Review: The Movie Star Puts On 1.5 Kilos Per Week (影后一周胖三斤) by Xiao Bao (晓暴)

I read this to recover from the very emotional experience of reading Burn (which I wrote about here). This was advertised as a fun, fluffy food-focused novel, and for the first 55 chapters or so, it was precisely that. The last 25 chapters were a confusing out-of-character rush as the author for whatever reason hurried to wrap up the novel.

( spoilers for the novel under discussion )

I read the Chinese original of the novel on Changpei. There is also, as mentioned previously, an ongoing manhua adaptation, which I hope will wrap up in a more satisfying fashion.
