While this novel is quite good, it has some nationalism content. To be more specific, it's about Li ziqi's video in which she made kimchi, a Korean national dish but claimed it's from China. The relationship between China and other Asian countries has been tense recently because China claim that others culture is theirs. Anyway, the author support the notion that Kimchi is from China so for me even if the novel is entertaining, it's a nope.

Well from your name you're obviously a China fan so I won't bother. Even if the world picked vegetables don't directly translated to kimchi because the mtl is wrong, it doesn't matter because "one of our food blogger" is obviously li ziqi. Because I'm from a neighbor country to China, I know more about their situation than you, this is just one of many times they try to steal other cultures by vague words. Well, if you went to qidian, you can even see a anti-japanese genre which shows how hostile the Chinese are.

I seem to remember that there was some conflict between china and korea about the origin of kimchi, something that china sees it as variation of one of their traditional foods

Just to chime in on this, for people outside of Asia it might be obvious that Kimchi is Korean, but the truth is that in those countries this is something that is widely disputed by experts in the field from both sides. Regional cuisine, especially in places with similar cultures, that are very close together or have a historical rapport of interaction have many of those conflicts. Like the croissant between France and Austria, or Kebab between Greece and Turkey. The reason for these disputes is often because both parties have a dish that is either very similar or that is identical but use a different name or a slightly difference process for it. In this situation, while Korea has Kimchi, China has the Pao Cai, which is also a Chinese term for Kimchi. To us, outsiders, it might seem to be something obvious, but to them it is a disputed thing. It is not just blatant "nationalism" or an outright lie. There are plenty of good arguments on both sides. In the end, it all comes down to their own personal traditions and it is hard to say which one came first and which one doesn't when both sides have such old cultures with so many years of history. Maybe one side copies the other, maybe they both happened to develop the same dish under different names. Who knows. It certainly isn't something that is worth having such a fight over when not even experts can prove with 100% certainty. Thanks.

This novel surprised me greatly. I'm not sure what I expected going into this story, but I wasn't expecting to enjoy it so much. This was an incredibly relaxing story to read. Usually when I get sucked into a story it's because it's exciting or I'm intrigued to know more, but the best way I can think of to describe this story was I was comfortably snuggled up in bed and didn't want to get up. Characters - We'll start with the MC. Probably what makes you feel relaxed the most. He's a very peaceful and spiritual person, very knowledgeable, and handles life in a smooth manner as is fitting of his raising. He follows his heart and just his way of handling life is something that I really wish I had in my life. The side characters are significantly better than you'd expect from a livestream audience. While only a few of them have been named or interacted with, there is still subtle details and character hidden in the interactions. I'm hoping some of these characters stick around long term to watch the MC's rise. World - World building is a bit slack here, but it's not something to dock the story on. It's a modern day world, probably Earth, and that's about it. This isn't really a story that so far has needed extensive world building and background though, and what is needed exists. Style - This is where the story shines for me. The relaxed feel, the smooth information and knowledge dumps, the details about nature and the world around the MC. All of it just combines to make this story really stand out to me. Overall - I'm off to find and read the MTL after posting this. Hopefully it's not too bad, because I really want to just keep reading. I haven't felt this good after reading something in a long time. No excitement or heart racing, just want to keep staying in this comfy bed a little longer.
