lilithespark's manga / #cooking(31)

I really liked this manhwa as a whole. At its a core, it's about competition, going head to head with other chefs and reaching for your dreams. And (obviously) food. It was entertaining reading the step by step process for how the MC prepared the food to serve the judges. Plus, the art looked frankly mouthwatering. Given its rather short time span, of course, all of the characters didn't get the limelight they deserved. Even after its supposed completion, I really would like to know more about Anderson and his situation with his family. I kind of expected the ending, but it also felt sudden. The romance is relatively subtle and not top obtrusive to the plot. But will the MC ever achieve his dreams? It's a pity we cannot see more of the Mc's journey because, really, this was just the start.

The translation gradually gets better. For the first portion, you can just turn your brain off and get through it relatively easily. It’s enough to somewhat understand. Anyway, I thought that this was pretty good. It’s a nice slice of life manga where you get to see a lot of deliciously drawn food! I wouldn’t take this too seriously. The MC just accepts how he’s in another world without rhyme or reason and starts bringing ideas over from Japan. He’s OP ofc, but he uses his abilities for other things. I like that he’s a guy who’s into traditionally feminine things. Makes his character likable, and I also enjoyed the theme where you shouldn’t force your beliefs on others. I very much agree with that sentiment. The art and setting’s good, characters are funny and likable, and this is just an enjoyable, light read.

I really like this manhwa because it feels so real… Like the characters. I was at first drawn to this because it was about a food show obviously, but I really like how the author portrays the leads’ relationship with one another. And I love the food as well. It almost feels like you could walk past one of the leads on the street and never even notice. It’s extremely well written and an enjoyable, immersive read.

HELP. Misunderstandings galore, but I’ll forgive it since this is a rom com. They’re so cute, but they’re such idiots it’s a little hard to read. “Unrequited love” my arse. I love their bickering; this is my fave type of dynamic.
