jesuscristorated Sweet Reincarnation
This show takes the standard Isekai tropes and plays them with a level of honesty and groundedness that is hard to come by (and by this I mean any groundedness at all).
There are some concerns about this not being a cooking show, and that there are politics and war instead. I see this as a strength; I appreciated the sort of bait-and-switch of expecting to see a MC living in leisure and doing what they love, but instead seeing them being confronted by the responsibility of being born noble. Desserts are left mostly in the background but they are used as a plot device here and there.
I like to think of this as Ascendance of a Bookworm but with desserts instead. That is probably the highest praise I can give an Isekai series.
Overall, this is an enjoyable show. The elements of Isekai that make them bad are mostly absent -- I'd recommend it to anyone who doesn't have a big prejudice against the genre.
