I have read 70 chapters so far. Let's not talk about the overall story. I will only talk about the parts that I value. The male protagonist's identity as a chef is well portrayed in the book. Whether it is the management of the restaurant or the research of the dishes, the requirements for the ingredients, the craftsmen's excellence, and the satisfaction of the simple life, they all reveal a very high spirit of craftsmanship, which gave me the illusion that it is not a sweet novel. Regardless of whether the author is good at cooking or not, this book's description of the male chef is quite brilliant. Personally, I think it is even better than the urban romance. After all, everyone's love experience is different. Of course, there are only 70 chapters now, so I look forward to the author's performance in the future.
From the perspective of a food article, this is a very good food article. It is not the kind where the system awakens the system and gives it delicious food, and the customers feel as if they have inhaled it after eating it. The male protagonist was a chef in his previous life. He was reborn in a parallel world and inherited his family's small restaurant, possessing top cooking skills and ingenuity. But the dishes are not the kind that everyone exclaims awesome after eating them and then come back to them every time. The male protagonist is also constantly learning, learning from restaurant chefs from decades ago and from village chefs. His skills are better than theirs, but the needs of different situations are different. As the village chef said, the host in the country is not so wealthy, and the ingredients are cut into appropriate sizes and are easier to taste and heat. But if you cut it into smaller pieces, it will look fuller on the plate, the guests can use more chopsticks, and the host will look more respectable. The author's words are meaningful and the description is subtle, which is very good. The first 100,000 words are about food, and the second 100,000 words are about romance. There is not too much nonsense, but more about daily warmth and healing. It is very warm to read and I look forward to the subsequent development. The theme of the third volume is the male protagonist's proposal and the female protagonist's participation in the singer-songwriter competition, which is different from other entertainment novels. The author writes down every event that the heroine participates in, the theme of the event, the process of collecting songs, the source of inspiration, and also writes a few lyrics. The preparation process for the male protagonist's proposal is also very long, including collecting ore, writing lyrics, etc. There is a cultural and entertainment part, but it is not a literary copy, it is all the author's own ideas. The plot and rhythm of the story are very slow and tender, and it really has a male and female protagonist rather than a male protagonist and a female partner. It's just a pity that I wrote a lot of preparations beforehand, but the final proposal scene was a bit too simple. The ending of "Spreading Flowers" is uneventful from beginning to end. The author's writing style is quite delicate, and it feels like writing about daily life. However, the disadvantage is that the supporting characters are less well-characterized, and the descriptions of big scenes are a bit too bland and trivial. I wish the author better results in his next book.
It revolves around the daily life of the chef hero opening a shop in a small town. There are good friends supporting and caring for the star heroine, the hero guiding and healing the heroine, and the harmony and warmth between neighbors. The overall reading is very calm and relaxing.
The writing style is not bad, the ordinary and everyday style is very touching, but the writing is a bit off-topic. There is a lot of space to write about the female protagonist entering the entertainment industry, but the food part accounts for less. I personally think that based on the title of the novel, the core should be written around the male protagonist and food, such as "The Tip of the Tongue" "The food, inheritance, local customs, etc. Encountered during the production process, but the text only uses a few sentences to describe it (for example, about Grandpa Persimmon, why did he not cooperate, and how did it finally work out). I give 4 stars to encourage new attempts and writing styles. I look forward to the next work being better.
How can I put it this way? I have read a lot of novels about celebrities, but I have never seen one as bland as this one. It has a bland beginning and a bland ending. There is not much flamboyant writing, but it seems very calming. This is one of the few romance novels that I can finish. Although some of the plots, such as the proposal, are a bit brief, and there is little sense of satisfaction when celebrities meet passers-by, but it is worth recommending. I hope the author will continue to work hard and write a better work.
Full marks, plain and cozy, giving people a comfortable feeling There is no golden finger and tens of billions, there is entertainment and no copywriting, it is not cliché Listen to music, read novels and relax The only drawback: too short
Incredible! Tomato actually has such a plain, delicately written novel. It's not all about the funny jokes, but also the surprised tone in the first picture of me being reborn. It's beautiful, beautiful, and so comfortable. This novel requires you to calm down and read it slowly.
Tomato is mostly full of exciting articles with explosive rhythm. It is rare to read this kind of urban food article that is more steady, plain and realistic. There is no bloody conflict. The protagonist lives a new life and looks down on fame and fortune. He guards a small shop and studies cooking skills, which is full of fireworks. The emotional line is long and thin, and the top-notch setting caters to the public but is not exaggerated. The overall reading is comfortable and decompressing, and it is suitable for leisurely reading.
A very normal love affair between a chef and a celebrity, everyday and warm. It is recommended that you read this review first. There is no watery content and a clichéd plot. It is really full marks if you calm down and watch it.
This is my first time reviewing a book. This book gave me the feeling that the pace is very relaxed and light. No orgasms or anything like that. Very good, I enjoyed this book. And it feels very delicate and peaceful, just like the male protagonist in the book.
