As many others have said this story is really reallly slow, the plot is so so, but is a heartwerming reading for passing the time too? Well for me this novel is a daily life of a lady that is a reincarnated foodie, and I mean it when I say "daily life" 'cause the chapters are basically every day of the MC since she was 7 years I guess? We have fillers (chapters with different POV) too and some times its quite long story. Also that explains the story plot?... more>> 'Cause we don't have major or exciting things happen so often. Most of it is about the MC wanting to eat food from her previous life and doing anything to get her goal, sometimes she cause troubles too but we don't have a really big conflict. After reading until C414 I can say that finally she went to the school (that she was talking about going since c50 I guess?) So its really slow. But I laugh in a lot of chapters and I like it the mofumofu part and also the MC ingenuity that really is an airhead for the proper knowledge of her new world in some parts. But its quite nice to read. About plot development I have a felling that the author is kinda creating the conflicts as the story goes? We have a principal conflict i guess but the story is so slow paced and the MC somehow naive that we can fell like it was forgot? And the MC is just living trying to avoid the principal conflict and trying to get her hearts desires? without knowing that her actions are changing other people thoughts and lifes indirectly.

Spoiler

although she finally gets told by her fellow reincarnated friend in >c350 that her way of eating rice was spread to the commoners and because that they have a better way of living. In arround C300 she also creates a smoking factory? And helps people to get new jobs and more requests for adventures. Although she is developing the place she creates a lot of troublesome situations and doesn't talk before with a proper adult because she is afraid that they will forbid her to do it. So she doesn't act as an adult at all, more like a teen.

So if you wanna some isekai-foodie-mofumofu-slowpaced-kindafun story this one is for you ?? <<less

It's a slow life writing about fluff and being a prodigy using your modern NIPPON knowledge in gaijin medieval setting. I share the MC's disappointment when the capital served her dishes that she invented instead of learning of various fantastic european food.

If you want a slow warm fluff of the 1st sentence of this review then this novel... this is for you.

What turned it from a solid 4* into a sad 2* is the MC's lack of self awareness... and refusal to learn. Is this how being old will do... more>> to you? You refuse the reality that you have basically revolutionized food industry, is blessed with gorgeous looks, and has magic capacity that you have been told to put shame to the magic military's own head. I just want a slow life and good food. It does make for a character flaw, but damn is it really hard to read after the 5th time she does something outrageous in that world's standards... then proceed to not even bother to learn what the standards are. MC's supposed to be an adult yet her selfishness is on par of that a child. I guess it fits her physical age. <<less

There's... really not much of a story. It's always about food, and the story feels too shallow. Even for me who enjoy the occasional slice of life, it's too food focused and about gaining back the Japanese food she was used to in her old life. Now I've read some good cooking novels out there that make my mouth water, but this isn't even one of them.

The other characters aren't important at all and don't feel like they have a real personality, their interactions might as well not be there.... more>> You can just put up a wall and she'll keep on having her conversation without noticing. If you're into that kind of thing, or just want to waste your time, then-... no, I don't recommend it after all. <<less

Just the usual light story with reincarnated MC with knowledge and OP magic as the cheat.

Until the latest chapter I read (ch248), there doesn't seem to be any hint of plot, and the story itself is kind of repetitive.

But the story itself is entertaining, heartwarming, funny and the characters are adorable.

If you're looking for an unforgetable and epic story, unfortunately this novel is not for you. But if you only need some dose of sugar to relieve your stress, then I'd recommend this novel.
