage I Run Really Isn't a Killers' Guild (Wuxia: Jade Leaf Hall)*.

Looking for a Laid-Back Novel Where the Protagonist Opens a Hotel or Restaurant (｡･Ω･｡)

Everyday Life, Slice of Life, Peaceful and Steady

Everyday life, slice of life, peaceful and uneventful.

Food-Themed Novel Recommendations

Looking for books like *Starting Out as a Vicious Supporting Female? I Turn the Tables with Food*. I had to avoid certain foods for my hives for a few days, so I could only read food stories to satisfy my cravings. The blurb caught my eye, but it wasn't finished when I wanted to read it. As soon as it was complete, I read the whole thing!
