Fully translated novels to read. F/M. - Not Romance focused

Novels with a focus on food, cooking, running a food business or just simply cooking for pleasure full of descriptions to make you drool

I have read some of them, but not all . They are slow life no harem, no big dramas,some to none romance. Some are BG,Bl,Gl,... more>> or even no romance; so check the individual tags <<less

Do recommend me some novels that have OP fmcs, strong fmcs (physically/mentally) or smart ones which you think need to be here..... more>>

 (It's been a long time so I'm not familiar with the newer posted novels.) <<less

NOT RANKED BY NUMBER. Lots of diversity in the novels. Different kinds like zombie apocalypse, horror, or light-hearted reads like comedy and romance. They all have their own quirks and differences, but one thing that they all have in common is that they are strong in their own way, and they are all female leads. Mentally, physically, talent-wise, etcetera. Some have romance and some don't.  If that's your cup of tea, go right ahead! I don't put bad novels on this list. So read them all. 3/5+ stars only!... more>>

My very own FMC romance scale:... more>>

(1/8) No romance at all, literally zero --- 

(2/8) Very little romance it's basically negligible --- 

(3/8) Some romance but it's not the focus (FMC is the focus still) --- 

(4/8) Equal parts romance to other aspects, but ML is nice so it's alright --- 

(4.5/8) Equal parts romance or ML appears as much as MC but MC is the dominant one/stronger than the ML ---

(5/8) Romance is a big portion of the story or the ML appears as much as the MC and it's not her own story anymore, more like their shared story --- 

(6/8) ML appears so much is the MC even still the protagonist at all?

(7/8) MC is smart but in front of the ML becomes a dumb dumb / MC is strong but in front of ML becomes a doormat - immediate dropping of the story --- 

(7.5/8) MC is strong but ML is stronger and she can't escape his grasp everytime - the imbalance makes me curse and swear --- 

(8/8) MC is totally useless without ML and always needs his saving. Why is she even the MC?

Of course this list won't include all of the above, just up to maybe 3 or 4/8 at most. I just wrote down the scale for my own use. <<less

Various genres. I prefer smart, calm, or easy going characters. Not much dog blood found here. All the novels where the translation is incomplete, I finished reading via MTL and found the MTL very understandable. The quality of the novels in this list ranges from 3-stars to 5-stars, but I found them all enjoyable reads and would re-read them again. <<less

I'd say, every novels that i've... more>> touched figuratively speaking doesn't matter if its good or bad, complete or incomplete,  translated or not i will still put it in here. You find your own ways on how to find and read it. Plus we each have our own different opinions and perspective in things so my thoughts on the stories are just there to maybe guide you a little bit or something in terms of my own personal view? I dunno, you have your own taste so do I...anyways, as per usual, gonna add some novels from time to time, follow and be updated and check-out my other works or lists on my profile. Thanks. <<less
