Honestly, I am surprised by the negative reviews left on this LN. I could write out a little essay explicitly stating why but I'll keep it short. NOTE that the synopsis is basically what happens in the first chapter but not really the story as a whole. I would check out the Manga if I were you - if that doesn't get you wanting to read the LN, you should probably pass.Good:
Fun story
Fun characters (mostly MC and his tames)
Food stories make you want what he's eating
Best TL (grammatically correct, fast updates, reasonable TL edits, and if you read on Gumi's - KitchenNovel website, he/she pulls tons of pictures and context for the actual food/ drinks described.)
I've seen some reviews I disagree with. Sometimes descriptions go on a little long - even for food, but I think that's what makes my mouth water for the foods he cooks.Also, I want to point out the people who actually don't like the translations. WTF???? Kamikazedrew said that the translator is lazy because they cut out parts of the chapter. Completely wrong. If you read any of Gumi's translations on KitchenNovel, you'll know that he/she probably puts in more work translating than 99% of other translators. Gumi will make multiple footnotes and references for each edit. Gumi will often give an example of what the author sometimes writes verbatim which is just to reach the word quota that they have to achieve. They are often like: "He said I love food. The food was delicious and the MC loved the food." So he cuts that or whatever. If you read Gumi's translations, you'll know they flow perfectly fine and trim the excess of the narration and other information. Gumi is always in the footnotes giving both likable and fact-checking comments which is great. Maybe you don't like Gumi's personality but as free readers, to say that Gumi is lazy - that is disrespectful and borderline slanderous.
