Any Original Stories? I’m Sick of These Same Old Popular Plots
Recommend some fresh, original fantasy novels. No mainstream tropes, no lousy rebirth stories, no urban novels where the protagonist shows off and bumps into a beauty around the corner, and no apocalyptic stories with superpowers or a System. Are there any fantasy novels outside those categories? Ideally, something with a fresh premise and theme.

Looking for High-Quality Shopkeeping or Interplane Trading Stories with No Romance!!
Please recommend some high-quality post-apocalyptic stories about running a shop, or stories about interdimensional trading, with solid logic and polished writing. A lot of the post-apocalyptic and interdimensional trading stories I've read lately have really amateurish writing and totally incoherent plots. I'm begging for good recommendations. Thank you!
Looking for Food Novels! Incredible Cooking! Everything Looks Delicious!
Food novels! Modern-day or period settings are both fine. The protagonist should have amazing cooking skills, and running a street stall or opening a restaurant are both fine. I would like the process to be described in detail, preferably with food names as the chapter titles. Most importantly, there has to be a romantic pairing. I love watching other people fall in love, and romance and making money should both be part of the story.

Chovy, please take good care of this book! Why did you kill it?! Anyway, back to the point, it's a pretty good food-themed time-travel story. It's basically about the protagonist traveling through time to find recipes and then summoning ancient figures to work for him. The descriptions of the ancient storylines are very humane and have a sense of historical weight (?).
The latest chapter is very well written. The protagonist only cooks, without the common problem of time-traveling and trying to change history. Each side story is also well-written and doesn't feel awkward.
It's really good! Why is the rating so low? It's not just about food; it also incorporates historical and cultural elements, creating a unique and engaging narrative. The whole book feels very human and down-to-earth, making it a very comfortable read.
It was a pleasant surprise; I shouldn't have been misled by the ratings and number of readers. Compared to the ubiquitous street vendor chases, this story possesses the literary elegance of ancient times and the realistic aspects of modern life, combining time travel, resource exchange, and well-written food scenes—it's practically perfect.
This book is truly excellent, especially the part depicting Lu Bu's epic battle with Sun Wukong over Diao Chan. However, Xue Baochai was undeniably too powerful; had it not been for Darius's outer-circle cheat and Noxus Guillotine, that M4 6x scope spray would have been fatal.
The God among gods, you've made me feel so hungry! 하나님, 배고프다고보여주세요.
The latest chapter is 47. It's a food-themed novel with a crossover element. The characters and food are well-written, although the protagonist's presence isn't particularly strong. The highlights are the dungeon storylines, restaurant management, and customer feedback. For me so far, I'm very satisfied except for the White Jade Soup dungeon, which I felt was a bit overdone. Five stars for now. ☕
Captivating and with a great theme! I never thought finding a readable novel would require such a stroke of luck. After reading Tomato (a popular Chinese novelist) for half a year, I finally found one I could actually read. The pacing is brisk, though there's a bit too much modern setting. Having minor characters is fine, but they need to be well-developed.
A very unique food-themed story! Fans of historical time-travel and food-themed novels are in for a treat. The story segments are all very interesting (currently reviewing) 😋
I'm actually quite unaccustomed to writing book reviews before an article is finished, but this book is truly exceptional. (Spoilers ahead!) I've read many historical food novels, but this one is truly unique. It avoids the common pitfall of trying to alter history, instead focusing on the smallest details to connect with the historical figures, their lives, and their mental states, creating a…
