God of Cuisine 1982

Online novels can feature sweet, single-female protagonist stories, or they can be harem stories filled with debauchery and extravagance. But the worst kind is one that starts with a single female protagonist and gradually develops relationships with many other women, ultimately ending up in a forced harem – that's the most disgusting kind.

After reading dozens of chapters, the plot is incredibly idiotic. The protagonist is a street vendor selling snacks. The city is having a "Civilized City Month" next month, so the normal logic would be for him to either stop selling snacks this month, move to a smaller town, or do something else. But the protagonist doesn't do either; he just walks into someone else's clutches.

Please keep the pace steady, I'll always support you ⬆️ And please, no multiple female characters, ambiguous relationships, or harems. I've seen too much of that in real life; I actually prefer the feeling of one person for life.

I don't understand why the author insists on depicting such disgusting plots. They're all the same: either corrupt officials demanding bribes or unreasonable, clueless people making trouble. Does this have anything to do with the tone of this food-themed novel?

This author is definitely not a new writer.

Like the protagonist, a chef—if he's from a town, there's a state-run restaurant; if it's a county, it's a county restaurant. You could write that the protagonist learned cooking for three to five years, even three years would be fine. You could also write that the master took a liking to him and helped him learn whenever he had time, even if it was useless afterward.

A few points: In 1982, Nanjing didn't have evening newspapers, and neither did Yancheng. It's highly unlikely that diners would claim to line up at 3 or 4 AM; people weren't that free back then. The mute woman should have told Xiao Gao she wasn't mute earlier, and her mother should have taken the initiative to tell her. The author's writing is good, but the plot has several flaws.

It's so unappealing that I don't want to click on it. I haven't read four chapters yet, and I have absolutely no desire to go in.

Li Qingqing's deliberate appearance was a real blunder. Her attempt to show off was so forceful and awkward; it was truly embarrassing to watch. She could have appeared ten years later, in the 1990s. Being tall, composed, and a good cook—those things weren't impressive enough, especially since 1983 was the time for initial accumulation of wealth, followed by rapid growth until the 1990s when she…

Why does it feel like the author is depicting a corrupt country? Some people are even comparing it to the Republic of China era. I'm completely confused while playing on my phone.
