To those unaware, this story, although appears to have a modern setting, actually has slight futuristic undertones. Knowing this, the story does not center around its futuristic setting but uses it to help the MC's and her antagonist skill of cooking seem more profound and unique. Throughout the story, especially in the beginning it can be quite confusing because the setting of the story is not touched upon until chapter 150+, so we as readers are left guessing as to what's going on. Later it's explained that this current setting takes place at least 2 thousand years into the future. To go into further depth, the author goes to explain that "Something" has happened to earth which has made it inhabitable. Due to this "Something" mankind had to leave their planet Earth. Mankind then hopped from place to place multiple times until finally ending up on a... something? Well, in doing so much jumping around, over time their earthly resources had been gradually lost. Which explains why Chinese herbs, fruits, or some vegetables have become extinct in the novel's setting. There could be other missing resources but since I have yet to read that far by MTL'ing the novel, I remain unaware at the current time. Now since mankind has lost a considerable amount of resources that were not only helpful in nourishment but in furthering medical research, humanity now has to live on fake nutrition and subpar Medicare. Yet even though their food has become bland and tasteless, humanity's technology has made a quantum leap, becoming so advanced that one can smell, even taste virtual food. (ಠ_ಠ...) Anyways I'll leave the review with just these few remaining words. Although the setting is futuristic, do take these word building facts with a grain of salt. So far from what I've read they are merely there to be used and not to further enhance the plot which remains a romance plot. Though I could be wrong, and I'd be more than happy to be wrong. Some spice added in is always nice. (￣▽￣)ノ ♥ヾ(๑❛ ▿ ◠๑ ) All in all, a decent novel I can recommend to any casual readers out there.

i really like your review style not like the 95% of "OMG🤩 i love this novel so much💘"with millions like...🙄
For my first review, this is a pleasant surprise, thank you. Though yes, I can't agree more, those types of reviews are...special and unique. Apologies for my impertinence, but you have to really like that type of tea to keep coming back for such subpar effort. Then again, some could like a story so much, they forget that a review is unlike a opinionated comment, its purpose is to informative not boastful. But what can you do, more power to them I say. xD
