   Hm, sorry to say, but this is not for me.
   For once, the art is just too weird – I can feel nothing but pity for this extremely skinny female lead, she looks like a starved child to me, her arms and legs resemble thin sticks 🙁
   Then there’s this super weird guy (one of the male leads I guess?) who can’t even come up with logical reasons for her to leave this place, and I get that she is refusing his request to come with him, even though her life isn’t going well.
   But then why is she suddenly following him through the portal only after he’s gone? From chapter 8 to 11, she’s then stranded all alone on an island, which I find really gruesome, although she’s showing her competence and saving herself…
   Well, at least the whole story does not use any tropes or clichés up to this point!
   However, next the female lead is receiving help by beastmen on a ship, very cliché ones too, and one of the leaders there is immediately insulting her just for being a human, which I really hate.
   From then on we learn that basically nobody on this whole strange world can cook anything tasty. On the ship, the chef is bad at cooking, so that makes sense, her first boss too. But in the city after that – why does all the food look like contemporary meals and pastries, etc., but everybody says how bad the food tastes? Is it a curse?
   Only the female lead’s cooking is delicious of course. And EVERYONE loves whatever she makes!? It’s a common but super illogical and very stupid trope in all cooking-based isekai stories. Except for the “The Chubby Villainess’ Restaurant”…
   And then there’s stuff like croissant (in chapter 22) that looks like it’s been properly made from layered dough, which includes a lot of butter (and I should know after learning to cook and bake on a professional level for 3 years), but they say it’s “dry”? Maybe it’s just the artist, but I’m feeling a bit punked here.

   Lol it’s interesting so far
   Art style is cute and pretty imo
   The fl is cutesy too
   “Nemo” is cute lol
   I just wonder how she’s so thin even though she’s a cook. If I knew that many delicious ass recipes I’d be fat asf but hey she probably practices self control and mostly serves her masterpieces to others instead of eating them by herself!
   Anyway.. (POSSIBLE SPOILER???) The gel thing “Nemo” ate, it looks like a bunch of clay and dirt slimes forced together, YUCKY!! And wtaf?? His group (idk, higher ups??) beat him up just because of eating good food? Ugh
   I can’t imagine getting beat up because of that cuz I’m such a foodie
   I’m in chapter seven so far. This caught my attention so I’m gonna try and find other sources if they have more chapters
