I should have taken the description more seriously. The lack of a translated title also threw me off, but from my interpretation of the machine translated, it should be "The Reincarnated Young Lady is hungry for Commoner food".

Right, this is basically a "Sugoi Japanese food!!!!" story, where the main-character shows the brilliance of Japanese food to these poor Medieval European-esque people, whose food culture is somehow terribly underdeveloped compared to her superior Japanese cuisine.

The story itself is written alright, but I don't really like this type of story. I'll stick... more>> around, I guess. <<less

I have some mixed feelings about this. On the one hand, it's super cute and fluffy, hence the 4 stars. On the other, not only are there some plot inconsistencies ... more>>

(at first MC is considered special for being able to understand sacred beasts, only later everyone can understand them because of the deus ex machina of "I made it so they can understand me." Also, my original impression was that the sacred beasts were usually hidden in some sort of sub space, but later the MC has to physically hide them, so no?)

[collapse]

but also I can understand one of the other reviewer's criticism of "Japanese food banzai!" culture. I know that when I started eating Japanese food, there was a lot that tasted so strange to me, I couldn't tell whether I liked or disliked it. Yet everyone in the story immediately finds everything the MC makes to be so delicious, to the point of fighting over it. And I wish the MC would stop trying to make everyone eat raw eggs. I remember being given oyakodon while in Japan once, and no matter how everyone reassured me it was safe, I was so freaked out, I could barely stand eating the non-raw bits.

Also, the fact that no one ever questions how the MC got her knowledge about food unknown to her culture, even when she's touting its health benefits, seems far-fetched. Even the "Japanese"-ish people in this world don't really question it.

Still, this is a lighthearted, fun story.

Update for 174: to be honest, I'd now put this at 3 stars or 2 and 1/2. In the last 40 chapters I've gotten tired of this story, because of the points mentioned in justpassingt's review. While the story has always been food heavy, my impression is that food has slowly taken over the entire story. It was at least interesting when there was world building, but now it seems like 85% of the story is food, 10% is mofumofu centric, and 5% anything else (with perhaps 1% of the 5% being plot). I feel bad, since apparently 7 people liked my positive review, but I can't just keep quiet now that my old review is outdated.

Update for 193: I've kept reading, hoping I would come to enjoy the story again, but I really haven't. So, I'm going to stop. The past twenty chapters have been bacon obsessive, even when the chapters are about

Spoiler

going to the Adventurer's Guild

[collapse]

, it still boils down to bacon. Although I 100% do not understand why anyone would eat bacon and think "I need alcohol with this, " much less every single character who eats it in the story, including the underage MC. <<less

The MC is too selfish doing things without thinking about the consequences that she have done to her family. Sometime I dont event know if she a pig or human anymore. But the story is not that bad just hope she have more common sense in the future

Once again we see the major issue of over doing it. It's fine to put some emphasis on things but continuously repeating it over and over again is just annoying. The MC longs for food from her past life. Ok. But you don't need to express it again and again. We got it the first time. Also, authors who write this way tend to lack a plot of any kind. Like the heroin's quirk is the whole plot. No, really. That's all there is to the story. So the novel... more>> becomes boring and repetitive. The story lacks character development and all the characters are two dimensional, like cardboard cut outs. I honestly don't recommend this novel. <<less

It is a nice story but there are too much copy-paste. Basically, it is "MC wants to eat something - MC manages to cook it - MC introduces it to others - others say it tasty". This scenario goes for 200 chapters without any character development so far...

I wouldn't say it bad... But reading the same thing over a dozen of times without any changes is boring. It looks like slice of life but I don't have a feeling of life. All because of too much repeating with no changes.

Great story, simple, with some character development, heartwarming and funny. The MC does mess up many times due to common sense problems, however that is also part of the comedy. I don't get why so many haters left bad reviews, the story is well written, don't feel any confusion while reading, both author and translator are good.

The chapters are short, maybe one A4 page worth each, but the update speed compensates (Shinsori is one of the best translators I know, props there). Maybe some people would be let down by... more>> the silliness of the story, but I find it better than the dark theme of many other stories. <<less

This definitely does not deserve some of the critical views on it. It is a heartwarming, cute and easy read kind of story. The focus, of course, is central to food, the undertones of shoujo are there but at the point I am at, it's minimal. This is understandable as she's still a child. It is with an unbelievable amount of pleasure that I can however, inform you that the romance aspects do get stronger as the story develops.

The viewpoint is mainly from the MC, an atypical food obsessed oblivious... more>> reincarnated noble girl whose highest aspirations is to be able to eat well. She freely uses magic and is not too keen on manners. Reading about her is very charming. The other reviewers are harsh in their views about her character in that she is selfish and a glutton, this is false, her family and servants dotes on her and do their best not to indulge her. This becomes more aware during the progression of the chapters, the interaction between her family can be seen as comedic considering how the MC often gets them to see her side of things. The MC is not the most proper of people, but she is relatable in her desire to eat good food, and sweet as she likes it when the people who eat her food like it. In some cases I can say it reads a bit like "Kenkyo, Kenjitsu o Motto ni Ikite Orima" in its daily slice of life sort of style, however, the life part is a fantasy world with magic.

Overall, the MC is cute and funny though her self awareness leaves a lot wanting, in some cases this a charming point. The other characters have yet to be developed thoroughly as we only see through the MC's eyes but it is getting there as the author introduces other viewpoints. The childhood arc is slow to finish and the chapters are short, but the pace that it holds is still satisfactory as it doesn't rush into things too much. In total, I very much like this story and will be regularly checking it's updates as I am very excited to read the school arc- it will surely be even more exciting as she grows older. <<less

I really enjoyed the beginning of the novel but as it continues she just turns into mary sue the chef.

Tbh, I started reading this story with a light heart, not expecting much. But it has still managed to thoroughly disappoint me. Although there is Minimal plot development till where I have read, it is extremely hard to keep reading it, as it is mainly about food. Literally, its just about how the MC is longing for food--trying to make food--making food--Letting others eat it-- Others going crazy of how delish it is. There is NO chr development. NO Plot development. And minimal World building. I left it thinking I... more>> was only tired of the "food is everything" theme cuz I was binge reading it. But its still the same no matter how I try to read it. Its at a point where I wonder why a translator is putting so much effort into translating it so frequently- or rather, why he is translating it at all. Sure, it has a little fluff. But tbh, im just sick of all the food in this novel. After I read this novel I wasnt even able to enjoy the food descriptions in Transmigrator meets Reincarnator, which is an amazing novel, and the "food porn" is good too. This novel really ruined the experience. <<less

Im not saying this is bad story, but honestly its likely cooking novel warped in isekai material. And most of them I could felt as filler that even idk where's real plot or fillers.

Our MC is duke daughter who seemingly as master chef of japanese cuisine. Then most plot are about cooking, and how people enjoyed her cooking. Other character development are good altho its lacking (since everyone adores MC so they're retard) atleast im remember their name. The plot are damn slow, yet full of cooking. World building somehow... more>> unclear, maybe its otome game world, or isekai.. Theres also not villain appear in 300 chapter.

Honestly this isnt good read to marathon, you will easily get boring because endlessly cooking plot loop. But im manage to read till lastest release, with some break between my read. Personally im enjoyed this, tho sometimes make me bored. <<less

This is a very slow story, be warned. I am at chapter 261 but the MC is barely 10 years old and is months away from the School/Academy Arc. There is no plot yet, although I am hoping for a glimpse of it when she finally joins the academy.

For those 260+ chapters, all she did was obsessed about food. She yearns for ingredients from her old life. And unexpectedly (wow what a shock (not!)), she finds an entire store full of it. She feeds magical, sacred and divine beasts with... more>> her magic-infused japanese food, while other humans almost begs to eat her creations. Honestly, if you want more detailed reviews, read the others. But truly, be warned! You will either hate or love this. <<less

Somehow I feel the author doesn't quite understand the concept of reincarnation... or maybe it's just me?

Yes, the MC reincarnated into a duke's daughter, but from birth, and she doesn't remember her past life before the age of eight (keyword being remember, not death and takeover) - which means our little MC already had a personality, a child's traits and whatnot before her "wake up call". And yet, as soon as the MC remembers her past life she suddenly becomes the past life's personality, like a total takeover.

The author's use... more>> of reincarnation is one big failure and poorly executed. For that the novel only deserves one star if not actually none!

Dear author, your use of reincarnation would only make sense if the child, that the MC is, died, and then the body was taken over, but since that is not the case you can't just kill off the child's personality, traits and whatnot. The MC, as a child, didn't die!

But, since the story is cute, heartwarming and silly I give the novel three stars. <<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.
