I have read this book quite further using SYSTRANS.
Spoiler

Story starts out fine but as plot progresses, MC becomes increasingly ruthless. Eg: MC searches for a Job, a restaurant owner insults him and doesn't hire him. Pissed, MC goes back in night to kill that person.

When I read the scene, I was seriously distressed. Do people in China think such behavior is GOOD?

Similarly their are couple of more incidents like this. It really put me off the book.


Chef is someone who feeds others, not kill others on smallest issue.

Reading SkyFire Avenue made you feel like the author really wanted to write a cooking novel... Well here it is! So far its readable, but the generic honorable genius main character is too bland for me

One of the good xuanhuan novels which I have read where people actually behave like human beings. It has a mixture of both cooking and fighting. You will read about the MC getting his god like weapons and using them as kitchen knives. Lol I know it sounds weird but it is very interesting. MC character can be said to be very mature but he does behave childishly. It doesnt have too much slaughtering for a change as most people are not ret*rds and act cautiously. MC only kills those... more>> who have crossed his bottom line. One of the best parts about this novel are the characters. The females have a well defined background and each have very interesting characters. Another good part how the cooking competition is described in a xianxia style. All in all this novel is a very good read with not too many chapters so you will not regret either way. <<less

I read ahead a bit with MTL but dropped it recently. despite the title this isn't actually much of a food series. it's certainly no God of Cooking or Gourmet Of Another World.

This is an ok story for what it is. could be so much better if the author had written about the fusion of cooking and magic all the way through rather than making a rather stale mainstream harem xuanhuan in the end.

For the people saying this is aimed at women...... are you nuts?! most women I know dislike... more>> harem novels; the whole multiple wife/s*x partners is rather repulsive. not only that, it has one of those 'accidentally r*pe the girl and she falls in love with you' scenarios; another thing that most women are really not ok with (even if its fiction) but that is almost guaranteed to show up in every Chinese cultivation novel with harem in the tag.

On a personal level I'm fairly disappointment with this story. the author is hit or miss for me, but I started it because I liked some of his other works only to feel let down by the way it turned out. sadly, I think I prefer the forced romance from childhood (DD, DD2, shen yin wang zuo) with its ridiculous and repetitive sacrifice/ amnesia/ insert-cliche-here used to separate the two for half of the series instead of his harem novels. <<less

I like this one the least of all of TJSS's novels. Have read quite a fair bit using the RAWs.

The character is too generic / bland; what should have made him unique (magic chef) is neglected at some point in the story, after which it becomes your usual conflict. It was fine before that, the marriage of knife skills, magic, etc to cook up stuff was interesting, but it fell flat from there

There is a kind of r*pe scene, where the MC and one of his female opponents get exposed to an aphrodisiac. Totally unneeded, IMO, and the resulting scenes after didn't make too much sense.

Its quite good actually. An interesting spin on the Xianxia/Fantasy genre by our very own Tang San. The releases are quite random but the story is excellent and worth the wait. No spoilers from me... just read the damn novel bub.

As the story progresses, it's more and more noticeable that this is a white knight story targeted to female readers, and explicitly only female readers.

Cooking, the xianxia elements, adventure, everything is secondary to the MC being gallantly at the beck and call of every female character the story introduces as a reader avatar, no matter how little sense it makes in the overall context of the story or the MC's mission.

Pretty decent, enjoyed reading it, so why not give it a try. If you liked any of the other novels by tjss than you will likely enjoy this as well.

btw I know this review is very shallow, but it brings about to the point, there are flaws with certain characters even with the MC when he got to the restaurant, but was enjoyable, but I guess most of tjss novels are usually best read in batches...

It look promising, but I got tired after only 17 chapter.

I don't mind with MC that is overly genius, I also like it that he knows his limitation and not jumping into unneeded trouble, wait patiently until he is strong enough to take revenge.

However, he just need several days to make beautiful girls swoon with his "handsome" appearance. The father of one of the girl don't mind him alone in his daughter's room, with him hiding on her bed, because he is handsome. OK, what?!

Also, want to kill a person responsible for your parent's death is one thing, but actually killing a person just because they insult your appearance? It was too cruel.

Started of with good potential. But gone downhill instantly. A ruthless MC who kills randomly anyone who provokes him. Does not have strong character. Sometimes he is ruthless, sometimes he is kind. Show off. Everything seems like a just wanna be story. It does not make sense. Just watching it for knifes. Arbour seems to be a novice writter. Although he is popular, but can't accept this novel is good.

Love TS3S work, a chinese approach to a cooking / love / magic novel, can see this work picked up for animation by the media conglomerates. The fusion of cooking and magic give this a unique spin. I had to read the novel instead of waiting on the manhwa!

Compared to most people who stopped reading this book, I'm only on chapter 14 which on my end had already taken me four hours of reading. But we all know that the reasons why most people dropped this book happened much later than where I'm currently at, but at this point, I already lost much interest.

First up, the first chapter was quite interesting. I got hooked when he was only a kid and he was learning how to cook. As someone who was talented in cooking and was thinking of... more>> writing a cooking subgenre in my books, it did get my attention. The cooking itself, though offered little detail to the process itself, was accurate enough to be believable from a chef's perspective for me. But as the story goes on, it became quickly apparent that the purpose of him being a chef had become lost. First, it was because it has no soul. His cooking was as passionless as it could be.

The MC did not have any intention of learning the craft on his own or being awed with the craft. He was given the chance to cook and he took it, but even through it, it felt like he was only doing it because he was taught to, not because he wanted to. He has no passion for eating, he did not crave the very essence of cooking which was to satisfy one’s palate, the drive to fill one's stomach, the satisfaction of being full, and to satiate one’s craving. He just cooks. He may have had the skill to do it but it was bland. It did not have the soul like Campire Cooking, Cooking in the Dungeon, Magical Restaurant, and other novels with cooking as a sub genre. It was needless. He could just eat a random bun and I think the essence of what the author wants to write would still be complete.

Another reason I dropped it is that it is starting to get boring. Stripped of any cooking parts, the novel and its motivation was really unoriginal. The magic system was a typical xianxia or xuanhuan trope; it was already hashed with different books. The novelty of the fire and ice combination did not hold that much wow effect. For all its worth, Aang of Avatar, could do half of the elements of what he could do. It was not imaginative enough. It’s basically a fire user and ice user combined in one body with the motivation of revenge.

Which leads us to the overall motivation of the book, revenge.

Revenge was the most used motivation writers have used since the dawn of writing. It was still effective even in today’s times, but you need to have exceptional writing skills to handle that motivation. It needed a psychological process to hook up the readers to feel the need for revenge. There’s several ways but the author doesn’t know about it. It was just plain revenge. Kill the enemy and that’s it. Which was predictable already from the start. He’ll either forgive them or exact his revenge.

Revenge alone is not a powerful motivation. Even the thirst for power is missing. He wanted to be strong to exact his revenge, not because he wanted power alone. It was a means to an end. Which made the story unhuggable. They should have made a compelling goal and motivation for readers to be interested in the story.

It was a decent read from the start but it was not compelling once his mindless wonderings happened.

I did read the part where he brutally killed a person just because he disrespected him that a lot of reviewers found cruel. For me, it was a s*upid decision and full of impulsivity but in no way I questioned that decision. For one, that person did attack him as a way of shooing him away. He stated that he could lose his shoulder if he took it. I just thought, he killed him because he tried to kill him first. But yeah not a smart move, in the end it was only a plot device.

From where I am reading, I already see the head of harem in this book. I guess that was one of the reason why I was about to drop it. I don’t like harem but actually its more like I don’t like poorly-written harem. I get that he was handsome but girls just kept falling in love with him. For simple reasons too, like they saw him cook, or from his show of power. That’s not how you write it. In the end the characters would just feel poorly written.

I did read the other reviews and it further cemented my decision to drop it.

Well, it was okay, but it was not entertaining enough. <<less
