Mo Chu was a 20-something 21st century woman who switched into a 16 year old comatose young woman living 1000 years later.
Her previous body was born 15 years ago. Due to an incident, her previous body went into a coma when she was still an infant.
When Mo Chu woke up, the World had changed.
Outside the enclaves, animals and plants that used to be mild and docile prey became predators. Beasts that were legends came alive. Humans and beasts mutually hunted each other. Even the legendary elemental powers appeared vividly in front of her!
Humans lived in 12 enclaves governed by a federation. Females were few and well protected under federation law. Three families dominated the top echelon:
- the military Ning;
- the political Qin; and
- the medical Qiao whose interest laid in alchemy.
For the past hundred years, under the Federation, science and medical care had advanced, increasing longevity but there was no known cure to spark her previous body’s brainwaves which was flatlined. Food was scientifically processed ration capsules.
Fortunately, Mo Chu got a warm-hearted brother Mo Yang as soon as she woke up. He was a complete sister con.
Unfortunately, Mo Chu turned out to be the one in a billion with an allergic constitution, and 99% of the existing food was poison to her body.
But there was always a way out.
If she couldn't eat the existing food, couldn't she make some new things by herself?
So, French fries, grilled fish, beggar's chicken... all kinds of delicacies reappeared in the history of mankind a thousand years later.
As a foodie, Mo Chu was very satisfied.
But those around her......
"Wow! I feel like I have lived in vain for the past hundred years. This delicious food is simply amazing!"
"Not to mention the deliciousness, this food can actually increase the elemental energy in the body, which is better than other elixirs...... ”
This is 3rd Re-read. Previously was reading raw on different site and there were missing/reversed content from c104 onwards. Will update about this later.
⚠️ ALERT : Forgotten that the CEO Chase Wife trope emphasized strongly at the start but it would tone down after the relationship stabilized. Just a note. Read Cooking trope with pinch of salt. Me? I usually skip Romance scenes. 😜
REVIEW : Excellent opening, conveyed through dialogue and actions. Grabbed attention immediately. Okay fight scenes. Smooth and engaging storytelling, amusing tropes like cute familiars. Creative twist to main story arc.
SPOILER : At 38%, unexpected timeslip to past when zombies and mutants first appeared.
Astonished when another intense subplot introduced at 88% but all explained after 94%. Brilliant finale scene without much Mary Sue. Satisfying conclusion. Plus 1 🌟.
Natural dialogue flow with concise necessary background info and emotion. Really like how well author doled out necessary story progression info to forward storyline. Plus 1 🌟.
At 20%, love confession and kissing during training session unexpected. Changed timbre of story.
MTL was surprisingly smooth, just minor typos and some cultural logic hiccups.
Great world building given genre. Necessary info conveyed without feeling overloaded. Also liked how xuanhuan and mutant Superpowers blended as base for Ability System and the created Demon creatures. Really adorable Beast Companion scenes.
Some story discontinuity like how was someone who was comatose for 15 years since almost birth was able to speak. Acceptable though. How to close loophole?
Lovely characters, engaging and emotionally attached to what characters' fates. Actions matched Motivations.
closer to 4.5 than 5 so rounded down to 4 🌟.
Definitely Re-readable.
QUIT. Skipped many chapters because of unrealistic scenes and only read ending. Linear storytelling with plodding storyline and narration. Writing was disjointed and amateurish. Felt more like draft than ready to publish story. Pace was okay. Poor scene setup and poor use of plot devices. Show not tell. Background info was plopped rather than revealed through story. To Keep in TRASH folder.
I thought it could be translation and went back to. Raw and even in original language, there was that same plodding linear reader reaction.
Average world building given genre.
Characters were flatter than tissue with no reader emotional attachment. Character voice iffy. Irritable puppet main and support characters. Even the dialogue felt mechanical.
NOT Re-readable.
Good clipping pace, good writing and exciting storytelling. Excellent fight scenes and interpersonal tension. Excellent fight scenes. Great mysterious theme overlaying several progressive story arcs. Ending a little abrupt but satisfying.
Wonderful world building given genre. Liked the underlying premise of Apocalypse.
Characters were good, some emotional attachment. Actions matched motivations.
Definitely Re-readable.
Good writing, okay opening. Slow burn romance, quiet and inspiring. Not quite A+ story but was entertaining with reasonable length. Pace was uneven, sometimes slow as waiting for story to progress.
Okay world building given genre.
Characters were flat, no reader emotional attachment. Actions matched motivations.
Re-readable.
Good beginning but the opening village / family fight scene was not quite convincing, even somehow long-winded. The children's interaction was so cute and funny.
Great overarc and the connecting mini story arcs. Smooth scene transitions. Pace slowed after 2/3 through novel.
Abrupt ending. Felt like there was more to explore but discontinued. But still satisfying read. Closer to 4.5 than 4 but haves not allowed.
Good world building given genre. Liked how the mystic elements were combined with medicine and alchemy.
Characters were good. Strong in personality and likeability. Especially enjoyed the childish antics of Xinbao. Liked Father figures Qingshan and the Emperor. Actions matched motivations.
Definitely Re-readable.
