Instead of becoming a live streamer or opening a restaurant right away she starts with a small street food stall then becomes a military chef and so forth. By the end of the story she's engaged in like 3 or 4 different food related businesses. Seeing her start from the bottom and slowly moving up is really gratifying because you can really enjoy her growth as a chef and a person. Furthermore, I like that the system doesn't just instantly give her godly cooking skills. It actually makes her work for them after intense periods of closed door training and shocks her with electricity when she messes up. Knowing how hard she has to work really makes you think she deserves the success she's later met with. Also, the system gives her interesting tasks and she gets involved in a lot of cool events like creating a night market for the troops.

FL was supposed to conquer the interstellar alliance and take down the food association that was amassing the recipes and only making it available to the nobles but FL just casually tamed the warcraft monsters and made friends with higher ups and other characters with status instead. The issue about the food association and how the common people weren’t able to have a taste of real food was explained in just a few sentences that seems to infer that it was just a misunderstanding and was never addressed even if that was the whole point of the system.

The ML was a great character but he suddenly fell in love with the FL and had interest in her because she looks like a “weak rabbit” and went on to have a marriage with the FL because of the child although it was explained by the author that he liked the FL not because of the child. Yet, there was no reason given at all on what aspect did he like about the FL when the FL was given a very lousy character description from he start.

This is evident with one instance in the novel where there was a 7-day exchange of some soldiers between barracks and (surprise) it was a few westerner soldiers who are very critical and whiny about everything and then (another surprise) gets tempted with how delicious fl’s food is. What’s worse? What happened after being so engrossed with the food was never stated. Did the western soldiers decide to stay in the eastern barracks? What was their position and how did that affect the other eastern soldiers? None. It ended just like that and was thrown at the back of everyone’s minds because the next instance has already started. This went on for almost all the events in the novel from the middle to the end of the story where the scene was left hanging just like that.

FL has wayyy more interactions with her apprentices as compared to her child who just gets vaguely stated as being carried here and there when the apprentices gets the lowest exposure in the novel next to the small antagonists. FL as a character is fine and it is stated and portrayed how she really cares and wants to be a great mother to her child. And this happens just once. Yes. Just once where a spoiled child was mentioned then it was vaguely solved by FL through her food and that’s it. The child is then left to the fl’s pet warcraft and robots to handle and take care of. There was no follow up nor childcare shown except carrying the child or coaxing the child to sleep (which was just stated by the ML in a few words mind you).

Her system allows her to train up to 5 star chef level. Apply beauty points to herself. Apply skill points to apprentices. But the thing that gets me is it helps her pair foods to beasts in order to domesticate them. Even variants of beasts that aren't future/beast versions of existing domesticated animals. It's just too over the top.

Her and him both have black out during that time period where she got up the duff. She ends up working with him and within days of her finding out she's with child they are hitched. It ends up being for sure biologically his, but you have to wonder about power of system/plot to where she ends up being a cook under him before all of that is figured out. A bit far fetched even for cheesy romance.
