My Thoughts on Reborn – Super Chef
"Reborn – Super Chef" had me intrigued from the start with its unique premise. A world where a virus has decimated meat consumption, and our protagonist, a reincarnated master chef, is the only one who can revive lost meat dishes? Sign me up! However, as I dug deeper, I found myself both delighted and slightly frustrated.
First Impressions
The initial hook is strong. The idea of a parallel world grappling with the aftermath of a "vegetarian virus" is certainly different. I was immediately curious about how society adapted and the culinary landscape evolved. The cover art gave me pause, I thought it was going to be like another parody novel but I was wrong!
What Works Well
The core concept of the MC using his past life's culinary knowledge to introduce meat dishes to a meat-starved world is where the story shines. The slice-of-life aspect, showing him interacting with his new family and navigating this unfamiliar world, adds a heartwarming touch. The author clearly puts in effort to research the dishes, making the cooking scenes engaging, even if they aren't as detailed as some gourmet novels. I enjoyed the MC's journey as he climbed the culinary ladder, using his skills and experience to impress those who initially underestimated him.
Areas of Concern
The world-building definitely has some issues. The virus itself and its impact on society can feel a bit contrived. The star system for chefs and age restrictions also felt like an artificial way to suppress the MC's progress. The author created these things to keep the MC from getting too famous too fast. While I appreciate the attempt to create conflict, it came off as a bit forced.

Final Verdict
Despite its flaws, "Reborn – Super Chef" offers a unique and enjoyable reading experience. If you can suspend your disbelief and overlook some of the world-building inconsistencies, you'll find a charming story about food, family, and second chances. I'd give it a solid 3 out of 5 stars. It's not a masterpiece, but it's a fun and engaging read for those who enjoy cooking-themed novels with a slice-of-life twist.
