(Initial thoughts, might edit later) I like the story, it's centered on food. Not much is going on in the novel, so it's a pretty relaxing slice of life story. The pacing is realistic, the FL is not an OP Mary Sue which is always appreciated.Personally, the translation feels wonky to me. I don't know if it's MTL or not, but I can't immerse myself fully in the story because some parts are awkward to read. I feel like the translator could work on this or hire an editor, because the novel has a lot of potential.For example, adjectives are being repeated in a sentence and it makes no sense (paraphrased: "to be proficient, she needs to be proficient."). The FL is ranked higher in the novel's hierarchical structure, so her maids and servants act accordingly. It's weird for them to refer to their mistress as "the girl." Why not at least call her "Miss Su" or "Lady Su." Moreover, in Chinese, they tend to refer to themselves in the third person. In English it just sounds awkward. So maybe use a different way to at least allude to the sentence structure, such as "I, this s*ave, think that blablabla..."These are some of the parts I think could be improved upon. Of course, I am thankful for the translation. And another thing I personally dislike is the AI generated pictures. It adds no value to the story I much prefer the personal pictures and food videos at the bottom of each chapter.
