This is a very good book. The premise of trading resources between two worlds isn't particularly unique these days. However, the idea of using additives to poison another world is quite novel, especially since these additives actually benefit them! Of course, the most important thing is the humorous and witty writing style, which seems to have comedy ingrained in its very being!
This is a very interesting book. The author's writing style is actually quite good, and the book is consistently enjoyable, packed with jokes and full of imaginative ideas. The current rating of less than eight points is really too low. Although the plot is somewhat clichéd, as a light novel, this one is top-notch in quality.
I started reading this book because of the anime. It's a male-oriented novel based on a food-themed anime, and the whole reading is smooth with a humorous writing style. The idea of pre-made dishes is novel and worth reading! I've currently read 180 chapters and am waiting for further updates. Male lead character setting: ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Plot Summary: ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Author's writing style: ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
The plot is lighthearted and humorous, very enjoyable, and the author updates consistently. 👍👍 The plot is interesting, but it's prone to attracting nitpickers. They can accept the absurd setting of a kitchen connected to ancient times, yet they're seriously questioning whether the plot is realistic? 🍉🍉
The story structure is quite good. It's not a system novel; it's about a food trader without any cheat codes. It's a decent slice-of-life story. The only flaw I've noticed so far is the author's prejudice against pre-made food, or rather, a subtle form of sarcasm. In reality, as long as the pre-made food isn't from a small workshop, there are no real food safety issues.
It's incredibly good, the plot doesn't drag, and the food descriptions in particular made my mouth water. Reading a chapter while dieting is such a pleasure! There were no major flaws throughout, and the writing is very interesting. Don't read it during class, you won't be able to hold back your laughter. The style of this book is a bit like "My Own Swordsman," humorous, lighthearted, and with a touch of warmth. It's a great read, you won't regret it!
Hurry! Hurry! Hurry! Update soon! Author, please update soon! Interesting, but not enough to watch 👀. I just started looking at the rating, it was a little over 5 points, and I was about to quit when I saw the two reviews on the cover, one five stars and one three stars. Usually, the cover reviews are positive, so I wanted to see what kind of person had such a low rating.
It's so good! The main character is intelligent, a real genius! The author's writing is also excellent, and they love using internet slang. It's so good, I love reading it! 😋 It's so good, author, please update soon, I'm having a reading slump! 🤧 It's so good! So ...
Judging from the title alone, I would have thought it was something like "Master Chef," a cooking competition or something similar. It turns out the story revolves around selling pre-made meals to ancient people, and the series of events that follow. The plot is quite interesting, though a bit short. Worth watching! 😂
It's pretty good, but I really couldn't handle those four major families bringing 20,000 servants to dinner. If it were just a normal slice-of-life story, it would be quite enjoyable. But later on, the protagonist seems to have a mentally sluggish personality, mindlessly piling up huge numbers and constantly doing things involving thousands or tens of thousands of people. It's really nauseating.
