Master of the System

by Virlyce

Leveling systems create overpowered main characters. Cooking systems create master chefs capable of conquering any stomach. Founder systems create monstrous sects from nothing. However, who creates the systems? This is a completely serious story written by the author of The Blue Mage Raised by Dragons.

I enjoyed the author's Blue Mage raised by Dragons and squirrel girl books, not really the Zombie one, but I'm willing to give this a go.
It mentions Blue Mage in the blurb, so hopefully it's in that same vein of comedy.

I'm a couple chapters in, and I'm enjoying myself, especially with the purchase of a truck-kun... but if this continues to be about a cooking cultivation book, I might drop the series. I have no interest in chef litrpg.
It being here and there in a book, no problem, but an entire book being about cooking? No thanks.

Okay. I'm a quarter way through the book. This is far more than some cooking cultivation litrpg.

I think the story will follow the title of the book. I should have known the author wouldn't just write a book about someone cooking. There are far more moving parts than that.

I really enjoyed this at the end. The start was a slog with that cooking nonsense, but I'm glad I toughed it out.

3/5 Stars

'This is a completely serious story' that is quite humorous. Takes concept of game/leveling/powering/godhood systems and explores the idea of what would happen if those systems were manually moderated by entities with too much power and nothing better to do.

Love the book

Probably my favorite by virlyce I have read it 3-4 times on their website and will continue to reread it every couple of months for the foreseeable future.
