The wonderful opening! The ending is also beautiful.

Here we have a courageous, fearless and sympathetic protagonist. And a beautiful, cute, fun and kind of naughty supporting character. A great combination. Great characters in general. All heroes are really cool, fun and interesting.

The plot itself is great, it leaves us very curious about what will happen. And when we think the story is going one way, it ends up going the other way.

The animation it's kind a bad. It is a work that deserved to have been better produced, to have had a greater investment.

Yes, Mandarin is a little uncomfortable at first, ... but you get used to it quickly. Overall, it's the first Chinese work I've watched in full, I loved it. Looking forward to a new season.

NOTE: I have watched the Chinese dub of this release not the Japanese Dub.

Lets just start by saying after hearing/reading the name I thought this to be an Isekai/Reincarnation release but it was not; it somewhat surprised me but the S1 does not do anything else special.

The story is not much interesting; the MC is bored with his every day2day life but is very good at cooking and one day summons a goddess with his food. The history of the MC is also unknown as his parents left him at age 5 and he doesn't remember them much; its the same with the summoned goddess ... Dora/Duola, she has amnesia and does not remember anything about her other than she was caged a few centuries ago. The MC is not OP at starting but as how the story is progressing it is not off the books that he may become one in future.

The animation is decent but with CG scenes here to there that sometimes change the flow while watching. It has a good OP/ED compared to others. It is somewhat entertaining if you don't compare it much.

--Similarity--
At first I thought it to be similar to "Black Summoner" but the first few eps were similar to "Kinsou no Vermeil" (without ecchi/nudity) and the last couple were similar to "HxH Arena arc"

For a show that uses a lot of inspiration from other, better creations, this was boring as hell.

We have:
- heroes who pull skills and powers out of their asses with no build up whatsoever.
- a shitty death cop-out.
- a talking cat with a crescent moon on his forehead.
- a tournament.
- villains with a cliche, boring, totally predictable tragic backstory and as a bonus we even have two siblings on the opposite sides of a really badly explained conflict.

I don’t mind some of those tropes. If they are done well. Surprise, surprise here they are not. They just end up creating something like a ... shitty drink made by mixing all the booze You like without thinking if it's a good idea, and no, the fact that the show is self aware to an extent does not absolve it from still using those tropes.

The story is… ok I guess. Nothing outside of a standard shonen anime. If You saw Yu Yu Hakusho, Dragon Ball, Naruto… hell… even Fairy Tail, then You already know what will happen 99% of the time. Once again, not bad per se, just a bit boring.

Honestly If You’re held at gunpoint I guess there are worse anime to watch. This one is even solid in its mediocrity and predictability.

“Jack of all trades, master of none” is a perfect description of this.
