Any Farming Stories Set in the Toriko World That Involve Transmigration?
I'm looking for a story where the protagonist uses a System or a portable, upgradeable small world to tame cute animals and grow delicious plants, then farms and raises livestock.

The plot is okay for passing the time, and the food descriptions are good too, but there are just too many exclamation marks in the book! Using exclamation marks as separators is really annoying 😂😂😂😂😂
It's quite good. The female lead isn't a naive, innocent type. The male lead is initially cold and aloof, even towards the female lead, but he gradually develops feelings for her, discovering her resilience, excellence, and intelligence. He slowly falls in love with her. The male lead's family is very kind and loving, offering the female lead a lot of protection.
I've currently read up to chapter 102. The female protagonist transmigrates and the male protagonist is reborn. The mother-in-law unconditionally supports the female protagonist, while the younger siblings are barely noticeable. I really want to complain about the male lead 🤦 He clearly traveled back in time, but what I don't understand the most is that he was living a good life after returning…
I've only read about twenty chapters, and it's really good! The author's culinary skills must be excellent too; the descriptions of the dishes are detailed yet concise, making it impossible to put down. I just want to see what other dishes are coming up! 🤭
Wow! Stunning + heartwarming + with positive values! I finished reading the entire novel on August 12, 2026. It's a novel with very delicate writing and a captivating plot. Starting with food, it tells the story of a girl who transmigrates into a book and, starting with a disastrous beginning, rises to wealth through food, finds love, achieves success in both career and love, and becomes…
Girls who enjoy slow-paced novels might find this helpful, or it can be quite soothing when you're feeling down. Overall, the plot unfolds smoothly, and aside from the male lead being a bit like a vengeful spirit in the first ten chapters, there aren't any major issues. Also, for girls struggling to decide what to eat, check out the table of contents.
It's really good!!! 🥰 I just started watching! Lots of delicious food, perfect for watching while eating!
If it didn't include such detailed recipes, this book would be a fine work. The plot flows smoothly with plenty of twists and turns. There are no cheat codes or spatial abilities; the female protagonist (or perhaps an 18-year-old girl) transmigrates into the book, and the male protagonist is reborn. They make a living and get rich by cooking—a familiar formula, but the plot is quite interesting.
I've read up to chapter 500 so far. The overall storyline is okay, but every woman who appears likes the male lead and keeps trying to harm her because of their unrequited love. Every man who appears also seems to have feelings for the female lead, and the male lead's subtle jealousy, coupled with the mother-in-law's strange inner monologues, makes it quite odd.
It's so good! Every character is fleshed out, the logic is meticulous, the plot is full of twists and turns, and the development of Luan Hongye's relationship with the male lead, although slow, feels very logical and lays the groundwork for Hongye and the female lead's transformation and growth. Those looking for a fast-paced, action-packed story or just romance can skip this.
