I’ll give the story 2 stars at least for the authors work on the translation, but the story itself can be quite annoying. Firstly, this is a Chinese Story, translated from MTL to here, and with that this story has quite a bit of “China is superior” rhetoric. A few examples of this is the MC saying he’s from a “superior culinary nation” (China) and how earlier than that statement, he was speaking about how Japan can’t make certain pancakes the way they can in China. Beyond that, there’s some plot holes in the story. The main character is supposed to be from the Tang dynasty in China, yet seems to have knowledge about WebNovels, and even Food Wars as a whole. On top of that, the main character runs a restaurant and openly sells Sake (alcohol) to minors. All around, despite the translators efforts its pretty clear that Chinese nationalism is going to be quite present in this (but most likely dialed down by the translator, at least I would hope)

LIKENow I only look for stories where the main character is a manager or owns a business, because usually if the main character tries to become stronger, they become overpowered or the plot helps them too much. A week ago, I found a story about making mechas on YouTube to listen to, but halfway through it started talking about China, empire, Americans, 'China will be the origin of the mechas.' In the end, I couldn't take it anymore and dropped it. I'm Latino, and I don't care if they make fun of others, the problem is when you put someone above the rest. It's understandable that if you're talking about your country, you give it some favoritism, but we all know that just as they have points in their favor, they also have points against them. At one point, they were centralizing the study of mechas in China, monopoly, and they were openly mocking and belittling Americans by presenting the first foreigner as a lunatic who threatened everyone with his superiority. In all mecha stories, it’s never about monopolizing but about globalizing quickly. In a global invasion, reinforcing your country is the stupidest idea, although I left the story before the invasion started, from what was mentioned before, it seemed they were going to continue like that. I remember another one I dropped at chapter 2 because the main character received an all-powerful system that forced him to graduate from Harvard, and as his first mission, it asked him to return to his home country, China. I think that was the story I abandoned the fastest due to nationalism to date.
Los chinos casi no tienen contenido que no sea plagiado de otro contenido chino, como tal, después de hacer 100 fanfic diferentes, todos los demás resultados son casi iguales, Es diferente a Japón, dónde, aunque ya no son tan originales, al menos tienen Miles de historias diferentes, Japón domina por mucho el mercado de novelas y mangas, ni hablar del animé, es gracioso, que incluso haciendo fanfics de historias japonesas, todavía son plagios de ideas de otros fanfics y historias chinas, he encontrado escenas de fanfics de diferentes historias, que tienen exactamente la misma trama, ideas, desarrollo, etc, los que es un plagio tan descarado que te hace abandonar inmediatamente, es increíble que lleguen tan lejos, es como si estuvieran desesperados por alguna razón.
