    Some of you brothers, yes! I've read it countless times. It's absolutely my top food-themed novel (interstellar) and it's made me so hungry! The plot is also incredibly unpredictable. As a long-time bookworm, I sincerely recommend it.

    The first book features two male protagonists, which I don't like. The protagonist is reborn and becomes mentally impaired due to his excessive mental power; the other protagonist is a general. The second book is about randomly setting up food stalls, letting customers find their way (I'm drooling over food novels!). The third book is about selling boxed lunches; I won't say much about this one. The fourth book is also about food, which you can check out. The fifth book is highly recommended; the protagonist transmigrates to a world without delicious food—meat is for animals, and people can only eat vegetables. It's very good; the food culture in that world has disappeared. The sixth book is an interstellar novel where the protagonist transmigrates to an interstellar world, where there's no good food, only strange nutritional supplements. It's very good.

    Here are a few really good food-themed novels I highly recommend! ① The author describes cooking in great detail, showing real skill. They even teach kids to cook, and the kids are all so cute! ② It's about working as a contractor in a university cafeteria; the writing is pretty good. ③ I finished this a while ago; it's alright. It's a food novel that also includes a kindergarten, which is interesting. ④ It's a new book; the dishes are all very common, nothing too surprising but still quite fun. Hmm, the writing style seems a little odd sometimes…? But it doesn't really affect the overall effect. ⑤ It's also a new book; the plot is okay, nothing special, and the writing is quite good. ⑥ The plot is similar to the fifth book, but I think it's a bit better.
