My Thoughts on I Got Famous Making Cooking Livestreams In Space

This novel promised a lighthearted adventure, and for the most part, it delivered. "I Got Famous Making Cooking Livestreams In Space" follows a cooking school heir who finds himself transmigrated into the body of a D-list celebrity in a futuristic world where real food is a distant memory. Naturally, he starts live-streaming his cooking, and hijinks ensue.

First Impressions

Going in, I knew this was a fairly common trope – interstellar live-streaming. However, I was hoping for a fun, easy read, and that's largely what I got. The initial chapters hooked me with the MC's determination to turn his situation around and bring real food back to the masses. The cat-turned-human love interest was a cute bonus.

What Works Well

The core of the story – the cooking – is genuinely enjoyable. The descriptions aren't overly long or tedious, and there's a decent balance between the cooking segments and the overall plot. I also appreciated that the MC actively sought revenge for the original host's unfortunate situation. The relationship between the MC and ML is adorable, especially the MC's clueless affection for ML's cat form. The MC's plant-based abilities are also unique and make for some interesting plot points. The story is generally low on heavy drama and the conflicts are resolved reasonably. The ending is satisfying and doesn't leave you hanging.

Areas of Concern

While enjoyable, the novel does suffer from some significant plot holes. The world-building is a bit shaky, and I found myself questioning the logic behind certain aspects, particularly the absence of plants and the source of ingredients. The MC's character consistency can also be a bit jarring. One moment, he's portrayed as sweet and naive, and the next, he's a master strategist. Also, some of the supporting characters feel underdeveloped and their actions don't always align with their supposed motivations.

Final Verdict

Despite its flaws, "I Got Famous Making Cooking Livestreams In Space" is an entertaining read if you're looking for something light and fluffy. Just be prepared to suspend your disbelief and overlook some plot inconsistencies. If you enjoy cooking novels with a shonen-ai twist and don't mind a bit of a formulaic plot, this might be right up your alley. I'd give it a solid 3.5 out of 5 stars.
