A Spoonful of Chili Essence, and the Gods Beg Me to Stop

This book is so good! It made me realize how easily the author's writing can tempt you to spend 28 yuan on food. There were so many delicious things to eat that I was so hungry I ordered takeout before even finishing the book! I bought fried chicken frames, fried chicken strips, fried chicken skin, and fried sweet potato fries. I felt bad for wasting my money; I couldn't let myself eat all that! Everyone should come and read this; let's buy all the delicious food together! 😂

The hotel receptionist was friendly, attentive, and responsible – great! The room was lovely, and most importantly, clean! The bed was 1.8 Meters wide, and the blankets were very comfortable and soft. The Wi-Fi was also excellent; videos streamed smoothly. This environment gave me a restful night's sleep. A highly recommended hotel; this trip was worthwhile! Clean! Hygienic! Beautiful scenery!

It's so addictive, I can't stop reading! It's so good, absurd and funny! Ahhh, I was supposed to be studying tonight, my teacher qualification interview is in two days, time is so tight, but I stumbled upon this story and couldn't resist. I was completely immersed in it until I caught up to the latest chapter. I couldn't resist anymore.

I've read 74 chapters so far, and it's a really good food-themed battle novel. The beginning is a bit formulaic, but the main story gets really good. The part where the protagonist showcases his culinary skills in a food desert, astonishing diners with his dishes, making them stronger, gaining fame, and gradually building popularity to expand his scale and defend the city is quite exciting. And the more I read, the more satisfying it gets; he's about to go to other cities to show off his skills!

This is a very interesting book. While the beginning is somewhat clichéd, the author's progress is evident in the unfolding plot. The clichéd start of a time-traveling, simp-like protagonist and the serious war scenes in the middle are effectively toned down or even omitted later on, which is a good thing.

I've read over ten chapters, and it's pretty good, very enjoyable. If you're looking for a fast-paced, satisfying read, then this is for you. It doesn't have the typical "food shocking the diners" trope, but it does have the satisfying moments of the protagonist living a serious, idyllic life with business partners and competitors, the satisfying moments of slapping others in the face in the real…

So exciting, so incredibly exciting! And it really makes my mouth water! The food descriptions are so good, they're making my mouth water just reading them.

As a food-themed novel, it's undoubtedly a success if it can make readers drool and crave food while reading. The author has also maintained a good pace, with no unnecessary dialogue so far. The combination of food and battle is quite creative. However, the presence of a young man in ancient Chinese style is a bit jarring.

Recommended for those seeking a fast-paced, exciting read; the content and world-building are quite interesting, but the details don't hold up to scrutiny, and there are many illogical parts. Personally, I found it a bit tedious after a while, but occasionally reading a few dozen chapters without thinking too much is very relaxing.

The food looks so tempting, I ordered takeout and ate like crazy. The cooking techniques are all very interesting; I hope there will be more fun skills in the future. They've already got barbecue; when will the spicy hot pot arrive? Looking forward to it! 🥰
