didn't really feel the story was talking about cooking at all which surprises me with the title.The story feels more like 2 young teens having a good time together.The author shows that the MC knows how to cook and make ingredients like salt but he does nothing with that knowledge at all and just follow the chief and his daughter thats pretty much what i got for now.

Thanks for the review! Can i ask you question first? do you also read adorable food Goddess? or Gourmet from another world? If yes, then in AFG, aren't chunyu and yaoyao also almost do similar things like my story? i'm not talking the whole AFG story, but take first 20s chapter just like my story current release. Comparison should be apple to apple right? Compared with GFAW, the MC didn't have trouble with the ingredient, all he need already provided by system, and if i can say, the way GFAW author describe the cooking process is shallow, he only describe how the food look alike, AFG have better description on the cooking process. Now back the title, it's have a line 'building a nation', let me ask you what important thing to build a nation. what is that? land? money? no. the most important thing is people. Why i put the relation things on the early chapters? because that would be the foundation for the MC to live in the new world. he have no magic skill, no cultivation what soever, no fighting skill at all. he only know farming, smithing, and cooking skill which will become his ace to survive, and also other common knowledge from his previous world. And to build his nation, let's say it start from have relation with village people. About cooking, well since the most basic ingredient, salt is rare, how do you expect the MC to cook all the way with his limited salt inventory from his previous world. Please name any dishes that not use salt in cooking process then. He know how to make salt, but isn't the process need labor? where he can find the labor? he doesn't even have the money to pay the labor. The salt making start from chap 30s where they go to sea, planning how to make saltren (with some romantic scene too) and how to execute the plan. So far i can say that what i've wrote is only the skin, haven't reach the meat moreover the bone of the story. Thanks again for your time to read and write review, i appreciate that.

Sorry I don’t read food novels at all this is kind of a first so I have no reference point to base my opinion on I just went straight at what I thought about the story.

Thanks again for your comment. It's seems you're straightforward person who speak directly what's on your mind, i appreciate your sincerity. For that I also will tell you about how this story will develop in brief. Start with make foundation in village-maried local ruler-make new settlement-create industry (including food)-accept more people-create trade-saving wounded commander-build city-expanding-make kingdom-unite the continent. And that's will not end in hundred chapters only. Please remember this story setting is not in restaurant where the MC will cooking everyday, but a continent. I hope you satisfied with this answer :)
