It was honestly hard to read. I couldn't even reach the moment when MC and ML meet. (spoilers for the first 5-7 chapters) So, MC transmigrates into the future, and suddenly he is introduced to a handicapped civilization that has vegetable oil and has pans, but only boils all of their vegetables, despite being massive foodies. And that civilization even let humans (you know, the creatures that will happily fry anything from a banana to a freaking oreo) live on their planet for the sake of good food, but only the high-tech researchers survived, and as everyone knows all smart people are utterly incompetent when it comes to cooking and gardening (it is literally forbidden to be extremely smart AND a functioning adult at the same time, right?). And all of the recipes and millions of online and offline learning materials on agriculture were wiped out why exactly? Anyway, MC makes potato fries (without even any salt) and popcorn (incorrectly) and those aliens first look down on him, then they are completely addicted. Typical. But it's n0t enough, a few more people have to jump out and try to degrade MC to let MC slap their faces (which he did in a very bland but also chuuni way) and to show how the odds are completely against him. So, MC quickly charms the stomach of ML with the power of a very mediocre meal and starts his road to the top as the master of... nothing in particular. He can make some food. Then he gets pregnant. Does that count as character development?
