This is a work in progress. Major editing will be performed as the volumes come together. There will be typos and parts that might make no sense. Please feel free to point any of these parts out! Chapters will be edited.
This is a mash-up of cozy slice of life fantasy and weak to strong progression fantasy. I'm aiming to hit the sweet spot between the two. Expect tempo switches between cozy cooking fun and action-adventure sequences depending on the arcs. Even better is when I get to combine the two. The tone is light with heavy dashes of grim sprinkled here and there.

The story was fine until around c27 where the MC decided that provoking the evil Boss is a good idea. Take note that she just learned how cruel he is that morning. She does not even have magic for combat or even experience in fighting and she has the gall to humiliate the boss in public without regards for the consequences. And the consequences came quick. I was enjoying this story until this part. I hate MCs that act recklessly and idiotically even though they dont have the power to face the consequences of their actions. Especially if it potentially involves their friends or family. Thats all.
