Description
Marquess Lysette was robbed of her saintly power as well as her fiance by her sister. She has also been stripped of her title for a crime she did not commit, and is now abandoned in the dungeon. It was practically a death sentence, but with the initial skill【Noble-Bloodline】, the skill points she gained were tripled, and she was able to solo through the dungeon quickly and easily with the skills 【Total-Attack Magic】 and 【Preemptive-Action】. But the food problem stood in Lysette’s way. “… I wonder if monsters can be eaten… H-How delicious! Alright! From now on, I’ll just enjoy the dungeon’s blessings!” Lysette loves her life in the dungeon, where she cooks monster dishes for the adventurers she meets. Meanwhile, her sister, the Saint, was experiencing a mysterious weakening of her powers.

Abandoned Lady Awakened in the Dungeon – Sacred Mark? A True Saint? No I Am Just a Monster Foodie! Review & Spoilers - Novel Translator
My Thoughts on Abandoned Lady Awakened in the Dungeon – Sacred Mark? A True Saint? No I Am Just a Monster Foodie!
Okay, let's dive into "Abandoned Lady Awakened in the Dungeon – Sacred Mark? A True Saint? No I Am Just a Monster Foodie!" It's a mouthful, I know, but the title pretty much tells you what you're getting into. Overall, I found it to be a fairly enjoyable, if somewhat flawed, read.
First Impressions
My initial impression was that this was going to be another cookie-cutter "wronged woman seeks revenge" story. And while the initial setup does lean into that trope, it quickly shifts into more of a dungeon-crawling slice-of-life adventure, with a heavy emphasis on… monster cooking! Yes, you read that right. The description really undersells the importance of food in this story.
What Works Well
The biggest draw for me was the MC. She's got a certain charm, a delightful air of a middle-class Japanese girl, that makes her quite endearing. She's not just some generic noblewoman; she's got a personality, even if sometimes it feels a little contradictory. I also appreciated that the revenge plot didn't drag on forever. The story focuses more on her freedom and personal growth, which was a refreshing change.
The "chill" vibe is another strong point. If you're looking for something easy to read and not too taxing on the brain, this fits the bill. The translation quality is also great, which always helps with immersion.
Areas of Concern
Now, for the not-so-great parts. The plot can feel rushed and underdeveloped at times. Some of the battles are over almost as soon as they begin, leaving me wanting more. The characters, aside from the MC, can be a bit one-dimensional, and the world-building is minimal. There's also a lack of tension; I never really felt like the MC was in any real danger. The ending of the first arc could also feel a bit abrupt and unsatisfying.

Final Verdict
"Abandoned Lady Awakened in the Dungeon – Sacred Mark? A True Saint? No I Am Just a Monster Foodie!" is a decent, light read, especially if you're into cooking and dungeon crawling. Don't expect a complex plot or deep characters. It's more about the journey and the delicious-sounding monster meals along the way. I'd give it a solid 3.5/5 stars – enjoyable but with room for improvement. If you're looking for something fluffy and easy to digest, this might just be your cup of tea (or bowl of monster stew!).
