    The first season is great for learning about Nian Bing’s backstory, his training, and his growth as a magician and cook. It introduces powerful kitchen tools, like the special knife from his father, but these tools aren’t the main focus or a big quest—just small details in the story. The second season feels rushed and less natural. It tries to fit too much into each episode, which makes scenes feel shallow and characters change too quickly. The dialogue often feels forced, with characters explaining things they shouldn’t know or talking awkwardly during fights. Season 2 focuses more on flashy fights and cool powers, but this comesat the cost of good story and character development.nnNian Bing went from clever and emotionally conflicted to a generic stoic power fantasy MC, which removes his earlier charm. Other characters feel less real and mainly exist to support fights or explain the plot.nnI watched season 2 hoping to see the main lead’s relationship with the female lead grow, but there was almost no development.nnWhile season 1 is grounded and interesting, season 2 feels like it relies too much on hype and weak writing. If you want a solid story and characters, season 1 is worth watching, but season 2 will definitely disappoint.nnIn short, the good bit ends with season 1. The first 50 episodes of season 2 lead you on that the story might get better, and the rest is an absolute <spoiler>unfinished</spoiler> mess.

    Everyone relax! There's no harem. There is a main couple, and they love each other deeply, even would die for each other. Neither of them stray from the relationship. Not sure what the previous reviewer was focused on, but considering they dropped it early, just ignore it. The MC does have an identical brother who is also in a relationship. But, there's no partner swapping. There are also other female characters in the series (this is normal!), but they don't stand a chance. Season 2 is very good, and I'm looking forward to the continuation in next season. Watch without worry!
