The Imperial College’s Little Chef

The author's language is appallingly poor; the writing style is like that of an elementary school student. I've read over 180 chapters, and the plot has probably progressed to about ten chapters. The food isn't appealing either. It feels like I'm reading an ancient version of a cooking novel. 🙂 Speechless.

The story is a bit far-fetched... The female lead's "golden finger" (a special ability or advantage) is certainly impressive, but it's been revealed far too much. She keeps adding things that weren't originally in the kitchen, some of which are quite expensive... This can only be attributed to the fact that everyone she meets is kind and good-natured...

There are so many repetitive sentences and words, it feels like they're constantly emphasizing something, making reading a bit tiring. When making hot and sour potato noodles, it's always "numbing, spicy, fresh, and fragrant," then they change one word to "numbing, spicy, sour, and fragrant," but it still looks pretty much the same. When making desserts, it's all about "sweet, sweet, sweet."

You have to be completely brainless to read this book.

I'd still like to offer some suggestions. 1. There's really no need to use the same adjective so many times. For example, in the earlier chapters, the female lead's ethereal voice was described many times, but thankfully it was finally stopped later. 2. Many descriptions, including psychological activities, don't need to be detailed.

This is a sweet and tender story. Before the villainous characters could even have a chance to cause a scene, they were paired up by the capable characters on the main characters' side. The protagonist is a gentle and intelligent girl who is an excellent cook. Her family and friends are all blessed with a better life because of her.

Only one chapter a day, that's pitifully little 😭

The phrase "poured all over my face" runs throughout the entire story... There's actually a rhetorical device called "rushing towards you". However, even the best rhetoric becomes inappropriate if overused.

I didn't really like it. I only read chapters selectively. The plot was dragging. People who like food might enjoy it. The characters weren't very distinctive. People who grew up in the palace shouldn't be that stupid.

A time-traveling food novel set in ancient times, paired with a high-tech system... Okay, I really dislike system novels, especially those set in an ancient, antique world, yet incorporating modern high-tech gadgets. The overpowered cheat ability is both ridiculous and incongruous; I obsessively abandon them every time I see one!
