    No system, the protagonist's true abilities are key. Although there are some clichés later on, it's still quite enjoyable. The main appeal is the protagonist's genuine skills; the author is like a professional chef, or at least someone who researched recipes, writing in great detail, with various culinary techniques that seem quite professional (to a layman like me). The original anime's couple isn't broken up. I've read over a hundred chapters so far and there's no female lead. It took me an hour to find a novel without a system. If you know of any similar novels with protagonists possessing genuine abilities, please recommend them to me.
