If you value the opinion of a reviewer or want the summary of what someone thought, it's not that good - not worth reading and a waste of time. (5/10) if I'm being generous, but I'm not.

This manga is fine for the first 60 chapters or so, but that alone isn't worth justifying reading it until the end.

There are a few large questions left unanswered in my head after catching up to this manga. The first major problem that I believe is wrong with this manga - is that it takes itself too seriously.

It's grounded, which isn't a bad thing, but in the end ... - this is a slice of life romance manga where politics has no place, and that's where the manga seems to end up heading in the later chapters. Any messages that the author tries to convey with the manga's drama is jumbled up and lost in the extraneous chapters that give literally nothing - not even entertainment - to the story.

I DON'T CARE about the romance between two characters I dislike heavily.

Back to the point, this links in with the second major problem I have with the story, and probably the largest.

It's almost as if the author ran out of things to write about and wanted to fill in the blank spaces with serious plot - because he took his own manga too seriously - so he added these extra characters.

It's FINE if they're secondary, but why in the mother f are they sidelining the main characters? They're not even likeable characters. They literally take over the main character's house after breaking his ribs, nose, and arm. Nothing happens to them after this.

What???

Nothing happens to them because they're "incredibly powerful", to which they get beaten by a young half-trained farmer to get sidelined once again.

...What?...

The romance is also incredibly subpar, especially for something that lauds itself as wholesome.

Through reading the manga, I can clearly tell that the author has some sort of NTR kink, displayed through his manga.

Some of the cover images in the later chapters feature the side characters standing with the FMC while the supposed male lead is in the back, drawn as a tiny side addition.
The author uses terms like "real men" and likes to draw other men as pathetic compared to side characters that come in late, and it's even prominent in the male lead, ceding his home to other people (with his wife living in it) after begging to them on his knees in dogeza - AFTER getting his bones broken and lying in a hospital for weeks. Granted, it IS the family member of said wife, but that quickly begins to make little difference after bearing witness to how the male lead ingratiates himself to him. It wouldn't be an exaggeration to call him submissive. It's almost as if the author made him blood related so that readers wouldn't drop.

This *was* an alright read, at first, but the author should have stuck with the wholesome cooking and SOL chapters instead of trying to put plot and garbage romance views in his novel.

It's to the point I'm forced to now wash out my brain with superior romance SOL manga.

All of that led up to my absolutely horrible opinion of it, along with getting me astonished (and irritated) enough to come here to write a negative review on it, which is something that's never happened to me in over 5 years of reading manga.

Astounding.
