Potato is yum

So Qi scans is a relatively new site and is the result of a few prominent Chinese translation teams coming together to form one team. Some of the webcomics that they have put up are not formatted correctly and there are a bunch of minor issues with the site even after a few months from when the merger happened. Anyway, I assume not much will change so I’m going to start going through the list since it seems like Qi scans is here to stay.

I’m not an avid fan of portal fantasy and am generally pretty neutral when it comes to OPMC and the likes. Like all my reviews I’ll put up a warning here for spoilers. You can skip to the next separator if you don’t want any spoilers but there isn’t really much that I’m spoiling so it should be pretty safe to read.

The premise of the story is that some OP cultivator guy gets transmigrated into a portal fantasy and his only interest is his hobby of cooking horrible monstrosities. The story plays into one of the more typical methods of limiting an OP MC which is the trope where they want to avoid attention for some reason or another. In this webcomic, the reasons behind hiding a pretty well established and the threats are fairly understandable making me feel like the application of this trope is actually surprisingly well executed.

One of the biggest differences between this story and other action related OPMC stories is that this webcomic has the focus on the cooking rather than the action. The cooking drives the story and the action is almost always an afterthought to what the cooking will be. The amount of information fed to the reader is also done in a manner that prevents becoming overwhelmed and sets a very nice pace for the story.

While the art is not exactly unique, there is nothing inherently wrong with it and each panel feels like a great deal of care was put into it.

Overall I’d give this webcomic an 7/10 with 7/10 art. The only issue being the extremely predictable and repetitive nature of the story.
