This review may discuss plot details.
(Forgot the chapter dropped, so selecting S1's finale chapter) . This story has a bumpy start, but for those that love isekai/life redo tropes, it's easily persevered without much concern. Unfortunately, it seems the author was just throwing whatever they could for views. Negligent family? Taking over they body of a lonely brat? Cooking? No, wait, Saint? Magic? Trade? And that's just some of the attempts to maintain interest. Overall, the story had a basis of FL isekai'ing into her new body as the neglected granddaughter in a family that places emphasis on the ability cook. If not that, then anything showing competence. So, withknowledge of her pre-isekai life, FL successfully gains a new reputation in the family. In fact, she finally receives love that the original owner of the body was refused.
But then, the focus is stolen from anything food-related and is instead a whole new issue. And, magically, FL has the ability to do something that saves her family from a trade/power disaster. Not only had this come from nowhere, but it was suddenly the most important story. And cooking was no longer even discussed, let alone shown.
