My Thoughts on Tensei Saki de Suterareta no de, Mofumofu Tachi to Oryouri Shimasu Okazari Ouhi wa my Pace ni Saikyou Desu

First Impressions

Okay, let's be real, that title is a mouthful! But beyond the ridiculously long name, Tensei Saki de Suterareta no de, Mofumofu Tachi to Oryouri Shimasu (which I'm just going to shorten to Mofumofu Cooking from now on) had me intrigued from the start. The premise of a discarded noblewoman finding solace and strength through cooking and fluffy creatures? Sign me up! My initial impression was definitely positive – a lighthearted escape with a strong female lead.

What Works Well

What I really enjoyed about Mofumofu Cooking is Leticia's character. She's smart, capable, and has a great sense of humor. I found myself chuckling at her interactions with her household, especially her butler and father – they're a delightful bunch. Many readers seem to appreciate how quickly Leticia deals with the "heroine" type character, Sumia. It's refreshing to see a protagonist who doesn't drag her feet and is proactive in protecting herself. The overall vibe is wholesome and comforting, and the translation quality seems to be pretty solid, which always makes for a better reading experience. Plus, the "mofumofu" aspect (fluffy animals) is a definite win in my book!

Areas of Concern

While I generally enjoyed the story, I can see some potential drawbacks. One reviewer mentioned feeling like Leticia's actions, while competent, are somewhat minor and lacking in impactful moments. There's a sense that she's living a laid-back life, which is fine, but it might not satisfy readers looking for high-stakes drama or major plot developments. I can understand how some might find her approach to her queenly duties a bit… lacking. It seems like the story prioritizes the "fluffy" slice-of-life elements over more substantial plot progression.

Final Verdict

Overall, Mofumofu Cooking is a charming and enjoyable read, especially if you're looking for something lighthearted and comforting. It might not be a groundbreaking masterpiece, but it's a solid choice for filling your time with a dose of fluff, humor, and a capable female lead. If you go in expecting a relaxing and feel-good story, you won't be disappointed. I'd recommend it to anyone who enjoys fantasy with a focus on domesticity, cooking, and adorable animal companions.
