Description

Links are NOT allowed. Format your description nicely so people can easily read them. Please use proper spacing and paragraphs.

A seafood chef inexplicably transmigrated into ancient times. Even though he landed in a family with a noble rank, and theoretically was supposed to be rich, the most valuable thing in the house is a grey donkey…

Su Yu stared at the sky helplessly; in order to support the family, he could only take up his old profession and go out to sell fish.

Unfortunately, the royal family selected concubines from both genders. Even as a poor noble, he had no choice but to attend…

DISCUSSION TOPIC: Will I be selected if I display my fish-slaughtering skills?

“Meow!” His Imperial Majesty shook his tail.

A Bland Dish Served Cold

I'm not someone who often writes reviews, but after reading this novel—and seeing mostly glowing ratings—I thought it might be helpful to offer a different take. Please take this as just a personal opinion; I genuinely respect that others may have enjoyed it more than I did.

I made it about two-thirds through before finally putting it down. While the premise was promising—a chef in a fantasy-historical setting, with potential for political tension, romance, and cultural exploration—the story never capitalized on that potential.

The world-building felt shallow,... more>> often acting as convenient set dressing rather than a fully imagined backdrop. There were hints of fantasy and court intrigue, but they stayed on the surface and weren’t explored in any meaningful way.

The characters, too, left me wanting more. The ML is the typical tsundere archetype and doesn’t develop beyond that. The MC is endlessly patient and hardworking but feels more like a plot device than a person with real depth or agency. I’ve read novels with flat characters before and still enjoyed them—provided the plot carried the story—but that wasn’t the case here.

As for the plot, it’s mostly a meandering slice-of-life narrative. It’s light, simple, and slow-paced, with little tension or momentum. If you're looking for something low-effort to read—say, a chapter a day without needing to keep track of much—this might suit you. But if you're expecting twists, development, or emotional investment, this one might fall short.

In short:

This novel is light and easygoing, which could appeal to some. But for me, it was too simple, too flat, and ultimately too bland to finish. I wouldn’t recommend it unless you’re looking for something very low-stakes and undemanding to pass the time. <<less

This is “What if cats rule the world” lol. The story is lighthearted and full of fluff and seafoods! Don’t dwell too much on the “reality “ There’s bound to have sacrifices in keeping the secret and balance in peace. The story only focus on the life of the kitties and why they are there and of course the MC daily fluffy struggle of feeding the cats and take care of his own cat daye. Lol. I love the cats playful antics. Even the older cats just like the kittens.... more>> The author small theatre were so funny, I enjoyed it very much. Thank you translator for bringing this one to us.
