Now, sorry if my reviews are too long but, this story is great and was in my opinion, one of the best. It was high-quality and had barely any flaws and a good way to pass time, it's light-hearted and fun to read! I had a joy reading and be assured I actually read the novel, it doesn't back away from the original goal and Qidian chooses novels well! Here's why:
Translation Quality: Now, as we all know, Qidian has high-quality translations and I've seen no errors currently while reading this. It's been expected of Qidian and better translations means better quality and understanding. It makes it way easier to read, (compared to other translations I've seen on sites) and you should find no problems reading this.
Updating Stability: The translations manage to have good stability and quality while updating (which is as always expected of Qidian). The translation speed is a little slow but, it ties in with the updates for the raws. A translation frequency surpassing the release frequency of the original novel isn't good. Which is why I have no problems regarding this.
Story Development: The plot of the story is ******, cooking. Though it has times where it delves into other things, it's mainly about cooking. I like the simplicity and it explains well why these things happened and there aren't any info dumps telling you things that you wont need to know or repeated information. This is great since, (unless you're a cultivator) memorizing information only to find out you never needed to know it, isn't gonna make you happy. There are basically no tropes and the story follows the objective. The plot is outstanding, it's well explained, and unique.
Character Design: The characters have unique personalities and they aren't repeated, (unless you count arrogant young masters) though some characters don't have much background. The main characters and characters develop throughout the story and this can be seen if you pay attention. Although there isn't enough background information on some of the characters, it makes it up with plot and thought-out personalities.
World Background: The world is slowly introduced to you at good pace, I love how it's like that. Like usual, the world and cultivation systems are unique and are easy to understand. They don't diverge into information you don't need to know yet which makes it so much easier to know what's happening, and how the world works. This is wonderful and I liked how it did it at a reasonable pace.
Again, sorry if my reviews are too long, but Gourmet of Another World is a great story, and you should read it. I recommend this story at 4.8 stars!
